Don't make me look at any of Tomato's five toxic genres!
Overlooked Masterpieces
Cultivation, fantasy, or historical fiction are all fine.
Epic War Novels With Grand, Passionate Battle Scenes
Guys, any novels with epic, large-scale battle scenes? Passionate ones are fine too. It doesn't have to be war or fantasy, anything goes as long as the battles are grand.
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.

This is the best novel about the Southern Ming Dynasty I've read in recent years. I have a suggestion: the territorial division with the Northern Qing isn't clearly defined; a map would be helpful. Also, the diplomatic aspects are relatively underdeveloped.
Good book. It's clear the author has a good understanding of the navy. The problem is that the exact boundaries between the Ming and Jurchen territories are still unclear. Also, it would be great if we could have some renderings of Ming warships. The only downside is that it's not good enough.
After reading for so long, I finally remembered to leave a review. This book is about a parallel universe in the late 19th century, where the Southern Ming Dynasty, which has branched off in history, vigorously develops its navy and engages in a series of naval battles with the Northern Qing Dynasty and the "little people". The author possesses solid writing skills and a very broad knowledge base.
The author demonstrates a solid foundation, particularly in their understanding of the naval and naval industrial development history from ironclad warships to pre-dreadnoughts and the first dreadnoughts. Furthermore, the author doesn't confine themselves to the common practice of using historical figures like the Italian Garibaldi-class destroyers and their improved versions when depicting that…
It's a good book, why doesn't anyone read it?
It's very well written, depicting the difficulties faced by those burdened with heavy responsibilities and the choices requiring great wisdom, as well as the various aspects of human nature and fierce struggles. The descriptions of social structures, whether top-down or bottom-up, are particularly well done, creating a strong sense of immersion.
This is a fantastic book. The author really put their heart into it; the details are amazing, and the research is very thorough.
The writing is concise and humorous, and it's worth recommending.
The Ming Dynasty depicted by the author has many regrets, and the protagonist is not a world-destroying superhero. But in the real world, where is there a perfect country? Superheroes only exist on screen and in books. Even if the Ming Dynasty perishes in the end, at least the protagonist tried, and the Ming Dynasty in the book rose up; it didn't just drift aimlessly and wait to die. There aren't that many perfect endings in the world.
It's well-written, but the beginning was too bland and didn't build to a climax. The naval battles later on were described in great detail and were very well done. I hope the author will write the next part. If the transitional period had been finished earlier, the score might have been higher, and it would have attracted more readers. Keep writing, author!
