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 Recommendations
Here are some books I've read that left a strong impression. The genres are all over the place, but most have great plots and well-developed characters. I've tried to include no more than one book by each author.
Pineapple Bun Really Was Different Back Then!
I've been reading Pinecone for eight years, and it's changed a lot. So I want to recommend some novels that I personally found incredible back in the day. I'll start with a few, and if people like them, I'll recommend more. Hope you enjoy them (。・ω・。)ノ♡ P.S. The list order seems to be reversed. The further down you go, the more incredible the books are!
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.
Welcome to 2018
This list features a selection of classic works worth recommending. I hope they'll take readers back to the early days of Boluobao and let them experience the flourishing variety of that era. (My reading experience is inevitably limited, so if I've missed any masterpieces, feel free to message me and I'll add them.)

Chen Yiji
The layout of Mr. Chen Lehan's fan club was different from others: a large, L-shaped counter facing the street, with hot water prepared inside to warm up the protagonist's halo at any time. Players would finish their work around noon or evening, and each time they recited a classic line, they would exchange for a new protagonist's halo—this was over twenty years ago; now it costs two lines per session—standing outside the counter, drinking the hot water and resting. If they were willing to spend an extra line, they could buy a dish of salted bamboo shoots or fennel beans as a snack with their drinks. If they recited a dozen lines, they could buy a meat dish. But these customers were mostly ordinary players, generally not that wealthy. Only those with special weapons would stroll around...
At first, I refused.
I was initially hesitant to read this book, since I'd always read Japanese light novels before. I only started reading SF because it helped me find the recommended titles that I'd originally planned to finish, but they all seemed pretty much the same. Then, by chance, out of boredom, I clicked on this little book… wow, this style is different from what I've read before! The setting is great! The writing style is fantastic! The content is very rich! And so on… So I got hooked. Initially, I was hesitant to read it, thinking it was only because I rarely read this type of novel that I found it interesting…
Fresh and refined
A breath of fresh air in the SF (private domain) novel scene. Most SF novels these days are about older brothers, younger sisters, parents, classmates, and beautiful girls falling in love with me—I don't know who to choose! I'm getting tired of it. I hope more novels with fresh and interesting content will appear. It feels like the protagonist's role in this novel isn't as prominent as in other novels, where it's almost 100%. This one is probably around 90%? I hope the author updates soon (and why is there a 140-character requirement? What can I do? I'm desperate too)...
A series that knows more than the author
I think this novel is quite good. Although I noticed from the earlier comments that many people didn't seem to like it, I guess everyone has different interests. After reading further, I felt it wasn't a typical "overpowered protagonist" novel; the main character isn't particularly strong, and the term "protagonists" might not be entirely accurate. But the author probably intended to write about the travelogues of transmigrators in other worlds. I don't really feel it's similar to *Dragon Raja*. I've read *Dragon Raja*, although I haven't read the fourth book. But comparatively, I don't think it's that much like *Dragon Raja*. Even if there are similarities, it just means the author has read *Dragon Raja* and was deeply impressed, so why pick on that point...?
Dedicated to bookworms suffering from a reading slump
I've been reading this book for quite a while now, and suddenly realized I haven't written a review yet. So, I'm taking advantage of some free time today to write one, as a small contribution to the author's 1500 favorites. This book is suitable for: seasoned bookworms who are tired of the mainstream novels on SF (a Chinese online literature platform). I probably don't need to say much about the mainstream SF novels; they generally revolve around invincible protagonists, harems, and cross-dressing characters, oh, and maybe also younger sisters and yandere characters. I don't have any prejudice against these novels; the excellent ones are indeed fantastic, balancing plot and characters, allowing readers to develop a liking for a character while also having a sufficiently engaging storyline. These kinds of works don't need my recommendation; they'll naturally have their own...
After being tormented to the point of ecstasy by gender swaps and girls in SF...
At first, I was just tired of reading the same genre. Then I suddenly discovered a book that wasn't typical of casual fiction. Holy crap, a million words and dismal readership. I read a few chapters, and wow, it's a masterpiece! I finished it overnight. Honestly, while the author's writing isn't bad, the story's background felt a bit vague because there are so many characters [outside the main group], and they're all quite important; it got a little confusing towards the end. Personally, I feel this book doesn't quite fit the mainstream of casual fiction; it's a bit niche. If the author restructured the story and put it elsewhere, it might become a masterpiece.
A very good novel
Overall, the author's writing is quite good, both in terms of style and world-building. I've been reading Game of Thrones recently, and you'll find many similarities. Everyone has their own cherished ideals and beliefs. Everyone fights for their glory and convictions. Moreover, this isn't a protagonist-centric novel. Chen Hanle merely serves as a narrator, contributing to the development of the plot. I once asked the author if he could interfere with the characters' paths or bring a character to life. He definitely said no, because each character's development depends on their own personality. Perhaps Chen Hanle thinks this way...
Personal opinion
The plot is fast-paced and engaging, the characters are vividly portrayed, and while there are many foreshadowing elements, they are all resolved (emphasis added). The world-building is strong. It's undeniably a very good novel! After reading many mainstream novels, this book might open up a new world for you. The impotence and indecisiveness of the male protagonists found in mainstream novels are absent in this book, which was truly satisfying (touch). He clearly knows what he wants and what he wants to protect. Although it's an ensemble piece, the character development is excellent, using a single wish (One Piece!) As a catalyst to gradually delve deeper into the plot. Each character in the story...
Sorry for the long delay. Various personal reasons caused a significant setback, and I also plan to discontinue using this account for various reasons. I'm very sorry!!! But I will continue writing the book, and this time I promise I won't abandon it!! Really, really. My new pen name is—Moyu Taozi (摸鱼桃子). If you're looking for something similar in style, you can check it out.
Honestly, it's simply illogical that this novel isn't popular, it's just too illogical.
