The Great River Flows East
To establish the heart for Heaven and Earth, to secure a future for the people, to carry on the lost teachings of the sages of the past, and to bring peace to all generations. Zhang Zai. Display the heads at the post station on Gaojie Street, among the foreign envoys’ residences, so they may be seen for thousands of miles: those who dare offend the mighty Han will be executed, no matter how far away they are. Ban Gu. The moon of The Legend of Qin shines over passes that have stood since the Han;

A Game Is Like a Life, but a Book Is a Whole World
Just looking for books that are satisfying, fun, and easy on the stomach. I’ve tried countless duds and am immune to them all now! I started with online gaming novels, then read Blasphemy and discovered Jiang Nan’s books. Reading Rise of the Dragon Path introduced me to Xue Hong. Reborn: The Business and Officialdom, a rebirth novel, and the political novels Riding the Tide and The Leader were all astonishing. Juan Tu’s mind-bending stories are great, and there are plenty of excellent infinite-f

Military Industry and Real-Economy Farming Stories Worth Reading
Empty talk harms the nation! Hard work, and being reborn, make the nation strong! (Just kidding.) The books on this list have all been carefully selected by me, after reading them first. So updates may be a little slow... Please be patient! Most are about military industry and industrial development. There are a few farming stories mixed in, since good novels focused purely on military industry and industrial development are hard to find... Digging through the library is a pain, and these books

Recommendations welcome, and please bookmark! Good historical novels have been getting harder and harder to find in recent years. I can't find anything good, so I can barely update this list. (⇀‸↼‶) Here are two classics. P.S. Readers, feel free to recommend well-researched historical novels. I prefer stories grounded in historical sources. No overpowered protagonists, System stories, or other wish-fulfillment fiction, please.

Confessions of a Book-Addicted Young Man (Early Picks)
A plot-focused list, with engaging storytelling as the key. I usually follow new authors and early-stage books (at least they were new when I found them (｢･ω･)｢ hey), and I remove books I give up on later. Most of these are currently updating, and hopefully none will be abandoned (●, ●)
Books I'm Still Following After the Tide Has Receded
I’ve dropped lots of books partway through. Not many stay on my list all the way. I like winding, unpredictable stories and lives full of twists and turns and fresh ideas.

The author and readers are at odds. Readers want to see the protagonist utilize his technological advantages to develop new equipment, but the author disagrees, preferring to play a hot-blooded, goofy character. It's likely that the author's own readership contains quite a few goofballs.
The author has released a new book? Congratulations! I've been following your books since college, and it's been many years since I graduated. It feels so familiar! I'm going to wait until it's fully published before I read it.
Starting from the second volume, I couldn't understand the protagonist's role in the war. His system is basically useless, only good for reconnaissance. Even then, it could be used for actions like decapitating commanders or blowing up ammunition depots to locally improve the battle situation.
Imperial Eagle, Long Live Joachim, Imperial Sky, William III... Um, are all of these gone? 😓
Hello author, I listened to your book on Himalaya FM, titled "Please Call Me William III." I thought it was very well written and wanted to check it out, but I found that your book has been taken down. However, on Himalaya FM, a narrator published your work in 2018, and it's now a premium paid service. I'm quite curious, so I asked him if he had the copyright.
Call me William III, Imperial Ambition, Rebuilding a New Era of Naval Power, Imperial Sky. I didn't subscribe to everything except for "Long Live Joachim," alas, now it's all gone.
Most importantly, there was no church on the warship; that was incredibly disloyal.
The beginning of this book was quite awkward; what was the author even doing? It's a level below the author's previous works.
The author is always fixated on realism, spending too much time on unimportant plot points. The story fails to develop around the book's highlights: the floating fleet, the protagonist's artillery skills, and the transmigrator's ability to alter the environment. This excessive focus on realistically depicting the military in another world, while repeatedly describing these three key elements from a peripheral, observer's perspective, is the book's biggest failure. It's a real shame.
What happened to all those books? Empire Sky, Hearts of Iron, Wilhelm III? Where did they go? Were they censored?
