This Is More of a Discussion Thread: The Highest-Quality Historical Novels Are on Tomato Novel
I've been using Tomato for a while. It's a hub for lightweight novels to pass the time, and quality gems are rare. Overall, historical fiction has the highest average quality. Plenty of books have flaws, but you can tell the authors put in real effort. Most of the books I've finished have been historical fiction.

This book is the most realistic description of the bottom class among the historical novels I have ever read. It successfully embodies the purgatory of ordinary people as referred to by "Better to be a peace dog than a chaotic person". For example, during the siege, thousands of living people were reduced to corpses filling the trenches under the city with a military order from the superiors; the details of the work are also well-depicted, such as the psychological activities of the supporting characters and the motivations behind them, making them vivid on the page; finally, the protagonist has correct views, is an absolute successor to socialism and communism, acts with both thunderous means and bodhisattva heart, and has a clear stand for the people. No flaws have been found in the book so far, and it deserves full marks.
I can't give this book 9.9 Points. It's too detailed. It's obviously a single male protagonist, but it's like a group portrait. Everyone has a sense of involvement. No one is stupid. Everyone has their own calculations. The author brings the characters to life.
I like this book very much, the writing style is comfortable and very touching. The male protagonist is smart and dares to do things; the female protagonist is really amazing to me. She is not awakened because of her awakening, but "awakened" because she is smart and has a brain to analyze and think. She is decisive and tenacious, sober and self-aware. Wow! I've decided on this book, it's so good! Big cheers for the author!!! 💕💕💕 Just for some comments: That's not fish bones, it's fairy brew! If you don't show up early, then it will be a harem, or if you have a successful career and meet a male protagonist who admires you? 😂 Do you really want to have love without anything? It's unrealistic even in a dream [laughs evilly] Now the heroine is just a smart person who can use her brain. She has become a stereotype and smart people have no way to survive. I looked at you earlier and thought it was some kind of unbearable "fishbone". Go in and try it, and the result is exactly the opposite. It's too harsh to criticize the heroines in this type of book. They can't compare to this. I don't know if there are specialties in the arts! I'm convinced and stressed by the stereotype. All smart people in the world are stereotyped. Who has this stereotype in their mind? People are diverse, and the author describes some of them wonderfully, but ends up with one sentence of stereotypes. I'm convinced, there may be some people who can't even compare to the heroine's father 🤔
This book can filter many people. Here, people are dying of hunger everywhere and wars are in chaos. The scholar just wants to get his brothers, living and dead, to have a good meal and watch the world compete with each other. Because what the protagonist wants is not to unify the nine states, but to settle down and live in peace. [The protagonist does hold military power privately] There is a female protagonist and a single female protagonist. The female protagonist can be regarded as a Gone with the Wind. The female protagonist proposed [marriage] as the only daughter of the county magistrate. Because the heroine's intelligence and courage helped the male protagonist overcome the county magistrate's hurdle in the early stage, allowing both parties to stop fighting and use force. There are technologies and techniques from time travel, but they are not abused, but some steps are a bit fast. The disadvantage is that the data is not very rigorous and there are several inconsistent counting flaws. Finally, I would like to advise you to have a degree in everything. If you have any objections to this female protagonist, why can't she be the wife of a general who goes through fire and water, dares to love and hate, and even directly challenges the male protagonist? If you have a partner who will support you at all costs, how can you refuse? Unless you are rotten in your bones, otherwise I think this kind of girl must not be let down.
This "visionary" plot in Chapter 42 is a rare passage in the time-travel genre that breaks out of the "inertia of cool writing" and has a depth of historical speculation. It has solid highlights from conception, characters, narrative to ideological core: the core exciting point of most time-traveling stories is that the protagonist uses modern technology to reduce the dimensionality of ancient society and quickly accumulate wealth. But this episode goes in the opposite direction - the protagonist holds a new textile machine that is more than ten times more efficient, but actively chooses to block the technology and limit output. It does not equate "advanced technology" with absolute benefits, but raises a more realistic question: Can a traditional agricultural society sustain radical industrial technological changes? This question itself makes the plot break away from low-level excitement and gain the weight of historical thinking.
It must be 5 stars. It is definitely one of the best in this genre. You can't tell the story behind it at a glance. The plot is arranged just right. There is no hesitation or confusion.
It took me three days to read this in one breath, and it was very enjoyable; I followed the protagonist step by step from a refugee who was about to die to the current master of the two counties. There were powerful people in the process, infrastructure, and farming. It was very natural that they harmonized with each other. Each character has his own flesh-and-blood life, which is also very representative, with both fireworks and murderous atmosphere. It makes people can't help but read on. Great, cheers author! See you at the end, otherwise it really won't be satisfying.
A very interesting plot novel! The protagonist and the family are not simply good and evil! It's just that their respective interests and goals are different! It's not like those mind-numbing novels where the commanders of the three armies confront each other and kill them! A real battle between large armies! It's not the so-called domineering and tyrannical style of writing where all the capable people and strangers bow their heads and worship! Basically, every interest appeal is very real! Nor are they some losers dreaming about playing with women every day under the guise of fighting for hegemony! Overall, this is a novel that is very close to reality! However, it may be a bit procrastinating for some people who like to watch sperms that play with women every day! Nor are they those who like mindless novels where the main character kills thousands of people by himself! But I love it! Reminder 😄
Can the author update the book by 100,000 yuan a day? It's not enough to read. I'm so worried. This book is so good. I feel like it's not a purely enjoyable book. It's more about the struggles of small characters. The supporting characters are also written like the protagonist. It feels like a group portrait in troubled times. I'll point out a few people whose personalities I like very much. The protagonist Gu Huai was in that kind of crisis from the beginning. To be honest, I was nervous for him. It was quite embarrassing to watch him resolve more and more threats later. He is indeed a very qualified protagonist. I feel that he is really perfect. I like the single female protagonist and the female protagonist is also very strong. Lu Chen, this man is a complete military genius. It is so funny to be with Xuan Songzi and Gu Huai. He often calls Xuan Songzi a fool. Xuan Songzi, this Taoist priest is as wise as he is foolish, and often chirps some very funny things. There is black humor in this dark troubled world. When we first met him, he thought he was just an ordinary magic stick. After observing him later, he really couldn't bear to see so many people displaced. The most impressive thing was that he wore this big red robe and a forehead wiper and became the red-browed saint. Xu Liang, he has kindness and filial piety in his heart, and he is also very vicious in his schemes. Every time I see his name, I think of Zhang Liang, so I have a good impression of him. In this book, there are many supporting characters who reflect on the reforms brought about by the protagonist. They are very different people, bringing vitality and survival to troubled times step by step. I hope there will be more and more characters I like in the future, and the author will update it soon!!!
The male protagonist has a very good way of doing things. He does small things carefully and has a vision for big things. He is flexible and has a bottom line. He is gentle when he should be gentle and ruthless when he should be ruthless. Everyone is very three-dimensional. The heroine is also smart, has a sense of the overall situation, is decisive, and has a good personality.
