(Not that anyone reads this description anyway.) This list is for books I like. My tastes are pretty broad, so I won't bother sorting them into categories. I like books with fresh ideas. I like beautiful prose. I like stories that are a joy to read. Most of all, I love books that leave you savoring them long after you finish. Those are the ones you absolutely shouldn't miss. But I know I'm quite picky about what I read. A lot of web novels are wish fulfillment, and that's totally fine. I understand and accept it, and even enjoy some of those books. What I can't accept is wish fulfillment that doesn't make sense. The term itself sounds contradictory: if it's wish fulfillment, why should it have to make sense? Is transmigration realistic? Is a golden finger realistic? But I'm not talking about unrealistic premises. Writing already takes a wild imagination. I mean things that don't make logical or social sense. The first is easy to understand: it ruins the reading experience and makes people drop the book, so most authors avoid it. The second is the real issue. Here's an example: 1. The narration or supporting characters present the protagonist as a good person with a positive image, and the protagonist sees themselves that way too. 2. But from an outside observer's perspective (mine), the protagonist's actions are domineering, arrogant, malicious, and rude. 3. This creates a contradiction between points 1 and 2 and common social understanding. In reality, the protagonist's behavior wouldn't earn them other people's admiration or favoritism, let alone the affection of beautiful women. That's another kind of implausibility. Yet many wish-fulfillment novels fall into what I consider a major dealbreaker. At its heart, this comes from extreme self-centeredness.
