I’ve read several books about the Ming Dynasty. Overall, they had excellent prose, deep historical knowledge, and well-crafted characters. But a few seem to share the same flaws: too much exposition and overly contrived schemes. Any good recommendations?
The Pinnacle of Historical Fiction
Looking for books similar to *Tang Dynasty: Defying the Imperial Decree Is the Only Way to Get Stronger*. This book makes me cry every time I read it. I've read it five or six times, and I still cry. I just can't believe anything else is better. It's the strongest historical novel in my book! An 8.9 rating is way too low. I'd give it a 9.

There are indeed some flaws in the front. I feel that there is a problem with the rhythm design, which leads to improper speed. I can only use repeated emphasis to describe the changes of the protagonist and the emotions of the male and female protagonists, which falls behind. However, the flaws are not concealed. After the plot officially unfolds, although the writing is not good, the plot is coherent. The character is strong, and the rhythm control is getting better and better. The character descriptions are based on the Ming Dynasty 1566. It cannot be said to be lifelike, but it has a three-point charm. It is not impossible to secretly use famous lines [laughter]. I would give it an eight out of ten because the storytelling ability of this getting better is so good.
The plot is reasonable, and the protagonist does not get carried away or arrogant because he is a soul traveler (at least he knows that in an imperial society, he is cautious about the emperor and does not get carried away, which is already very strong). And there is no mess about three wives and four concubines. I have always had a good relationship with Qingmei👍I think it is worth watching
It's very good. I think the biggest feature of this book is that the protagonist can apply the wisdom of all modern people on Tieba to ancient times. I think this is very good. This is not a golden finger. After all, if you are just one person in this. After a long time, he will also know a lot of knowledge, but being able to use it is another matter. There is also a change in the protagonist. It can be said that it was a big blow when he was a child. I think it is more in line with the situation that ordinary people would have if they really traveled back in time. After that, they will gradually change. You have to be cautious and able to figure out the situation under various circumstances. This kind of person is really interesting to read. It is not like Shuangwen, which may not be interesting to you after reading dozens of chapters. It is also not like a slower-paced article, because I actually think this book has a faster pace and is more in line with my taste. Taste, although the current rating is not high, I think many people will find this book. I hope the author will stick to it. As for some emotional lines and some shortcomings described above, I actually think this is harmless. After all, it is the first time for the author to write a book. It is normal not to have this experience.
The previous chapters were a bit flawed, but they were very good after being elected. They are among the best in Tomato. Unlike other novels, the emperor basically has no brains and unconditionally trusts the protagonist. The whole story is full of political trade-offs and struggles. It is very good.
Okay, it seems a bit wordy at first. But I didn't expect that it would start to look better later on. It's a pity that the sentence "Please remember how" that often appears in the middle is like the author's own complaints, but it is often expressed through the protagonist. I think it's quite unique, but some people think it's too long-winded. I personally feel fine, it depends on personal feelings. I think it looks pretty
There are a lot of posts on Tieba, "Code of Travelers" (the protagonist's soliloquy) and the protagonist's childhood, and I write repeatedly about these three things. If these three things don't affect your reading, this book is quite good (Tomato Review Standard Cat Man Edition 1.0)
Saw Chapter 43. You can skip to read the first 34 pictures. Because writing about things between men and women is too repetitive. You might get bored. You can also start reading from Chapter 35. This is the power struggle of historical literature, the expansion of territory, the main task. Fortunately, when I read it for the first time, I skipped through the 20, 40, and 30 chapters that followed. Then when I watched it for the second time, I watched it carefully from beginning to end. Fortunately, I skipped it the first time, otherwise I would definitely not have watched it. I've seen the latest 200 chapters. It's well written. I haven't seen it in a long time. A clever novel. [Cool]
This book is definitely one of the best historical novels with a single female protagonist that I have ever read. The emotional line is more natural than other male-led books. It is highly praised! ! Whether they are historical figures or fictional characters including male and female protagonists, everyone's portrayal is very three-dimensional. The political ecology of the Jiajing Dynasty is also described in detail. You can see the light and dark game between the Yan Party, Qingliu and the protagonist's Imperial Party at the central and local levels. There are some voice-overs interspersed in the text, which are very unique but not everyone will like them, but you can tell that they are very thoughtful. Overall, it's a great novel. Thank you for saving this book from the bookworm of an old bookworm who can't stand assembly-line writing. [Sending my heart][Sending my heart][Sending my heart][Sending my heart] I watched it all night, and the bond between the hero and Jiajing was amazing from beginning to end! ! ! I originally thought that the story would be dull after Jiajing's death. The author has been rushing to make progress, but the writing is very clear and slowly reveals the modern thoughts of the male protagonist to that era. He does not care about small gains and losses and assumes the responsibility of a prophet. With this point, he can really kill a lot of sophisticated and self-interested male protagonists who are hypocritical~
I saw this book on the home page and thought it was a publishing product, so I just wanted to put it on the bookshelf to collect dust. The book I was following at the same time was not updated, so I picked up this book in my spare time. In the past, when I saw a novel with a female protagonist in the first few chapters, I would immediately abandon it, but I kept reading this one for no reason. When I went to bed at night, I thought about the differences in this book and realized that the same female protagonist appeared at the beginning, while the male protagonist often fell in love at first sight. He looked at the beautiful face and graceful figure with extremely lewd eyes, even if he was a noble man. It was more appropriate to say that he was "moved by lust" without any emotional communication. He fell in love with the collision of eyes. I am used to seeing this, but I always feel that it is too superficial. In this book, the male and female protagonists go from childhood sweethearts to childhood sweethearts and then to the bridal chamber. It is not "love at first sight" but "love that lasts for a long time." It does not describe how beautiful the female protagonist is. It is just right that when the male protagonist looks at her, he thinks "Ah, so beautiful", which outlines the beauty based on emotion. This book also cleverly balances love and career. I used to read books without female protagonists and didn't like mixing career with love, but this book changed me. It turns out that career and love can reach a balance.
Generally speaking, it is impressive, but there are many small flaws. It is like finding treasures in the sea, most of which are sand and mud, and only a few are pearls. The author has some criticized habits, such as describing people's mentality as either a cup cracked or fanned off, and there are also habitual things that have never been changed, such as the mistakes and typos in Renren's one-eyed look, which seems to be boring, and the description of officialdom is a bit kind, but the love scene is okay (referring to the latter part, many people complained in front)
