Looking for a Highly Re-readable Novel That Doesn't Make Things Up As It Goes
Historical Fiction Set in an Imaginary Ancient World, No System
No System, no System, no System. Thanks, everyone.
In a Reading Slump: Looking for a Truly Fresh and Exciting Read
Everyone can recommend just one personal top pick. Please don't suggest books with inflated ratings. I've read most of the famous ones, so I'm looking for something fresh.
The Best Historical Novel on Fanqie Right Now. Prove Me Wrong
I want books similar to The Matter of the Southern Dynasty's Noble Son Actually Being Someone I Impersonated.
Looking for High-Quality Clan Cultivation Novels
Family clans.
Wuxia, the Imperial Court, and the Jianghu. Get It?
Martial arts and the jianghu.
A Picture-Perfect Realm, with Countless Beauties Through the Ages
If It Is Lower Than 9.8, Please Do Not Recommend ヽ(≧д≦)ノ
Nothing lighthearted or comedic, please〜(￣▽￣〜)
I Have Eight Divine Books to Share with Fellow Daoists
Looking for High-Quality Historical Alternate Universe Stories with Wars, Rebellion, and Bringing Order to a Chaotic Era
The protagonist earns merit on the frontier and rises through the ranks step by step. He fights the northern nomadic tribes, then when the realm falls into chaos, he restores order.
Wuxia, Imperial Court, Jianghu, System
The protagonist trains in the Golden Bell Shield from the very beginning and masters it completely.
Ancient-Era Farming Stories About Buying Servants and Building a Cozy, Comfortable Life
Any genre is fine. I just want a story where the protagonist can build houses, buy land, and hire servants in ancient times, then live a happy, cozy life as a little landlord. I especially love when they hire servants who feel they've found a wonderful master! Fellow readers, please send me recommendations.
Any Ancient-Era Landlord Novels With a Transmigrator and a System?
Any historical setting is fine, from the Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties to the Republican era.
Looking for Stories About Ordinary People, Street Life, and Rural Life in Ancient Times
No harems or inner-court stories with emperors, princes, princess consorts, or the like later on. I just want stories about ordinary little people.
Ancient Political Intrigue and the Imperial Examinations, Please Recommend a Few!
Systems and transmigration are fine, but it has to be a classic that’s been building up for a long time, with over a million words!
Ancient Setting, Imperial Exams, Not from a Poor Family, No System, Transmigration
The protagonist should have sound values, pass the imperial examinations, and devote himself to serving the people. He should be decisive while still considering the greater good. One female lead only. He should take revenge without harming the innocent. When discussing poetry, he shouldn’t come across as pretentious. Success should be hard-won: others shouldn’t be crushed by a cheat just because they’ve studied for ten years. The story should explore big ideas.
Laid-Back Farming, Nothing Complicated or Chaotic
Male-Oriented Farming Novels Set in Ancient Times
Looking for ancient-era farming novels, aimed at male readers, featuring a PhD in agricultural science.
From the Start, the Imperial Court Assigns the Male Lead a Wife, and He Has a System and Modern Supplies
The male lead should have a System or a personal space with unlimited modern supplies. I don't want one of those stories where he's constantly building a business. Do male-oriented novels have to be all about career-building?
Male Protagonist, Transmigrate, Historical, Starting from Scratch, Farming and Business Novels
Preferably a longer book that's already complete.
Male Lead Transmigrates, Flees Famine, Has a Pocket Dimension, and Takes Up Farming
The male lead's family escapes a famine while farming in their space and developing their lives.
Extreme Reading Slump. Don’t Bother Unless You’ve Read for 3,000 Hours.
Looking for Male-Oriented Stories Where the Protagonist Transmigrates to Ancient Rural China as a Child
Transmigrating into the Family of a Landowner, a Small Household, or a Minor Official
I want to read something like *The Transmigrated Female Clerk Becomes a Prison Guard*. I don't want a heroine who starts out with absolutely nothing. I'd prefer her to have a little family wealth, and ideally for it to be a food-focused story.

To be honest, this book is a bit historical. From our current perspective, this is too cruel and bloody. But in ancient China, history was originally an era of human cannibalism.
The audience of this book should not be all old people. You can add some fun points and conflicts as appropriate, because younger readers generally don't like chapters like Machiavellianism. If you can combine the power strategies and fun points, the author will definitely become a god.
The story is told well, but the word count is too few. The story written in the background of a farming family is indeed somewhat attractive and relatively close to reality, which is indeed good.
It's a good book. The author has done a lot of research on the ancient local government affairs. The writing is not bad. Please support me. But I will withdraw it first. It's not because it's not good, it's just that I don't like it. But the book is still good.
It's very well written. I've seen it on the list several times before but never clicked on it. Maybe it's because I'm uneducated. When I first read the title, I didn't know what the profession was, but today I clicked on it and read about ten chapters. It's really good, and the writing is very good.
Very nice, I don't know why the rating is not high [rolls eyes]
It's very good. The subject matter is novel. It's not a fast-food novel. It doesn't have the latter's plot of being invincible in ancient times. It's not the Holy Mother. The plot is rationalized. Come on, I hope that the old routines of the past will not be used.
The stories come one after another, and I don't know where the author got his ideas. The pace is fast and it's very enjoyable to read. When I read the article, I felt that he was a bit complicit. It was either the "protagonist can be bad, but the protagonist can only pretend to be bad, and it is for some righteous cause. He is an undercover agent." Everyone in the article is a product of the times. The character description is very profound. The ending is often unexpected. It is usually unexpected. Only later will you sigh along the way, "This is human nature." This article writes about the "negative" aspects of human nature, but this is a small character and has a strong sense of empathy. I haven't finished reading it, because I'm afraid the author will change his identity and the story will collapse. I've finished reading. Tomato rarely finishes reading. I watched this for a while and didn't want to watch it, but I picked it up again after a while. The kind that you watch again and again and then give up, but finally finish it It writes about human nature and opponents, and the analysis is very good. After reading it, I feel that life is hopeless. At many turning points, I will think "what should I do, what should I do if I encounter this kind of thing", and the solutions are all unexpected.
The writing is wonderful. The ancient society described is very consistent with the feudal society of eating human blood steamed buns.
It's interesting, there are microscopic true portrayals of cruel officials deceiving and exploiting the common people in the Ming Dynasty, there are anecdotes about rivers and lakes in Tang Dynasty legends, Golden Lotus, Sichun, etc. Are paying homage to the four great classics... Including the survival rules of the lower-level bureaucrats and ordinary people, anecdotes about rivers and lakes, fantasy knights, and unconventional novels. I will keep up with them. The author always uses Mr. Lin's behavior to remind and expressly remind readers that they should reward generously! Ha ha ha ha
