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 "Ming Dynasty: I’m Done Pretending, Your Grandpa Is Zhu Yuanzhang". I haven’t found a single good book about the Ming Dynasty besides this one.
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...

Having read about ten chapters, I'll give it a five-star rating for now. I suggest that Yuan Keli, one of the ten most upright officials in history, should be appointed as the head of the cabinet. He is very capable, and the Manchus were afraid of Yuan Keli. However, after the Qing Dynasty was established, his life story was suppressed. Also, Bi Ziyan was a financial expert in ancient times; Fan Xianwen could be the Minister of History.
The writing is good, the historical logic is correct, the characters and historical events are clear. I also hate the eight traitors and traitors of Shanxi merchants. Although I am from Shanxi, it is an indisputable fact that Shanxi merchants are traitorous. Donglin ruined the country, Shanxi merchants sold their gardens, the border troops defeated the country, and Chongzhen harmed the country.
The author is clearly well-versed in Ming Dynasty history, and this is a truly well-written book in the "Late Ming Time Travel" series, though I feel the score is a bit low. The story begins after the early years of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign in the late Ming Dynasty.
It's quite good, and the descriptions suit my taste, but don't bother reading the reviews; they're all either saying it's too weak or too extreme. The 1% helpful comments are met with 99% condemnation or criticism for not being properly addressed. It's like something out of a madman's book.
This is the best novel I've ever read about the late Ming Dynasty.
Relatively speaking, the storyline is quite objective and will make you want to keep reading.
Author, keep up the good work! In my opinion, it's very well written, with a great pace that's neither too fast nor too slow. As for the criticisms in the comments section, they all boil down to the fact that the author didn't write about things that made them feel comfortable. They call it a criticism if they feel uncomfortable or unhappy while reading it.
Well written, I've added it to my favorites. Keep up the good work, author!
The book's writing style, logic, and historical depth are all good, and the first half is excellent. However, as it progresses, its flaws become more apparent. One is the pace—it's too fast, too rushed. How can reforms proceed so quickly, taking such a large step forward in just three years? The other is some common-sense inconsistencies, which many readers have pointed out.
It's very well written, with a tight plot and a protagonist who acts methodically. It satisfies many history buffs' longing for the late Ming Dynasty, allowing the protagonist to rectify many regrets and punish many heinous criminals. The storyline is very rich.
