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.
Authentic Primordial Era Fiction: No Dumbed-Down Characters or Broken Power Systems
Looking for books similar to "Pangu: Systems, I'm Back for Revenge!" I'm really tired of those stories that break the whole cultivation system, as well as the prehistoric-world novels that water things down. They're all so mindless. I want a proper prehistoric-world story, like one about a human sage and so on.

Having read countless war novels over forty years, this one is quite good, no worse than "The Yellow Emperor of the Mountain Valley"! It's really well-written!
I've been reading for several hours now, and it's excellent. The content is rich and realistic, the protagonist has the charm of Cao Cao and the ambition of Liu Bang, and most of the supporting characters, so far, seem to be quite intelligent. It's a fantastic read!
It's pretty good, the plot is decent.
Based on my nearly 3,000 hours of reading time, this book is really good, and you can clearly feel that the author put a lot of effort into it. I'll give it five stars!
One of the few time-travel novels that is truly well-written is one that allows the reader to see things from a modern perspective. Technology cannot necessarily change everything, and any military or political system cannot be perfected without long-term accumulation.
It's great! Although I'm always at war and don't know much about it, the plot is very engaging! It's watchable and very exciting.
I've been a long-time reader of this book, and it's really not bad. As for the protagonist's personality, well, I didn't really connect with it. I particularly liked the author's descriptions of the war, especially the attack on the Qi state—that was the best part. The rest was just so-so.
Reading it as a lighthearted, fast-paced story, there are some issues with the details. By chapter 22, I felt the story was about to fall apart because of the two women. After checking the comments and searching for keywords, I realized the female characters didn't appear very often, so the author must have stopped the slacking off in time. Otherwise, this book would hardly even get a 7 out of 10.
After reading it for a day, I feel the author's outline and ideas are quite clear. At least in this era where everything is based on systems, it's already considered a top-tier work. Why didn't I give it five stars? Because I think full stars are usually reserved for masterpieces, but this one might fall a little short. The difference isn't huge, but it's still there.
Well written. At least it's right up my alley. Keep it up! 200 Chapters already. Still very exciting. Constant fighting. There are many women, but no chapters are wasted on them. Worth 5 stars. There were many small problems. At first, they could be ignored. But as the number of small problems accumulated, they gradually became tiresome. Especially with Chang'an besieged.
