Recommended Novellas and Short Stories
Hmm... What should I say? This list is a collection of short and medium-length novels that I, Mou Qiu, personally think are pretty good. [This list will be updated from time to time. Updates are up to fate, so don't ask~] (I can't write recommendations, so please just take a look.)
An Absolutely Top-Tier Reading List
No padding. I only include books I think are enjoyable. I read pretty broadly, but mostly gender-bender romance and GL. Absolutely no forced harem stories. I'll tag every book. Ongoing list. There are so few books on BLB that grab you at a glance these days. 🥲🥲
Quality Novels You Can Only Find on Other People's Bookshelves
I'm an omnivorous reader, but I don't do NTR. Every book on this list is complete, and they're all quality novels I've read several times, in my opinion.
Niche but Excellent Novellas and Short Stories~
Compared with long novels, medium-length and short stories get less attention, leaving many excellent works tucked away in a corner. I've collected some lesser-known but excellent novellas and short stories to give them more exposure. Great works deserve to be seen by more readers.

Free Novels, Lots of Gems!
Free novels. The last nine are long-form stories. As everyone knows, free novels on Boba Bun are like hidden masters: they may not even be listed on the platform, but they're actually incredibly powerful. Some books were added before I'd read them. I'll gradually fill in my reviews as I read them. Some wouldn't fit elsewhere, so I'm listing them here: A Breeze Through the Realm The Magic Era: Apocalypse Ahter Raymond Gailton How Could This Be Poetry Appreciation?

[Personal Picks] Rare Gems (Mostly Female-Led)
Updated whenever I feel like it. 2023.9 Introduction: I come to SF to read stories with female protagonists (1: I'm tired of male-protagonist stories; 2: If I wanted to read those, why would I come to SF? Of course, there are exceptions for truly outstanding ones). But I don't like yuri unless the writing is exceptionally good, so many of these are gender-swap marriage stories. #The main text begins here I've been reading novels for many years. I was bored, so I made this list to collect the g
Stories Worth Reading, In My Opinion
Disclaimer: No harem stories and no NTR. The works on this list mostly reflect my personal opinions. They may represent some readers who've read these books, but they won't suit everyone's tastes. The ratings go from low to high, top to bottom. I'll update the list when I find good books! ( '▿ ' ) Last updated: June 11
If It's Good, That's All That Matters.
Mostly GL and SFL stories. How will you know if they're your thing unless you give them a try? (The list is full. I occasionally swap out recommendations, so feel free to browse my bookshelf.)

The Twilight of the Pure-Love Warrior
Traditional 1v1 boy-girl pure romance, guaranteed completed. I've read every book in full before adding it, and each one has earned a quality rating of at least 8.5. Note: This list excludes popular tropes like gender transformation, yuri, gender-swap marriage, love triangles, love rivals, and harems (stacking buffs in reverse). There may be angst, but no poison; there is plot, but no padding with daily-life scenes; no highly controversial plot points; and, most importantly, the stories finish p
Completed Novellas and Short Stories: Healing or Heartbreaking
Completed novellas and short stories, all romance. I'll try not to spoil anything in the recommendations. (Some sweet, some heartbreaking.) (Some of these are books I read a while ago, and writing a recommendation means I'd have to reread them. I hardly read Bilibili Comics these days, so I'll only be adding to this list now and then. There are still a dozen or so I haven't read.)
Great Underrated Reads (Luo Li's Little Abode)
All kinds of niche books, both short and long. They're all gems, so if you're out of things to read, come find Luoli! Recommendations rated S>A>B.

My thoughts after listening to "The Rain She Heard, the Rain I Watched"
The place you can't return to is called your hometown; for me, the place I can't return to is my hometown. This is an excellent short story. Throughout, it uses the imagery of listening to rain to interpret Qiu Mila's understanding of the emotion of obsession. It shares this with us, a film and television prodigy student who only possesses technical skills but lacks a soul, through the story of a blind girl on her deathbed who yearns to hear the sound of rain from her hometown one last time. The story teaches us about obsession. The novel's structure is clear and well-developed, with excellent writing and a smooth reading experience. The pacing is superb, with no abrupt plot developments. After careful reading, I also found many delicate and exquisite details...
Rain that has lost its most minute soul
Because I have work tomorrow, I apologize for not being able to read this book carefully enough to appreciate the emotions and mindset the author poured into it. Well… I'll make up for it tomorrow. I'm not a professional book reviewer, so my writing might be a bit rough; please forgive me. …As a novice author who writes out of interest, I have to work and don't have much time to read. Perhaps it was just a coincidence that I stumbled upon this article. First, the point that caught my attention is the writing style. A thousand people will have a thousand Hamlets; personally, I believe that 'writing style' isn't simply a lifeless quality, but rather a lively thought process invested in the writing process. To put it another way…
Reflections from the Judges of the 5th SF Essay Contest (Short Story Category)
Reviewer 1: A very sad and deeply moving work. The gentle emotions conveyed through the writing soothe the soul, making it irresistibly appealing. The story's integrity is undeniable, and the character portrayals are also touching. The writing is very delicate, and the emotional expression is excellent; it's a truly outstanding work. Reviewer 2: The writing is good and quite fluent. Some parts are quite moving. The plot has a basic thread, and the final part has a powerful twist, but the first and middle parts are rather lukewarm, lacking strong conflict and making it difficult to read. The foreshadowing is also not very effective. Some characters are superficially...
Listen attentively, listen attentively, and don't let the rain down.
This is the first book I read on SF, and also the first review I wrote on SF. I've already read it three times and I really like it. The author's writing style is superb, exuding an artistic atmosphere between the lines. As the afterword says, this is a novel that feels like a movie. The most memorable part is Rainbow Rain, when Wu Xuan first goes to see Cheng Qianqian. Upon reaching the 20th floor, the elevator doors open, and just as Wu Xuan's figure is revealed, the screen goes black, or turns into a ball of white thread with the words "—A young girl in her prime" written on it. Similarly, the later sentences about the only daughter of a large corporation and the young girl with a short lifespan are presented in the same way. It's like a movie narrative...
The continuation of obsession
The mutual acquaintance, recognition, and love between the boy and girl was not an accident, but a beautifully interwoven destiny. If it weren't for the boy's award-winning video, there would have been no opportunity for him to meet the girl, and the film crew would never have gone to that remote mountain village to shoot scenes. The boy's life was arranged by others, yet he still had a long future ahead of him, but he lacked his own convictions. The girl's life was arranged by fate, and she had no future, but she possessed an unyielding conviction. In the final, seemingly illusory rain, the girl entrusted her conviction to the boy. Even though she knew the rain was fake, she still took it as the end of her conviction, but...
Lin Si rewarded the author with a "Little Lolita Heart" gift worth 100,000 Fire Coins.
It's a really good story...
This is a very good literary work. To be honest, I'm a terrible writer, and my Chinese is terrible, but I can tell it's a beautiful story with a sad yet beautiful ending. A rain, a boy and a girl, a story. A friend recommended this book to me, saying it was a very nice story and strongly urged me to read it. Here are my thoughts (please forgive me if they're not very good; I won't go into the foreshadowing). The nine titles summarize the content. The beginning mentions rain, and the ending echoes the beginning… (I won't go into details QAQ…) The boy and girl in the story both possess a kind of…
Many years later, it still touches my heart just as it does today.
What a wonderful story!!! I loved it; I probably would have cried if I hadn't been taking online classes while reading it.
