I Was Once a Guest Beneath Luoyang's Blossoms
I put this list together in my spare time to recommend some good books I've read. Fellow readers, feel free to suggest more. As a rule, I don't recommend books under 500,000 words. I won't start a story that's too short, since waiting is the most painful part. I'm pretty selective. I'll definitely check out anything you recommend, but whether it makes the list depends on its quality. After all, I haven't even added my own books to the list _(눈_눈」∠)_ Lastly, I read both male- and female-oriented

Farming Fiction: No Empty Dreams, No Hollow Hype 🌾
🌹🌹🌹🌹 The farming novel is a label with a remarkably rich range of meanings. “Farming” first came from strategy video games. Players follow the principles of “build high walls, stockpile provisions, and delay claiming kingship,” quietly developing their own territory and gradually expanding their power until they conquer everything. It tests a player's ability to plan and coordinate. At its heart are striving, progress, and taking things one step at a time. Early farming novels were usually set
A List to Pass the Time (History, Fanfiction, and Xianxia)
I really haven't found many good books lately, though plenty on my list are still updating. (Most were added gradually after I'd read them.) I'll finish some of my backlog before looking for new ones. Since I've read most of these, the list reflects my personal tastes pretty strongly. My preferences keep changing, too, so it's a bit of a mess 🤔. Please bear with me. (Though maybe hardly anyone looks at my list anyway.) Thanks to July for the joy your books brought me. I dedicate this to July, t

Reading Drought Relief Station
[Pinned] My reviews are too vague or focus too much on the early parts of a book, and they’re not very well written! If you’d like me to revise a review, leave a comment. I really will replace or edit it if needed, no empty flattery! I’ve been reading web novels for 16 years, and I’m so tired of mindless garbage. Books that are already popular don’t need me to recommend them. I mostly recommend niche stories, and hope they won’t be overlooked! My main interests are historical and urban fiction,
Talent and Passion in Equal Measure
A writer’s depth determines the dramatic tension of a story and how vivid its characters feel. The passion an author puts in determines a work’s soul. This list doesn’t include formulaic, hollow, and tedious works.

Handpicked Great Reads
Here are some excellent books. I've been reading for many years, and lately I've had a serious reading drought. I went through my shelves and gathered some older books I thought were pretty good, then made this list to recommend them. I'd also love to hear your recommendations, so we can all get through our reading droughts. I don't stick to any particular genre: I care about the plot and the writing. If you've got a good book to recommend, let me know.
Personal Recommendations
I've read a lot of novels, and sometimes friends ask me to recommend a few. I think and think, then realize I've forgotten so many of the books I read before. When someone mentions a protagonist's name, I vaguely remember the story, but when they ask for the title, I'm completely stumped. So I made this little list of books I've enjoyed, both ones I remember from before and new ones I come across. Then when friends ask me for recommendations, I can just share the list. Easy and convenient.

An Old Bookworm's Reading List
I only recommend books I've read. I prefer DND, historical, and urban fiction. 1. I have high standards for the author's writing. 2. I expect the settings and basic facts in a story to make sense. 3. I have fairly high standards for the plot. 4. I absolutely can't stand idiotic characters. Overall, my recommendations focus on four aspects: writing, characters, plot, and setting, followed by an overall recommendation. Sometimes I like a book because of its author, not the work itself.

It could have become a masterpiece like the late Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately the author's own courage and insight are not enough, plus he is probably a fan at heart, so in the end it is only at the level of dry food+. I still say the same thing, the more you know about these feudal dynasties, the less likely you are to fan them. What's more, among the unified dynasties, the Ming Dynasty is still the last type of crotch-pushing type, which is better than defeating the Song Dynasty (slavery colonial empires such as the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are not considered orthodox).
The two worst things I can't accept. Having a harem in modern society, having a single heroine in ancient society.
Expectations and expectations
Ming Chuan has a lot of novels, a lot of junk, and a lot of classic works. No matter who writes them, there will be a lot of pressure. But I am still very confident in Seizing the Luhou. After all, I have been unique and unique in the Three Kingdoms, and I have unified the country once with the natives in "Seizing the Tripod". Strictly speaking, Winning the Ding is unfinished, but the opening is powerful, the middle flows smoothly, the story is powerful, and the writing is concise. In addition to the vivid image of the protagonist himself, other characters such as Jiang Jin, Dian Yi, Zhang He, etc. Are also very successfully created. Among the Three Kingdoms novels, I am ignorant of the idea of unifying the country in an indigenous way. This is the only one I have ever seen. The protagonist of "Open the Sea" is in Guangdong. It seems that this Ming Dynasty has a tendency to develop into the sea? There are many novels based on the sea and gradually conquering the interior, but there are very few good works. Although "Opening the Sea" has just begun its journey, a few chapters have already laid out a picture of the customs of the lower class, especially military households, in the Ming Dynasty. The protagonist's feelings of powerlessness and thoughts of trying to survive as an ordinary person are already very moving. The image characteristics of several of his subordinates were also portrayed by the author respectively. This also shows the author's profound writing skills. I believe that Duo Luhou can tell this story well, and I look forward to "Opening the Sea" becoming more and more moving.
The author is really miserable. He wrote a good book. The comments exploded first. There was a fight over whether he should be the emperor or not. Isn't this book about the middle of the Ming Dynasty? It was at its peak, and a feudal dynasty was rebelling at its peak. What did you think? Did you really think that you could do anything after reading the novel for two days? 😅
I would like to ask if this book can independently claim the throne and conquer the world? If you have been working for Zhu Ming, you should not read it.
When I read history books, I usually only read about people who were emperors, because I read history books just to see how history will change a lot in the future. . Especially the Ming and Qing Dynasties, not to mention the Qing Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, you were not the emperor, you were only a monarch and minister, and what you could change was very limited. The history you changed might be better or worse than the original history, and more likely, you could not change anything because you couldn't do the Ming Dynasty. In the middle Ming Dynasty, classes had been solidified, and there were already examples of reform failures; I won't go into detail about the late Ming Dynasty. Those who are kings and ministers only look to the early Tang Dynasty. . The above is just my personal opinion. I won't comment on this book because I haven't read it. I will take a brief look at it later. Pig's trotters are just for powerful officials, and this book is not my cup of tea!
Alas, I really liked Yan Qingyao being with the protagonist. Later it became clear that the protagonist liked Miss Yan, but the main wife turned out to be a supporting actress who appeared out of nowhere. . . Many people probably don't know what the position of a head wife in ancient China meant. Well.
I, Chen Mu, will not marry anyone other than shopkeeper Xiaoyan!
I am a dignified Chen Mu, a man of eight feet, a dignified third-grade officer who fought his way out of a pile of dead people with swords and guns. Why rely on the wife's family and the in-law family! I, Chen Mu, swept across the South China Sea and shocked all the barbarians. Who dares to laugh? Come on, I won't marry anyone other than shopkeeper Xiaoyan!
The Ming Dynasty would not be saved if it did not rebel and overthrow it and start over. From the very beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, land annexation was doomed and corruption was serious!
I don't want to see such a protagonist. The fate of the common people cannot be changed. The common people should be killed by the Ming Dynasty army. Even if it is useless to occupy the entire earth, the suffering is still the common people. The protagonist will continue to work for the emperor instead of seeking welfare for the common people.
