No Tag-Alongs, No Dumbed-Down Characters, Big Ideas, No Padding, No Mutters to Themselves 不带妹，不降智，脑洞大，不水字，不喃喃自语

I can't guarantee that every book on this list has all these qualities. A novel's quality naturally fluctuates over the course of writing, but each one is above the passing line. Tight plots, no brainless characters, big ideas, no harem, and no endless muttering to oneself. I'll keep adding to the list. I've seen enough people who call themselves longtime readers put together lists full of toxic picks, so I decided to make my own. Birds of a feather flock together. Let's make friends through books and share the fun! If you've started reading a book because of my list, please follow and like it too. That way, more like-minded readers can find books they'll enjoy.
