🔥The books are mostly about transmigration, rebirth, Systems, golden fingers, and infinite worlds.

My Reading List
If it's no good, I'll eat shit.
My Private Book Stash
I mainly recommend stories with smart characters, strong writing, invincible protagonists, reborn characters, sci-fi, fantasy, and promising new works. Basically, anything I personally enjoy goes on the list. I'm not great at recommending books and won't write much in the way of reviews, but everything here is something I can keep reading.
Feel-Good, Smart, and Showbiz Stories
I only recommend books that I have been able to follow through to completion. I have grown tired of simplistic novels, and the era of brainless stories is over. I now focus on intelligent novels with well-planned plots. Most involve transmigrate, reborn protagonists, the military, sports, or entertainment. Recently, though, I have also been reading other genres, so there will be more variety in the future.
My Book Nook
I made this list for myself to browse. It's pretty good, too.

A 13-Year Reader Shares Their Book List
I’ve read many of the books on Qidian’s current rankings, or I’m not interested in them. I mainly share my own list, and hope you’ll share the books you like, too. I don’t know how many books on Qidian are still worth keeping around. The sci-fi section has no sci-fi, the myriad-worlds section has no myriad worlds, and the fantasy section is full of books that are something completely different from what their labels suggest.

Quiet Recommendations, Whether Finished or Just Starting Out
Some really great novels can't be recommended because of restrictions on their subject matter. That's Qidian's fault, you know how it is (￣∀￣). I'll put one here instead: Weapon Master.
Books with Intelligent Protagonists and Supporting Characters
Books where the characters don't suddenly lose their intelligence.

Three Kingdoms Historical Fiction
The Three Kingdoms era was a time of heroes, a period that still captures the imagination. Thanks in large part to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is probably the most familiar era in Chinese history. Everyone can easily name a whole host of famous officials, generals, and historical anecdotes. I imagine quite a few people got into historical fiction through the Three Kingdoms, just like I did. This list is for the Three Kingdoms novels I think are worth reading. Let's revisit that age of clas

These are all books I've found recently that I really enjoyed. Highly recommended. A few are a bit padded, but most are packed with substance.
All-Nighters, Page-Turners, and Hidden Gems
Pulling all-nighters and reading till my eyes bleed. Lots of niche titles! I like to sample the beginning, then let a story build up to 2 million-plus characters before reading. It’s so satisfying, though sometimes I leave them on hold so long they get dropped...
Books Hold Beauties Within
Every book here is one I've read and am still following. I just hope I can bring more great reads to others who are also out of books to read.

I just saw a video on Douyin that explained the Three Kingdoms from the perspective of the Yellow Turban Army (ordinary people). After watching it, my previous worldview about the Three Kingdoms was shaken. A group of pitiful people were driven to the brink of starvation, so hundreds of thousands or even millions of people picked up hoes and sticks to fight for a fair future for themselves, while…
Most fictional novels set in the Three Kingdoms period are based on the aristocratic class. It's not that they're bad, but it's just a matter of aesthetic fatigue. They all follow the same formula, and some authors, as they write, turn it into a character-collecting game. The novel's entry point is excellent: the "Yellow Turban Rebellion."
The author is now writing full-time, and still hopes everyone can subscribe to support them. This book does not contain any cheat codes or cheat codes. Because it's a novel about people from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it might be a bit slow-paced. In the Taihang Mountain arc, familiar characters from the Three Kingdoms period will appear one after another.
This novel is truly worth reading. First, the protagonist, as a Yellow Turban soldier, gradually rises from a lowly soldier to a figure capable of dominating the world. Everything he experiences along the way is quite realistic and doesn't involve any overly dramatic plot twists.
I have filial sons Lü Bu and Wang Mang, and an adopted son Ran Min. My crown prince is Sima Zhong, my second son is Liu Shao, my third son is Yang Guang, and my fourth son is Zhao Kuo. My second brother is Li Shimin, and my third brother is Zhao Guangyi. My sworn brothers are Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.
Corruption! Suffering! It must end today! Heaven is dead, the Han dynasty is coming to an end! Although we lack a powerful army, we have the people of the world! Even if blood stains the land, we will not stop! The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise! In the year of Jiazi, great fortune will befall the world!
What's most important in studying history? It's the official historical perspective! I've seen countless comments saying you don't want Ren Min's historical perspective, and you're already starting to use it before you're even an elite? I recommend you take a good look at Mr. Gu Cheng's history of the Southern Ming Dynasty!
To be honest, I've read a lot of books on the Three Kingdoms and Yellow Turban Rebellion themes, but so far I haven't found one with a revolutionary theme. I wish someone would write one! Learn from Emperor Taizu's wisdom and sagacity, supplemented by industry and commerce, taking one step at a time, recruiting renowned generals and ministers who share the same ideals, expanding territory, and enhancing the prestige of China—truly a dream of the Three Kingdoms. 😳
Let's also discuss the theory of Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness. Nowadays, netizens are easily brainwashed by a little bit of content on Baidu and Zhihu. Yesterday Cao Cao was a butcher, today he's a great man; yesterday Liu Bei was a hypocrite, today he's a true saint. Enough already! In the midst of three warlord conflicts, does Liu Bei's slightly higher moral standard make him a saint?
I think the Han court is portrayed as too united. Cao Cao has a history of massacring cities and is inherently suspicious. The Sun family also engaged in killings in Jiangdong. Only Liu Bei is somewhat better. Moreover, so many veteran officials are vying for power.
