What’s the Hottest Historical Novel on Tomato Novel?
I’m in a reading slump.
I Don't Believe Tomato Has Any Masterpieces with Deep Ideas, Epic Scope, and a Grand, Sweeping Feel
I still haven't found a novel like this.
Historical Fiction That Feels Realistic
No System, and nothing about The Legend of Qin. Just straight historical fiction.
Any Excellent Historical Novels?!
I'm sick of those power-fantasy stories where the protagonist shows off all the time!
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?
The Best Historical Novels From Every Dynasty
Preferably a book rated above 9.
Brothers, These Historical What-If Novels Are Guaranteed to Be a Blast
To help everyone get their fill of history, I'm recommending a few satisfying historical novels. My friends all say they're amazing! I picked every one of these myself, so give them a try!
Please Recommend High-Quality Historical or Alternate-History Novels with Highly Intelligent Characters
Anything is fine as long as it isn't brainless and the supporting characters don't suddenly lose all their intelligence.
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 High-Quality Historical War Novels
Looking for High-Quality Historical Fiction. No Mindless Power Trips or Brain-Dead Plotting
I want high-quality historical fiction that’s engaging and doesn’t dumb things down or rely on brainless plots. It can be satisfying, but don’t treat readers like idiots. No stories like the one where the protagonist fools Cao Cao’s quartermaster about the provisions from the start, or those where a literati protagonist suddenly has the strength of a tyrant. They’re unoriginal and mindless...
Looking for Great Historical Novels Worthy of Classic Status
I Sat Alone at the End of a Sea of Books for a Million Years, Yet Not One Was Worth Looking Back For
Fellow cultivators, this old man has a favor to ask. I'll trade my friend's eternal misfortune for one masterpiece from among your recommendations.
Looking for Novels Set During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty, or the Northern and Southern Dynasties
I’ve read so many stories set in the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties that I’m tired of them. I’d like to try some less common historical periods. Preferably completed. Please recommend some~~~

Look at the novels next door. They've got history and a story to tell. Is Tomato really this bad??? Recommend a few already. I'm seriously out of books to read!
Transmigrating as a Commoner and Starting a Rebellion
A rebellion at the height of prosperity in any dynasty, whether Han, Tang, Song, or Ming
I’ll Take Any Recommendations, as Long as They’re High Quality. Completed Is Preferable, but Not Required
Lately, almost everything I like is still updating, and two or three chapters a day just aren't enough. Recommend some good books! Are there any hidden masterpieces that haven't been heavily promoted everywhere, which I might have missed? I can't fit anything else because of the character limit.
The Emperor Discovers His Hundreds of Thousands of Secret Troops, So He Overthrows the Dynasty
Please Recommend a Novel
Looking for books like Eastern Jin: The Three Revivals of the Han. A very rigorous historical novel, not one of those brainless power fantasies. The author's other books are great too.
Some Books Are Great, but There's Never Enough to Read
Looking for books similar to "I'm a streamer who rakes in cash! And the big spenders really do drop the money!" Don't recommend anything under 200,000 characters.

I only realized it was Zhao Gonggong's book after reading dozens of chapters. The writing and plot are excellent. His other works, *Ant Thief* and *The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms*, have both been on hiatus since I followed them for a long time. Be prepared for this one! 😄
6. 1.59 Million words, and it still feels like I haven't left the beginner's village yet.
The author has poured their heart into writing about a minor character in a historical event, capturing the historical context perfectly and providing detailed descriptions of the battle scenes. It's a slow-burning novel, and I eagerly await the author's next installment. Giving such a good book only 7.6 Points is way too low.
It's very well written. Those who like to read wish-fulfillment novels where the male protagonist conquers the world on his own will definitely not be able to read it. You should know that many heroes, such as Liu Bei, started from humble beginnings!
A truly fantastic book, a must-read! The writing style is completely new, unlike any other prehistoric fantasy novel! It's a masterpiece, comparable to another prehistoric fantasy novel I've read before! It's far superior to "Three Thousand Prehistoric Guests: Soul Infusion" (which itself limited the work's scope and scope).
It's visually appealing, historically accurate, and grounded in reality, feeling like a genuine time-travel experience.
A 7.4 Rating is a bit low; a 9 or higher would be more appropriate. The pacing is slow but engaging, and the changes in mindset and growth require a lot of groundwork. The author's writing skills are still very good.
This war book is very detailed and well worth reading.
It wasn't easy, really! It took over 300 chapters to get going! Finally, it's on track! The novel is quite well-written, unlike some novels where the protagonist has everything go smoothly and constantly acquires famous generals. I see a bit of Liu Bei in the protagonist. Also, the author described some events in too much detail in the early stages.
It's written in great detail, very realistically, and with clear logic. The only downside is the slow pace. It requires careful reading.
