Looking for a territory-expansion novel with reasonably rigorous numbers. Don't recommend one if the stats are inconsistent or the protagonist has items they never use.

The Protagonist Transmigrates to a Foreign Country and Becomes a Foreigner, Any Country Is Fine
I just can’t get past this: they transmigrate to a foreign country, to the West, and still use Chinese names. It just feels weird. So could you recommend something where they completely transmigrate into a foreigner? If they’ve gone to another country, then let them be foreigners, not Chinese people.

Isekai, lordship.
Please Recommend High-Quality Historical or Alternate-History Novels with Highly Intelligent Characters
Anything is fine as long as it isn't brainless and the supporting characters don't suddenly lose all their intelligence.
Tribes, Farming, Development: Come Share Your Recommendations!!!
The protagonist transmigrates to a primitive tribe and starts developing it through farming, gradually bringing everyone under one rule. System stories need not apply. A golden finger is fine as long as it isn't too over-the-top.

Looking for Western Fantasy Novels
I’ve been into Western fantasy lately: elves, beast girls, gods, magic, and an interesting fantasy world. Does anyone have any good Western fantasy novels to share?
Lord-Building Stories With a Slow Growth Arc, No Unique Troop Type from the Start
Not the kind where it's all “from the start, the only hidden unit” and “SSS-rank talent,” then the protagonist is ridiculously powerful from the start with everyone losing their intelligence. I'd like some clever mind games instead.
Fully Armored Heavy Cavalry!!!
Please recommend heavy cavalry. I want to see hundreds of heavily armored horsemen smashing through an army of thousands.

My Favorite Historical Novel on Tomato Novel
I'm looking for books like Taking Another Name in Langya. Transmigration isn't a dinner party; it's a deadly game at every turn. The plot should be vivid and interesting, with side characters who are smart. The protagonist should slaughter their way through life-or-death situations. It should be historically accurate, with a natural romance.

There are some places where you can give up your brain. One hundred thousand people can be said to be boundless. The voice of the protagonist can be heard directly by every soldier. It is quite powerful, even stronger than modern ones that use speakers.
Yes, I saw about 280 chapters. It is a good horse-and-slash type book. I haven't seen anything magical so far, only content about hegemony. The writing is very good, and the most important thing is that it is updated very quickly.
Looks good, looks good, looks good, looks good, looks good, looks good, looks good, looks good, looks good
It's good-looking, and it has the foreshadowing of the great voyage. I think I was looking forward to it back then 💕, and the protagonist's starting point is high, which can save a lot of preliminary foreshadowing in other books. Let's fast forward to the beginning of the continental war after ascending the throne 💕💕💕
It's pretty cool. I read a book many years ago, Quan Guo. The first part of the book was good, but I didn't want to read it later. I hope this book maintains its standard, keep up the good work
This book is not recommended to book lovers who are too fussy, nor to book lovers who don't like slow reading. The description is good, but the outline needs to be improved. Too many profiles and descriptions make it boring. Overall not bad Love the slow heat and wonderfully described edibles! 🍉
I'm a bookworm, and I can tell from the rhythm of the plot that this book is well written. As long as there are no overly plot points, this book should be able to maintain a score of 9 or above. Come on, author, you can help me cure my book shortage syndrome.
Interesting, - Identity Counterattack: The starting point of the Duke's son comes with certain resources and class advantages, but it is often set as "not the eldest son", "not valued" and "squeezed out". This not only avoids the excessive hardship of starting at the bottom, but also retains the refreshing feeling of "breaking prejudice and proving yourself", which is in line with Tomato readers' preference for "mid-to-high starting point counterattack". - Plots and wars: The plot mostly revolves around family strife, kingdom disputes, and territorial expansion, interspersed with court plots, military strategies, and power games. The pace is fast and the conflicts are intensive, satisfying readers' expectations of "strategizing and sweeping opponents." - Cheat settings: common systems (such as "empire building system" and "war deduction system"), special bloodline, future memory, etc., Help the protagonist quickly accumulate strength, avoid risks, and enhance the "cheating all the way" enjoyable experience. 2. Plot and character characteristics - Fast pace: Tomato readers prefer "no-peeling" plots. This type of work usually points out conflicts (such as family crisis, external threats) at the beginning. The protagonist acts quickly, gains growth and resources by solving events, and has a clear upgrade line (from family power to kingdom hegemony, to empire unification). -Character creation: The protagonists are mostly set to be "decisive in killing" and "super resourceful", showing both ruthlessness towards enemies and emphasis on cronies, which is in line with the "heroic" character design; supporting roles (such as loyal subordinates, confidants, and hostile forces) are obviously functional and focus on promoting the plot, with relatively low complexity. - World view construction: Mostly use the Western medieval background (nobles, knights, magic/fighting system). The world view is not complicated but has complete elements (kingdom, church, alien forces, etc.), Which is convenient for readers to quickly enter and focus on the main line of the rise of the protagonist. Very good looking brothers
A masterpiece. I haven't read such a good book in a long time.
I used to like watching Chaofan, Xiu Xian, and Western Fantasy because the names were too hard to remember and I didn't have a sense of immersion. Except for this one, this one is really good. Those who like conquering the continent, Loyalty and Glory will be very interested.
