I'm Tired of Poor Scholar Stories. Any About Scions of Great Clans Taking the Imperial Exams?
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...
Who Deserves to Be Called an Authority in Imperial Examination Stories?
Looking for books like You Were Supposed to Be the Young Master's Page, but You Passed the Imperial Exam for Him (The Poor Scholar Who Placed First). Any gender is fine, as long as it's satisfying and makes sense!
High-Quality Imperial Examination Novels
Looking for books similar to "From Passing the Imperial Exams with Top Scores to Running the Government". Wonderful fellow readers, can you recommend some high-quality imperial-exam novels? Something like "A Noble Son from a Poor Family" or "Running the Government" would be great.
No Heroine, No Romance for the Male Lead, Any Genre
Male-oriented, no female lead, no CP, no flirting, no harem. No gender swaps. Don’t recommend anything with no gender, either. I want someone who is male in both soul and body, a man through and through. I’m not interested in no-female-lead stories that are basically a land of women. And don’t give me vague stories that merely claim to have no female lead. I’ll report bad recommendations.
Historical Novels You Absolutely Can't Miss!!!

From the Great Xia Kingdom's top soldier to the Prince of Changyi!
Looking for Stories About Legitimate and Illegitimate Sons of Powerful Families Taking the Imperial Exams
I’m tired of stories about poor students taking the imperial exams. Please recommend some about scions of prominent families who rise to success through the exams. Ideally, the male lead brings glory to his family. The romance should be minimal or just in the background! Even better if there’s an audiobook narrated by a real person!

Ancient Setting, Imperial Exams, Not from a Poor Family, No System, Transmigration
The protagonist should have sound values, pass the imperial examinations, and devote himself to serving the people. He should be decisive while still considering the greater good. One female lead only. He should take revenge without harming the innocent. When discussing poetry, he shouldn’t come across as pretentious. Success should be hard-won: others shouldn’t be crushed by a cheat just because they’ve studied for ten years. The story should explore big ideas.
Imperial Exam Stories About a Farmer's Son From a Poor Family Who Becomes a Powerful Official, No Exaggerations or Harem

It's a great show with a fresh theme, but there's just too little content 😅 I hope there won't be any romance scenes later on.
It's beautiful, but there are too few words. Also, I slightly dislike the eldest son for not passing the imperial examination, and I especially dislike his wife. It's unbelievable that someone who caused the deaths of three children is still alive and well.
It's a really good read, but could the author please tell me in advance if there's a female lead? (Including whether she gets married, or if there's any romantic involvement, etc.) Otherwise, if I see a female lead, I'll probably block the author (meaning I won't read any more of their books, mainly because I'm unsure, and I'll likely be emotionally unstable at that point, and if it leaves a…
I caught up with the story in one go, but it wasn't enough! The protagonist's activity map hasn't expanded to the capital yet, and the brotherhood with the other characters is heartwarming. I look forward to more exciting plot developments. The viciousness, shamelessness, and utter depravity of the Shen family, including the eldest son and his wife, and the old man Shen, are appalling; I wish…
It's good, please update more often. Ideally, there should be little or no romance. I'd like to see the story progress from school to the imperial examinations and then to the court, with revenge involved. 😄😄😄😄
The writing is really good. There's a cheat code, but even that cheat code requires effort. There's also room for imagination. It's quite interesting. The brothers are also pretty good. Unfortunately, their choices led to different outcomes. Especially the parents—they're a double-edged sword. They might lift you up with both hands, or they might pull you down with all their might, pushing you to the edge of a cliff. The situation with Saburo and Shiro is truly hopeless.
Brilliant, truly brilliant, but the old man's antics gave me a headache. His abilities are like a toothpick, yet his ambition is enormous. Helping the eldest son harm his other sons and grandsons—truly impressive. I hope they can sever ties with the family soon.
The concept is good, but the details are too poor. Most of it revolves around family squabbles and power struggles. Overall, it covers various aspects: the imperial examination system (a dictatorial emperor trying to eliminate a student in the examinations, regardless of their background, is too simplistic); the historical setting (the novel only describes two dynasties, making it too narrow)…
Chapter 65 is up, so far it's alright. It's about everyday life, but not too cliché, and the plot device isn't overly obvious. I don't like overly exaggerated plots, the current balance is acceptable! The character descriptions are good, at least the main characters are distinct and easy to distinguish.
The protagonist's cheat ability is so convenient, he's perfectly suited for the imperial examination path. I'm looking forward to his revenge journey later on. If you like this kind of story, you should check it out... There are too many other things involved—brotherhood, scheming among brothers.
