I mainly recommend novels without romance. I'll say so if a novel has a romantic pairing. If I can't find any new books, I'll recommend older ones instead. Some may be plot-focused or feature large ensemble casts, like a TV series. By the way, one of my favorite sci-fi authors is Liu Wenyang. All his works are great, and he can always use simple, unadorned prose to tell wonderfully compelling stories. On Qidian, I really like the novels by Ci Miao (Chen Ci Landiao). A representative work is *Back to the Past: I Became a Cat*. If we share similar tastes, you might enjoy my list. Also, I'm always running out of books to read, so recommendations are welcome. Thanks~
