Meticulously Researched Historical Fiction
A twisting, suspenseful plot, a protagonist who's not an idiot, and something I can learn from while reading. Ideally, it should be close to real history.
Any Excellent Historical Novels?!
I'm sick of those power-fantasy stories where the protagonist shows off all the time!
Historical Fiction That Doesn't Dumb Down the Characters
I want a protagonist with brains
Looking for Superbly Written Historical Novels!
I've read The Chief Ministers, A Scholar of Superior Character, A First-Rank Official, A Generation's Military Advisor, The Son-in-Law, The Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains, The Unification of the Mountains and Rivers, I Picked Up Qin Shi Huang, The End of Song, New Song, and Joy of Life. Are there any similar novels with a highly intelligent protagonist who plans everything in advance?
For Fans of Late Ming Historical Military Fiction: The Best of the Best
Looking for books like I Passed Myself Off as Chongzhen's Son, Cut Through the Qing Army, and Revived the Ming. The battle scenes feel realistic, the characters fit their historical counterparts, and the payoff is well paced. The protagonist struggles to survive against the odds and plans carefully at every step. No massive tech-tree development and no golden finger.
Historical Stories (Any Dynasty, No System, and with Intelligent Characters)
Looking for books like "The Glory of the Great Wei". Historical novels with some brains behind them. Read too many mindless wish-fulfillment stories and they’ll rot your mind.
Looking for Great Historical Novels Worthy of Classic Status
Looking for Historical Novels. I Prefer Stories with a Strong Historical Focus
Looking for books like "I Possessed Someone in the Spring and Autumn Period and Became a Lord (A Little Lord of the Spring and Autumn Period)". Does anyone know any realistic novels like "Life in the Middle Ages", "A Little Lord of the Spring and Autumn Period", and "Anxi Army Diary", with a focus on history, politics, economics, war, and farming?
Recommend Books with Principled Protagonists. A Little Too Compassionate Is Fine
Modern novels always go out of their way to avoid making the protagonist a saint, preferring to portray them as petty or villainous. I want to read about a protagonist who is chivalrous and courageous, clearly distinguishes good from evil, understands right from wrong, and helps others within their means.
Looking for Stories About Realistic Peasant Uprisings
The male protagonist isn't an arrogant, overpowered hero. He has sound values and good character, isn't invincible, and wins some battles and loses others. He never becomes corrupt or loses his way. An unyielding will, the courage to fight for the people even at the cost of being shattered, and a faith that comes from the heart: can people like that still exist in this world?
Any Books with Heavy Cavalry Charges? Pure Cold-War Weapons Only
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.

The author, Jiu Tu, is a veteran writer, but his books have one characteristic: in order to stay true to history, he consistently suppresses the protagonist. Early readers could tolerate this, but now no one wants to suffer this injustice.
The author's work never disappoints! It possesses patriotism, intellectual depth, and the spirit of a passionate young man. Highly recommended.
Under this review mechanism, this is a rare gem of a book. The spiral of history is inescapable for everyone, both in the past and present.
A book by a master author, a masterpiece, the kind you stay up all night reading, the kind that makes you cry. It's also the kind that's incredibly sentimental.
All of Jiu Tu's books are excellent. The historical narratives are clear, the characters are well-developed, and the stories are captivating. Every single one is highly recommended.
I was deeply moved after reading it, and I cried when I read the chapter about Sesame Li entrusting his son to others on his deathbed. The rebel leader, Li Zicheng, lived two lives, both times encountering times of widespread suffering, and both times he rose up in rebellion to overthrow tyranny. The tragic heroic stories of history always bring tears to men's eyes. I look forward to more masterpieces from the author.
The writing is skillful, the structure mature, the content rich, the plot profound, the logic realistic, without exaggeration, superficiality, affectation, or embellishment. A rare gem of a book.
Aside from the rushed ending, the writing is excellent. Tomato's time-travel novels are top-notch; I highly recommend them.
The book by Jiu Tu unfolds in the grand sweep of history, featuring heroic figures who brought together the nation and its people for survival. It is imbued with a strong sense of patriotism and is well worth reading.
It's visually appealing and a bit more relaxing than other works. I've finished reading the entire book by the Drunkard; it's excellent.
