These books are a mix of popular and obscure. I like their prose and style, though they may not suit most people's tastes.
What I Love to Read
Dedicated to myself.
High-Quality Novels
A very eclectic reading list. You'll need a bit of mental resilience; some of these books are pretty unsettling.
Bannuo Bao Quality Picks
A few of my favorite books. The characters and plots are both great, and they're well worth reading. The protagonists aren't helplessly moe, and most are single.
Books I Consider Good, with Quality That Holds Up
There's a mix of completed stories, ongoing ones, and abandoned ones. Overall, nothing too glaringly wrong with them.

Non-Yuri Novels
Although gender-swap stories, yuri, girls getting close, and books about a reborn villainess conquering the original protagonist's harem are popular these days, I really can't get into yuri. It's just a matter of personal taste. For other types, like pure romance and harem stories, I've found a few that are pretty good, so here they are for reference. Give them a try if you're interested.
Books I've Read
I've picked out some books I've read. Some are skillfully written from start to finish and end perfectly, while others have novel formulas but start strong and then lose steam. As readers, though, we can at least say that parts of these stories are compelling and worth reading. No particular order, just a list. My admiration for the excellent works, and my regret for the canceled and abandoned ones. I've also removed some books that started strong but went downhill from my shelf after reading th
Novels I Consider Top-Tier
Novels I've dug up myself, with what I consider excellent imagination and writing.
In a Reading Slump? Can't Find Anything Good? Come Take a Look
Here I'll recommend books I personally think are good. Strongly recommended for newcomers: quirky, grotesque, and Blade's Edge.
Deception, Deduction, Passion, Angst, Little Sister, One True Favorite, Transmigration, Gender-Bender Harem, Cultivation
Books I can revisit again and again after falling into the rabbit hole. I discover something new every time. You can't fully grasp the feelings behind the words on your first read, and when you look back, something still feels missing. All you can do is return to the way you felt when you first discovered the book and read it over and over. I hope this helps when you're out of things to read.
My One-of-a-Kind Masterpieces
So many exclamations! The world is so colorful, beautiful, and incredible. But for me, it's a bit too much. As I take in more and more, I slowly become a little mouse that can only curl up and hide. Light novels have always been a way for me to numb myself, but they've also helped me become certain of where I want to stand in this world. Wonderful things often inspire us to seek the light. This is a path toward the sun. Every book gives me the strength to keep going. Now I want to share them wit
Books I've Read Over the Years
These are all books I think are pretty good.

Only includes what I consider the very best stories on SF. This is also for readers who like quality fiction and want to find hidden gems. Feel free to suggest more.
Fantasy Stories With Great Plots
Gender-swap romances. No fanfiction. Mostly harem-focused, with transformation, yuri, single leads, and pure romance.
A Breath of Fresh Air on Pineapple Bun: Battles, Everyday Life, Another World, and Passion
A breath of fresh air on Bilibili Comics. Keywords: battles, slice of life, another world, hot-blooded, adventure This is hilarious. I'm just recommending Planar Apple's books: two divine works that I absolutely have to rave about. I made this whole list specifically to recommend these two books. No reason other than that they're worth it. I Got Out of Being a Hero Long Ago is the book that got me into this genre, so I'm keeping it at the top of the list. I first got into Bilibili Comics bec
One Female Lead, No System, No Gender-Bending, No Yuri
Books I personally like. If we're on the same wavelength, come take a look. (I feel like Bubble is leaving me behind 😑)
Wuxia, Fantasy, Comedy, Combat, and Passion
All kinds of action stories, mainly wuxia and fantasy. In short, they're all masterpieces, with twists and turns in the plot and grand, sweeping scenes. They have both the youthful spirit of the martial world and the mystery of fantasy. The stories are tightly connected, with strong continuity.
A Reading List from a Four- or Five-Year Veteran Bookworm
Most of these are masterpieces (heroic stories or adorable, lovey-dovey couples), including but not limited to yuri, cute couples, little girls, and healing stories (probably no gender-bender romance...) (≧∇≦)/
Rare Novels with Truly Unique Qualities
As the saying goes, you buy lean meat at the fatty-meat stall and fatty meat at the lean-meat stall. On Buluobao, where transformation harems are the mainstream, it's incredibly difficult for novels with very different styles to claim a place with outstanding results. I'd call that downright amazing. I've read all these rare novels, and I'll keep looking for more to add and present to you, my lords. Ongoing updates...
Lots of Exceptionally Good Novels on Pineapple Bun
I'll read pretty much anything that interests me. So I'm sharing some fun novels I've finished or am currently reading. There are both older completed books and newer books that are still updating. I'll probably update this from time to time.
A Ten-Year Veteran Reader's Book List (I Applied on a Whim and They Actually Approved It.)
I've been reading web novels since elementary school, so you could say I'm a seasoned reader. Below are some novels on Bilibili Comics that I think are free of major issues and worth reading. (Honestly, whether it's Bilibili or CW, after all this time, I've found that only Qidian has anything readable. I won't say more about those two.) P.S. Saint Returns is pretty good too. I forgot to recommend it.

I think this book isn't famous because of the platform it's on. If it were on another platform, it would probably be another masterpiece as successful as "Rolling Blade." I feel like Pineapple's books are becoming increasingly similar these days.
Tang De is so gentle!!!
Volume Sixteen, a divine title bestowed upon the heart. Only now, upon reaching this point, do I understand why Tang De made his choice. Philin's death is a fact, and even his best efforts to atone for it are futile. Therefore, he chose to forget, to give up; he abandoned his past self, understanding that everything is in the past. Thus, Tang De chose an unconventional form of suicide, "killing" his past self. Why did the Mad God say Tang De could be his successor? Perhaps because Philin's death plunged this transmigrator from another world into "the darkest and most terrifying madness," because Tang De possessed both wisdom and martial prowess. And why was Miss Philin the Mad God's trap...?
I had some thoughts after reading this, so I wrote a brief summary. Please don't criticize if you disagree.
Everyone thinks, but what people don't realize is that this thinking is also a kind of power, converging in an incredible way. Finally, all the fantasies converged, forming a colossal wave that engulfed the world. Silently, while people were still living their ordinary lives, the world changed. The new world, Eris, was born... This is a brand new world... "A new country?" "This place is really strange. Even though we have cameras, we still use horse-drawn carriages." This is a world of fantasy... "Where is this place? How amazing! My leg! It's healed!" "Magic, it's actually real..."
(No spoilers) The best Chinese light drama so far
The world-building of the novel *The Vigilant* has a strong *Clash of Clans* (Cthulhu mythos) feel. The protagonist is a private detective who has lost his memory, and also a "Vigilant" battling various "fantastical phenomena." The author, "Dimensional Apple," once again showcases his masterful episodic writing style. Each major chapter is an episodic story, and these episodic stories intertwine to present a captivating narrative. Personally, what I love most about this novel is its well-developed and relatable supporting characters. These supporting characters are not...
Three times already, no spoilers, long review—
What kept me hooked wasn't the pineapple bun, but the apple 🍎. When a novel, impactful, and attention-grabbing theme is introduced, a flood of subsequent novels follows. These themes possess a unique quality: existing mechanisms and structures can easily yield a rudimentary novel. While their beginnings may all be impressive, the overlap in plot, characters, and settings is excessive. After encountering the first work of this genre, the reading experience plummeted. This isn't to say the author's writing is poor, but rather that the theme itself limits the author's creativity. After all...
My assessment is: psychedelic.
This book is truly exceptional! Apple is incredibly talented (if she doesn't throw in any angst). This book truly showcases Apple's exceptional control over language, as one of the most talented authors, and her exquisite construction of world-building and character development. Although I haven't read Apple's other works, judging from this one, Apple is truly exceptional. The concise and fluent language sketches a bizarre and psychedelic world in just a few chapters, seamlessly blending references to the Foundation and various games. The portrayal of the male protagonist is equally concise yet profound; the author uses simple language to construct a unique and vivid character...
A user named Bu, who loves apples, gifted the author a "Little Lolita Heart" item worth 100,000 Fire Coins.
It's really upsetting. When I used to read this novel, there were so many updates that I couldn't keep up. But because of some things, I didn't read it for a long time, and now it's all finished.
Apple, my Superman, take a rest if you're tired.
In my opinion, Apple's *The Vigilant* is in no way inferior to *The Scroll*, and even its opening, after establishing its style, is better than *The Scroll*'s more light-hearted tone (this is the fourth one I've read; I bought the first three). *The Founding of a Nation* is filled with the tragic and bloody history of unifying the Zum continent. *The Scroll* is an epic tale of the Black Iron race embarking on a journey to give them a glimmer of hope against the Silver and Gold races. In *The Assassin*, even in his madness, Rhodes strives to ensure his brother's survival and to make him a good "lord." And *The Vigilant*, as a "transmigrator," Tang De is fortunate enough to encounter Philin in the new world, and through memories...
If you like it, come and read it.
The plot and background have already been praised, so let me praise Tang De instead. Like the "Tang" in Don Quixote and the "De" in Don Quixote, this is a kind of allusion. People see him as a madman, but he revels in his own fantasies. Unlike Don Quixote, who ends up tragically, he has the power to change everything. He seems mad and illogical, yet he always adheres to his bottom line and principles, always resisting the world's distortion and darkness, and always protecting fragile kindness and innocence. He tells Byronvis that he doesn't believe in justice; I think Tang De believes in the conscience of humanity. If the plot and background of this book are already a meticulously crafted dragon, then...
