Great Sui: Li Shimin and I Fight for the World

The Best Historical Novels From Every Dynasty

Preferably a book rated above 9.

Historical Fiction That Feels Realistic

No System, and nothing about The Legend of Qin. Just straight historical fiction.

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.

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

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

Looking for High-Quality Historical Fiction!

Looking for Historical Novels Rated 9.4 or Higher on Tomato

Historical Fiction That Doesn't Dumb Down the Characters

I want a protagonist with brains

Alternate History With No System and Meticulous Historical Research

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!

Meticulously Researched Historical Fiction

A twisting, suspenseful plot, a protagonist who's not an idiot, and something I can learn from while reading. Ideally, it should be close to real history.

Looking for Historical Fiction with Smart Characters

The protagonist and the emperor are brothers, and the protagonist wields immense power. Everyday comedy.

My Five Favorite Historical Novels

Honestly, Li Qiu Is Absolutely Unmatched in Tang Dynasty Stories

The way he portrays Changsun Wuji is so true to life. He's an uncle who serves his country, its people, his family, and his clan. This is the most realistic portrayal of Chancellor Changsun I've ever seen.

Looking for Sui-Tang Stories with Unmatched Strength. Mythology Is Fine or Not, but Ideally the Protagonist Supports the Sui Dynasty

Looking for a Sui-Tang-era novel where the protagonist is even more powerful than Li Yuanba. Ideally, he protects the Sui dynasty and completely wipes out the foreign tribes.
