- Eclectic Tastes, Broad Styles, and Books I Think Are Great 口味杂，风格广，且觉得很不错的书 I've been an avid reader for seven or eight years. I'm neither particularly seasoned nor a newcomer. These are all books I've enjoyed, but even when I really like a book, I don't reread it, so I won't claim they're endlessly rereadable. They might be so good that you'd want to read them again, but that's just not a habit of mine, so I won't "lie" about it. Anyway, they're all definitely good books. 1. The list is updated regularly. 2. No filler or advertising. 26Books11Follows7moUpdated
- ➽ Recommending Quality Reads ➠ Reviewing Budding Gems ☞ Appreciating the Best Stories ✃ ➽推品质好书➠评仙苗仙草☞赏析天下文章✃ 1. Book recommendations ✍ Every book here is one I've read at least up to its latest chapter. I don't skim, and I won't recommend books just because someone gave me a gift. My ability is limited, but my integrity is guaranteed. That's why updates are slow. 2. Ratings ✍ I rate books I think deserve a good or excellent rating. A rating is a sign of quality. Rating rules ☞ The maximum score is 5, for example, The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. The minimum is 3. I don't bother rating anything below that. 40Books84Follows7moUpdated

A record of books I've read 🚩 (More for tracking than recommending) 🌀 I like infrastructure-building, business management, farming, Fourth-Dimensional Disasters, history, and behind-the-scenes stories. But I'm open to other genres when I'm out of things to read, so my tastes are pretty broad. 🌀 Reviews cover only the parts I've read and are updated as I go. The fan-value indicators generally reflect my actual reading 74Books568Follows7moUpdated

- Hunan Warlord's Xianxia Library (Only Recommending Books I've Read) 湖南军阀的仙侠文库（只推荐看过的） I've been reading web novels for twenty years, and my favorite genres are xianxia, fantasy, urban fiction, and historical fiction. Lately I've mostly been reading xianxia, so I'll start with a list of those and add other genres later. I hope we have similar tastes. If this list helps you find even a couple of xianxia novels you'll enjoy among the countless choices, I'll be delighted. 32Books273Follows7moUpdated

- No Romance, Ensemble Cast 无CP，群像 Since most stories lose all common sense as soon as they introduce romance, I’ve preferred romance-free stories and ensemble casts pursuing their careers over the past two years. Recommendations are welcome. I’ve read at least half of every novel I recommend. Please let me know if any later developments no longer fit the theme 22Books1Follows7moUpdated

- Great Novels That Never Made the Top Charts 那些不在榜首的精彩小说 I keep scrolling through the books at the top of the charts, but none of them are to my taste. Then one day, at some moment, I stumble across a book I love. I read it in one sitting, and the more I read, the more I like it. I leave a comment, scrape together 100 coins to tip the author, and give it my recommendation and the one or two monthly votes I can spare. Then I search the rankings and scroll for ages before I find it. Sigh ╯﹏╰. Those poor little books that never make the top of the charts 44Books123Follows7moUpdated

- Books I've Enjoyed in Recent Years, Mostly Female-Led Xianxia and Mystery 近几年喜欢的书，女频仙侠悬疑居多 I'm picky and always running out of books. Lately, I'm only reading xianxia, fantasy, and mystery novels with good prose. I like strong male and female leads who stand side by side. No weak little flowers, no saintly characters, no mindless stories, and no melodramatic romantic entanglements full of angst. Books I've read and liked: Jiejian by Yu Jing Peng Xiang; From Longevity to Ascension by Xiao Shi Ni Ge Zha Zha; The Legend of Shen Li by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang; The First Sickly Disciple of the Cul 24Books10Follows7moUpdated

- Books I've Collected and Finished, and That Left an Impression (Mostly Complete) 本人收藏的，已看完的，有感觉的书。（基本完结） From childhood to adulthood, all kinds of things have moved me, and all kinds of books have touched my heart. Was it the books that moved me, or did I happen upon them at just the right time? Since starting work, I haven't had much time to read. I pick up books here and there, in little fragments, so the emotions never really build or linger. I've still finished a few, though. I'll make time to catch up on the good ones. 40Books8Follows7moUpdated

I started with the ordinary man's The Sword Immortal, then read the pioneering Journey to the Ethereal Realm. From cultivation to fantasy, online games, urban fiction, and history, I still love cultivation most!

Every recommendation has rich cultural depth and gives you something to think about. Fast-food wish-fulfillment novels aren't for me. (Every book here is easy to follow even if you haven't read the original.) Corrections are welcome, and debate is encouraged. Trolls, keyboard warriors, and mindless haters can get lost. 14Books61Follows7moUpdated
