Historical Fiction: No Nonsense Allowed
It doesn’t have to be completely historically accurate, but at least don’t make it ridiculous. I want power struggles and political maneuvering that make sense. People shouldn’t just get confused all the time and believe the protagonist at first sight. The language doesn’t need to be perfectly period-appropriate, but please don’t throw in internet slang and memes at every turn.
Historically Accurate, Without Making Things Up
Historical fiction has more room for worldbuilding, with vivid characters and no distortion of history. I want a satisfying read that covers dynasties, major and minor events, wars, and loyal civil and military officials, all presented in a historical setting.
Recommend an Incredibly, Incredibly Good Novel
I highly recommend this amazing novel, The White Ring Douluo. It's a fanfic set in Douluo Dalu. See for yourself just how good it is.

It's alright, but overall there are still many shortcomings. The writing was too rushed, resulting in many aspects that are unsatisfactory to both the writer and the reader. The overall control of the plot is not yet adequate, and a deeper understanding of historical facts is needed. But keep going, young man! I don't know how bumpy the road ahead will be, but I just need to move forward! Okay, I'll still give it five stars, since it's my own. 😂
I really enjoy naval warfare games. While pure naval battles can be boring, games that incorporate scientific research and diplomatic relations, like the Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnought, are very fun. This novel is very similar to the Qing Dynasty I've been playing in games, so I felt a strong connection to it. Of course, there are many shortcomings.
It is suggested that the author combine the strengths of all domestic industries. For example, the Jiangnan Arsenal was already capable of mass-producing smokeless gunpowder in 1893 and had already manufactured 120mm, 150mm, and 310mm rapid-fire cannons (related information can be found online).
It's quite good. The new subject matter makes up for the regrets of the First Sino-Japanese War, allowing us to see a different side of the war, and reflecting on the nation's aspirations and the suffering it has caused.
Sun Yat-sen didn't have much influence in his early years, so it was unrealistic for him to rise to a high position immediately after the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty. He lacked merit and fame, which caused resentment within the Beiyang government, especially considering the contributions of other governors-general. Sun Yat-sen's achievements were far greater than those of other key figures, yet his status was still lower than theirs. He only began to wield considerable influence in 1905.
A fresh perspective, paying tribute to that glorious yet tragic history.
The author is great, and I think this kind of subject matter is also very good. Those who like this kind of thing can check it out, read it, and we can also discuss it together. Being a bit of a Monday morning quarterback isn't bad either! 🤔🤔
The naval novel is detailed and doesn't feature an invincible protagonist; occasional errors are to be expected, which is rare.
It's alright, but the technology tree is advancing too fast. Shipbuilding is even more dependent on industrial foundations than automobiles. It requires massive hydraulic presses, other large industrial equipment, and skilled technicians. Without a long period of development, it's simply impossible to build.
A very good naval article, very realistic.
