Hidden Gems with Excellent Writing
(Includes Western fantasy, other worlds, epics, science fiction, and more.) This list features fantasy works with a variety of styles, all of them high quality. Most of the authors are incredibly dedicated, with substantial word counts. Quite a few have been serialized for over six years, and some even date back to the site's early days as a forum. These are diamonds buried in coal, waiting for someone to pick them up. (Updated irregularly. Check the bottom of the list for new additions.) (Ratin

Underrated Quality Reads
Updated 2026.6.8 (A belated good luck on the college entrance exams!) The original purpose of this list was to collect and promote some obscure but well-written free books that have been buried because they don't fit the trends on Loli Bao. I think helping more people discover these books is the only and best thing I can do, though ultimately it's probably just self-indulgence on my part (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) Also: I'll try to pick books with fewer saves but a decent word count, and update or prune the

Books Worth Sitting Down to Read Closely
I hope this list gives you a different reading experience. These are mostly subjective opinions, and my reviews of unfinished books may be a little off. My criteria include good prose, a good premise, strong characterization, emotional resonance, and a smooth, engaging plot. I consider all of these before adding a book.
[Personal Picks] Rare Gems (Mostly Female-Led)
Updated whenever I feel like it. 2023.9 Introduction: I come to SF to read stories with female protagonists (1: I'm tired of male-protagonist stories; 2: If I wanted to read those, why would I come to SF? Of course, there are exceptions for truly outstanding ones). But I don't like yuri unless the writing is exceptionally good, so many of these are gender-swap marriage stories. #The main text begins here I've been reading novels for many years. I was bored, so I made this list to collect the g
Solo Romance: The Wise Don't Fall in Love
List: exactly what it sounds like Yuri-leaning: lots of female characters, with no romance plot Marriage-leaning: lots of male characters, or about an equal number of men and women, with no romance plot I got into this genre through Luo Re, back when I didn't even know the concept of gender-bending. Then I read Meng Zhai Qian Ji Bian, so my sense of chemistry between characters, or even the idea of that kind of chemistry, is a little fuzzy. That's why I haven't marked any preferences in this li

The book is good, but there are two points I disagree with. 1: The world-building is huge, the narrative is so slow, and the author is clearly very busy. 2: Slow-burn type, 1.6 Million has not yet been fully developed. 3: Except for being slow to heat up, everything else is great. 4: I want to outlive the author. I don't want to die one day and find the author's world-building still undeveloped. On the seventh day after my death, I'll definitely go to the author's closet for good measure.
A world worth looking forward to. Will it be warm and welcoming, or cruel and cruel?
So far, the nearly 600,000-word novel doesn't seem to have truly unfolded its plot. The protagonist, whose origins are unknown, is still searching for the reason for his amnesia and his purpose in being reincarnated. Speaking of which, his superpower seems to be limited to antidotes for now? But this is part of the novel's charm: in a world transitioning from a pastoral to an industrial age, how will an "ordinary person" with only survival skills, yet repeatedly drawn into terrifying events, uncover the truth and protect himself and those around him? And what's also worth anticipating is this world, where only a corner of the truth seems to have been revealed so far. Almost every chapter contains small foreshadowing elements...
I hope the author gets a lot of traffic.
It's well-written, quite structured, showing a foundation in engineering, law, economics, and religion. It also touches on the problems encountered in development. The protagonist is no longer an overpowered character, and the people around him are no longer mere supporting characters; they all have distinct personalities and characteristics. To delve deeper into the social problems brought about by rapid development, I think one could read some management books, but that seems a bit off-topic. While I don't intend to criticize one while praising another, it's a shame this unconventional, well-developed, and high-quality work has such low popularity. Compared to those empty, arrogant, delusional male protagonists with the same template of rich and powerful men, the familiar hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope, and protagonists weaker than girls, this kind of work appeals to me much more...
I'll save this for later, after I finish reading the other book.
Such a comfortable writing style and rhythm
It would be even better if there were illustrations.
It gets more and more interesting the more I read it; things written for my own amusement are always good.
A newly discovered treasure—Also, I'd like to ask the author if they'd be interested in joining the group to play around?
Even after Shan Bai got married, there was still no emotional storyline.
