It's So Hard to Find a Tomato Novel With Both Great Writing and a Great Plot
Ladies, please stop recommending books! The pandemic is over, and us busy working stiffs don't have time to read! 😭
My Favorite Historical Novel on Tomato Novel
I'm looking for books like Taking Another Name in Langya. Transmigration isn't a dinner party; it's a deadly game at every turn. The plot should be vivid and interesting, with side characters who are smart. The protagonist should slaughter their way through life-or-death situations. It should be historically accurate, with a natural romance.
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?
Historical Fiction That's More Realistic and Longer, Please
Any High-Quality Historical War Novels Like Shao Song?
The Best of the Best in Historical Fiction
My Five Favorite Historical Novels
Pure Ancient Military Fiction, Alternate History, No Harem, No Fantasy
Preferably something centered on schemes and strategy. The longer, the better.
History Novels That Get Your Blood Pumping
The emperor defends the nation's borders; the ruler dies for the state.
Political Intrigue, High Quality, Historical
Looking for books like "My Father Is Emperor Wu of Han!" Nothing rated below 9.0, please. I'm in a serious reading slump.
There Are Hardly Any Good Historical Novels! Come Debate Me
Low EQ: I want a good novel. High EQ: Prove me wrong
Alternate History, High-IQ Characters, Military Conflict, and Strategic Showdowns
The protagonist defeats opponents through high intelligence rather than mindlessly overpowering them.
Looking for Historical Power-Struggle Stories About Conquering the Realm and Unifying the Central Plains
A unified empire.
The Pinnacle of Historical Fiction
I'm looking for the definitive masterpiece for each historical era, the one that no other work can match. For example, the Song dynasty's greatest work is "Song of the Southern Dynasty". Are there similar books for other dynasties?
Any Good Historical Novels? I've Run Out of Historical Fiction to Read Lately.
Please recommend some historical novels.
Historical Fiction: No Nonsense Allowed
It doesn’t have to be completely historically accurate, but at least don’t make it ridiculous. I want power struggles and political maneuvering that make sense. People shouldn’t just get confused all the time and believe the protagonist at first sight. The language doesn’t need to be perfectly period-appropriate, but please don’t throw in internet slang and memes at every turn.
The Best Ming Dynasty Novels, Rated 9.5: Thrilling and Newly Updated
Looking for books like "The Eight-Year-Old Blind Holy Grandson Crawls Out of the Ming Imperial Mausoleum from the Start". The Ming Dynasty! I love a good Ming Dynasty story, 9.5/10. Thrilling and fun to read.
My Solo Project Has Reached 80,000 Words, but I’m Too Nervous to Promote It as a Debut
Looking for books like "Reborn: The Campus Heartthrob Always Wants to Cling to Me". I've been writing solo for 80,000 words, and I've been really enjoying writing every day. Now that I'm about to make my debut, I'm feeling a little nervous. I'm worried it won't go well and will affect my mood for writing.
Historically Accurate, Without Making Things Up
Historical fiction has more room for worldbuilding, with vivid characters and no distortion of history. I want a satisfying read that covers dynasties, major and minor events, wars, and loyal civil and military officials, all presented in a historical setting.
Historical Novels Based on Official History
Historical novels based on official history, not unofficial accounts. Any dynasty is fine, but it absolutely has to be official history! Official history! Please! Historical fiction is really useful to me.
Are There Any Good Historical Novels Set in Ancient China, with Excellent Writing and No Made-Up History?
High-IQ Historical Transmigration, Rich Historical Atmosphere, and Fixing Historical Regrets
Looking for books similar to "I, the Ming Dynasty Immortal, Lived Through Sixteen Emperors (The Immortal Guest of the Ming Dynasty)".

The author's writing is excellent. The beginning is a bit slow, but it gets increasingly captivating as you read on, and you'll become more and more impressed by the author's profound historical knowledge. The early sections, starting with Diaoyu City, correspond to many real historical events, such as the Battle of Diaoyu City and the Battle of Ezhou…
This is the most realistic historical novel about the Southern Song Dynasty I've ever read! When the protagonist hires Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu as teachers, Wen Tianxiang had indeed resigned from his official post in real history, while Lu Xiufu was awaiting appointment. Even the authors of the Three Character Classic, Wang Yinglin, and the mathematician Qin Jiushao, are historical figures.
The novel is actually written according to historical timelines. The author cleverly integrates the protagonist, Zhao Xuan, into the historical narrative. After time-traveling, the protagonist arrives in Lin'an to recuperate, and the story unfolds from there. It becomes increasingly interesting as it progresses, and the scenes gradually become grander. Without a system, it recreates much of the history we can't truly understand, making it a truly rare and excellent work.
The plot is tightly woven, the author has paid meticulous attention to character portrayal, the inner thoughts are natural and apt, and the language is highly expressive, making it a delightful read. It's a good book and well worth reading.
"Spring Arrives in Jiangnan, Flowers Bloom Naturally" unfolds like a long historical scroll of the Southern Song Dynasty. The protagonist, Zhao Xuan, rises and falls amidst the turbulent tides of the era, his interactions with historical figures like Wen Tianxiang adding depth and realism to the story.
Different people will have different opinions, and the author possesses extensive historical knowledge. The writing is detailed, the theme is clear, and it's a good book. I believe it will become known to more and more readers.
A great book! The writing is well-structured and logically consistent, showcasing the Southern Song Dynasty. The author demonstrates solid writing skills and uses fluent and beautiful language. It's a rare gem among recent books and highly recommended for continued reading...
This book is very well written and historically accurate, making the protagonist, Zhao Xuan, seem like a firsthand witness to the historical events. However, the viewpoints expressed in the text seem to oppose Zhu Xi, considering the Battle of Huangtiandang a defeat, and appear to be trying to vindicate the treacherous minister Jia Sidao. This makes one want to continue reading to find out more.
Great story, smooth plot, highly recommended!
You must have looked up a lot of information; thank you for your hard work.
