In a Terrible Reading Slump: I Drop 9.8-Rated Books After Ten Chapters and 9.7-Rated Ones After Five
I'm so out of books to read, but I'm incredibly picky. For "Ten Thousand People Are Browsing", I made it only thirty chapters before dropping it. I used to read "Dragon King" past chapter 400, but now I dropped "Slay the Gods" after just twenty chapters.

I want high-quality historical fiction that’s engaging and doesn’t dumb things down or rely on brainless plots. It can be satisfying, but don’t treat readers like idiots.

They’re unoriginal and mindless...

This is a pretty good time-travel novel, so why are so few people reading it? And the rating is a bit low, isn't it? I really admire the author; the writing style is excellent, and it's quite roguish! It doesn't have a generic, overused system, which is commendable!
The plot of this book is well-structured, avoiding the omnipotent protagonist typical of time-travel novels. Shen Yi is a more well-developed character, capable of accomplishing tasks beyond his control, unlike some time-travel characters who are practically gods. However, the geographical locations of the various countries depicted in the story are not entirely accurate to real-world settings.
The main character is distinctive, intelligent, decisive, and ruthless; the plot is full of twists and turns, with a grand scope and clear layers; it's exhilarating!
I like books like this one. It's not a mindless system novel; the plot is logical, the characters are intelligent, and the protagonist isn't a saint or heartless. I enjoy harem novels and dislike mindless harems without any romance.
Yes, this is the best time-travel novel I've read recently, bar none.
Excellent writing, logical flow, and good plot transitions. Keep it up!
This is the first book I finished reading on Tomato. I've been reading novels for over 10 years, and I've only finished fewer than 10. I've only read a few of this type of novel before, like "The Ultimate Housekeeper" and "Confucianism," but I didn't finish them (too much rambling). After that, I never read this type of novel again. This one is pretty good; 2 million words is just right for me, not too much, not too little. It's worth reading.
This is really well written. I haven't seen a novel like this in ages. Nowadays, novels are all about starting with a system or something, what's the point? I really miss this kind of thing.
This is fantastic! It's the story of a male protagonist who transmigrates to ancient times and rises from a spoiled brat to become a king. The humorous and witty writing style is refreshing; it's rare to find such a well-written story. The male protagonist is incredibly lucky with women, marrying several stunningly beautiful wives, comparable to Wei Xiaobao.
It's pretty good and quite enjoyable to watch. What I hate most is this "invincible system" nonsense. There's no need for all that fancy stuff.
