Some Novels I Personally Think Are Pretty Good
I'm pretty picky about writing style. These are novels I thought were decent, including but not limited to fantasy, xuanhuan, science fiction, xianxia, urban fiction, supernatural, alternate history, and TS. (Still updating.)
Personal Recommendations, All with Great Writing
I read a lot, so I thought I'd share some of my favorites.

Seems pretty good.
Pretty Good Books
Was it 2017 when I first came here? Or even earlier? I don't remember. Over the many years I've spent reading on this site, I've found a number of books worth reading. Reading has changed along with our fast-paced society, from something that shook the soul and guided our thoughts to disposable entertainment that fills the void and kills time. But we shouldn't, and mustn't, forget that reading is ultimately meant to offer guidance. Here are some good books from this site that have survived the t
Recommending Books With Truly Heartbreaking Plots
Every book here is complete, with a mix of genres, including straightforward stories, gender-bending, and gender-swapping. Overall, there are a few too many tearjerkers, so stay away if you only want fluffy, sugar-sweet stories.

After reading the title, the introduction, and the article, I have three completely different impressions!
First, when I first discovered this book, I thought, "Ah, Demon King, sword drawing... Is this another Demon King and Hero romance novel?!" I clicked on it anyway, even though it was on the homepage. Then, I read the synopsis... Ah... It's not Demon King and Hero, emmmm, it looks more like a transmigration story: "I'm the Demon King, I'm Awesome, I Conquer the World and Collect a Harem." Saintesses and succubi didn't even cross my mind. Yeah, that's it. But since I was looking for something to read, I clicked in anyway. So I read over four hundred chapters, and now I'm so glad I didn't give up on this book because of the title and synopsis. I can only say it's brilliantly written! From the setting to the plot...
The advantages are obvious but not thorough; the disadvantages are few but fatal.
The content ends on June 15th of the novel. Advantages: The novel depicts the lives of a group of people and their wild imaginations, unaffected by current trends or perhaps it breaks free from clichés? The fake transformation at the beginning is actually a mind swap; I speculate the author is female, please don't hit me if I'm wrong. The gender-swap theme brings in some gay characters, and then there's no fan service throughout, which is the most significant drawback. If the soul of light novels is lightness, then the current trend in Chinese light novels determines the mainstream, which includes fan service, but the fan service is limited to seeing the girls' fair skin and collarbones below their necks. So, I'll be blunt: author, if you're a man...
What's wrong with my Descia?
What's wrong with my Desilia? Your sister's self-awareness has been distorted. Due to a thousand-year curse, Desilia, existing as the world-destroying witch Artea, is no longer allowed to be your sister. This is fundamentally different from ordinary distorted consciousness. You can try to find a way to awaken your sister within the church. I guarantee that without our decryption service, even the Creator God himself cannot restore her self-awareness. Is there a way to find my sister? Of course, there is a way to restore her. Only through our decryption service can she be restored. I guarantee with my integrity that I can provide a safe and effective service to find your sister. However, this is not free and cannot be done without a fee...
A brief comment
Although I've read quite a few books, I rarely write book reviews. This is because many books are too formulaic; you can predict the next chapter after reading one. Finding a truly enjoyable novel is incredibly difficult. This book, however, has a very well-written plot. The foreshadowing, the build-up, and the shocking revelation at the end are all excellent. The character portrayals are also very well done, and the writing style is quite good—much better than any of the well-known authors on Qidian. I haven't enjoyed reading a novel this much in a long time. I hope the author's next book will be even better.
This is a rare and excellent book.
Having read many novels, I've noticed that while many begin with unique characteristics, they often become formulaic later on, turning the author's work into the reader's and losing their own soul. This provides readers with greater satisfaction but also diminishes the enjoyment. I only discovered this book after it was finished, and read it in one go. Korein remains the same Korein as at the beginning, and Eunice remains the same Eunice as at the beginning; the characters' fundamental personalities haven't changed, which I think is very well done. The plot is also excellent. There's nothing superfluous throughout, and the theme is very clear: "struggling against adversity and pursuing the truth"...
While organizing my collection, I discovered that my favorite book and my least favorite book are both by the same author... My complex feelings are hard to describe.
After reading this book, I only realized one thing.
Anyone who arbitrarily criticizes and insults others from a God's-eye view is an idiot. When reading a book, don't use your own subjective judgment to analyze it. Don't think you are the protagonist and can do whatever you want. That person in the rant section is sick. They argue where there is something to argue about, and they argue where there is nothing to argue about. Isn't that disgusting? The author may have some poor writing, but do you think it's right for you to call the protagonist stupid for that reason? Can't we provide people with a good reading environment? Stop being disgusting.
November 20th: Some thoughts and questions after reading.
I think this book is excellent. I believe the gender-swap aspect serves as a transition in the early plot, allowing the male and female leads to meet, fall in love, and experience separation and longing (unwilling to part; if separated, they would search for each other). The gender-swap and the demonic sword become their early ties, making them inseparable, which leads to the later plot—the so-called "love grows over time." The setting is necessary and feels acceptable; the main focus is clearly not on the gender-swap itself. The relentless exploration, the mysteries surrounding the male and female leads, and the search for the truth—I feel these are the highlights that make this book soar. Having read many novels, this one does this particularly well. I hope there will be more character development for the female lead, and more nuanced portrayals of the male and female leads...
That troll who bought the whole book and spent the entire time arguing about it was amazing! He not only had perseverance but also money. The most fun part of reading the whole book was probably watching him argue.
I wrote this long review with a feeling of nostalgia.
This book is arguably the only one I've stayed up all night reading since joining this site, and it's also the one I haven't given up on. Of course, I personally prefer darker genres, and the following is purely my personal opinion… In my opinion, while this book differs from other light novels in form and content—perhaps because of its less-than-ideal title…—it's not particularly eye-catching compared to other novels on this site, but it possesses a unique quality that firmly captivates readers. As far as light novels go, this book might not be considered conventional, because the story it depicts is quite different from the typical light novel theme…
