Help, I'm Out of Books to Read
Looking for books like "The Wildest Little Savior Squad, Pummeling the World Online". Any fun, lighthearted comedies? Any genre is fine, but I want a strong female lead and no romance. She can be self-serving or put the country first, as long as it's a good read.
I'm Really in a Reading Slump... 😭😭😭
Give me some quality reads, anything goes.

A rare book! You need to calm down and read slowly! Unlike ordinary time travel novels, this book describes the basic operating rules of feudal society! The author's foundation is solid! You should have consulted a lot of historical materials! Five-star praise
There was really no way out for the refugees in the Ming Dynasty... It was just too realistic, the King of Hell was broken, it was amazing [shocked] I've finished reading the first one now, and I've read it again and the author has something to say, so I'll write a long review. First let me complain about which unreleased chapters can actually be released, such as Yu Pu Xi Litigation..., It sounds good 🤔. Returning to this book, I was deeply impressed. For example, the concept of "Seven Steps for Official Ceremony" is not a simple bridge design, but a literary condensation of the Ming Dynasty's patriarchal ritual system and the five discussions and seven remonstrance procedures. This stroke is almost equivalent to the reverse writing of Cao Zhi's "seven-step poem", which is more like a literary creation. In addition, at the beginning of the ancestral hall, colors, such as green clothes, and halos, such as yin and sunshine, hint at loyalty and traitors and the fate of the characters. In the whole book, no character speaks outside of their identity, and no one is cheating for no reason - everyone is using their status to make a living, or even survive. In the final scolding stage, there was no "if you win the argument, you lose" type of rhetoric. It is still recommended to read this book calmly!
The plot is tortuous and not vulgar. The author has a solid historical background and is not verbose. After a few chapters, I felt depressed and heartbroken. Looking forward to the development of the protagonist in the subsequent story, how to break out of the dense clan cage and the chasm-like class identity.
Writing about people, events, and fates is a different kind of time travel. You can see it and integrate it into your own life. It's not like an online novel, but more like a literary work.
I think this is Tomato's most realistic time travel story in the late Ming Dynasty. The low rating is probably because most people on Tomato like to read cool stories. Because it's real, it won't be a cool story. Moreover, the author's emotional lines are also very good and he has a solid foundation.
The author's history of refugees in the late Ming Dynasty is based on detailed historical materials and archives of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The research and explanation are clear and the descriptions are orderly. Breaking away from the inherent conventions of time-travel novels, the life of the homeless people described is as low as slaves. The only thing that is debatable is the historical data, which is stuck on paper. The documents left in different periods and regions are not historical writings, but actual swords and pens, official and private documents, which are complicated and difficult to distinguish. There are also many bamboo slips of the Qin and Han Dynasties. Or more trustworthy to readers. What happened to the refugees in the late Ming Dynasty was closely related to the profit-sharing methods formed by the officialdom, warriors, gentry, and economic and political interests of the local herdsmen! The only thing that can be confirmed is that all the links in the book are closely linked, and the control over the place is so powerful, maybe it really exists. It's reasonable. It can only be said that each node is true and the novel is based on historical materials. You should have the ability to discern. Dingji: This is not a fake Ming Dynasty.
I have read 8 chapters so far. The writing style is really excellent and the author is very talented. Because it is realistic, it seems quite depressing. I think people who read cool and mindless stories will not like it! It seems that the score is too low to be honest, and I feel very sorry for the author, so I would like to give you a five-star review first! The author has a very professional understanding of the Ming Dynasty! Ordinary people have no idea about the twists and turns at the bottom!!! Including me who thought I knew the history of the Ming Dynasty very well 😂😂😂
The author has a very detailed description of the hidden social rules of the late Ming Dynasty, the culture of clan ancestral halls, and the living environment of refugees. Through the protagonist's difficult survival, it not only describes the difficulties of the people at the bottom, but also does not deliberately blame others: in this world that seems to have been programmed, all encounters are both unacceptable but "reasonable". Because this is how the world is. As a small individual, you have no choice in this huge society and can only passively accept everything!
It's very interesting. Cultural workers should be educated. This author is like this. It's not a cool novel, but the writing style is very good. The low score may be because it's not a cool novel. I read the novel about Langya before and I think the two authors are quite similar. What they write is not groundless. It can be seen that the author has put in the effort, but the other one is more catered to the public taste. It has hardships but is more of a cool novel with a male protagonist. If the author loves writing, he can write more articles like this. Shorter ones are fine, but reading seems to be related to money. It's okay to write something that appeals to the general public, but who knows, some books may suddenly become popular as long as they sit around.
The author has profound writing skills and a solid reserve of historical knowledge. The environment and characters are well contrasted, and he has a good grasp of people's hearts. People who just want to read cool articles may be disappointed. Come on author, well written
