Any Excellent Historical Novels?!
I'm sick of those power-fantasy stories where the protagonist shows off all the time!
Looking for Historical Novels About Someone Who Transmigrates, No System
No System, please. Ideally, the protagonist keeps a low profile and builds up their strength early on.
Desperately Short on Historical Fiction, Please Recommend Some to Save Me From This Reading Drought
Preferably a historical novel with a realistic feel.
Recommend Some Worthwhile Ming Dynasty Novels
I’ve read several books about the Ming Dynasty. Overall, they had excellent prose, deep historical knowledge, and well-crafted characters. But a few seem to share the same flaws: too much exposition and overly contrived schemes. Any good recommendations?

Please Recommend High-Quality Historical or Alternate-History Novels with Highly Intelligent Characters
Anything is fine as long as it isn't brainless and the supporting characters don't suddenly lose all their intelligence.
Historical Stories (Any Dynasty, No System, and with Intelligent Characters)
Looking for books like "The Glory of the Great Wei". Historical novels with some brains behind them. Read too many mindless wish-fulfillment stories and they’ll rot your mind.

Whether old or new, bring them all out, such as Ten-Day System and God of Theater. The ideas should be clear and the logic coherent. No brainless wish-fulfillment stories. Bring them on!

Historical Novels You Absolutely Can't Miss!!!
What? He gets to be a dad after being reborn? A soft, adorable little girl keeps chasing him and calling him Daddy? What? Qin Shi Huang, who's lived for two hundred years, keeps chasing after him, desperate to take him as his apprentice and learn the art of immortality? From the Great Xia Kingdom's top soldier to the Prince of Changyi!
The Ming, Song, and Tang Dynasties
Are there really no stories about the Liao, Jin, Yuan-Mongol, Dali, and Tubo? Is it because there aren't enough sources or historical records? Did we all have different textbooks in our nine years of compulsory education? Do I have to look up local gazetteers?
Looking for High-Quality Ming Dynasty Novels: Mighty Ming
Historical Fiction That Feels Realistic
No System, and nothing about The Legend of Qin. Just straight historical fiction.

Looking for books like A Journey Home: The Road Back to Zhenguan.
Historical Books
Looking for books like "A Compendium of Chinese Emperors".
Any Stories About Poor Scholars Taking the Imperial Exams, Like Rise of the Poor?

Having read many books, I found this one to be particularly well-structured and captivating. I am deeply impressed by the author's knowledge and talent, and I hope more readers will have the opportunity to read it!
This book is a rare gem in recent years!
A truly exceptional book! The author gets more and more into it as they write, and the reader becomes increasingly engrossed! This is exactly what a time-traveler should do and want to do from their perspective! 👍
It's a great read. The author's writing is excellent, the plot is intricate yet stays on track, and the characters' inner thoughts and personalities are well-developed within the historical context. It avoids the bizarre ideas and haphazard designs of some wish-fulfillment authors. Looking forward to the next update!
The beginning was a bit bland, but it got more and more addictive as you read on. I stayed up all night to read it. It's profound, well-written, and the plot is well-paced. The author is probably the first to create such a vivid portrayal of Yang Tinghe. Five stars!
I never expected to find such a good book on Tomato Bookstore. It's not melodramatic, and more importantly, it's thought-provoking. It's a rare find.
The author's writing is really good, and their historical knowledge is profound and solid. Keep it up, Apple! I support you.
This is the most sincere time-travel novel I've ever read. The writing is fluent, the overall perspective is excellent, the story is compelling, the plot is logical and tightly paced, and it offers some philosophical insights. In particular, the characters' actions as time travelers, without feeling resentful, make for a very enjoyable read. 95 Points or higher.
I finished reading it in one day. The first 800 chapters were all very exciting. The battles later on were all overwhelming, after all, the technology was epoch-making. I skipped around in the later chapters. There were also many bad points in the beginning, but if you can accept that, you can continue reading. There are also a lot of exciting moments.
It's brilliantly written, especially the various struggles! Full of wisdom, it's definitely one of Tomato's top novels. Thank you to the author for their hard work!
