Boys' Love
The path to kingship. The path of ruler and subject. The people’s path. I forge ahead on my own road.
A Reading List of Historical Fanfiction
Historical infrastructure-building stories about aspiring rulers, historical stories about beloved characters raising kids, and stories about emperors and princes building things. I’ve finished some and plan to read the rest.
For Those Who Love the Protagonist
An absolutely delicious list of books!! (
My Reading List
Showbiz and history
History / Sky Screen / Spoilers
Some stories featuring sky screens, spoilers, mind-reading, history, and historical spin-offs
Character Fan (A Mixed Bag, Mostly for Personal Use)
Lots of male-lead stories with no romance, lots of BL with a gong protagonist, few GL and romance stories. I’m a die-hard protagonist stan. This list is mainly for my own use. (LXL, I hate you so much.)
Books I've Reread Countless Times
I like stories with a bit of angst, serious plots, ensemble casts, growth, family and friendship, beautiful writing, and a touch of magic. Some have special meaning to me.
Male Protagonists, No Romance, Original and Derivative Works
So there is a limit to how many books a list can hold! (shocked) My tastes are all over the place: anime crossovers, wuxia crossovers, Marvel/DC crossovers, fantasy, Western fantasy... Pick and choose what you like~
Historical Fiction
Historical fiction spin-offs.
Protagonists Reborn from Birth
Some are historical, and some are not
Rich in Ancient Charm
Includes xianxia, jianghu, political intrigue, and times of turmoil. I like serious stories, character growth, ensemble casts, and sects. Not a fan of pure fluff. I prefer when supporting characters die. Romance is optional.
Male-Protagonist Stories
Male leads, either no-couple or romance. The male-lead soccer novel next door, with an original female lead and not much romance, is called Cheating with Hazard. It’s pretty good.
No Romance, Read as If the Lead Were a Bottom
What if sometimes I just want to read about my beloved bottom shining on his own?
Male-Protagonist-Focused, with a Dominant Lead; Male Lead Has No Romance; Updated Regularly
Lots of abandoned stories, lots of ongoing ones with irregular updates, and a few completed novels. (An even smaller number are from the bottom's POV, with the bottom doted on by the top.)
No Romance
No-CP stories that stood out to me and seemed pretty well written, mostly historical settings and farming or business-building

Feel-good stories from the male lead’s perspective
A Mix of Genres! No Pairings or Minimal Romance
Original works and fanfiction. Fanfic fandoms include Harry Potter, Detective Conan, Jujutsu Kaisen (crossover anime), crossover Marvel and DC, competitive sports, and the entertainment industry. If no romance is mentioned, there's no CP. A mixed bag of genres.
Historical Setting, Modern-Day RPF / Alternate Universe
Anyway, these are all very good historical stories, the kind with no romance and a focus on building a career

It's a little bit of a scam, and the sense of déjà vu from a fairy tale to an officialdom novel is pretty good. The final ending is quite hasty. After all, the demons and the officialdom are too separated and may not be reconciled. Maybe... The power system has collapsed?
The first half is very interesting, the growth line is complete and detailed, and the fantasy line can also give people the feeling of reading a strange novel like Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, which makes me feel as if these mountain spirits existed in that era. But the second half... I can't understand the second half. Is the protagonist Zhu Biao or Zhu Yuanzhang? The Demon Suppression Division is just a background. Earlier, it was said that the protagonist can only show his specialness after becoming the emperor. Later, Hu Weiyong directly said that the prince's achievements include the Demon Suppression Division and Fengdu Ghost City. I feel like what he said didn't mean that only people with a high enough status knew about the prince, but that it was already known to everyone. Even if the prince was stable, the fantasy line in the second half of the story was only briefly explained, which gave me the feeling that he was patching or writing and suddenly remembered that there was a fantasy line. There is also Zhu Biao's third sister, who did not have a name after giving birth and did not even appear later. Empress Ma was really lonely in her pregnancy. When he went to fight in Sichuan, Zhu Biao said that he would ask the second, third, and fourth princes to write articles analyzing the situation in Sichuan. Those who wrote well would be allowed to accompany the army to Sichuan, but no follow-up was given. The generals who fought against Sichuan later were not mentioned at all when they came back and were dealt with, and the princes never appeared. It seems that Lao Zhu and his family did not have as many scenes later as Hu Weiyong. Zhu Biao doesn't have as many scenes as him, and his image is relatively thin and not as vivid as the previous one. But it's still good-looking, with no flaws. No one is the absolute protagonist. Everyone is a part of the long history. The switching of perspectives and partisan struggles made me feel like I was watching "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty." Good cheers for the author.
The front and back are too separated. In the later period, I felt that many things were not explained in detail and it ended casually. Many of the previous foreshadowings were not used. If there is a second part, it will be okay. If not, it will not be very different from a rushed and unfinished ending.
It's good-looking, but it's incomplete. Reincarnation is not established, there are no miracles, the supernatural aura is written but there is no follow-up, the follow-up of demons and ghosts! I don't expect a lucky dynasty, but is this the dynasty?
When I read this book for the first time, I only remembered the first half. After reading it for the second time, I found that it was finished too hastily. It can even be said to be a bit unfinished. Originally, the world view of gods and ghosts was very interesting, but the combination was not good after ascending the throne. This setting can be said to be a waste.
I've ordered it and finished watching it. The first part is quite exciting, especially before ascending to the throne. The combination of supernatural and history is very fresh and interesting. It's organized and has a clear main line. After ascending to the throne, the growth chapter begins. It is obvious that the level of plotting is not enough. What should be written is not written. It is contrived and the official struggle is written like a house fight. It is a hammer and a hammer. It is just a few famous cases in history. The main line is loose and the logical chain is broken. The more I read, the more disappointed I become. In fact, it ends when I ascend the throne, which is considered a very good work. I suggest that readers in the future can leave as soon as they see the throne.
Eh... The foreshadowing and background are very important! The plot is very exciting, including the relationship between Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu, their intrigues, and the background of the monsters. Why not explain it clearly? I feel that the last two plots of conspiracy are ending for the sake of ending. I can accept the Hu Weiyong case as the ending, but I feel that the writing is too concise in all aspects...
After reading it, what can I say? You go to eat hot pot happily. After eating, you find that, hey, the ingredients are all fresh, and the bottom of the pot has changed from butter to clear soup.
I feel like the protagonist has very few choices and is forced to grow up. There are many things that should have another possibility, but it feels like the protagonist has been assimilated, forced to give up or unable to see other options, and then can only do nothing. I feel that the character I regret in the whole story is Mr. Liu Ji. I think his ending should not be like this. The young man who first wanted to help those monks who were living in the world, finally forgot about it.
After the focus turns to the court, it becomes boring. There is nothing to do with the protagonist. He is just a prince who can't do anything. From beginning to end
