Delicious reads I'd happily revisit, though my personal taste is a bit unusual and maybe too broad.
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.
Zhongshitong
Three Kingdoms, Qin, Ming
Romance, No Romance, and Top Leads
I’m into everyone-loves-him stories and BL, mainly from the gong’s perspective or focused on the gong. I occasionally enjoy couples who dote on each other, so feel free to pick and choose. This list is mostly for my own reference. The full stops mean the entries still need to be filled in. I’ll write more once I reach a hundred.
Three Kingdoms
Not the rise-to-power-and-become-king type. Less formulaic plotting and filler, please.

My Favorite No-CP Stories, Mostly with Male Leads
Some have romantic interest or ambiguous relationships, but they all end with no CP. I lose interest after about three minutes and usually only read the first three-quarters, so I can’t vouch for the later quality. I can only say the beginning is good.

My interest in the Three Kingdoms probably started when I accidentally read a parody publication. I was only seven or eight years old at the time, and I got to know a few characters for the first time. I found them quite interesting, so I struggled to chew through an entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and read the stories in one piece. I don't remember a few of them, but they inspired my interest even more. As I got older, I started to get into online novels. I read Love and Hate on the female channel, and I watched Zozheng Zheng on the male channel. They also enjoyed it and recognized a lot of people and things. The more mature you become, the more interesting you gradually lose: whether the male protagonist shakes his body to win over his younger brother, or the female protagonist's charming appearance enchants the king and his ministers, they are all written so beautifully, like a little girl's dream when she lights a match, and it is so happy for a moment. The pain of war, the pain of family and country, why should we miss it! Later, I met our Ashan by chance. From the momentary joy of childhood, to the dark clouds of approaching troubled times, to the people who drowned in the Yellow River... Throughout the dynasties, civil strife, disasters, and the blood of the people and the tears of mountains and rivers have only condensed into a few strokes in history. I stopped turning the page for a time, these troubled times, troubled times, troubled times! A friend once told me that she sometimes reads novels and feels empathy and empathy with the protagonist. Whenever she sees a comment from a reader saying "I love reading sadistic novels," I feel that people with happy lives are "appreciating" their own pain, which makes it even more painful. But I think that's too harsh. Some cruelty is for the tragedy that is made up of sadness and pathos, and the protagonist is beaten by fate "meaninglessly and for no reason". Some of the cruelty is to show readers too much reality that is beyond their control, and to show how the sand of the times can crush and hurt people. Those who read the former mostly rely on the pain they get from reading to get the secretion of dopamine in their bodies for temporary pleasure. This type of nipple fun has no meaning in terms of article type. It's just a different preference category. Which reader hasn't read it? Those who watch the latter include those who are overly mature, those who have higher requirements for writing logic, and those who mistakenly fall into this more convincing and "advanced" abuse but cannot extricate themselves. Although I think the latter is more "meaningful", almost everyone only reads for entertainment, so what's the essential difference? For me, it's just that my mental state is not enough to bear the pain of this reality, so I turned to other more relaxed readings. But people will always step into similar rivers. When the book was about to be finished, I came across it again and again, and started reading it from the beginning again. This time, when watching Yingchuan Time, I can better understand the vague haze of approaching troubled times. So I read again, from the childhood of temporary joy, to the dark clouds of approaching troubled times, to the people who threw themselves to death in the Yellow River, to the capital city with open and covert attacks, to Tuogu with different hearts and minds, to the desperate struggle... Ashan, Xunrou, and Hanguang, in the first half of their lives, were trapped by family ties, prophecies, kindness, the future he had experienced, and unrealizable political ideals. The "ambition" of Ashan in the copy and the "dream omen" at the end of the first chapter echo the reality of rising steadily but sinking step by step, making it difficult for me to continue. I don't even want to cry, I just feel hopeless for the reality and burden Ashan faces. His original intention has never wavered. In the face of party struggles and large armies, he still wants to preserve his family just like when he was trapped in the Yellow Turban. But he has also been changed by the troubled times. From being in a corner of peace to being pushed to a high position, he is no longer afraid of saving the people from hanging upside down, but has the political ideal of breaking out of the cocoon to survive. However, the repeated setbacks and setbacks made it unbearable for him... Fortunately, Ashan also has the "aura of the protagonist", and his kind thoughts are finally rewarded, leaving an inch of life. Later, during the war in the south and the north, I made great plans. Even when my life was hanging in the balance, I had infinite hope: all the good causes he had sown would eventually bear numerous good fruits for him. Traveling in the underworld, no longer trapped in self-confidence, all the sufferings are gone, and transcendence is reborn. Times have changed, and the country has changed, but it is enough to live up to our original aspirations and live up to the world. It can be considered a good beginning and a good end. There are many texts in the Three Kingdoms, each with its own ambitions. Or one might say: Who can dominate the world but me? Or say: I wish to assist the Ming Lord and bring peace to the country. Or say: Just settle down in a corner, and that's it if you have love. At that time, the fragrant herbs floated, the door was deep, and the light came out through the curtains, smiling: Rou has no great ambitions in his life, but he only wishes that when the shepherds and wheat in Yingchuan are green, he would often sit and drink with the Xuns. The article says nothing better than this.
I guess I haven't written a mid-length review for many years, but after reading this I just felt that I couldn't calm down for a long time, and I had to write something to express it. The cool thing about time-travel writing is that you have a vision and technology that transcends the times. Traveling through history has a sense of predicting what will happen before and after, and changing destiny. But there are few (at least few in Jinjiang) modern people who think about time travel and the backward ideas of ancient times collide. Writing about the development of technology is refreshing and clear, after all, even a fool can clearly see the benefits brought about by the growth of productivity, but writing about the development of ideas is even more difficult - in fact, the development of ideas itself is difficult, and the indiscriminate promotion of modern advanced concepts that really happened in ancient times was mostly treated as a witchcraft and burned. The last time I saw a large-scale description of the ideological conflicts between ancient and modern people was "Official Residence" at a certain point more than ten years ago. I have forgotten the plot to this day, but only one scene is vivid in my mind: (probably) when the male protagonist established the gold standard, he wanted to attract a supporting commander to suppress the rebellion of the rich family, but the commander only accepted the letter and only thought that the male protagonist would eventually become emperor and shouted "break all ties and righteousness". Xun Rou's encounter in the article often reminded me of this scene, especially in the early stage when Lingjun hinted many times that he wanted to respect the emperor and be loyal. How sad! Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say that I want nothing. I think this is obviously the essence of the tag "time travel", and it is also the biggest negative buff - I have seen the most beautiful and best times, but I have no way to tell, and no one believes me and understands me. After reading this article, many things left an impression on me: the echoing wheat fields, the mutual support of the Xun brothers, the great achievements of the Taiwei in pacifying the world, the heart-to-heart talks with Cao Liu... But if I recall this article in another ten years, the most memorable scene must be this scene: I wrote down the words science, equality, and world on the paper, and then crossed them out one by one, and finally burned the entire paper. This piece of paper was filled with a modern person's common sense and three views, but at that time not even a word could be spread. Even Wen Ruogongda is unknown. How lonely it is! From this perspective, I am very grateful to the author for letting Cao Cao understand part of Ashan from the perspective of a hero, even if it is only part of it. I could have endured the darkness… My wife's profound literary background and unique political opinions have given me, an engineering student, a lot of knowledge, and I admire her very much! Although the data may be mediocre because it does not conform to the current style of cool articles that cannot be tolerated for three hours, but in my heart it is really the No. 1 Of Jinjiang Shi Chuanwen! I hope that my wife can still produce something in the future, and I am very much looking forward to the female Liu Association that you have pre-published! I haven't written for too many years, and what I want to say is stuck in my throat and spews out in a mess. I really can't save any words of praise, so I have to end with a general explanation: Mrs. Nb!
Is it over? ? ? I also want to watch the sequels of later generations, and I also want to see the beauties of the Xun family playing Ashan, and I also want to see the evaluation of Ashan by heroes from all walks of life. It is best to also see the joy and pride of the Xun parents in the underworld when they see the peaceful and prosperous era created by Ashan.
I always like to read the comments of later generations when reading this kind of history, but I don't really want to read this article. Xunrou remained committed to his ideals until his death and never forgot his original intention. He persisted in everything in his life but had no regrets. He no longer needs the comments of others. Thank you to the author for writing such a beautiful article.
From high school to college, I have been reading for seven or eight years. For this book, it is a cycle of giving up and coming back. But this is the first book that made me feel sad and calm. I read Hanguang's childhood several times. From the beginning to the end, the author's writing style began to become more calm, and Hanguang gradually grew up. The two places that impressed me the most were when Hanguang looked out from his home when he was a child, the fragrance of the earth, chickens and ducks. . . Then there is the description of Han Guang in his later years. The first-person perspective is exchanged with other perspectives. In fact, the wording is not very gorgeous, but it gives people a sense of picture and realism. After reading so many Three Kingdoms fans, your writing is truly unique in the fan circle. . . . In fact, looking at the homogenization of the literary world in recent years, the clichés are particularly serious. Therefore, I am really grateful to the author for writing this excellent work. At least, among the novels I read about human beings, it is well-deserved to be excellent (actually I think it is the first, but it is too flamboyant). Hanguang accompanied me through the difficult third and fourth years of high school, and in a sense, he experienced a huge change in my mentality, so I am really grateful to Hanguang and the author. The writing is a bit messy, but I still want to say something Goodbye, Hanguang
Thank you to the author for writing this article. It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful article. Especially the second half. All the time when reading about ancient court, I tend to get excited at first, but then start to feel bored in the second half. I used to think it was because the story was clichéd and it got boring after the novelty. But even at the end of this article, I was still emotionally stirred up with the article, and I couldn't bear to put it down. Later I discovered that it turned out to be the external conflict between the early stage of this article and this era, which gradually evolved into Hanguang's helpless resentment at being controlled by the capital city. After the lowest point of this defeat, he realized his great enlightenment and accepted the important task of the unknown future. Hanguang still had an internal conflict with himself. He did not follow everything in the present world to face that era, but carefully chose, weighed, and accepted the weight of history and the unknowability of change, but still tried his best to push everything towards the best place in his heart. Who can really have a smooth life and have all their wishes come true? The second half of so many time travel novels is lackluster, could it be because I can no longer resonate emotionally with the protagonist in the novel who holds the encyclopedia, and I can no longer find the shadow of the reality I know in the novel. But the character Hanguang is like walking on thin ice in an abyss. Although we clearly know the vastness of the world, we also say that the grass and trees are still vigorous. He, and many of them in this world, follow their own path, always confused and contradictory, using their own expectations to change the world, but also gradually becoming consistent with this world. It's really good. Especially the records in historical books, when one person's achievements are placed in the annals of history, it can't help but seem like a small speck of dust in the endless river of history. But if you know this, shouldn't you use the power of dust to push forward this moment? Looking at the long scroll of history, we see only a glimpse of the lives of so many people. Knowing this, I can't help but admire and yearn for the stories of the past, and imagine the ambitions, joys, sorrows, and joys of those people in the past. I think it is no longer that important whether Hanguang's ambition should be inherited by future generations. His policies provided precedents for all future generations, and his ideals were recorded. I believe that even if history seems to be cyclical and repeating the same mistakes, new ideas and concepts will not be easily erased once they exist. A step taken is a real step taken, and time cannot be turned back in the end. Anyway, thank you to the author for your article, I was inspired too! Refill
To use a very superficial label to describe this book, it would be a sickly, weak, beautiful, strong and miserable + saintly protagonist who grew up in XP. It is delicious and everyone will eat it... Seriously, the author's literary talent is so outstanding that it is worth savoring.
It is indeed a surprise that there are no follow-up reviews to boast about it, but the ending with Cai Yan writing a history book is really shocking to the soul. This ending is really surprising, but it is really true. This is the Three Kingdoms novel with the best literary talent and the best knowledge shown by the author that I have ever seen.
The shock that Hanguang brought to me was gradual. In the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, people were oriented, and it was very difficult for the people to be supreme. But Hanguang was able to stick to his true intention, not ignore the people because of his high position, and not succumb to the difficulties of the road. He worked hand in hand with Wen Ruogongda, and a single spark started a prairie fire. How good! Delight! This is the victory of idealism!
I spent several months off and on to finish reading this book. When I read the last chapter to the end, I had an unreal feeling that the dust had just settled. I always felt that this story should be longer, much longer. A good piece of writing is worthy of me jotting down a few thoughts, worthy of a long review, and it can also be regarded as an anchor point in the sea of memory. Different from the previous tastes of conspiracy and undercurrents of so-called power, the work shows a pure heart, a man of action who truly cares about the people, and the exploration and pursuit of an idealist. Hanguang's growth trajectory is so clearly depicted. As a time traveler, even if he has the opportunity of a long history, he cannot know everything and be omnipotent. He must try and make mistakes, practice, and then move forward. Hanguang's reforms and innovations all strive to integrate the wisdom of future generations into the historical context and stand in the context of the times. If you hear Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening. Not only his thoughts and ideas, but also every step he took for the country made me feel that he was such a "martyr". He still remembers that he has experienced too much along the way, from "breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat" and "breaking and then establishing" in his early days, to later using the Han Dynasty as a cultural symbol and a symbol of civilization to lead the way, from whether history will return to its original point, to facing it head-on instead of escaping. The vision and vision far beyond that era did not make him arrogant, but made him more humble. Taking Li Yuan as the foundation of the world was not suspended and empty, but practical and grounded. Casting stones to ask for directions, from one shore to the other, crossing oneself and others, Hanguang never considers his life and name, he is extremely sincere, extremely simple, standing at the top of the pyramid of power, not lost, not forgotten, too rare, too precious, to be in power and to hold power, in order to carry out administrative orders and implement policies, and nothing else. Fortunately, although it is extremely cold at a high place, he still has relatives and his most solid backing. Fortunately, "I am not alone." Hanguang has no regrets in this life. Thanks to the author for creating such a character, who is almost like a saint. Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry on the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations. It makes me believe that in another parallel world of time and space, there is such a character and such a continuation of China. Thanks to Hanguang's appearance, a trace of regret that I had not noticed in my heart was fulfilled. The author's ingenuity makes the article more humorous and relaxed besides being serious. The author has a good grasp of the rhythm of the writing. From the dialogue and worldview structure of the protagonist group, it can be seen that the author's historical background is undoubtedly extremely rich. Finally, I will talk about the flesh-and-blood female characters in the author's works. The space is not large. It is a bit of joy to see their existence in such a peaceful and prosperous age. If the author still has a chance to write a new book, I'll see you on the next one. Thanks, tribute.
