A Commoner Holds the Imperial Seal, So Let Me Be Rude

Looking for Stories About Campaigning, Rising Through the Ranks From the Bottom, and the Age of Cold Weapons

I'm looking for books like Tang Yin in Another World.

Looking for High-Quality Alternate-History Novels

For example, the Qin and Tang dynasties.

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.

High-Quality Alternate-History Fiction

Wuxia, not xianxia. The protagonist should be a skilled fighter, and it shouldn't be some brainless power fantasy.

Historical Fiction That Feels Realistic

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

Real Political Intrigue Fiction: Nothing Shallow or Brain-Burning, That’s My Taste

Reading this will make you wonder whether you have a brain. Highly, highly recommended. Everyone is smart, and the foreshadowing runs throughout the whole story. Anyway, I didn't understand a thing. It's just satisfying from start to finish. All I can say is the author's writing is insanely good.

Looking for Good Historical Fiction Recommendations!

Anything set in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the Qin and Han dynasties, the Three Kingdoms and Wei-Jin eras, the Tang or Song dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, or the Ming and Qing dynasties. I'll take anything!

Seeking Historical War Stories With No System, Preferably Where the Protagonist Starts From the Bottom

Alternate history or traditional historical fiction. I want characters who use their brains, including the villains. Don't make it feel like child's play.

The Pinnacle of Historical Fiction

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

Wuxia, Court Politics, Scheming, and Alternate History

Traditional wuxia stories where the male lead is powerful and influential, has a hidden faction, roams the martial world, and falls into a love-hate relationship with the female lead.

Looking for High-IQ Alternate-History Novels

High-IQ characters! I want them to be really smart (but not so smart that I can’t keep up).

Looking for Superbly Written Historical Novels!

I've read The Chief Ministers, A Scholar of Superior Character, A First-Rank Official, A Generation's Military Advisor, The Son-in-Law, The Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains, The Unification of the Mountains and Rivers, I Picked Up Qin Shi Huang, The End of Song, New Song, and Joy of Life. Are there any similar novels with a highly intelligent protagonist who plans everything in advance?

Historical Fiction That's More Realistic and Longer, Please

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.

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

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

Any Grand-scale Historical Political Intrigue Novels?

The male and female leads should be smart, not foolish and naive.

Any High-Quality Historical War Novels Like Shao Song?

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

Preferably a historical novel with a realistic feel.

Looking for High-IQ Political Intrigue

Both the male and female leads are intelligent and strategic, while the supporting characters are loyal and warmhearted.

Looking for a Smart, Rational Political Intrigue Novel

No dumbed-down characters, and no using political scheming as a cover for romance. I want a broader scope.

Novels About Scheming and Political Intrigue

Anything is fine as long as it isn't set in modern times.

The Best of the Best in Historical Fiction

Looking for Well-Written Political Intrigue Novels

I want a smart female lead with a high status who knows when to keep a low profile or conceal her abilities 🙈 No scummy fathers and stepmothers, or concubine half-sisters constantly causing petty trouble in the household. No sweet romance, just a pure historical power struggle 🤗

Looking for Pure War Stories Focused on Military Strategy and Tactics
