The Art of Imperial Politics: The Jiajing Era

Looking for Rigorous, High-Quality Historical Fiction Like A Borrowed Surname in Langya

Looking for stories like "The Matter of the Southern Dynasties' Noble Young Master Being an Impostor".

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...

The Protagonist Is an Older Man or an Elderly Person, Anything but a Teenager

Every protagonist in Tomato's novels seems to be a young man, and I'm getting tired of it. Are there any novels with a tough older guy as the protagonist? Any genre is fine, though a realistic post-apocalyptic setting would be ideal. 🤔
