Recommend Some Worthwhile Ming Dynasty Novels
I’ve read several books about the Ming Dynasty. Overall, they had excellent prose, deep historical knowledge, and well-crafted characters. But a few seem to share the same flaws: too much exposition and overly contrived schemes. Any good recommendations?

An entire neighborhood, city, or apartment building transmigrates to another world. I don’t want the kind where everyone transmigrates individually and has to survive on their own.

Looking for a Grounded, Logically Rigorous Imperial Exam and Farming Novel
I like stories with sound logic, few awful people, no saintly protagonists, and a reasonable, exciting plot. I hate it when awful people cause trouble nonstop but never get punished, as if morality and the law only apply to normal people and not to them!

Historically Accurate, Without Making Things Up
Historical fiction has more room for worldbuilding, with vivid characters and no distortion of history. I want a satisfying read that covers dynasties, major and minor events, wars, and loyal civil and military officials, all presented in a historical setting.
Historical Fiction! The Characters Must Have Brains!!
Are there stories where a modern person transmigrates back to ancient times and uses their profession to make a difference? Like a doctor who transmigrates to the past and advances medicine within the limits of the era, or a modern special forces expert who transmigrates to ancient times and builds an army using modern ideas. Or just invent penicillin or something. From the start, they pull out an AK-47.

It can be said that the word "love" is attached to every sentence, especially family love. Some readers may think that the author has written a little too much, but I think this overly descriptive description can better reflect the difficulty of the Han family in ancient times on the road to the imperial examination, and the difficulty of a family or even a clan supporting scholars. Moreover, the descriptions in the book about how to behave, how to deal with others, etc. Are very realistic. All in all, I think this is an imperial examination article worth reading. Unlike other articles where the protagonist is a young man who is proud of himself, the protagonist in the early part of this book is about an "old man" who finally passed the imperial examination at the age of 42.
I've read dozens of chapters, and I feel pretty good so far. I'll review it after reading it again. After reading Chapter 67, I really couldn't stand it anymore and gave up. New words like cost-effectiveness abounded, and the psychological tone of various characters all had the same style. Anyway, if you are interested in history, don't go overboard. Newbies can just read it as a cool article without being too smart.
It's beautiful. It's rare to see such delicate family affection in imperial examination essays. I burst into tears when I read it (I'm not going to cry for the time being, I'm just moved). However, the traveler skills feel a bit superfluous. It's like cheating suddenly in a documentary, and I failed [face covering]
The author is a bit verbose, but okay, it's quite interesting.
The writing is smooth, and this book is worth reading. There are a little more characters, but the reading is a bit fast and a bit messy. However, the personality of each character is well written and outstanding, and the feelings between the characters are very real.
Not to brag, I was conquered by Chapter 16. I remember when I was a student, on the day of the college entrance examination, I was riding a bus to the examination room. The police car opened the way and the crowd gave way. I really burst into tears at that time. It's not easy, damn
I don't know why it's only rated 6.4. This book is one of the many ancient texts I've read. It's both very resourceful and very touching. It's really highly recommended. I hope the author will keep writing and I'll keep chasing the old Liu family HE! ! Very nice. Please increase the rating quickly!
What a good book that takes us into a more delicate and pyrotechnic micro world. With extremely delicate writing, the author opens a door to the gentry class of the Ming Dynasty for us.
It's beautiful. This is the best novel I've seen in recent years. It has a different perspective and the arrangement of the Transcendents is also very reasonable!
It's a good book. It gets better as you go to the back. It makes me laugh with tears. It's my favorite type. The introduction to the imperial examination system is also very detailed. It's great.
