The Idle Fish's Great Reading List
I like you. Just read it already, don't keep me waiting.
I Just Remembered My Reading List. Adding a Few More 😊😊😊
I've read every book I recommend, and subscribed to nearly all of them once they went premium. The only exceptions are books published before 2013. If you want to advertise, please wait until a book has passed 300,000 words. I generally don't read anything shorter than that, unless it was written by an author I like.
Longyuan Heavenly Sect
Novels of all kinds, including fantasy, cultivation, urban, and military fiction. Whether they're by big-name authors or others, all I ask is that they're enjoyable and satisfying. I guarantee they're all quality reads. If there's a novel you like, send me a private message and I'll give it a read. If I think it belongs here, I'll add it to the list. Stay tuned.

Shu's Personal Reading List
Sensible, not childish or overblown. I recently made a category for books I was saving up to read, and realized... I'd never opened any of them again. Maybe I should rename it “Book Graveyard”?

Learn Something New
I personally like history, but reading the Twenty-Four Histories alone doesn't give me a particular perspective. Before college, I didn't read many books for review, but I grew to love historical fiction.
Books I Love
Power fantasies where the protagonist steps on everyone else: boring, but good for killing time.

Transmigrated Stories I Love
Transmigration isn't without a reason, and it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. There are soul transmigrations and body transmigrations. If you like that kind of story, give this list a follow. Your support keeps me going. It only takes a moment, right? I'm mainly hoping people will check it out. This list doesn't include novels where the heroine appears in the first 20 chapters, or where the protagonist can't walk straight after seeing a pretty girl. And a quick gripe about guys who lo

To completely condemn the Ming Dynasty scholar-officials, to say that the world was in chaos—I just want to laugh. Countless others wanted to become officials.
Did you notice? The author has a wealth of historical knowledge!
Are you treating people from ancient times like idiots? Or have you offended the entire court? If you offend the entire court, who will protect your empire? Who will fight for you? Do you think a crown prince without any backing can stand against the entire court? Even the emperor can't do anything about it; he can dismiss you at will, or exile you at will.
If you were to actually travel back to the Ming Dynasty, never blindly trust the history books. You must use your own judgment, because the History of Ming was written by the Manchus. The first half is relatively realistic and close to history, but the second half is entirely about vilifying the Ming Dynasty.
Overall, this book is fine, except for the slightly off-putting premise of the protagonist being too young at the beginning. It's worth reading, but if you're looking to brush up on history on Qidian, I wouldn't recommend it.
The author's writing style, scholarship, and wit are all excellent, and their historical perspective is sound. However, they lack writing experience. When writing about political intrigue, they create high suspense but fail to build up the tension, abruptly ending the story after much digression.
The beginning was quite enjoyable... But the ending was unbearable! Utterly pathetic! So many obstacles, so many stabs in the back... Basically, you can stab me a hundred times, but I'll still just exile you! How many times has Li Dongyang plotted against you? And you even married his daughter!
Chapter 19: Retreat, frame-up, and they've already come out with all that—why isn't the protagonist going to kill the Empress? Keep her alive for the New Year? With a system, can't he just quietly kill someone?
Shouldn't it be: "By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees!"
The author is back to writing system-themed urban novels.
