Any Traditional Stories About a Protagonist Leading a Rebellion to Conquer the World?
My favorite thing about novels where the protagonist becomes emperor is the emperor wielding absolute power: all under heaven belongs to the emperor, and everyone within its borders is his subject. I want a novel set in a traditional feudal dynasty. I really hate stories where the emperor also tries to introduce democracy or constitutional monarchy. Recommendations, please!

Looking for a Cool Fictional Historical Novel About the Protagonist's Time Travel
Ideally, something like *The Carefree Little Scholar* or *The Best House Husband*. The protagonist brings modern knowledge to the past and plays the pig to eat the tiger. He just wants to take it easy and coast through life, but the times won't let him.
High-Quality Alternate-History Fiction
Court politics, the martial world, wuxia, political intrigue, romance...
Alternate-History Rebellions and Uprisings!
I want books similar to Transmigrating into the Tyrannical Qin Dynasty: Chen Sheng Takes Me to Join the Rebellion. Historical transmigration, changing history, with or without a System, political maneuvering, and conquering cities and territories.
Please Recommend High-Quality Historical Novels, Preferably About Emperors, Princes, or Imperial Grandsons
Please stop recommending mindless System novels or stories about princes and grandsons of the emperor who were raised among commoners. Those plots are just ridiculous.

The writing of this book is okay. I have gradually strengthened my strength. I see that there are not many flaws now. The reason why the rating is not high is that too few people have read it. The writing was exciting when I was conquering the world. I will give it 5 stars.
This book is addictive to read. It not only satisfies the need to build walls and accumulate food and compete for hegemony, but it also has delicate and rich emotional descriptions. It was so fun to watch. The author is so knowledgeable. The characters are very fleshed out. The relationship and farming arrangements are very suitable. Support the author, like it.
It's very beautiful. I hope the author doesn't want to be a "eunuch". The excitement will continue.
Not bad, the score is a bit low. Five stars.
The protagonist is still short of a cement castle, and the general wears armor and weapons such as the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, Fang Tianhua Halberd, or the Futu Axe, and the two-handed giant sword.
The opening is very solid and humane. Good luck to the author!
I hope it will continue to be updated, how about the founding of the country as Qi [smile][smile][smile]
No matter what the plot will be in the future, I will give you five stars here. [Hearing the screams of several of his men, the muscles on Hou Rui's face trembled, and he shouted loudly: "If you are heroes, just fight with me alone. What's the point of sneaking and harming others? This is what rats do. I look down on - uh -" Before he finished speaking, a sharp arrow pierced his chest. Hou Rui coughed, slowly vomited blood from his mouth, and fell to the ground with his head in the air, his eyes showing resentment and unwillingness...]
It is a good work. From farming to developing power, it gradually grows. The unfolding of the storyline makes people want to stop. The psychological description of the relationship between the characters is the highlight.
The characterization is more realistic and delicate, especially the description of women, and the description of some details also reflects the author's relatively high control over history and culture.
