Share your favorite historical novels, whether they have fantasy elements or not. Let's talk about them.

Any Political Fiction Rated 9.0 or Higher? I've Read All the Good Ones 😤😤

Great Books That Can Open Your Eyes to Life

A book that will make you feel like you've had an epiphany about life!

Historical Fiction That's More Realistic and Longer, Please

Please Recommend High-Quality Political Intrigue

I'm looking for books like "The Jin Army Besieges the City: Reborn as Emperor Qinzong of Song". The male lead can transmigrate into the past as an official or an emperor, or rise up from the bottom through the imperial exams. I'm open to anything, but I'd like genuine political intrigue and an accurate historical setting. Something like "Sword Snow Stride" or "Celebrating the New Year".

I Can't Believe Historical Fiction Writers Can Be This Good

A fact-based educational book written using sources from official history, but not boring!

What’s the Most Popular Historical Novel on Tomato Novel?

I want something like Claiming the Surname Zhuge: Vast Heavens, Rebuild the Han Dynasty!

Novels Suitable for Older Readers

Books suitable for older readers to listen to.

Feel-Good Historical Fiction

Historical power fantasies with a System.

Top-Tier Political Intrigue Novels

Modern or alternate-history settings are both fine, as long as they feature top-tier strategic maneuvering. I just want political intrigue, strategy, and workplace or officialdom drama.

The Best of the Best in Historical Fiction

My Five Favorite Historical Novels

The Rankings Appear, and the Protagonist Is Exposed

Stories Where the Protagonist Plays Anime Characters Who Get Summoned, Currently Ongoing, 100,000+ Words

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.

High-Quality Novels Rated 9.5 or Above on Tomato

Political Intrigue, High Quality, Historical

Looking for books like "My Father Is Emperor Wu of Han!" Nothing rated below 9.0, please. I'm in a serious reading slump.

There Are Hardly Any Good Historical Novels! Come Debate Me

Low EQ: I want a good novel. High EQ: Prove me wrong

Top-Tier Political Intrigue

Looking for books similar to "I Heard the Ruthless Regent Secretly Loved Me." Please recommend top-tier ancient-setting stories about a female protagonist and extreme political intrigue.

For Middle-Aged Readers: Smart Characters, No Goody-Two-Shoes, Decisive and Ruthless, Highly Rated

Urban, System, reborn, fantasy, or gaming novels are all fine, as long as they’re good, the characters are smart, and there’s no saintly protagonist. Bring out any books on your shelf that fit the bill!

Looking for a Kindhearted Protagonist Who Helps the Suffering

I want something with a strong sense of purpose, preferably with no romance. The characters should be kind, thoughtful, and driven by a desire for revenge. They should dare to speak, act, and dream, and not waste time on empty gestures. Any gender is fine. It could be about love of country, another nation, the world, or liberation. Give me something good.

After Reading Novels for Seven Years, I Can't Get Into Anything, So I'm Looking for Something Fresh and Different

Recommend Books Rated Above 9.8 That Are Worth Reading at Least Twice

Male- or female-targeted novels are both fine.
