My Reading List, My Rules
They're all books I enjoy, but the list is a real hodgepodge.
Books I Like
I’ve been reading on Qidian for over a decade and have liked plenty of books. Early on, I read many books by big-name authors like Yue Guan, Chen Dong, Tomato, and San Shao, among others, so I won’t go into those here. These recommendations are for books from the past few years, both male- and female-oriented. I hope you like them too.
History and Prehistoric Times
Primitive history: a collection of novels about prehistoric societies and their development, with a focus on farming and building a life.

There's a bit of everything here, from completed books to promising new ones. I add whatever I think is good, and I've read every book on this list. I rarely recommend books, so each one here is something I found interesting enough to include! I'm leaving out famous authors and books everyone already knows. Leave me a like, will you? But I have three rules for what I read: 1. I don't read books written in the first person. I know some first-person books are excellent, like Xiaohua's, but I just

Tightly Plotted and Logical
A tightly plotted, logical story without cheap melodrama or a clueless protagonist. The main character grows in a believable way and is coolheaded, steady, and no saint.

I've read a lot of Dream of the Red Chamber fanfiction, and they all portray Jia Baoyu as worthless, effeminate, pretentious, stubborn, self-righteous, and always foolishly opposing the protagonist. You guys are going too far! Even though he has some flaws, he also has his good points. ✨ For example, his defense of women's rights, and, um... And... Um... Anyway! Baoyu wasn't that bad.
With so many girls in *Dream of the Red Chamber*, why do you keep writing about Aunt Mei and Red Plum Blossom? Next time, are you going to write about Chunmei, the maid? And that Yangzhi, always courting death. Her own sister doesn't even have as much screen time as them. The protagonist, as a time traveler, is easier to bully than anyone else.
I think the author really struggled to write this part about Qin Keqing. There are all sorts of inexplicable and baffling plot points. What kind of powerful eunuch is he? The Jia family has been weak for a long time, and besides, there's only Jia Zhen. If he's killed, so be it. Who can say anything? Who will try to find a reason for his death?
Having read over a hundred chapters, I'm currently unable to find a cure and must take my leave. Xue Pan's usual recklessness is completely absent, and his methods for handling the Xue family's troubles, aside from being laughable, are just a bit too much for me right now. He's supposed to pay his respects to Lin Ruhai, but they arrange for someone to intercept him at the appointed time?
I've only read the beginning, so I have a few points to make. First, since you're writing a novel based on *Dream of the Red Chamber*, it needs to be faithful to the original work. In your depiction, the other branches of the Xue family are vying for the family fortune, and Aunt Xue and Baochai are practically powerless against them. Xue Pan is also portrayed as a simpleton in the original work.
Is the protagonist out of her mind? She has to fawn over a maid and has a concubine; does she think she's some kind of god? I've read so many novels, and I've never seen one more aggrieved than the protagonist. Is the protagonist trying to promote equality for all?
Transmigrating into Baochai's brother is just as bad as transmigrating into Lin Daiyu's father—both are idiots. Even Baochai couldn't catch you, what a load of crap you've transmigrated into!
The protagonist seems to have a somewhat masochistic personality, preferring spoiled and demanding characters. Not only did he choose Yangzhi as his personal maid, but he was also smug about getting Qingwen. He completely forgets the time Qingwen mocked him, a mistress who's constantly being scolded and given the cold shoulder by her maid. Truly an unusual personality. This mistress seems a bit resentful. Anyone else feel the same way?
Hmm, I feel like Qingwen is too spoiled and arrogant. In ancient times, if a maid dared to hit her master and even disfigure him, she would be beaten to death, which would be too lenient. The protagonist shouldn't spoil her too much, really.
I came to see a traditional opera, but all I got was fighting over family fortunes and Aunt Mei stuff—it was all so boring. A bunch of shrewd, worldly people; how could the protagonist, with his limited intelligence, possibly outmaneuver them? These are all wealthy families and merchants; which of them would actually engage in such scheming and lose to the protagonist? It's like watching a clown.
