Sky Screen Reading Log 天幕文阅读记录

1. 1 天 The Sky Screen Is Livestreaming My Infrastructure Projects Again Today 天幕今天也在直播我搞基建 Mu Nanfei木南斐No CP367k WordsCompleted Qi Mo was born into the body of the Seventh Prince of the Great Zhao Dynasty. His father favored others, his mother died young, and although both he and the First Prince, Qi Yan, were sons of the late empress, neither brother was particularly well liked. One day at court, just as First Prince Qi Yan was about to be sent away to a remote and barren fief in the north, the sky screen suddenly descended. Its voice and images could be heard and seen by every person in Great Zhao [Hello, everyone! A 22.8kFavorites31.2kClicks/ch17.4kGifts

   Curator note

   The writing is mediocre, a standard, unremarkable hodgepodge of reversed-sky narratives, with many word mistakes and the exaggerated style typical of this genre. A major reason for the strange reading experience is probably the presence of a minor antagonist, Qi Yu, who also has an older brother studying abroad. This made me imagine the unfortunate Emperor Jingtai, and I couldn't bear to cast that name as a villain.

   Curator note

   I'm dropping this story. I prefer protagonists who are more saintly and virtuous; this kind of protagonist, firmly seated on the throne, makes me uncomfortable. [Crying emoji]

3. 3 天 The Sky Screen Spoils My Unification of the Four Seas 天幕剧透我一统四海 Ming Ye Bo Shuang明夜泊霜No CP434k WordsCompleted [Main story complete. Bonus chapters will be updated when time allows.] [Please read the content warnings below before you begin.] Xue Wanyue gained a new set of memories, and from then on became an oddity in the imperial family: he shunned the Confucian classics and immersed himself in miscellaneous studies and all kinds of arts; kept his distance from virtuous gentlemen and drew close to petty men; and frequented the streets, mixing with commoners... Fortunately, he was just a low-ranking, o 32.7kFavorites55.9kClicks/ch20.4kGifts

   Curator note

   I like the protagonist's calm demeanor. Both his analysis of the celestial realm and the reactions of the viewers are logical. While some plot points don't quite align with my values, the author's premise of the protagonist being an ancient person with modern memories makes these actions plausible.

4. 4 给 Livestreaming a Bigamy Trial for the Ancients 给古人直播从重婚案庭审开始 Seven Strings on Cold Water泠水七弦No CP504k WordsCompleted Lawyer Jiang Hailan is chosen by a System that falls from the sky, and begins livestreaming the work and everyday lives of people in the modern era to people in the interstellar age. Trials, mediation, consultations, being on duty... Meals with friends, shopping, wandering the streets, traveling... Appliances, transportation, urban and rural homes, military weapons... Little by little, she introduces this world to people of the future, along with the history behind how so many things developed. 38kFavorites97.8kClicks/ch36.6kGifts

   Curator note

   So far, it's been a good read, offering a fresh perspective by showcasing modern daily life rather than providing historical or scientific information.

5. 5 历 Watching History Through the Eyes of Emperor Jing 历史观影从景帝开始 Fusheng Xian浮笙闲No CP659k WordsCompleted [A free collection of bonus chapters is up on my author page. The first section is already filled in!] [New novel: Han Jing's Story (Western Han | I Remarried the Crown Prince and Became the Mother of an Emperor for the Ages), officially launching on November 25, 2024] [This work expresses personal opinions and perspectives, but does not whitewash historical figures' established reputations] [This is fiction.

   Curator note

   I'm currently reading this and highly recommend it. I just finished the section on Emperor Jing. I had never connected the various emperors before. I especially liked the sections on Emperor Jing of Han and Emperor Jing of Ming. The author's views are not extreme, and the reactions of the ancient people are not jarring. Highly recommended!

6. 6 皇 The Emperor's Chat Group on the Sky Screen [天幕]皇帝聊天群 Clothes in September九月有衣No CP641k WordsCompleted The sky screen appeared. On the left was a fixed Imperial Reputation Ranking, on the right a live People’s Support Ranking, and between them was a chat group where everyone used their real names. First Emperor Ying Zheng read through the rankings and found only two people surnamed Ying: one at the very top, and the other at the very bottom. Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, looked at Liu Heng’s surprisingly high ranking and contemplated life. Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, couldn’t find Crown Prince 80kFavorites129kClicks/ch295.4kGifts

   Curator note

   Warning: This is a misleading plot device. The female lead is supposedly the last emperor in a chat group, the most popular empress in history, which is supposed to be a fun premise, but the author has botched it. First, the female lead answers almost every question, making it feel less like an emperor's chat group and more like a live streamer. If she thinks the group is all paid charades, why is she the only one doing the talking? Is it really that easy for everyone else to make money? Also, her way of arguing is more like a student who hasn't graduated from school, using her historical advantage to spout off. Historical figures are just from a different era, not stupid. Other readers have also suggested the author might be inserting personal biases later on (I haven't read further, so this is questionable). Looking at the author's replies in other people's warning posts, I found that the author and the female lead are really similar in personality. She attributes all the readers' doubts to not understanding the synopsis. The female lead is playing an emperor, and the number one on the popularity list is fake. The reason for all her out-of-character behavior is that she thinks everyone is acting, so she can stop acting properly... So you set this emperor identity just to occupy the high ground of popular support and give pointers to historical figures, right?

7. 7 历 History Livestream: A Shocking Opening 历史直播，开幕暴击 Sui Nanzhi绥南枝Romance1.9M WordsCompleted [Main story complete. Extra chapters will drop from time to time...] [New novel now underway] I Can Hear Qin Shi Huang's Thoughts, a story about a heroine building up the country!

   Curator note

   Reading it felt like taking a history lesson; the main content was historical overview, with relatively few comments and reactions, but none of them felt out of place and were well-received. It's a pity that the table of contents only covers the Ming Dynasty and doesn't continue to the Qing Dynasty.

8. 8 当 When the Dynasties Tune In to My Chinese Class [History Livestream] 当诸朝开始围观我的语文课[历史直播] A Letter from Spring Mountain春山有信No CP709k WordsCompleted [Reading Guide: 1. This is a parallel world, not a historically accurate story, and includes some creative liberties of my own. Where there are discrepancies, please defer to official history. The author is not a history major, so just enjoy it for fun. 2. The heroine is not a teacher. She is only posting a few videos over summer vacation, partly to pass the time and partly to get closer to the textbooks, so there will be some internet culture mixed in. If that doesn't work for you, feel free to 102.5kFavorites228.2kClicks/ch264.9kGifts

   Curator note

   This is a rare example of a lighthearted, engaging story. The author delivers lessons with earnestness, and I genuinely appreciate this kind of teacher who doesn't deliberately reveal historical facts to the ancients. The reactions of the ancient characters are also well-developed and not out of character (OOC). Overall, it's a very comfortable reading experience.

9. 9 天 The Sky Screen Spoiled Everything, and I Became an Emperor for the Ages 天幕剧透我成了千古一帝 The Tipsy Poet醉吟居士No CP312k WordsCompleted Yin Min transmigrated into the nineteenth prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty, a dynasty that had never existed in history. He was so inconspicuous that he planned to spend his future as an idle prince. Then, one day, a sky screen descended from above, and a familiar voice sounded in his ear: [Hello, everyone! Today we’re talking about how Emperor Xuanzong raised an army to overthrow Emperor Li and became an emperor for the ages…] Now that everyone was staring at him, Yin Min had suddenly become th 85.3kFavorites159.4kClicks/ch82.8kGifts

   Curator note

   Set in a fictional dynasty, with some fast-paced elements and simplified political intrigue, but the male protagonist's character is very appealing, so it's still a good read. Looking forward to the second season.

10. 10 诸 Dynasties Watch My Livestream of Everyday Rural Life 诸朝看我直播乡村生活日常 The Southern Wind Never Ends南风不尽No CP642k WordsCompleted [Content warning: Chapter 27 features Li Guang. Don't buy!] After quitting her job, Lin Ling decided to return to her hometown to keep her grandfather company in his old age and start livestreaming her daily life. She streamed regularly: traveling, going to the market to buy groceries, and helping her grandfather, a retired teacher, run free classes for children left behind in the countryside. That day, her grandfather set up a little blackboard under the longan tree to teach the children aga 67.9kFavorites130.5kClicks/ch135.9kGifts

    Curator note

    While it does glorify historical figures, it's at least not intellectually simplistic; the female lead's complete unawareness of being on a historical livestream is commendable.

11. 11 青 [History Livestream] Beneath the Green Annals, All Generations Hear [历史直播]青史之下，百代共闻 He Dao Guanshan何到关山No CP494k WordsCompleted [I like revising my work and am not responsible for any pirated versions.] Sang Yun is a small-time creator who makes history recap videos for fun. But across the myriad dynasties and worlds, a sky screen suddenly appears, judging people and events for all generations to hear.

    Curator note

    While reading, it's a perfect novel by Tianmu. The only flaw is that it's still being serialized; I'll wait until it's fully developed before reading it.

    I'm currently reading it, but updates are sporadic [crying emoji]. This is my favorite Ming Dynasty-themed novel; it explains each historical moment in great detail.
