A Post-80s Veteran Bookworm on Qidian: Only the Best, No Fantasy!
If you like stories about punching your way through the old folks' home in the south and kicking your way through the kindergarten in the north, this list isn't for you. But if you're level-headed and enjoy well-reasoned wish fulfillment, come join me and share some reads (⊙o⊙). As a standard post-80s reader, I've witnessed Qidian's rise and glory. These days I'm getting pickier and pickier. Am I really getting old? Qidian is now under Tencent, and the site's novels seem increasingly chaotic and

Historical and Urban Novels I Could Stick With
I've been a bookworm for 14 years. I like history and all kinds of urban fiction. I'm getting older, so I don't read fantasy or stories that are too far-fetched. My brain can't keep up! (A lot of readers hate single-heroine stories, multiple heroines, and scumbag harem protagonists, but I'm fine with them. When you read web novels, isn't the point to have a good time and enjoy the rush? My mindset is good, after all. I read to relax outside of work, and because of my personality, I can stick wit
My Personal Taste: No Vulgar or Tasteless Reads
No brainless harem fantasies. No mindless wish-fulfillment. No infantile protagonists who make everyone around them seem stupid. I like books with originality and something to say. The characters feel like real people, each with their own depth. My tastes are niche, and I refuse to compromise. I hand out leaderboards to authors when I feel like it. That’s just how I roll. I only recommend books I’ve read. I won’t recommend anything I haven’t. Having the protagonist become emperor for no reason

Books That Made an Impression on Me in Over 20 Years of Reading
I've been reading for decades and have tried every kind of book. I don't blindly worship famous authors. I've read so much over the years, yet there are books by some big-name authors I've never read, or gave up on after the opening because I didn't like them. I don't have any particular favorite genre. I read whatever's good, and I'm getting pickier all the time. I want originality, good writing, a smooth plot, and believable events. I'm a bit obsessive, and even one glaring flaw is enough to m

A good book, so beautifully written. It's rare to read Xiancao carefully word for word in recent years. Thousands of rewards for encouragement, thanks to the author!
A reward of 10,000 yuan will encourage the author, and the author will be greatly encouraged.
After reading a few chapters, I felt that the author was writing from the perspective of civil servants, but the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were the least wanted, like Xu Jie, who was a great upright official among the civil servants, and even defeated Yan Song. But from the time Xu Jie came to power to being cleaned up by Hai Rui, he was even more greedy than Yan Song. Every civil servant in the Ming Dynasty was killed one by one. There were definitely so many fish that slipped through the net, it was really hard to watch. Finally, don't say that Zhengde is a foolish king. Zhengde has been on the battlefield and cut down people. He can die after falling into the water. It is difficult to imagine that it was not the civil servants who jointly killed the eunuchs. Let's talk about the Xuanda War. According to the history books of the civil servants, less than 100 people died in total. You must know that in ancient times, more than that were killed by scouts alone.
Emmm, the Ming Dynasty also had a rule that the two emperors must be the eldest and the younger. I thought it was unique to the Qing Dynasty, just like Tongzhi and Guangxu.
Let's complain about what the author said: "Sketch can create a genre in the Ming Dynasty." To put it bluntly, the author does not understand the history of Chinese art at all, and it is completely taken for granted. Scholars in the Ming Dynasty admired literati paintings, which emphasized brushwork and ink, and extremely despised the highly realistic style, because they considered it to be "craftsmanship" and inferior to the mainstream. In the late Ming Dynasty, Western missionaries came to China one after another and brought Western painting techniques. Did they cause a big shock in the Chinese painting world? Not at all, because Chinese scholars simply looked down upon such a demoralizing thing. There were many foreign painters in the court of the Qing Dynasty, and they were deeply loved by the Manchu emperor. However, the emperor only regarded their paintings as curiosities. In other words, they were fancy and skillful paintings, just for fun and not elegant at all. Ancient Chinese painting has a highly self-sufficient system that cannot be easily overturned by Western painting. In fact, it was not until the New Culture Movement that Western painting really began to impact Chinese painting and begin to compete with Chinese painting. Before that, Western painting was not adapted to the local conditions in China and had no vitality at all.
Pig's trotters are really saints. They have been living in the belly of a dog for more than 50 years. There is no snobbishness and cliques to clean up the fields. If you offend others, you don't take the safety of your family into consideration. If it weren't for the halo of pig's trotters, you would have died a hundred times. Being a reform tool in the hands of the emperor is not an exaggeration. Every family, if you don't have any ambitions, just treat yourself as a rich man. It is estimated that crony disputes and moths from all over the world have killed more people than the Tatars, so it is safer to stay away from the emperor. Either you can reform by becoming the emperor yourself, otherwise you are irresponsible to your family.
The most annoying thing is that people who go back in time and immediately take the imperial examination can still advance all the way. You have modern knowledge, but you treat the ancients, including the imperial examination, as too much fun. Now that you can recognize all the characters in the Four Books and Five Classics, I admire you for being awesome!
Are written about the relationship between Guan Qing and Mao, the prefect of Guanqing in the Ming Dynasty. Your writing style is really poor.
Speechless, the victims are almost starving to death, the rats have almost eaten all the bark of the trees, they will sell their wives for a bag of grain, a corrupt official is caught, and the people actually hit him with rotten eggs and vegetable leaves? Let me go, rotten eggs and vegetable leaves are good things. If you don't eat them, why are you a disaster victim?
The poison test is over. The problems in the first hundred chapters are not too big. The more you write, the more brainless you are. The poisonous point in the first hundred chapters is that the protagonist has a bunch of snobbish folks. Before he got the fame, they all wanted to kill him. After the protagonist gets the fame, he can turn them into famous families and fawn over them. The protagonist has no reaction at all. None, I am still respectful and honest, and I picked up the future emperor Guo Jia thousands of miles away. I was angry at Prince Ning in all kinds of ways. I could crush him to death with one finger. Anyway, the people around me all wrote very stupid things, and then I pretended to be a hero to save the beauty. I was speechless.
