Super Awesome, Top-Notch Reads??
Youthful passion and fiery action, mostly harems, with fantastic writing. Highly recommended!!!
The Leftovers After a Picky Reader's Purge
I'm not picky, and this list covers a pretty wide range, with some mind games, yuri, TS, harem, and overpowered-protagonist stories. The list has a clear personal bias in its choice of genres, but I've done my best to weed out most of the bad stuff and dealbreakers. I've also added my own subjective ratings.
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.

Memoirs
A brief roundup of books that left a strong impression on me. Most are high-quality, completed long novels. A few are probably just personal favorites.
A Personal Reading List from a Veteran Reader (No Gender-Bender Romance)
This list excludes gender-bender-to-male romances, sex changes, and cross-dressing. I don’t include novels that deliberately emphasize a male protagonist’s “feminine beauty,” and I’m not into male-male couples. I can’t accept that kind of novel on a personal level. This list mainly collects novels about adventure, running a business, funny and laid-back daily life, and light harem-style romantic competition. I don’t like novels where the System has too much presence, or ones that abandon logic a
SF Treasure Research Institute
I've picked out the best-written books in each genre from the hundreds I've read since joining the site. There aren't many, but they're the cream of the crop on Bilibili Comics, real hidden gems. There are all kinds of genres, so if you're out of things to read or new to the site, don't miss these! This is the SF Treasure Research Institute. Feel free to subscribe and save the list. (The list is being updated...)
Remembering the Glory Days
I joined the site as a high-school sophomore in 2017. Back then, Mother Complex hadn't been taken down yet, and Taibai was still updating daily, having just written Jing'an's introduction. Mother-focused stories and child-rearing were still the mainstream here. When did things change? The Chinese web novels I used to recommend to friends as far better than Japanese light novels have become what they are now, and my favorites and reading history have turned into a funeral home. Every time I see a
A Bookworm's Awesome Reading List
Excellent works with great writing and plots. These are the best books I've found over the years, so good you won't care what genre they are. (Most books these days are hard to describe. There are so many generic, paint-by-numbers stories that finding a good one feels like panning for gold in the sand.)
Classic Works from Bilibili Comics
For anime-style web novels, getting the right elements and tags is often enough to achieve decent results, but there are still classic works that don't follow the usual formulas. If you're tired of the same old pileup of 'moe elements,' why not give these excellent works a try? They're worth rereading and savoring. I've reread all the recommendations and believe they're worth revisiting. I'll update the list when I have time.
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.)
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...) (≧∇≦)/

A Dozen or So High-Quality Novels You Deserve to Read ?)?*
There are lots of great older books on Boluobao, as well as works by hidden-gem authors who rarely update, that are hard to get recommended. Newcomers to Boluobao might never find these gems unless they search carefully. This list brings together some of the high-quality works I’ve found since joining Boluobao. It may be a bit eclectic, but every book here is worth getting into.

Nostalgic Picks: Novels I Read Early on in Pineapple Bun
These are some good novels I've read on Bilibili over the past few years. Sadly, a few were discontinued (sigh), but I still think they're worth reading, so I'm putting them here and shamelessly recommending them. I hope you enjoy them. This list is mostly for nostalgia, but please let me start with a few recent novels I've enjoyed. The following titles are in no particular order and reflect only my personal opinion. (Updated whenever I feel like it.)
Hidden-Gem Authors
Common features: complete settings, a dramatic plot, intelligent characters, sound logic, and authors who take their work extremely seriously. Martial Arts Retreat: The best wuxia light novel, bar none. The author is learning to handle different writing styles, so the prose is inconsistent, but the writing is excellent. It's a slow burn; the jianghu only really opens up in Volume 6. It depicts a complex world where everyone, from the martial arts supreme to ordinary people, has their own way of
Ancient-Style Fantasy: The Male Lead Is Invincible from the Start, and Keeps Showing Off After Retiring
This time, I'm introducing some fast-paced, thoroughly satisfying ancient-style fantasy novels about invincible protagonists. What should you do once you're invincible? Keep a low profile while secretly showing off and leaving your fame behind, train the female disciple you adore, or seek out romance in an even higher realm? These stories are packed with clever ways for the hero to show off, and the thrills are off the charts. Perfect for anyone who loves classic invincible-protagonist stories!

Some feelings and complaints
It took me nearly two months to finish reading it, and I've wasted quite a bit of money. I'll reread it when I have more money. My most profound impression is that I've never seen a novel where the real-world time span is so much longer than the plot's timeline. Taibai started writing around 2016, so it's early 2024 now, almost eight years. Yet, Feizhen has only been with the Six Doors for a year. In other novels, with seven million words, the protagonist would probably be happily married with kids by now, but that hasn't happened in this book, even though Taibai himself has (by the way, does Taibai have a child yet?). It's quite remarkable. Of course, this doesn't...
I'm speechless that they changed the voice actress for the female lead in this novel.
I was planning to listen to a whole chapter today, but when I clicked in, I discovered that Jingluo Shenghua Studio had actually changed Shen Yiren's voice actress!!! The new voice actress is really terrible; she turned Jing'an into a tomboy, can you believe it? I doubt this new voice actress has even read the novel. You can listen to Chapter 5 of Volume 18, "On Jing'an's Countless Nicknames," it makes me want to kill someone. She completely failed to capture Jing'an's liveliness and mischievousness; she sounded like Li Kui, the Black Whirlwind, who slaughters pigs at the market next door. I can only say that without comparison, there's no harm done; the previous actress's voice was so good. Finally, I want to say...
This book has been with me for twenty years. I read it when I was in junior high school, and now I've been out of college for a year and I still haven't finished it.

Bro, please give me just one more chapter, I can't take it anymore, please, bro 😭😭😭 I feel like ants are crawling all over me, I feel like my whole body is shaking, I can't breathe, please, bro 😭😭😭 Just one more chapter, just one more, I promise I'll never touch this again, please, bro, really, just one chapter, I swear I'll never touch this stuff again, I just can't take it anymore 😭😭😭
I haven't watched it for six years, did Little Aunt win?
Holy crap, I started reading this in 2018, and it's still not finished? Seven years! Did Little Aunt and Fei Zhen end up together?
