I’ve Lost All Desire to Read 😭
New Writers Are Getting Better and Better
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*.
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.
Are There Really No High-Quality Women’s Fiction Books Anymore?
Looking for books similar to *Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty of a Villainous Cannon Fodder*. I’m so frustrated. Some quick-transmigration authors really don’t understand what quick transmigration means, and drag a single arc out for a hundred chapters. I hope someone can recommend some fast-paced, high-quality stories with no romance. No number one...
High Intelligence, Cunning Plans, Masterful Schemes, Treating the World Like a Chessboard
Looking for a novel with a protagonist like Murong Li from The Legend of Qin: someone who treats the world as a chessboard and all living beings as pieces, plans everything out, and plays life like a game, but is willing to become a piece on the board himself when necessary.
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...
Historical Stories (Any Dynasty, No System, and with Intelligent Characters)
Looking for books like *The Glory of the Great Wei*. Historical novels with some brains behind them. Read too many mindless wish-fulfillment stories and they’ll rot your mind.
The Genre Doesn’t Matter. Just Give Me Something with Smart Characters
I won't say more. You'll understand.
Looking for Strong Female Leads Who Truly Support Other Women! No Catfights, No Stupid Female Villains
Some strong female lead stories are obsessed with throwing in clichéd rivalry between women and brainless female villains. I've had enough! Please recommend stories with genuinely woman-loving strong female leads! Romance is fine, but it mustn't take over the story!
It’s 2026, Are There Any Fresh Female-Audience Novels? Extremely Female-Lead-Centric
I Want an Ensemble Cast, Not a Beloved Darling or a Little Junior Sister Surrounded by Senior Brothers
Looking for books similar to *Senior Sister, Stop Pretending. You're the Tightest-Lipped Person in the Sect*. Not male-male or female-male romance, not a harem rivalry among men or women, but an ensemble cultivation story about men and women from the same or different sects.
High-IQ Alternate-History Novels
I want something with intelligent characters. No stories that rub my nose in how stupid I am, even if I’m not exactly a genius.
Looking for Novels with a Naturally Brilliant, Machiavellian Heroine!!!
High-IQ Historical Alternate-World Novels Without a System, Tang, Song, or Ming Are All Fine
I've Been Reading Novels for Over Ten Years, but Now I Can't Get Into Most of Them
I’ve been reading novels for over a decade, and these days I can barely get through most of them. Please recommend something fresh and unusual.
Tired of Courts Full of Treacherous Officials: Give Me a Loyal Court from the Start
Not a court full of corrupt officials, please. There are too many of those. I want to read about a court full of loyal ministers.
Nurturing Promising New Books, No Older Books Please
No old books, please. I want to see which new books have potential! Anything the poster has liked or commented on has potential. Give them a try!
High-IQ Historical Transmigration, Rich Historical Atmosphere, and Fixing Historical Regrets
Looking for books similar to *I, the Ming Dynasty Immortal, Lived Through Sixteen Emperors (The Immortal Guest of the Ming Dynasty)*.
Historical Fiction That Feels Realistic
No System, and nothing about The Legend of Qin. Just straight historical fiction.
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?
Ahhh! I’m in a Reading Slump and Can’t Get Through Anything
Looking for cultivation stories similar to *The Junior Sister Sobs and Sniffles, Yet Destroys the Heavens with a Single Sword (Yi Meng Qing Xuan)*.
Meticulously Researched Historical Fiction
A twisting, suspenseful plot, a protagonist who's not an idiot, and something I can learn from while reading. Ideally, it should be close to real history.
I’ve Hit a Reading Slump. Nothing Holds My Interest. Recommendations, Please

Let me go, why are there so few people watching? I think the opening is interesting. It is meticulous and multi-faceted. From the death of the late emperor to the prince being taken away, how does the heroine preserve herself in the internal and external game and survive smoothly?
The writing is so mature, and the characters of both the male and female protagonists are very three-dimensional. I really like such a smart, quick and rational female protagonist. Author, you are also a good person! I like not to torture people by force. The heroine and the hero must have had a very good relationship at one time [I almost cried] when I saw the hero's farewell arrangements, I really wanted to cry. Such people only exist in novels. Zhang Zhang is so cute and I like him so much that my heart melts. Looking forward to the plot development of the lovely Zhang Zhang and the heroine later. This is the only two ancient Chinese novels that I like this year. The other one has been discontinued [angry] I will watch ads for you every day [full] Fortunately, I read the reviews before clicking in. I almost missed such a sophisticated and good book. Author, are you really not considering changing the title of your book? It's really unattractive (crazy). The writing is so good (crazy), and the cover should be changed.
The writing is really good, but it's a bit mind-consuming for me. There are many characters, and many of their positions should be created by the author, right? I don't know much about this area, but there are many positions that I haven't heard of. I hope the author can provide a job description. It has a very Machiavellian feel to it, and the viewer's head will be dizzy. You need to watch a few pictures to calm down.
Very sophisticated, with a complete sense of ancient and real Machiavellianism
It's very well written, please don't interrupt and make it as long as possible, please [I'm about to cry]
Recently, my favorite game is The Queen Mother. Sometimes I wonder if the situation she faced when the king died was similar to or even more serious than that of the heroine... It's too little. I want to improve it. If the quality of this book remains the same, it will score at least 9 points.
Highly recommended. When the emperor dies, the heroine will take charge of the government. The writing is not good at all. I'm not a noob at all. Anyway, be sure to check it out!
Not long after I started reading it, I came over to comment. It's really good. I hope it can encourage the author a little bit. Come on [blowing kiss]
The writing is really good. The Queen Mother's Machiavellian writings are really beautiful.
The author's writing is really good, not superficially imitating the past, but translating classical Chinese into vernacular. It's wonderful to write about the hidden secrets in the dialogues in the temple.
