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. Recommend more power-trip and invincible-protagonist stories to me. If they're really satisfying, I'll add them. New power-trip stories are added regularly, so follow the list. One star: Trash Two stars: Mediocre Three stars: Worth a read Four stars: Great Five stars: Masterpiece The ratings reflect my personal taste, so don't take them as

The author actually wants to maintain the patriarchal system in rural areas. Where will the cheap labor force for industrial development come from? Where will the population of your overseas colonies come from? Who will you sell your industrial products to? The small-scale peasant economy hinders industrial development. How did Britain solve its industrial labor problem?
The latest chapter contains an error; there was no Zheng Chenggong in history, only Zhu Chenggong, the Emperor of the Imperial Surname.
This isn't writing a novel; it's telling a story. The author is always there, speaking from the author's perspective, not the protagonist's.
The protagonist acts entirely with a modern mindset combined with Western indoctrination... In that era, it was incredibly awkward.
The author believes in governing the country through commerce, unaware that countries that govern through commerce are often beaten to a pulp by other countries.
The worst historical fiction I've ever read includes a scene where they use paper larger than an A4 sheet as currency, with a God of Wealth printed on the back. Given the printing technology of that era, the image is simply too beautiful; I even suspect the author pasted too many New Year's paintings on their door.
The entire book is narrated, with no plot or interaction whatsoever. There are no scenes, characters, or dialogues. The whole thing consists of the author's personal opinions and information from Baidu.
After reading dozens of chapters, honestly, I don't know if the author is trying to cater to certain readers or has simply read too much low-brow literature, to the point of believing it themselves. This novel contains many one-sided, simplistic, and stereotypical historical observations, as well as errors in some historical facts.
It feels like even after the protagonist's death, the Great Zhou culture remains culturally subservient. The protagonist keeps spouting nonsense about civilization levels and advancements. Please look at all the civilizations in the world with a rich history; they've all undergone years of development.
The author has a lot of personal opinions, and some people may agree with the author's political views. After reading it, I felt that the Great Zhou Dynasty in the novel would definitely collapse in its later stages, after all, it was still a completely feudal dynasty (unless the protagonist is immortal).
