Ensemble Casts: A Group Comes Together, and in the End Some Die While Others Are Wounded
Looking for Books with a Lawful Good, Righteous Protagonist: No Conspiracy Theories or Showing Off and Face-Slapping
I've read too many cookie-cutter plots. I want something sunny, healthy, and uplifting. No deep-dive analysis, just give the kids a little hope, please!
A Scheming Protagonist with Deep-Laid Plans, Like in Sword Snow Stride
Looking for a Male Lead Who's a Bodyguard, Assassin, or Young Guard
Looking for Warfare in the Age of Cold Weapons: Meat-Grinder Battlefields, Blood and Gore, and Waves of Iron Cavalry
A protagonist who rises from humble beginnings among the outlaws, decisive and ruthless, yet loyal and compassionate.
Wuxia, Court Politics, Military, Scheming, and Great Writing
Novels like Sword Snow Stride and Hidden Beauty.
The Male Lead Wields a Spear, Joins the Military Young, and Retires After Achieving Greatness
Stories with a Bow-Wielding Protagonist
Same as above.
Any High-Quality Historical War Novels Like Shao Song?
Ensemble Cast Novels!!
Please recommend some ensemble-cast stories. Nothing with a really low rating, please.
Stories Where Everyone Is Highly Intelligent, Both the Protagonists and Their Enemies
Whether they’re protagonists or enemies, they should all be highly intelligent. No idiots.
Beautiful Writing, Mature Prose, Nothing Childish. I Don't Mind Familiar Tropes.
Looking for Historical Novels Set in Ancient Times, With a Male Protagonist. A Normal Number of Wives and Concubines Is Fine
Any Novels Where Neither the Male nor Female Lead Is Chaste?
I've been reading novels for years, and they're either pure in relationships on both sides, or the male lead isn't pure while the female lead is, or they have two male leads or two female leads. I don't think I've come across a good story where neither the male nor female lead is pure. Sigh.
Fully Armored Heavy Cavalry!!!
Please recommend heavy cavalry. I want to see hundreds of heavily armored horsemen smashing through an army of thousands.
Underrated, High-Quality Reads!
I’ve read 90% of the books on the recommendation lists. I’m looking for lesser-known, high-quality stories with good writing. Male- and female-oriented novels are both fine, any genre or setting, ancient, modern, or fantasy. Short, medium-length, or long works are all fine, whether ongoing or complete.
Is There a War Type, Where You Fight Everywhere? Regardless of the Subject Matter, I'm Begging My Dear Friends.
Looking for Historical Fiction with No System and No Excessive Invention
*My Grandfather Is Zhu Yuanzhang* is a great example. I like power-struggle stories, and all of Wu Laolang’s books are great, like *Three Kingdoms: A Good Kid*. No womanizers, and don’t give the female lead too much screen time. Absolutely no System stories, no wish-fulfillment stories, and no creator-type stories.
Pure Historical Romance
I'm out of books to read.
Looking for High-IQ Alternate-History Novels
High-IQ characters! I want them to be really smart (but not so smart that I can’t keep up).
Alternate History with Powerful, Clever Villainous Forces and a Strong Protagonist
Alternate-history novels with a powerful villain faction, a strong protagonist, and intelligent characters across the board. I want plenty of factions and impressive strategy.
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?
Are There Any Good Historical Novels Set in Ancient China, with Excellent Writing and No Made-Up History?
Ancient War and Conquest: Strategic, Step by Step, and No Mindless Modern Firearms
I want books similar to *Ten Kingdoms, a Thousand Beauties*.

It seems that the author wants to tell a grand story, with rigorous logic and online writing. There are quite a few characters appearing so far, and it feels a bit like a group drama. It suits my taste very well, and the updates are real-time. I look forward to the follow-up and don't write too much.
Light a star to cheer yourself up. This book is my "first child" in Tomato. I will raise it well and never raise it as a eunuch [face covering]. If there are no accidents, there will be two updates every day. Readers who like it, please feel free to collect and read, encourage me, and help raise the baby--because your encouragement is my motivation [Sending Hearts]
I clicked in because I like the history of the Western Regions, and it really lived up to my expectations! It revolves around the story of the three-way struggle between chariot masters, the Xiongnu, and the Han Dynasty, interspersed with Loulan Yanqi and other small countries with testable histories. I feel that the author has done his homework well and written the article seriously. Chapter 1.20 Writes about the first Battle of Jiaohe Guards. How can I put it, it is both burning and real. The hustle and bustle of the cold weapon era comes to life on the page, and you can truly feel the growth of the protagonist along with the war. 2. There is no golden finger or fantasy power, but it feels more real. The male protagonist Amo and the female protagonist Xiao Xi are childhood sweethearts, and they have grown up together slowly. I feel that this is a more realistic reflection of the war-torn background. All the supporting characters are flesh and blood, forming a huge group portrait with brains. I feel that the dialogue and strategy are not the kind of childish humming and haha. Sorry, it is really hard to watch, haha. 3. I flipped through it hastily, and it's rare that I still wrote it with a million words and still put my heart into it. The plot is compact without breaking down, almost every chapter has a hook, and as the story unfolds, it becomes more and more interesting. You can see the hard work of the author. As an enthusiastic audience, I must give a thumbs up to the author who created the story with great care!
After reading dozens of chapters, the story slowly unfolded and became more and more Machiavellian, making it more and more interesting. I don't know if this book is for men or women. The emotional lines are very delicate, but the war scenes are also well written. Isn't it a disadvantage if the book is not divided between men and women? Please support the author.
Five stars! It's slow to pick up, but it's getting better and better. The conflicts and entanglements between countries and people are all revealed. Just to complain, I think the girls and male villains are better portrayed than Ah Mo.
It's such a cool storytelling section. It gives the author some popularity. I've just read two chapters and it's very good.
This is the first time I have seen a novel based on the history of the Western Regions. When I saw this work, I thought of riding horses and killing Han and Huns in the Western Regions. The male protagonist should stay in the Western Region in the end, right?
