Looking for Historical Fiction, Nothing Stupid
Grand Prose, Never Gets Old: A Veteran Reader's Booklist
Nobody who clicks in will be disappointed. Leave your reading lists here so we can recommend our favorites to each other.
Historical Fiction! The Characters Must Have Brains!!
Are there stories where a modern person transmigrates back to ancient times and uses their profession to make a difference? Like a doctor who transmigrates to the past and advances medicine within the limits of the era, or a modern special forces expert who transmigrates to ancient times and builds an army using modern ideas. Or just invent penicillin or something. From the start, they pull out an AK-47.
The Male Lead Is the Emperor’s Brother, and They’re Very Close
Are There Any Historical Novels That Don't Vilify Historical Figures?
Think about it: how could anyone who made a name for themselves in the history books be a pushover, easily manipulated by just any modern person who traveled back in time? Even in fiction, are there any historical novels that are at least a little realistic and make some sense?
This Is More of a Discussion Thread: The Highest-Quality Historical Novels Are on Tomato Novel
I've been using Tomato for a while. It's a hub for lightweight novels to pass the time, and quality gems are rare. Overall, historical fiction has the highest average quality. Plenty of books have flaws, but you can tell the authors put in real effort. Most of the books I've finished have been historical fiction.
Finished Masterpieces Rated 9.0 or Higher

I'm Out of Books to Read: Any Transmigration Novels on the Level of Iron-Blooded Remnants?
Looking for books similar to Ironblooded Remnants of the Ming. I've already read Late Ming. I want a protagonist who's just an ordinary person and can die, not someone who transmigrates and suddenly becomes super strong, gets senses better than Spider-Man, and has a System. And not someone who gets rich through a few clever tricks, either. Please recommend some.

Very good novel. The power struggle of the Jiajing Dynasty is explained very thoroughly. The characters are not stereotyped, each has its own characteristics, is realistic and consistent with human nature, and there are no absolute good guys or bad guys. The quality is very high, but it's too short, but I understand that slow work will lead to careful work.
The level of military and political talents left by Jiajing is very high. It can be said that they are the best after Hongwu and Yongle, and even comparable to Qi Long, Yu Hu, Zhang Juzheng, and Hai Rui. It is a pity that the party and government behind Hu Zongxian killed him.
The writing is very good, the ideas are clear and close to historical facts, and the characters are very real. Five-star praise. However, the writing and the spoken language of the characters are too professional, and there are even many classical Chinese texts. It seems too difficult and a bit pretentious. It is not popular enough in the Tomato community to meet the reading needs of the public. This is very unfriendly to people who want to learn about the old events of Jiajing through this book. Summary: The story is very good, but the threshold is too high. I hope the author can use simpler and plainer language in the subsequent text, use the classical Chinese part as expanded content, balance the storytelling and popular science professionalism, and bring us more exciting stories.
The writing is very good and honest. It has been rated so low by random, but it can still update three times a day. It is really awesome. I want to be a writer like you.
I like the style of this book. I am also a history lover. Having historical materials is the guarantee of the quality of time travel stories, because history is the best screenwriter and historical figures are the most fulfilling characters. Are there any similar novels? This one should be maintained.
One of the great things about the author's writing of this book is that the protagonist of a time-travel novel has to deal with things that have not happened in history, while maintaining a certain degree of rationality, conforming to the different characteristics of various historical figures, and showing political battles and compromises. The author has really nailed this aspect. There are also shortcomings, that is, the storyline in the first few hundred chapters before going to Nanjing is really torturous for readers, and it is easy to abandon the book. But I can also understand the author. After all, the actual situation of the protagonist in history is indeed very dull. However, the author wants to pave the way for the following plot and does not want to portray Jiajing as a big fool. This is also embarrassing for the author. In fact, some places can still be fast forwarded.
This is definitely a good book. It needs to be read patiently and slowly. There are no boring conspiracy theories, but an in-depth analysis of the central areas of the Ming Dynasty, civil servants, military attachés, eunuchs, gentry, emperors, common people, merchants and other forces. There is no boring conspiracy villain, but a very real analysis. It is really a good book. I highly recommend reading it 👍 👍 👍
The author's level of classical writing is quite high, especially his writing style is very good. Five stars from me. I don't know why the rating is so low. Does everyone like Qin Ritian?
I would like to call this book a textbook on party struggle and a practical manual on party struggle. I am a big fan and have read almost all the novels on the Internet about time travel and saving the Ming Dynasty. This one is in the top 3 in my opinion. Teach you step by step how to fight in the party, it is worth reading carefully
Currently reading Chapter 135! Needless to say, the writing style is as high as two or three stories high! In addition, the historical data is really sufficient! Even the ocean bowl can't fit in it. The eight generations of ancestors of emperors and nobles, officials, eunuchs, (ordinary figures) origins (taught in the same year) and resumes over the years are all involved! Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all included! ... I guess I have only mentioned a small part here, but in short, I admire the author so much... 👍 When reading this book, you need to be patient and not impatient, and you also need to hope that you don't overwhelm the focus and ruin the plot of the story!
