Stories About Transmigrating to the Tang Dynasty Always Make Li Shimin Seem Too Weak
Historically, Li Shimin was a general whose military achievements were so great there was no higher honor left to bestow on him. As a ruler, he had top marks in politics. He did everything from emperor to general and minister, a true all-rounder. I want stories where Li Shimin gets to shine even more.

My Favorite Historical Novel on Tomato Novel
I'm looking for books like Taking Another Name in Langya. Transmigration isn't a dinner party; it's a deadly game at every turn. The plot should be vivid and interesting, with side characters who are smart. The protagonist should slaughter their way through life-or-death situations. It should be historically accurate, with a natural romance.

Recommend Some Good Books with Basic Common Sense
No school or academy settings, school beauties, goddesses, empresses, harems, male-male pairings, saintly heroines, teams where one person drags along several deadweights, or characters who act less than human and look for someone to own them.
Well-Researched Historical Fiction

Brilliant Historical Fiction, Rated 9 or Higher, Meticulously Researched, with a Down-to-Earth Protagonist
I've read a lot of stories like this, even some highly rated ones, but their protagonists all seem to have an arrogant, godlike perspective. Since they know how things unfold and how they end, they spoil everything for the locals and act smug about it. It's really uncomfortable, and they show no respect for history.

To be honest, the character design and the writing style are generally very eye-catching. Although the template is a bit crappy, it finally has a different flavor. The character design is too much for my liking. I hope the heroine will have more confidantes!
An introverted, socially fearful person slowly changes himself and adapts to this dynasty. It is quite beautiful, and he slowly advances step by step. I don't know if there is CP? It feels better without CP! [Please update]
The writing in the Tang Dynasty novel is pretty good, without the rhinoceros girl, but there are still some characters that cannot be avoided, which is unavoidable. The advantages are obvious, the characters are lonely and growing, and the literary and drama stories are written with care. There are some shortcomings. It does lack some mistakes, but they are innocuous. It takes time to write some details. In addition, I hope the author will appear more in the comment area to communicate with friends. Five stars encourage me. The score is too low.
It was pretty good to watch, but I couldn't watch the emotional scenes, so I saw that Cheng Yaojin and the others were going to tell the protagonist where to kiss. The previous ones are okay, although there are some unreasonable things, but they are not big problems. I just like to see the protagonist pretending to be in time, and of course he has to pretend to be big. The author also did a good job in changing the poems and lyrics, and they all fit the context.
I have read more than 100 chapters so far, and I would like to share my own opinion. The protagonist is an extremely autistic person, and his goal is to survive. But in my opinion, the word "survive" is not quite correct. To live a humble and oppressed life, the male protagonist already has a title, and has caught Li Shimin's eyes. If such a person still wants to pursue "exile", I think it is abnormal. As a modern person, what we should pursue is to live like a commoner, to pursue a plain and ordinary life. Secondly, I think the protagonist's behavior is illogical. People who are autistic and sociophobic will not take the initiative to share their thoughts. Without someone to push them, they will never get out. Now let's look at the protagonist's behavior. In order to leave the military camp, he wrote several anti-epidemic pamphlets. In order to avoid persecution from aristocratic families, he dedicated the method of making salt. Li Shimin wanted to improve farm tools, so he presented the Quyuan plow the next day and other incidents. The protagonist's behavioral logic and inner character have a strong sense of separation. People in the world act for fame and fortune, but I can't see what the protagonist wants. The reward performance afterwards is also frightening. Every time he does something, he regrets it and will continue next time. If some events do not change the protagonist's inner nature, all his suggestions are abnormal. It is normal to do nothing if he really wants to survive. Overall, the setting is a bit novel, but the plot layout is a bit poor. Good use of clichéd events will have miraculous effects, otherwise it will be just cliché. In short, 4 stars are for encouragement, and I hope that the subsequent stories can be more exciting.
Living in the Tang Dynasty Written by Mustard Boat It's not a cookie-cutter plot. If there is something fresh, you can watch it. In terms of characters, the protagonist is a real social terror. Well, a little morbid. So although the images of the characters are much more vivid, they are not immersed in them and there is no feeling when reading them? For me. Four to four and a half stars. Should be a good story.
I have read the latest chapter, and I feel that the change in the protagonist's mentality is very helpless, but I also understand that I don't know when I can take revenge on Brother Niu. I am so angry with Cui, but I understand that there is nothing I can do about it. Looking forward to the future development is generally very good, and I am also itching to see the protagonist get married.
This is my first review. I don't know what to say. I just read Chapter 10. The summary is that the characters are clearly depicted in literature and science. The most important thing is that the details are very vivid. The current score is a bit low. I personally think it is not inferior to Mao's Surname Langya.
After reading Chapter 255, the characters have their own characteristics and the storyline unfolds reasonably, which feels good. Five-star praise. I rarely make it to the present in one sitting, and most of them give up after 100 chapters. This book is unique in its writing techniques. I think this is how ordinary little people should travel through time travel. When I saw Chapter 342, the content was a bit lagging. The author started to write about the feelings of family and country, preventing the export of technology, etc. Every time I read time-travel novels, I admire this approach of wanting to change history, but no one can change history. Time travel novels are either purely enjoyable novels, or they are about living oneself. Otherwise, both ends will be displeased.
It feels a bit like when I first watched "Tang Brick"! It's just that the protagonist's personality is a bit unlikable, I hope it can improve in the future
