Historical Romance I’ve Stockpiled
The female lead isn't a pushover, the plot generally holds up to scrutiny, and there are no Athena types or stories where the protagonist is smart and everyone else is an idiot. These are books I think are readable, without making me want to throw my phone in frustration. 23333 When I have time, I'll try out recommended books. If I like them, I'll add them here.

Fates Begin and End in Their Time, All Is Heaven's Will
I read all kinds of books, so my recommendations are all over the place too. I read different genres depending on my mood, and whether I add or remove books is a matter of mood as well. As the title says, all things have their time: sometimes I fall in love with a book, sometimes I hate it. It's all fate.

Too much nonsense! It's like watching an explanation! There's just too much drivel! This is the first book I've ever read that's so full of rambling!
We're not here to read about Qing Dynasty history or the extensive family relationships of Emperor Kangxi's aunts and uncles; I'm just here to read the novel. 🤫
It's not that I'm intentionally trying to downplay the author's hard work, but I just want to vent. Every time a character appears in the novel, the author devotes a huge amount of time to their background and history, detailing all sorts of relationships and family connections. It's utterly frustrating to read…
The protagonist is an idiot.
The article describes a woman who lived four lifetimes, including memories of her first life in the deep palace, and her experience researching Qing Dynasty history in the 21st century. She's a mere novice in the palace, timid and fearful. It's as if she hasn't learned anything in four lifetimes, a wasted life. Born into an official family, she's still afraid of everyone with similar backgrounds.
Too much nonsense, I can't stand it anymore.
Too much nonsense! Too verbose!
The entire novel is filled with rambling nonsense; two-thirds of the plot is spent introducing history and background! The female lead is a complete idiot; her presence in this female-centric novel is practically nonexistent! The author never gets to the point! Every few sentences are spent on the backgrounds of the harem characters or the conflicts of the previous dynasty!
It's too wordy; it makes my eyes dizzy.
I came here to relax and read a novel, not to learn history. Author, could you please reduce the amount of historical background information?
You wrote five chapters when one chapter was enough.
Everyone's just padding the word count! Aren't you forcing us to read pirated content? What kind of writing is this?! You dragged out a plot that could be finished in one chapter into several chapters of useless nonsense! Author, when you're chatting in real life, doesn't anyone complain that you're long-winded and never get to the point?
It's a very bland narrative. Most of the text is dedicated to explaining the reasons and origins of the story; the plot is too simple and brief, and the characters' inner thoughts are barely described. In short, it feels similar to reading a history book—lacking in excitement and utterly boring. 😁
