A Mixed Bag of Reads

Books I Like
Everyone has their own tastes. After more than ten years as a bookworm, I wanted to share some books I love. It's a shame many classics are no longer available, like The Struggles of a Little Townsman and The Taoist in Jin Yong's World. I'll leave out some books I liked back then but that feel dated now.

Some Books I Think Are Pretty Good
I've been reading for six years. I'd say I've moved beyond the beginner stage and am now an intermediate reader. Here are some books I think are pretty good. I have no idea what's going on with the review process lately. I added a new book and it didn't pass review, then I found out one of the blurbs for an older recommendation was the problem. Anyway, hardly anyone looks at this list, so I'm done writing blurbs. Having to keep changing them is annoying.

It has to be satisfying, it has to be fun!!! ←_←~(￣▽￣)~(￣▽￣)~This is unbelievably satisfying~ No preaching. Having fun is what matters most.

Novels That Leave You Happy and Energized
A curated selection of all kinds of good books. My standards: they should leave you feeling satisfied, without too much filler, and the protagonist shouldn't be a robot, a heartless person, or an idiot. They should have both intelligence and emotional awareness. They can have ambitions, but shouldn't be ruthless plunderers. The plot should be compelling, not just the same thing repeated over and over. Books that meet these standards are worth keeping, in my opinion, and I'm willing to pay to rea

Many elementary school students on Qidian (a Chinese Q&A website) think that having an army is enough to govern the world, and that anyone who disagrees can be killed. Is an army the foundation for your rule? Governing the world still requires strategy and tactics. The army is commanded by generals of all ranks; they are not tools or puppets who blindly obey orders.
"A Letter to the Dog Emperor" The title alone piqued my interest. "Tyrant"—most time travelers dream of becoming a wise and benevolent emperor, so why this book features a "tyrant"? I patiently read on, gradually becoming engrossed. Zhu Xiaosong's time-traveled character is the Chongzhen Emperor! "How will you revitalize this vast land? Listen to my advice:
"What do you think our future will be like?" The Dog Emperor casually asked, leaning against the old tree. Having met each other at the tender age of first love, they always wanted to imagine the rest of their lives. "Emmmm… I feel like you'll become a haggard old woman, while I'll still be handsome and dashing. Don't blame me then..." Boom!!!
This is the most enjoyable historical novel I've ever read. When I first started reading it, I was screaming like a groundhog inside! It's still on my reading list, and I can finish it soon so I can continue reading. I read it last night while listening to music, and it was a wonderful experience. Watching the emperor (the author) amass a backlog of chapters, writing until midnight.
What did the tyrant do?
Since the New Year, I hadn't wanted to engage in any activities. Everyone was happily engrossed in their books, occasionally exchanging playful banter in the group chat. We all got along well, and following the updates and teasing the "dog emperor" (a derogatory term for the emperor) had become a daily routine…
I've noticed many of us have fallen into a misconception. I like the Ming Dynasty and dislike the Ming Dynasty. But if someone said the Ming Dynasty was going to be restored tomorrow, I would suppress it today, just like with the Russians—a dead Russian is a good Russian. But those "byns" are different; they genuinely wish for an immediate restoration.
Peter the Great
As I read on, I suddenly thought of Peter the Great and Emperor Meiji. Of course, the main reason is that schools have started teaching about these two figures. I feel that the Ming Dynasty is very similar to Russia under Peter the Great, not in terms of national strength, but in the combination of an enlightened and iron-fisted emperor and a group of feudal ministers.
This is pure wish-fulfillment fiction. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it in high school, but now it's riddled with plot holes. Just one example is enough to kill you with poison: the emperor issues a decree of never increasing taxes, and all the people in the land know this and are grateful. Are you kidding me? Did the late Ming Dynasty have such strong grassroots governance?
After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou served as Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince, Minister of War, and concurrently Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate. He entered the Inner Court to assist in military affairs and was awarded the title of Grand Secretary of the Secretariat. He enjoyed high official rank and great wealth, and his power and influence were immense.
