Looking for stories similar to "Late Ming: My First Escape from the Battle of Songjin". The Ming dynasty was a unique era, and I especially like its final years because they were hellishly difficult from the very start. Surviving during the early and middle Ming wasn't nearly as hard.

Amidst the turbulent and oppressive climate of the late Ming Dynasty, marked by drought, locusts, and excessive taxes, they embarked on a new path to life. Smoke rose from every village chimney; actors gained dignity; girls wore new clothes; scholars established new schools; compulsory education was implemented for children; Confucianism saw innovation; newspapers reached every household; people attended fairs, watched plays, and listened to music; and improved music, archaeology, clothing, customs, and cuisine sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

Reader note
The author's writing is quite good, the prose flows smoothly, and it combines grandeur with humor. Moreover, as a work set in the late Ming Dynasty, it avoids falling into the cliché of narrow nationalism. I think its overall quality is close to that of Ke Shanmeng's "Late Ming." The main drawback is that the protagonist, Yu Mu, rises to power too quickly, lacking persuasiveness. However, there's probably not much that can be done about it; breaking the deadlock in the late Ming Dynasty was inherently difficult, especially considering his rebellious path and the fact that it began in the eleventh year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign. Without some kind of superpower, it would be impossible to save him. The later parts become more plausible, but many readers may not see the end.

I highly recommend this new book I'm currently reading. It's not mindless and follows a historical timeline. It covers land-based resistance against the Qing Dynasty and naval battles against the Dutch. It also reclaims overseas colonies.

This novel is the most meticulously written novel I've ever read. It lacks a systematic structure. The author's thinking is clear, logical, and methodical. It's the best historical novel among Tomato Novels' works. The structure is also very well handled, and the author's ambition is evident in the ideological development of craftsmen, orphans, and the army. The writing is beautiful, the descriptions are detailed, and the author's imagination is vast. The various schemes and factories in the book are quite different from other novels, yet they are very plausible and ingenious.

I recommend *The Dream of the Southern Ming Dynasty*. The story begins in 1645 with the defeat at Wuhu, where the protagonist retreats to southern Anhui to gather the remaining rebel forces and fight against the Qing Dynasty. The book features a highly restrictive system that can only be activated in dire circumstances, and the vast majority of the plot relies on the protagonist's strategic planning and maneuvering. Based on historical facts, the survival environment is brutal, and both sides are highly intelligent. If you enjoy stories set in the darkest period of the Ming Dynasty, this is worth checking out.
