New Books Only! The More Underrated, the Better!
Any new book will do. I’m open to anything, especially books that haven’t gotten much attention. It’s hard being a new author, so let’s not leave them writing to an empty room, okay?
Has Everyone Noticed That Tomato Has Added So Many New Books? The Quality Is Really OK 👀
New Authors (Warning! Don't Recommend Works by Big Names.)
I want to discover authors who haven’t received much attention.
Desperately Short on Historical Fiction, Please Recommend Some to Save Me From This Reading Drought
Preferably a historical novel with a realistic feel.
Looking for Historical Fiction, Nothing Stupid
Brothers, These Historical What-If Novels Are Guaranteed to Be a Blast
To help everyone get their fill of history, I'm recommending a few satisfying historical novels. My friends all say they're amazing! I picked every one of these myself, so give them a try!
Looking for Historical Fiction with Smart Characters
The protagonist and the emperor are brothers, and the protagonist wields immense power. Everyday comedy.
Historical Stories (Any Dynasty, No System, and with Intelligent Characters)
Looking for books like "The Glory of the Great Wei". Historical novels with some brains behind them. Read too many mindless wish-fulfillment stories and they’ll rot your mind.
High-Quality Historical Novels
There Are Hardly Any Great Historical Novels These Days. Disagree? Come Debate Me
The protagonist should not be sanctimonious, and the novel should not be mindless.
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...
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.
Historical Novels You Absolutely Can't Miss!!!
What? He gets to be a dad after being reborn? A soft, adorable little girl keeps chasing him and calling him Daddy? What? Qin Shi Huang, who's lived for two hundred years, keeps chasing after him, desperate to take him as his apprentice and learn the art of immortality? From the Great Xia Kingdom's top soldier to the Prince of Changyi!
Great Historical Fiction
Are There Any Historical Novels That Don't Vilify Historical Figures?
Think about it: how could anyone who made a name for themselves in the history books be a pushover, easily manipulated by just any modern person who traveled back in time? Even in fiction, are there any historical novels that are at least a little realistic and make some sense?
Is There Really Not a Single Good Historical Novel on Tomato?
Look at the novels next door. They've got history and a story to tell. Is Tomato really this bad??? Recommend a few already. I'm seriously out of books to read!
Historical Livestream Stories Always Praise the Ancients. Are There Any That Criticize Them?
Any Watch-Along Fics Where They Just Watch the Sky Screen Without Interacting?
I don't want to see the protagonist interact with historical figures. I only want the sky screen, with people from the past learning useful things or knowledge from it, so they can help the people and prevent regrets from happening. They shouldn't be given things directly, either. They should make gradual, practical progress.
Are There Really No Historical Livestream Stories Worth Reading?
I like stories about livestreaming to historical figures, but I don't like it when the streamer knows who the viewers are. If it's purely about history, the protagonist needs to have a central argument of their own, enough to get some views in Bilibili's knowledge section, rather than simply retelling stories. The reaction should logically show the emperor...
In a Reading Slump, Looking for Historical Fiction
Looking for books similar to "Auto Chess: Every Move I Make Is China".
Looking for Historical Reaction Stories with a Historically Rigorous Perspective, Thank You
For example, Starting with Emperor Jing’s Reaction Watch. I’d prefer no romance, or a historical figure as the protagonist.
Sky Screen Stories, History Only, and Keep It Rigorous
Looking for books like A Roundup: Asian Governor Li Shimin Stuns Every Dynasty.
Any Books Like Taking Stock of History’s Unfulfilled Regrets? Please!!!
Looking for books similar to "A Roll Call of History's Greatest Regrets: The Emperors Burst into Tears".

Finally, someone isn't mindlessly praising the First Emperor and Zhu Yuanzhang.
A breath of fresh air! The emperor is no longer addressed as "ancestor," but rather with a realistic affirmation and critique, neither one-sided praise nor one-sided slander. It is rare to find a historical account that pays such close attention to authenticity. It does not unilaterally slander the Qing emperors, nor does it praise the Ming dynasty.
It's alright, but the evaluation of Qin Shi Huang is too lenient. If we really want to analyze his standardization of cart axles, writing system, and post roads, those were all initiated by the Duke of Zhou. The completion of these systems didn't happen until the Eastern Han Dynasty. Qin Shi Huang's role was more transitional; it was the Zhou rites established by the Duke of Zhou that laid the foundation for Chinese civilization.
Take a look, everyone. This is a comment from a woman I met on Douyin a few days ago who's been praising the Qin Dynasty. This woman is very arrogant. She had some information with her, thinking I didn't have much to offer. She posted that piece of information and said it was the end of the game. But when I showed her some historical materials and papers, she was dumbfounded for a while.
People who like the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties are quite eccentric.
The writing is relatively objective, without excessively praising or belittling any historical figure.
The author writes very objectively. Although there are still many points worth discussing, it is a rare gem in today's online environment where most discussions of history are dominated by extreme fans or nationalists. It is evident that the author conducted extensive research in order to write this book, demonstrating a wealth of historical knowledge and a very rational attitude towards history. This is a masterpiece that comes along only once in a century.
Just the fact that you're not like most Tianmu novels, who just blindly praise everything, is enough.
I feel you could write more advanced questions to inspire the ancients. Many wise and virtuous rulers, their merits and demerits, were sometimes influenced by luck, geographical factors, natural disasters, and ice ages. We need to broaden the perspectives of the ancients. Many mistakes, without strong enemies to help them, can easily escalate.
A good book. The only downside is that the author is too civilized and friendly, able to peacefully negotiate even when faced with inhuman language…
