Preferably a book rated above 9.
Historical Fiction That Feels Realistic
No System, and nothing about The Legend of Qin. Just straight historical fiction.
Looking for Historical Fiction with No System and No Excessive Invention
*My Grandfather Is Zhu Yuanzhang* is a great example. I like power-struggle stories, and all of Wu Laolang’s books are great, like *Three Kingdoms: A Good Kid*. No womanizers, and don’t give the female lead too much screen time. Absolutely no System stories, no wish-fulfillment stories, and no creator-type stories.
High-IQ Alternate-History Novels
I want something with intelligent characters. No stories that rub my nose in how stupid I am, even if I’m not exactly a genius.

Historical Fiction: No Nonsense Allowed
It doesn’t have to be completely historically accurate, but at least don’t make it ridiculous. I want power struggles and political maneuvering that make sense. People shouldn’t just get confused all the time and believe the protagonist at first sight. The language doesn’t need to be perfectly period-appropriate, but please don’t throw in internet slang and memes at every turn.

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?
High-IQ Historical Alternate-World Novels Without a System, Tang, Song, or Ming Are All Fine
Modern Historical Fiction Has Almost No Gems. Disagree? Come Debate Me
The protagonist should not be sanctimonious, and the novel should not be mindless.

The Southern Song Dynasty had unparalleled brilliance in economy and science and technology, but unfortunately, almost all the enemies it faced externally were powerful enemies. Even under such unfavorable circumstances, it has survived tenaciously for more than 150 years. The history of the Song Dynasty is an unsettling history. This most beautiful dynasty ended in the most tragic way in Yashan.
I think it's very interesting. Besides, I also like the history of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty. I still like the Song Dynasty very much, and I have the author's book. I will insist on reading it. It's very interesting.
It looks pretty good, author, keep up the good work!
So far it's pretty good, but I think the protagonist is an emperor after all, and it would be better if he speaks more politely.
Liu Chen, King of the Northern Territory: He would rather die in battle and lose his country than surrender his country.
This book uses a global historical perspective to imagine how the protagonist rectified the officialdom after the late Song Dynasty, vigorously developed military industry, economy, and agriculture, prepared the army for war, annihilated the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, and actively expanded the territory to make the Song Dynasty a global leader and eliminate the various tragic consequences of fate experienced by later generations of China. It is a fascinating novel. Because it is the first time to write about such a grand subject, there are inevitably some omissions and errors in the conception, but the flaws do not hide the advantages, and it is still of a certain level. Much better than Shuangwen. I hope the author will produce another masterpiece to comfort readers!
The writing is okay. I didn't want to read it because of the low score. I finally checked it out on Shuhuang. It's not bad. I also read it because of the low score. There are a few silly trolls. I'd like to give you a five-star support.
Since I am asked to say something, let me say a few words. Since I am asked to say a few words, then I will say a few words. I have also thought about which words to say. Then I will say these few words. Then I believe that these few words are better than those few words. So today, I will say these few words first.
The writing is okay, and the part about punishing traitors is okay. Another question is that terms like husband and wife appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Why can't people in the Southern Song Dynasty understand it? Another thing is that kneeling down and worshiping was not popular in the Song Dynasty. How to say it? Originally, this book was rated a bit low and I didn't want to read it, but I was curious after reading the beginning. The combat scenes were not lively enough. I hope to write more books in the future. The historical facts are also very good. Your book will be the first novel set in the Song Dynasty that I have read. People in Songcheng read Song Dynasty novels.
The sentences are vivid and interesting, getting better and better as you read them, and they are interspersed with historical knowledge, giving it a sense of reality.
