Five-Year Veteran Recommends the Best
Recommendations from a five-year avid reader. There's a bit of everything here. The protagonists are smart, the plots have few glaring flaws, the golden fingers make sense, and the writing is easy to follow. Feel free to give them a try. Online-game novels tend to drag on and on, with plots that keep repeating the same old patterns until they become dull and tedious. I've tried to filter those out of this list. There are also lots of novels where the protagonist thinks that if they're strong eno

Pastoral, Xianxia, Historical, and Urban Novels: Relatively Reasonable Golden Fingers Without Excessive Wish Fulfillment
A selection of relatively sensible pastoral, historical, and urban stories. No implausible power fantasies that become impossible to keep reading, and no brainless, pathetic wish-fulfillment tales where the protagonist kills anyone they don't like.

Historical, farming, and rise-to-power novels. I've personally tested them for poison.
Only New Releases I’m Following: Rebirth and History
The Three Kingdoms, the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. No overpowered protagonists with plot armor; strong logic and reasoning are a must. Even action-packed stories get old if you read too many.

The theory of horselessness in the Song Dynasty has a wide-ranging legacy and is extremely poisonous. Horses from the Central Plains were improved and bred after hundreds of years of seizing and improving horses from Central Asia during the Han and Tang Dynasties. After the horse breeds were completed, Mongolian donkeys were used on the grasslands. When the Song Dynasty was founded, it received hundreds of thousands of military horses left by the previous dynasty's horse administration. This did not include civilian horses. The Song Dynasty itself was poor, and the greed of scholar-bureaucrats invaded official horse farms. However, all the good horses in the Central Plains were lost within a few decades. The protagonist of this book complains about the lack of horses every day and has indeed been slow to engage in horse politics. As long as there is no shortage of money and food, hundreds of thousands of horses can be bred from 10,000 mares in ten years. It is even more dangerous to have to go to Tamluo Island to raise horses. Huainan and Jiangnan are already a major grain-producing area. If you have grain, are you afraid of not having horses? Do you really think war horses eat grass?
Some views
I don't understand. Qian Liu has been a force that has been competing with Huainan for decades, and in the actual battle with Huainan, the victory or defeat of both sides was actually about the same. For such a hero, if he is easily defeated by the Huainan Army while defending the city in person, then the golden finger of the protagonist will be huge. There are so many examples in history of holding on to a fortified city for more than a year or even several years. Why do you think that Qian Xunni is giving Qian a golden finger when he leads an army to attack Hangzhou and fails to achieve a breakthrough within two or three months? Does it mean that just because the protagonist is the protagonist, he should have a halo? Or some people say that the protagonist has black gunpowder, so it should be easy to conquer Hangzhou. However, is black gunpowder really that powerful? I don't think so. It is true that the Taiping Army used the tactic of blowing up city walls with gunpowder to break through many cities along the way, but the Qing Army's Eight Banners and Green Camp, which were completely corrupt and had little fighting spirit, could they compare with the army led by Qian Liu himself? You must know that Qian Liu is a hero who emerged from the troubled times after all. Someone who can compete with Yang Xingmi cannot be so weak that he will kneel down after being exploded by gunpowder. Besides, if the protagonist can break through the city at will by relying on black gunpowder, then this novel will not be able to continue. Anyway, as long as the black gunpowder is released and the city is blown up, who can stop it? Even if the enemy sends reinforcements, it will take time. According to your logic, the Huainan Army will definitely be able to break the city in only two or three months. But in fact, with the mobilization capabilities of the Five Dynasties period, it often took two or three months to assemble a large army. By the time reinforcements arrived, the city would have long been occupied. Of course, there are also unreasonable things in the book, that is, the Huainan Army's casualty figures are too large. In addition, I doubt whether the Huainan Army's logistics can guarantee such a large-scale military operation. Finally, Qian Liu's Hangzhou City was indeed very strong and was one of the strongest cities in this era; on the contrary, many cities in the late Qing Dynasty were in disrepair and were not very strong.
I was looking for a book about hegemony that I could read, but I didn't know that the entry point of this book would be very poisonous. In the troubled times like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, one dynasty changed on average every ten years. It can be said that it was one of the eras in Chinese history when the status of literati was the lowest, and martial men were always in power. Of course, later the Song Dynasty literati came back with a revenge, and the entry point of the protagonist was poetry, which made people feel that he was not like the protagonist. This thing is just a taste of things. The protagonist writes poems in an instant again and again, and it feels like he is competing with Li Yu to be the first poet of the Five Dynasties. There is also the nephew who has come to seek refuge. He crazily steps on the protagonist's face and beats him again and again. It really feels like Yang Xingmi is dead. You must know that Yang Xingmi himself has no legitimate son. The protagonist is his eldest son and can be said to be his heir. His wife and his nephew, doing this is really detrimental to his sword! ? She is also a lady who cannot lay eggs, and her status was very low in ancient times.
It's this kind of stepmother who doesn't like it. It's boring to write poems at banquets and rise up.
I couldn't stand watching the first few chapters. Jieduzhi had the power of life and death. How dare Zhu Guangde speak at the banquet? The eldest son is sitting in a corner. I wonder if you have read any history books?
After reading five chapters, I really can't stop reading! Discourage! The protagonist is mentally retarded, and everyone in it has a low IQ!

Directly persuade them to quit. The two maids are orphans. The protagonist asks what the father's surname is, and then gives him a name. Hehe, he originally had the same surname as you. In ancient times, he could change his surname to be the same as the master's. Who would change his surname with a fool? This is quite an honor. Well, Yang Xingmi's first wife did not have a legitimate son. Logically, a bastard like the protagonist would have been adopted and raised as a legitimate son under the name of his first wife. What did the author write? How dare you be so arrogant without having a son? Do you really think Yang's knife isn't sharp enough? In ancient times, the status of a head wife without children was extremely low. I don't understand what the author is writing.
After reading a few chapters, the main character has a problem with his thinking.
From the first chapter, the protagonist wants to kill Xu Wen and the two of them, and in the following chapters, he still wants to kill them, without thinking about why they want to rebel. In addition, the protagonist has no own plan for dealing with the subsequent crisis, and has ideological problems.
A rare good book, it should have four stars or above. There are very few historical novels that I can read these days. This one is really well written.
