Dreaming Back to the Ends of the Earth: A Historical Fiction Recommendation Hub
🌟 This list is really more of a bookmark folder. Every book here is one I plan to read, am currently reading, or have already finished. I wouldn't include any books I don't want to read myself. There are also some books I haven't recommended individually, only mentioned in the descriptions of other books. That doesn't mean they're bad. I just don't think they need a separate recommendation. They're either too well known, similar in style to the books I recommend, or written by the same author. S

The author frequently applies his own ideas to those from the Song and Ming dynasties onwards.
The author constantly projects ideas from the Song and Ming dynasties onward, and frequently criticizes this or that. But after the Warring States period, there wasn't nearly as much controversy. Without Confucianism suppressing the entire nation's thought, and during a time of flourishing diverse schools of thought, people were still quite wild. If this had happened after the Han dynasty, how could the Qin dynasty, with its meager exploitation of the people, have ever perished?
Now that he's on the throne, it's no longer appropriate for him to personally oversee everything. In my opinion, so far, the Qin camp has been entirely dominated by the main characters, while figures like Han Xin and Xiao He are merely historical figures to be admired.
The author places too much emphasis on so-called "popular support." Who would dare to oppose a stable military?
Having traveled to the Qin Dynasty for so long, they still haven't invented paper. I've always wanted to foster a free exchange of ideas, develop national schools, and cultivate talent, yet we never invented printing to promote the publication of books by various schools of thought.
I'm speechless. You transmigrated and became Qin Er Shi, and you're worried about an invasion by the Mauryan Empire? And you're a history PhD student? If you implemented new policies, reduced corvée labor, improved people's livelihoods, and promoted a scientific outlook (encouraging invention and innovation) for decades, wouldn't this earth be yours to conquer?
Seeing the author constantly praising the Mauryan Empire, I did some research on Baidu. At this point in time, the Mauryan Empire only had about 20 years left before its demise. It was the end of a dynasty! If they still had a million-strong army at this stage, the country shouldn't have collapsed so quickly. Do you think every dynasty was as powerful as the Han Dynasty?
Was Qin Shi Huang not a tyrant? Don't be fooled by history! (Author's note: Please mark this post as a featured post!)
Here I want to restore a truth that Confucianism has distorted for its own purposes. When you carefully compare it with the "benevolent and righteous rulers" that later generations have praised, you will be surprised to find that this legendary "first tyrant" actually did things that were more benevolent and wiser than them! I.
The plot is severely lacking in intelligence in the early episodes. Zhao Gao dared to send assassins to kill Fusu even before Qin Shi Huang was dead? The food for the protagonist's subordinates was tampered with by the people under the Xianyang magistrate, and Qin Shi Huang actually ignored the Xianyang magistrate? Unbelievable.
Having read up to chapter 29, I personally feel that the protagonist is simply doing the same things as Fusu, just with a different name. Where is the protagonist's decisiveness and unwavering resolve? He insists on evidence and facts in everything, displaying indecisiveness – isn't he just another Fusu? Where is the Qin Dynasty's practice of ruthlessly executing entire families? And the interrogation and torture! Is this the style of Qin Shi Huang?
After unification, instead of focusing on increasing food production, they implemented family planning, causing a population explosion. With one woman giving birth to ten children, even with the limited medical care of ancient times, doubling the population in twenty years wouldn't be a problem.
