Meticulously Researched Historical Fiction
A twisting, suspenseful plot, a protagonist who's not an idiot, and something I can learn from while reading. Ideally, it should be close to real history.
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 Protagonist Leads a Steppe Tribe, Unites the Steppe, and Marches Into the Central Plains
Please, I'm begging for this book.
Any Excellent Historical Novels?!
I'm sick of those power-fantasy stories where the protagonist shows off all the time!
Any Stories Where the Protagonist Is a Nomad Living on the Grasslands?
Looking for books similar to "I Was Just Born, and Mother Is Already Using Me to Fight for the Throne!" I really want to read this kind of novel. Please, authors, I’m not asking for much, just something readable. The protagonist should be part of a nomadic people and unite the steppe, with a Mongolian kind of feel.

I want something similar to Founding a Country in Australia in 1796. I want a novel that doesn’t follow one person from beginning to end, but shows different stages of development under each president. Very satisfying.

At first glance, it seems childish. Read it again, and you'll find more meaning. It looks awful but is actually really good.

It's a very exciting plot. I don't understand Xiliao at all, but I think this book is very interesting. Don't be too excited to compete with Genghis Khan. Question Mongolia, understand Mongolia, and become Mongolia. When it comes to aspects that I understand, I can't stand it. 😐
It's a pretty good subject matter, well-written, and has a strong sense of history. Regardless of whether it's true or not, at least the logic is sound and it can be justified. Prairie Tribes is better written. You can refer to the Han Dynasty. These are the only two books like Tomato that you can read. The aliens who were stabbed in the back could be let go with all their beards and tails, and Mao didn't dare to move. The key was that he was still one of his affiliated forces' sons. Shouldn't the other party be afraid to death? If the protagonist is afraid of being directly exterminated, it would be better for the protagonist to just let the eldest prince who was stabbed in the back and his army go back unscathed. Haven't you ever heard of fearing power rather than virtue? Therefore, the affiliated forces will not think that you are generous, but will only think that you are weak and powerless, and anyone can bully you! The more I write in the future, the more abstract and coy I become, and I am no longer decisive in killing! Abandon it, it's too poisonous
Already read, Dashan, it's rare to see such an unpopular article. I just finished reading Yelu Dashi's Rebuilding of the Liao Dynasty to Mongolia's Destruction of the Liao Dynasty. I don't know how great this book would be if it could be involved in major European events such as the Crusades.
I feel like the author could draw a rough sphere of influence for the protagonist on the map, otherwise I really wouldn't have much of an impression. If you haven't played Europa Universalis and have a general understanding of the protagonist's power when reading the novel, it would be really difficult to be involved 🤦
The writing is quite good, the structure and logic are rigorous, and the story theme is novel. However, the ancient Mongolian names and positions are too complicated. As a Han Chinese, it is easy to get dizzy if you don't pay attention.
Very good novel! There is too little contact with the historical primitives of the Central Asian grasslands. As a farming civilization, we have had a short-sighted perspective in past dynasties. Both missed the ocean and ignored the grassland.
9.5 Points. It would be better if the author could share the protagonist's power expansion map.
The subject matter is very novel and the writing is excellent. The place names are too difficult to pronounce. It would be better if there was a map. Can the author upload a map?
The author writes well. But there is a fatal flaw, that is, the names of foreign people and places are too long and difficult to understand, and there are no accompanying pictures, making it very difficult to read.
It is a rare and good book. It is not poisonous at present, and its logic is very rigorous. As a native, I cannot find fault with the description and historical records of the Western Regions.
