Updated: 6mo ago

🌼There's already a second list, too, so if you're looking for something to read, give it a follow. 🌸Some books from the main list will gradually be moved to the genre lists and removed, so feel free to follow the genre lists you like. 🌸Because of the list size limit, reviews for some books of the same type will be collected under a single book. 🌸Please follow and send flowers～😁 🌻There are six genre lists🌻: Plot-driven stories (not dumbed down): ① Sci-fi ② Fantasy ③ High fantasy ④ Urban ⑤ Historical ⑥ Xianxia The protagonists aren't hopelessly naive, and they have their wits about them. The plots aren't so predictable that you can guess the ending from the opening. They may offer the occasional surprise or creative touch, and the writing has some substance instead of sounding like a string of exam-style parallel phrases or being all about reckless power-ups. There are both new and old books of every kind. The older ones are books I can read at least twice, while the newer ones are generally over 300,000 characters. Mostly male protagonists ☞ high fantasy, transmigration, rebirth, historical, apocalypse, and sci-fi. 🌸Recommendation ratings: Mindless fun, Worth a look if you're out of things to read, Try it, Worth reading, Recommended, Highly recommended.🌸 I'll adjust reviews as I read. For example, if a book starts poorly but gets exciting later, I'll update the rating accordingly. 🐰 Books rated “Try it” will be the first to go when the list is full. I'll get around to reading everyone's recommendations when I have time. If I like a book, I'll add it to the list. If I don't think it's a good fit or I'm still undecided, I'll leave an honest review. Thanks for following. Try looking from the bottom up. Sometimes revisiting an old book you read years ago can make you feel something entirely different.
