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
Miscellaneous Recommendations, Mostly Not Fluff
I'll keep updating this.
Less Wish Fulfillment, No Harem, and a Vast, Consistent World
Focused on ensemble casts (not many ensemble stories like Re:Zero, but those are the standard, along with No Game No Life), with some action and a Western fantasy style. No cringe, no brainless plots, and hardly any steamy scenes. My personal ratings: 2 means good, 4 means epic, and 5 means immortal. I don't rate books that have stopped updating. (Updated irregularly.) (My personal rating for Re:Zero is 4.7, and for No Game No Life, 4.75.)

[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

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the launch of the Sumi Journey. Thank you all for your support throughout the year. I will continue writing until the day I run out of ideas. I hope everyone will continue to support me on this journey.
A rare masterpiece that brings fantasy to life.
This novel tells the story of Sumi, a girl with a tragic past, who embarks on a journey after becoming a little witch. She travels through various cities and towns, experiencing laughter, tears, and helplessness along the way. The girl, determined to build an airplane, perseveres despite reprimands from her teacher and opposition from her family. Although her plane ultimately crashes, her dream retains its brilliance. Arriving in a magical city, she finds it filled with discrimination against ordinary people and the affected manner of magicians. She laments her indifference, realizing the insignificance of one person in changing deeply ingrained societal norms. Then, she arrives in a wealthy city…
Novels similar to Witch's Journey are suitable for adaptation into anime.
Compared to *Wandering Witch's Journey*, it might lack the yuri element, but the short stories are refreshing and charming, depicting a girl's experiences traveling in another world. Some stories reveal the darker side of life and reflect certain realities, while others offer inspiring and touching moments, making it suitable for reading a short story daily. It would be great as an anime adaptation (๑• . •๑). The author feels like a quiet storyteller, unaffected by external circumstances, possessing her own little world yet generously sharing it. Her efforts and perseverance add a touch of tranquility and steadfastness to this restless society.
My heart hasn't been feeling well this week, so I'll take a break from updating and go for a medical checkup.
Post-viewing thoughts (a treasure trove)
Congratulations to myself for discovering one of the few gems in Pineapple Bun (clapping hands)! The title: It does indeed have a striking resemblance to "Witch's Journey" (laughs), so in essence, it's faithful, expressive, and elegant enough. Setting: Both the world and the story created by the author are very interesting (although they're mostly dark and disturbing stuff, laughs). The author didn't use overly detailed descriptions of everyone's mindsets; a few simple actions and dialogues are enough to explain everything (there are too many stories in Pineapple Bun that include every little detail, making them seem...).
The chapter "The Inexhaustible Meat" was not approved for some reason. You can search for "SuMi's Journey" on Lofter to view it.
Happy Lunar New Year's Eve! The next chapter will be updated on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year!
It's said they're making a game, and will return after its release.
Only by sticking together and helping each other can we get better and better.
After May Day, the company will be having a surge in overtime work, so I'll try to update more during that time. I apologize for the slower update speed!
