This Is More of a Discussion Thread: The Highest-Quality Historical Novels Are on Tomato Novel
I've been using Tomato for a while. It's a hub for lightweight novels to pass the time, and quality gems are rare. Overall, historical fiction has the highest average quality. Plenty of books have flaws, but you can tell the authors put in real effort. Most of the books I've finished have been historical fiction.
Looking for Rigorous, High-Quality Historical Fiction Like A Borrowed Surname in Langya
Looking for stories like "The Matter of the Southern Dynasties' Noble Young Master Being an Impostor".
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...
Transcribing Famous Works with Taste
I'm looking for novels by a literary copycat, set in ancient times, the Republican era, or modern times. The lead can be male or female. I'd like something with a bit more taste. I'm tired of stories where they just write pop songs or shoot commercial films, or come up with some lines like, “One petal, two petals, three or four petals.” Are you telling me Han Yu, Su Shi, Du Fu, and Lu Xun never existed?

Recommend Some Good Books with Basic Common Sense
No school or academy settings, school beauties, goddesses, empresses, harems, male-male pairings, saintly heroines, teams where one person drags along several deadweights, or characters who act less than human and look for someone to own them.
Looking for Stories About Father-Son Affection, Preferably Set in a Feudal Dynasty
❶ A Fiction-Writer Protagonist, Depressing Themes, Native Characters Breaking Down, Good Writing, No CP
Looking for a Book with a Strong Sense of History
I hope it’s based on real ancient history, whether Chinese or foreign. Transmigration and rebirth are fine. A male point of view is okay, but a female point of view would be even better.
Alternate History, Political Scheming, and Struggles for Supremacy!
Traditional historical fiction. No System, no transmigration, and no plagiarizing ancient poetry!

Super good! 😘 There aren't many novels about Su Dongpo, and even fewer that connect him to Li Qingzhao and Zhao Ji. I was drawn in by this rare setting. Su Dongpo's character is especially well-developed, perfectly matching my image of him. It would be even better if the father-son relationship could be explored more (I really love this one).
The author's writing style is good and rigorous; you can learn a lot from reading this book. The protagonist's career progresses well, but the romance is progressing a bit too slowly. [Requesting more updates!]
This is a wonderful book. I took physics and chemistry in high school and am currently studying a science major, so I really enjoy reading stories about people in ancient times using advanced technology, systems, or ideas to change the world. However, this book doesn't portray the protagonist as a perfect political figure from the start, conforming to the ideal of ancient society.
Okay, having read the whole thing in one go, first of all, this is a very high-quality book. The author put in a tremendous amount of effort, and the various background details are very well-developed; that alone deserves five stars. Then there's the protagonist's characterization.
I caught up in an afternoon, it was so satisfying! 👍 The protagonist has a great personality, intelligent and tactful, and polite (this seems insignificant, but many protagonists in historical novels really lack this 🤦). Also, this isn't the kind of story where the protagonist is the smartest in the entire book; the protagonist also has moments of confusion and needs guidance from those around…
Having read over 180 chapters, here are my personal impressions. I was drawn in by the title and specifically by the three figures mentioned above, but so far, aside from Su Shi, the other two have received very little attention. I can imagine some readers reading dozens of chapters only to find Li Qingzhao gone, or hundreds of chapters only to find Prince Duan gone through letters.
This book is hardcore and realistic, with the author having consulted numerous historical materials. In this era of fast-paced literature and short video novels, it stands out as quite unconventional. However, the personalities of each main character are historically accurate, and they are not merely puppets of the protagonist.
The author writes exceptionally well; the poems and lyrics are all based on historical fact and have verifiable sources. The author is incredibly knowledgeable, having spent considerable time researching historical classics. The protagonist is the best-written character I've encountered in years—no system, no cheat codes, relying entirely on his own efforts to bring blessings to the world and its…
It's pretty good. A well-written plot makes for a great novel! There are no random adjectives... The only thing I didn't like was that the protagonist was too young, the pacing was slow, and there was too little interaction between the protagonist and Li Qingzhao... I felt cheated!
It's a mid-to-high-quality historical fiction by Tomato, a niche, high-quality historical research-focused time-travel story set in the Song Dynasty, with very distinct strengths and weaknesses. It doesn't rely on formulaic, fast-paced plots to attract readers; instead, it wins over readers with solid historical materials, well-developed historical figures, and heartwarming stories about scholars.
