Historical Fiction Derivatives

Just a quick summary for the record. I don't remember the details, so they're all three stars. The five-star, highly recommended ones are all books I bought in full and still remember vividly. I also snuck in a few personal projects set in fictional worlds.

Satisfying, Indulgent Everyone-Loves-the-Protagonist Stories with Beautiful Leads

All the protagonists are great-looking. There are stories with a top protagonist, a bottom protagonist, and no pairing. Some are mindless fun, while others have actual plots. My tastes are pretty lowbrow, so people with lowbrow tastes are welcome to enjoy these recommendations.

Level B

History-Focused

Use bronze as a mirror to set your clothes straight; use history as a mirror to understand the rise and fall of dynasties; use other people as a mirror to recognize your own gains and losses.

Xiaomi's Reading Diary (Fanfiction, BL)

Personal preferences: male characters who are motherly, female characters who are daddy-like, universally adored protagonists, preferably quick transmigration that isn't a split-personality, reincarnation, or alternate-original-world setup, all kinds of fanfiction, danmei, romance, and no-CP stories, plus kingdom-building and characters being mistaken for something they're not.

One of the Few Series I’ve Fully Purchased After Years of Reading

I have no particular kinks, and I’m not into extreme stuff. I care most about the author’s character, then the humor and writing, then everything else. I don’t support made-up words, but I don’t read BL anymore either. Major turnoffs: Mao Xia Gui, especially YYM.

A Roundup of Books I Can Reread Over and Over (Ongoing)

I read a bit of everything. This is a personal roundup, with a preference for slice of life, comedy, sports, fanfiction, farming, infinite flow, cultivation, and more. Really, I'll read anything (●v●)

Only High-Rated Long Danmei Novels for Me

I like longer books with strong storytelling. The top and bottom are usually a powerful team. Since I can't give five stars, three stars means pretty good, and four means an explosive recommendation.

A Collection of High-Quality Ancient BL Novels with Brilliant Couples and Political Scheming

Keywords: political intrigue / business management / fantasy / world-building / imperial exams / mystery / Republican era / ancient times (Ongoing updates. I'm a tough grader, so three stars is a high score. Good for when you're out of things to read.)

Updated as I read. Lots of genres, all with decent writing, which is the most important thing: original works, derivative works, crossovers, British and American fandoms, worldbuilding, System stories, shopkeeping, Western fantasy, space, historical Chinese settings, and more

Only Beautiful Bottoms, Bottom-Pampering Edition

I love stories featuring stunningly beautiful bottoms, the kind so gorgeous there’s no match for them in heaven or on earth. Bottoms are the best! (For a more SFW version, check out my list on my profile.)

Feel-Good Historical Derivative Fiction

I’m really into historical fiction and its spin-offs, haha. There are also one or two original infrastructure-building novels mixed in. (P.S. If you have the same taste as me, please recommend something in the comments. I’m starving for new reads.)
