The Young Emperor: Shunzhi

Any Original Stories? I’m Sick of These Same Old Popular Plots

Recommend some fresh, original fantasy novels. No mainstream tropes, no lousy rebirth stories, no urban novels where the protagonist shows off and bumps into a beauty around the corner, and no apocalyptic stories with superpowers or a System. Are there any fantasy novels outside those categories? Ideally, something with a fresh premise and theme.

Completed Stories That Make You Want to Keep Reading

Infinite Evolution, Death Train, Defying the Emperor's Order with Talent, Slay the Gods in the Mental Hospital, those stories about the young masters, Southeast, System... What else is good enough to keep reading without getting annoying?

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...
