Miscellaneous Recommendations, Mostly Not Fluff
I'll keep updating this.
Personal Collection (All Genres)
Ongoing updates
A Veteran Transformation-Novel Reader’s Picks
Gender-bender novel recommendations.
Great Female-Protagonist Stories (Mostly Yuri, With a Few Single-Ending Stories)
It's so hard to find books on Pinecone Bun. Here are some hidden gems I like. Rated out of 10, with a pretty varied mix of genres (probably). Why can't I find 30 books worth following? (Dizzy)
A Web Novel Fan's Personal Reading List
A collection of niche works with distinctive styles and plots that fit together seamlessly.
Solo Romance or Dominant Leads, No Wimps
Some Novels with Good Plots, Both Straight and Yuri
I can finally make a reading list! I don't like gender-bender romance. I've read both yuri and solo-protagonist stories, and I'll recommend some that I think are good. (Most importantly, most of them are really long!)
Horror and Bizarre Yuri Novels
These are all amazing, unconventional yuri novels. (Feels like I've been seeing a lot of this kind of story lately 🥵)
Books I Personally Enjoyed
Pinecone has way too much samey content these days.
Interesting Stories I've Read on Bilibili Comics
This list consists of my personal recommendations for books I've read on Bilibili Comics, so it's quite subjective. Most are female-protagonist stories, and I read quite a lot of both yuri and gender-bender stories.
There's Something Here to Sink Your Teeth Into!
These are some of the most interesting books I've read on Pinecone. The genres are varied, including male-led stories, yuri with gender-bent characters, and single-protagonist stories, as well as danmei, angst, and mind games. The scale is out of 10, but a relatively low score doesn't necessarily mean a book is bad. It's just my personal rating compared with the other books on this list. I don't think there's a dud here (probably).
Recommendations for Late-Stage Reading Slump Sufferers
Books I've read that I thought were pretty good, with solid writing and plots. I'll add more good ones as I find them.
Horror, Deduction, and Mind Games
Whether or not they are horror infinite-loop stories, these are all well-written works that emphasize logic and careful thought. Please let me know if you have more recommendations. I'll gradually expand the list.
Dedicated to the Witch Called Calamity
My memories of youth. No weak-willed bottoms and no brainless wish-fulfillment stories. These are probably some of the better books on this app. Let me know if anything should be added (●, ●)
My Personal Gender-Swap Novel Recommendations
Gender-swap novels I've read and thought were pretty good.
Three Things in Goose City: Classics! Classics! And More Classics!
A-tier sci-fi, A-tier epic narratives, A-tier sister-con in fiction, A.b-tier youth and everyday life, b- and c-tier "fossil works," plus a few niche picks for my own collection. Please use your own judgment when evaluating them, fellow readers (literary, SCP, satire, and so on). I'll keep adding to the list from time to time. If you only follow trends, you may enjoy a brief moment in the spotlight. But if you stick to your own style, you can be the one to create a new pinnacle. Worn Blade, God
Masterpieces
Over the years, I've read some outstanding works from SF to Palulu that left a deep impression on me. Excellent prose and entertaining stories are the bare minimum. Lately, I've gradually stopped finding new works I like, so I decided to organize and share some of my favorites. This list includes well-known works, current hits, books that faded from view after finishing, and niche, obscure titles. Every one of them made me go back and reread it several times.
Mostly Gender-Bender Romance
Scored out of ten. Every book here is one I think is worth reading, but the ratings are very subjective. I'll update the descriptions when I have time.
Books with Strong Prose or Logic
I'll recommend books that I think are well written and have coherent plots and logic. Since they're all books I've read, I may have some obvious genre preferences, and my reviews will be personal. I'll try to include a variety, mixing old and new. I'll mention what I think each book does well and any problems, and try to be as objective as possible. I hope you find something good to read. P.S. I'll keep updating this as long as I don't leave Bilibili, but my standards are pretty high, so don't g
Five-Year SF User's Treasure Hunt Recommendations
I'm sharing the gold I've dug up from my own literary cesspit, buried under the sissy-fiction backdrop.
Old-Timer, Time to Drop Some New Chapters!
This is a pretty bare-bones description. I honestly can't think of what to write. I wasn't around back then, so my knowledge of old books is really, really limited. I'll do my best to add old books that I think are good. I don't have the time to cover everything, so if you know any old books that fit, feel free to @ me. Of course, some may not be that old. (I couldn't find anything else!) QWQ
Tired of the Same Old Tropes? Check Out These Amazing Perspectives!
A fun novel is an interesting story told from an interesting perspective under an interesting premise. This list collects some high-quality novels I've read with distinctive perspectives. No restrictions on tags. The list order is reversed, so start from the bottom and work your way up. The ranking is purely subjective. I've already tried these books, and the good stuff is in there. Enjoy!
Long, High-Quality Novels (Gender-Bender Yuri and Gender-Bender Solo Romance)
I guarantee every book on this list is over 1.5 million words, so you'll be crying, "Where did the time go?!" Quality guaranteed, too! I don't recommend bad books. They're all top-notch works on Pinecone. This list covers both obscure and popular titles. If you're out of things to read, come take a look. Obscure just means less popular, not poorly written... In short, I want to spare more readers the pain of finding something to read. Everything here features gender transformation, either into a
Gender-Bender, Yuri, and Solo Romance
Guaranteed by the experience of a longtime bookworm: this list will cure your reading slump.

This book is getting worse and worse; the volume about sailing was simply unreadable.
The author's writing has become increasingly sloppy; they no longer construct intricate and logically consistent worlds as before. They seem to write whatever comes to mind, regardless of conflicting settings or plot coherence. The Dark World setting inherently suffers from a fatal flaw: the sheer number of deaths. Assuming a relatively high survival rate of 60%, a player who plays 20 games has a survival rate of approximately 0.6 To the power of 20, meaning around 25,000 Dark World players have died. A player who plays 40 games has a death rate approaching 1 billion, and that's a significant underestimate. This isn't to say the protagonist's social circle has a high mortality rate, but rather that the entire game is like this, based on a standard 12-game Werewolf game...
Although I know the author, Chami, hasn't had enough, and I started reading it in 2018, *True Zabudo* should be finished. The plot is like watching an American TV series where the characters' intelligence seems to be driving the story forward. The game is difficult because everyone wants to play their own game, and if someone tries to play with the female lead, she starts to doubt them again. Every time her K/D and survival stats are so bad, it's just a crazy and suicidal battle of wits.
A very simple personal review
I first encountered this book this year, listening to the audiobook, which took a while. I only finished listening to all 20 volumes today. I really love this book and the character Hua Ru. At the beginning, Miss Hua Ru was truly ruthless and immoral, but she was only trying to survive. She schemed to manipulate others, studied the rules, constantly thought, and then defeated her enemies. Like in the ghost world, she deceived everyone, even the lie detector, and then killed in front of her savior, Ling Wan, even after victory was within her grasp. I don't dislike her. In fact, at the beginning, I even disliked her because of her ruthlessness, plus the voice actress's...
I finally understand why the protagonist can live for so long.
There's only one reason she can live so long: whenever a villain tries to kill the protagonist, she immediately activates a verbal battleground. Within this battleground, everyone must engage in verbal communication with her; they can't kill her or simply cleave her in two with a single blow. That's why she's lived so long. I just don't understand why all the villains have to engage in verbal battles with the protagonist. Things that could be resolved with a single strike become a huge mess of rambling, with all sorts of disdain and contempt. In reality, they're just useless fools themselves.
To the incredibly sassy Miss Hua in my heart
Miss Hua is the only character in all the novels I've read that I've remembered for eight years. The first few worlds were really well-written, and I really liked our despicable, shameless, and incredibly manipulative Miss Hua. What I liked was when the lawyer confronted Hua Ru, and Hua Ru used her superpowers to find out that the lawyer also had the ability to randomly attack people. I thought that was fantastic. Now, Hua Ru is gradually developing feelings and isn't as ruthless as before, afraid that her information might be exposed and harm her. I knew this at the time. To be honest, when the novel wrote that later, I was a little sad, but later...
The last time I read this novel was seven years ago. I really can't believe that after seven years, it's still not finished.
Jingjie is still updating! Finding a job has been so hard lately. I suddenly remembered Pineapple Bun, and when I came back and saw my favorite novel was still being updated, I was so happy! Jingjie, we love you so much!
I was so disappointed after watching Red, Green, Yellow and Blue.
The intellectual battles have become less and less engaging, and they've lost their appeal. Later on, the story starts with an interesting premise or rule, then Hua Ru uses persuasive tactics (yes, I don't even consider it an intellectual battle; it's literally whatever the protagonist says goes), and finally, there's hand-to-hand combat (where's the intellectual battle?). While I sometimes find the protagonist, Ling Wan, and others' behavior and character design uncomfortable, I can manage. But the story structure is truly baffling; it's all talk and hand-to-hand combat, and the rules have become mere background. And then there's the octal number at the end—it's just too "mind-bending" and too much of an "intellectual battle"!
There's definitely something fishy about how Uncle Black died!!
I think I understand now. I guess the author didn't know how to handle Uncle Black's incredibly high combat power later on, so they forced his death. Uncle Black was such a good person, how could you do that?! It's not that I can't accept Uncle Black's death, it's that he shouldn't have ended like that. Even if it wasn't a spectacular ending, at least give the readers a satisfying conclusion. It's hard to say that dying like this isn't just the author's twisted sense of humor. And what about the protagonist's transformation? Is it because it's an infinite flow story that the transformation is so slow, even if it lasts a hundred years? However, a high-IQ protagonist is indeed appealing. And when are they going to change bodies? Keep changing bodies...?
