A History Fiction Lover's List
A brief list of books I’ve enjoyed over the years of reading web novels.
The Qing Dynasty and Republican Era
If you enjoy novels set in the late Qing and early Republican eras, come take a look. Some books I’ve read have since been censored: The Great Hero of the 1911 Revolution, The Great Warlord of the 1911 Revolution, Warlords of the 1911 Revolution, The Iron-Blooded Republic, The Beiyang Warlord, and Speculators of the Republic. Lately, I’ve noticed there are fewer and fewer books on my list…

A satisfying read is what matters most. No brainless characters, no goody-two-shoes, just total domination. If you like power-trip stories, save this list.

The author actually wants to maintain the patriarchal system in the countryside, so where does the cheap labor force for your industrial development come from? Where did the population of your overseas colonies come from? If you develop industry, who will you sell the industrial products to? The natural economy of small farmers hinders the development of industry. How does the British industrial labor force solve this problem? It was through the bloody land enclosure movement that the farmers were driven off the land. Don't be too idealistic. Early industrialization was accompanied by bloody pains, and colonial developers had a high mortality rate. These problems are unavoidable. You can learn about the history of industrial development and colonial history in Europe. In addition, colonization is very cruel. It is a struggle for living space and a bloody history of killing. China's ancient reforms and innovations basically failed, and modern Western countries' reforms and innovations have all seen bloodshed. Without iron and blood, they cannot continue. How can one be an emperor and develop industry without a heroic heart? This will involve bloodshed, and the game of hegemony cannot be played!
There is an error in the latest chapter. There is no Zheng Chenggong in history, only Zhu Chenggong.
This is not writing a novel, but speaking. The author is always there to say it. From the author's perspective, not the protagonist's perspective.
The protagonist behaves completely in a modern way and with ideas brainwashed by the West... In that era, it was so embarrassing
The author uses business to rule the country, but he doesn't know that countries that use business to run the country will be beaten to shit by other countries.
The most rubbish historical article I have ever read, there is a plot about using paper larger than A4 paper as banknotes, with a God of Wealth printed on the back. According to the printing standards of that era, this picture is simply too beautiful. I even wonder if the author has put too many Chinese New Year paintings on his door.
The entire book is told in narration, without any plot interaction. There are no scenes, characters, or dialogue. The entire article is the author's personal opinion and Baidu information.
I have read dozens of chapters, and to be honest, I don't know if the author is trying to cater to some readers, or if he really has read too much street stall literature and believes it himself. There are many one-sided, simple, and stereotyped historical perceptions in this novel, as well as errors in some historical common sense. Moreover, the author does not seem to know much about European history and culture, and has not done much research on the composition and power system of European countries (well, the author should not be a senior P agency player). Moreover, the author seems to have some problems with the composition of classes, civilizations, countries, nations, and power agencies. The charm of time-travel novels is indeed that the author can build a country and world that conforms to his own ideas. But if the author's own understanding of the world cannot be recognized by readers, the novel will be tasteless.
It feels like after the death of the protagonist, Da Zhou is still destined to be a slave culturally. The protagonist keeps talking about the level and height of civilization. Please take a look at how many years of development the world's civilizations have accumulated. At that time in the book, Chinese culture had been almost castrated by the Manchus, and the protagonist still didn't care about anything and relied on others to realize themselves? What level of civilization are you talking about? How many years does the protagonist have to live? Even the foundation is gone, no matter how high you try, it's just bullshit. Just talk about braids. If you say you don't want to grow your head or not, then impose a heavy tax on those with braids and never become an official. Is this difficult? They also say that high-level civilization does not lie in food, clothing, housing and transportation, but in language and writing. Now that language and writing exist, there are still a lot of people who recognize their foreign fathers but not their ancestors. Lu Xun and others did not use Chinese characters to write book titles, but they did things to destroy their ancestors. Is this the height of civilization you're talking about?
The author has a lot of personal stuff, and some people may agree with the author's political views. After reading it, I feel that the late Zhou Dynasty in the novel will definitely collapse. After all, it is still a completely feudal dynasty (unless the protagonist is immortal). From the description, the successor of the dynasty is still a feudal prince-like figure. Maybe he has come into contact with a lot of new cultures. Tongbian is very long-winded. Maybe the protagonist only said a few words, and the introduction of various related text materials can fill several chapters. After reading this article, I felt that the author described a utopian world of his own imagination (China is a country with a particularly large area, possessing all kinds of resource areas around the world, the people at the bottom will never rebel, and the original feudal landlord forces will always be loyal to the protagonist) (and they suddenly changed No longer exploiting the peasants), the new capitalism is also very honest, and the new militarism is also very honest. The two forces in the government, the old feudal surrender officials + the gentry eight-part imperial examination = the new school student officials + the protagonist's old team, the military, live in peace and handle government affairs together. What a beautiful idea.
