Vintage Bookworm's Hidden Gems! (Cultivation, Historical, Urban, Anime, Sports, etc.)
Over the past fifteen years of my reading journey, I’ve explored a variety of genres including Xianxia, sci-fi, urban fantasy, historical fiction, alternate history, fantasy, martial arts, sports competition, and light novels. Here’s what you can expect from my recommended reading list:
1. Unique and imaginative concepts
2. Hidden gems within lesser-known themes
3. Essential reads to get you through book droughts
My preferences lean towards:
1. Plot-driven narratives with solid research and reasonable storytelling, where the main character is intelligent.
2. Authors who use straightforward and precise language without unnecessary fluff or ornate writing.
I started reading web novels in the early 2000s, and you're welcome to scroll through my list to find great books. All the titles included are ones I’ve personally read, and naturally, I have my biases. If something doesn't suit your taste, feel free to move on. The list is updated irregularly based on my reading pace, and there may be long gaps if I'm tackling lengthy series. Happy reading!
