Looking for Historical Novels. I Prefer Stories with a Strong Historical Focus
Looking for books like *I Possessed Someone in the Spring and Autumn Period and Became a Lord (A Little Lord of the Spring and Autumn Period)*. Does anyone know any realistic novels like *Life in the Middle Ages*, *A Little Lord of the Spring and Autumn Period*, and *Anxi Army Diary*, with a focus on history, politics, economics, war, and farming?

Nothing with tedious, long-winded prose that makes your brain shrivel up. And please avoid stories where the villains are completely brain-dead.

Historical Fiction That Feels Realistic
No System, and nothing about The Legend of Qin. Just straight historical fiction.

Overlooked Masterpieces
Cultivation, fantasy, or historical fiction are all fine.

Classic, Engaging, No Idiotic Characters, No System, No Showing Off. Anything Else Goes
I don't want that kind of simplistic, amateurish novel.
Alternate History, No System or Golden Finger
I want to read something like Tough Soldiers in the Military Camp. The male lead uses his intelligence and technology to establish his authority, build a nation, and develop it.
Historical Fiction: No Nonsense Allowed
It doesn’t have to be completely historically accurate, but at least don’t make it ridiculous. I want power struggles and political maneuvering that make sense. People shouldn’t just get confused all the time and believe the protagonist at first sight. The language doesn’t need to be perfectly period-appropriate, but please don’t throw in internet slang and memes at every turn.
Historical Fiction That Doesn't Dumb Down the Characters
I want a protagonist with brains

The most touching part of "Cooking Xiaoxian" is not only the troubled times, machinations and dynasty changes, but also the fact that a young man still refuses to give up that "the world should become a better place" even after the mountains and rivers are broken. Liu Yanhun went from the nine-year-old prince of Dali to the markets, theaters and temples of Lin'an. He has seen the overthrow of his motherland, and seen the ups and downs of people's hearts; he has seen how ideals are crushed by reality, and he has also seen how ordinary people continue to live in the ruins after the collapse of order. So he no longer just wanted to suture his own destiny, but wanted to re-write a set of rules for this shaky era. This book is about troubled times, but it is not just about war; it is about political intrigue, but it is not just about the struggle for power. It is more like asking: When the old world is irretrievable, can a person still reimagine a new life by his own will? Those questions about family and country, identity, ideals and choices are particularly moving when placed in a turbulent era. I really like this kind of idealism with a bit of desolation. It is not the passion of "the boy will eventually save the world", but more like knowing that many things cannot be perfected, but still choosing to do something. Mountains and rivers will be broken, old countries will perish, and people often have no control over their destiny, but there are always people who are willing to light a new lamp on top of the ruins. If you like the background of troubled times, growth lines, machinations, and the kind of story where "idealists are repeatedly beaten by the times but are never completely extinguished", "Cooking Xiaoxian" should be very suitable for you. I especially like this quote that sums it up: Some people live in prosperous times and learn how to live; some people live in troubled times and can only learn how to reinvent life.
A very good novel, a book about the Song Dynasty, traveling from Dali, it is indeed a rare idea. The structure of this book is very broad, so you don't have to rush around at the beginning. It has a big structure. I hope to keep it updated and keep writing.
It's well written, but I can't accept criminals.
This title may limit the dissemination of this book! Judging from the preliminary structure, this book is estimated to be over 10,000 pages, no eunuch!
A very good book, worth recommending. Good article on infrastructure
Not a bad choice. Good book
