White Horse Treading on New Frost

I’m Out of Books to Read. Recommend Something Original; I’m Tired of All the Formulaic Stories

Looking for something like The Boss Is Insanely Cunning, and So Is My System. An original premise, a protagonist who isn't an idiot, and no major deal-breakers. The kind you can stay up all night reading.

Ensemble Casts!!! Ensemble Casts!!! Ensemble Casts!!!!!

Looking for books like "The Wildest Little Savior Squad, Online to Elbow-Strike the World". I'll always love ensemble casts. A story about a group of people somehow feels more compelling than a story about one person. What brings a story to life is never just one person, but a whole group.

Looking for Great Historical Novels Worthy of Classic Status

A Book I’ve Never Been Willing to Delete From My Bookshelf

I want to read something similar to Rose Life: La Vie en Rose. Something like Rose Life: La Vie en Rose, with beautiful writing, high quality, and the kind of story that completely hooks you!

Modern Historical Fiction Has Almost No Gems. Disagree? Come Debate Me

The protagonist should not be sanctimonious, and the novel should not be mindless.

Beginners Stay Out, 2,000+ Hours Required

No amateurish writing. Ideally one heroine, and preferably mature content. A System is fine if it plays only a minor role.

High-Quality Alternate-History Fiction

Court politics, the martial world, wuxia, political intrigue, romance...

Desperately Short on Historical Fiction, Please Recommend Some to Save Me From This Reading Drought

Preferably a historical novel with a realistic feel.

Recommend Historical Fiction Set in Ancient Times Rated 9.8 or Higher

Looking for highly rated novels about a female lead who transmigrates into ancient Chinese history. Ideally, the male lead should be a powerful figure with high status.

I’ve Recently Gotten into Jianghu Stories: A Band of Young Adventurers Roaming the Martial World

Ensemble Cultivation Story About a Group of Exceptionally Talented Youngsters from Great Families

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...

In a Reading Slump, Looking for Masterpieces That’ll Blow My Mind

I'm looking for stories like "I've Been Possessed for 90,000 Years". Nothing brainless or dumbed down; fresh ideas, any genre, exciting, funny, scheming, or imaginative, all welcome.

Looking for a Truly Satisfying Power Fantasy, Not a Frustrating Story Masquerading as One.

Looking for Funny Ensemble Stories with Passionate, Free-Spirited Youth, Strong Friendships, and a Little Romance

Looking for a Wuxia Novel About Wandering the Martial World Freely and Carelessly

No joining the imperial court as an official, especially not as a secret-police guard or an Eastern Depot agent. I just want someone roaming the martial world, free and carefree.

Ensemble Cultivation Novels: I Really Want to Read About a Bunch of Spirited Young People

One Sword's Frost Chills Fourteen Continents! A Dashing Cast Ensemble in a Cultivation Story

I want to read something similar to "The Junior Sister Is Obviously Overpowered but Excessively Goofy (Crossing the Galaxy with One Sword)." "Three thousand guests fill the hall with flowery words; one sword's frosty chill spans fourteen continents." A proud, spirited protagonist group, bold and unrestrained. An ensemble cultivation story. Romance is optional!!! The protagonist...

Looking for Stories About the Jianghu, Where Both the Hero and Heroine Are Renowned and Powerful

I've read too many stories about court intrigue, so now I want to read about a man and woman traveling through the martial world and building up considerable influence, with plenty of secret identities and the like. No tragic romance, and no misunderstandings. The male lead can be absent too. I like strong female leads and historical romance.

Ensemble Casts, Give Me a Lively Ensemble Cast

Looking for stories like Junior Sister Cries and Snivels, but One Sword Can Destroy Heaven and Earth. I want a sect with both men and women, not one made up entirely of senior brothers. I want the whole sect to act together as a team, with both male and female members.

Historical Fiction Set in an Imaginary Ancient World, No System

No System, no System, no System. Thanks, everyone.

Looking for Stories About Young Heroes Roaming the Jianghu

Lately, I hardly ever see stories about spirited young heroes adventuring through the martial world, living freely and having a great time. Instead, it's always novels about transmigrating into a book and cultivating. I'm getting tired of them. Please recommend something that isn't about cultivation, just a story set in the world of martial arts and the jianghu.

The Jianghu in a Young Man's Heart Is All Dashing Heroes, Fine Clothes, and Wild Rides Across the Land

Once matters here are settled, we will meet again in the martial world. One smile wipes away old grudges, and one sword cuts down every injustice under heaven.

Historical Fiction Set in Ancient China
