Complete Fantasy Novels: Classics I Stayed Up All Night Reading
1️⃣ This is my very first book list. Over the past few years, I've been increasingly busy and have found less time to indulge in web novels, but my love for reading has never wavered. Reflecting on this, I’ve decided to share the books that kept me up late during the peak of my web novel obsession. After all, I've read so few books in recent years! During that time, fantasy was a popular genre, often showcasing incredible talent, so this list features those classic completed fantasy novels from back in the day.
2️⃣ My rating criteria are as follows: Three stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - a solid work worth reading in its entirety; Four stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - a great story that makes me want to revisit certain scenes; Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - a masterpiece I find myself wanting to reread over and over again. You might wonder why there aren't one or two-star ratings. Honestly, I haven't read enough books to include them in my list!
