Looking for Female-Led Stories with No Romance, Where the Female Lead Is Always Smart
I want that feeling where the heroine has everything under control. Ideally, she's already really, really powerful from the very beginning of the story *^_^*
Any Watch-Along Fics Where They Just Watch the Sky Screen Without Interacting?
I don't want to see the protagonist interact with historical figures. I only want the sky screen, with people from the past learning useful things or knowledge from it, so they can help the people and prevent regrets from happening. They shouldn't be given things directly, either. They should make gradual, practical progress.
Are There Really No Historical Livestream Stories Worth Reading?
I like stories about livestreaming to historical figures, but I don't like it when the streamer knows who the viewers are. If it's purely about history, the protagonist needs to have a central argument of their own, enough to get some views in Bilibili's knowledge section, rather than simply retelling stories. The reaction should logically show the emperor...

Looking for Historical Sky Screen Fics That Keep Up With Current Events!
Stories featuring all kinds of historical songs, like “Five Thousand Years of Chinese History” (is that what it’s called? The rap song about history), or the student poetry recitation “What If Li Bai Had Never Existed,” which I just came across. A lot of stories like these use really old tropes.
Let Our Ancestors See How Much We Love Zheng Ge
Ahhhhh, I really want a sky screen story that openly shows favoritism toward Zheng Ge!
Looking for Historical Stories with Livestreams and Sky Screens
Stories where videos are shown to people across different periods of history. Lighthearted and funny, preferably aimed at women, with no romantic pairing.
Any Stories Where Ancients Watch Bizarre Videos, Play Games, or Read Fanfiction?
For example, show Beibei a wild video of Qinghong making Baidu wander off, show Cao Xueqin Lin Daiyu uprooting a willow tree, show Li Shimin The Heroes of Sui and Tang, and so on~

A Classic Historical Romance Recommendation for a Well-Read Woman
I found a book that doesn’t follow the usual formula. It’s full of knowledge, has a clear historical timeline, and offers deep insight into human nature. Definitely worth taking the time to read.

I'd give it four and a half stars after reading this far. The half-star deduction is because the last two chapters started veering into fantasy/science fiction. It's supposed to be a historical live-stream story, but then it starts talking about species mutations and a global mass meteor shower?
There are many historical fiction novels, but this one is really interesting. It's the first time I've seen one on Tomato Book that uses the Three-Body Problem and the Cleveland Cthulhu archetype to discourage readers from seeking immortality.
It's good! I've seen quite a few of these kinds of shows, but I usually can't get into the rest after watching the beginning. Yours, however, really makes me want to keep watching. Keep it up! ✊
I absolutely love it! Having read so many novels of the same genre, this is the first one that truly moved me. Keep it up!
Yes, the author has a certain breadth of historical knowledge and offers their own insights. The protagonist's role isn't very prominent, as their primary tool is a mobile phone (of course, I still suspect the content was filtered by a system, since it seems almost entirely history-oriented, with less focus on modern themes. Even the chat groups lean towards academic discussions within historical circles). It's a place where you can expand your knowledge while also enjoying the entertainment.
This is considered top-tier among Tomato's works of this genre; at least it's the first time I've seen a Dark Forest theme used to discourage readers from pursuing immortality. The author does include some personal touches, but to a relatively mild degree, making it readable.
It's very well written, especially the parts about our ancestors; it's both touching and moving.
The universe is a dark forest, and every civilization is an armed hunter, stalking through it like a ghost, gently parting the branches in its path, striving to make no sound, even its breathing cautious. It must be careful, for everywhere in the forest are other hunters lurking like itself.
It's a good read, but historical novels like this tend to have a lot of the author's personal opinions, so it's hard for everyone to like the author's perspective. Some people will really like it, and some people will really dislike it.
Keep up the good work!
