Reader note
I strongly recommend the first book. The writing is excellent, the logic is tight, the plot is compact, and it is very realistic. War, economy, politics, and resources are very closely intertwined. No time travel, no brainless fun, no cheats, no wisdom, no falling in love, no system. The current main plot trend: In the first volume, you watch a tall building rise and then collapse, and then in Chapter 10, you receive guidance from an expert to complete a reasonable reversal of tactics. The second volume is full of the bitterness of workers at the bottom of the workplace who are squeezed but find ways to work their way up. The third volume begins with a battle volume, and begins to enter the violent aesthetic of blood and flesh. So far in the fourth volume, the worldview has once again been upgraded to a situation where multiple countries and forces participate in a complex game.

Reader note
A historical novel that you won't be able to stop reading once you read it! This is a hilarious and touching time-travel wonder. The protagonist Hao Xinren breaks into the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms from the "perspective" of a doctoral student in modern history, but he repeatedly dances on the tip of a knife - escaping beheading by memorizing history books, and saving his life by relying on homophonic jokes. His character design has its own contrasting cuteness. In the main line of escape and survival, the story lays out a grand picture of the changes in the Later Liang Dynasty, the Later Tang Dynasty, and the destruction of Chu Jieyan. Historical nodes such as Zhu Yougui's patricide, Weizhou Mutiny, Liu Wei's death, the Eighth Battle of the Guangbian Army, and the Xingjiaomen Incident are cleverly embedded into the protagonist's embarrassing daily life. Heavy historical facts and light comedy are unexpectedly blended. Different from similar time-travel novels about "counterattack and becoming a king", this work is about "how a small person survives in an era that does not belong to him." Every time Hao Xinren saves the day, there is a gentle gaze on the fate of individuals in the torrent of history. It makes you smile and turn the pages, but when you close the book, you see the lilac plant quietly swaying in the troubled times.
168 Following the Bloody Tang Dynasty, the Chess Game Comes to an End Daodao Returns to the WorldEastern Fantasy386k WordsCompleted 3Reads5.8Score—Shelves
Reader note
Reason for recommendation: If you are obsessed with the collision of power and passion in "The Tang Dynasty", "The End of the Game" will take you back to Chang'an City before the collapse of the prosperous age. The protagonist is involved in the change of imperial power as a down-and-out chess player, and starts a life-and-death game on the chessboard with the Wolf Lord of Mobei, the swordsman of the Jianghu, and the powerful officials of the temple. Every game of chess is the epitome of conspiracy, and every battle hides the truth of history. When the chess game is over, we realize that this chess game that lasted for thirty years has turned out to be the son of all the people in the world! Core highlights: Historical intrigue × suspense reversal, group portraits are portrayed like "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", and the triple reversal in the ending subverts cognition! !
