Great Plot-Driven Reads, Mostly Historical
Books I like, shared with everyone Many of these are historical novels. The big-name authors are already well known, so I won’t recommend them here. I’ll focus on less famous ones instead. This is my first list, so it isn’t very detailed yet. I’ll fill it out later.
Mainly Recommending Late Ming Novels!
No marriage alliances, no reparations, no ceded territory, no tribute. The emperor guards the frontier; the ruler dies defending the state. After the Yuan dynasty fell, the Ming was established by the Han people on Chinese soil. Its founding improved the status of the Han, restoring the majority population to a commoner's standing and creating favorable conditions for China's future development. Though the Ming realm was smaller than the Yuan's, at its height it held the Mongols in check to the
Historical Masterpieces
I started reading web novels with "Qie Ming". Later I read works by Chi Hu and Te Bie Bai, though the latter's stories dragged on too much. Then I came across Ke Shan Meng's "Wan Ming" and Lao Bai Niu's "Xiao Bing". I just couldn't get through "Xu Nan Ming", and after that I ran out of things to read. This list is limited to excellent historical novels that are still being serialized. Whether they're good is a matter of personal taste, of course. At least I can keep reading these, and the writin

I read and review every book on this list before adding it. I won't pad it with filler, and the quality is solid. Sometimes I'll include books that got me into reading, and I'll mark those. Most of the blurbs are based on my reactions and impressions while reading, so they may be a little hard to follow. I also add books I'm currently reading first, then fill in the blurbs bit by bit. If there's a book you like, leave its title in the comments and I'll check it out.

I've read all three of the author's books, and they all advocate for a pro-gentry class! So, let's discuss: as time travelers, do you lean towards the gentry or the working class/peasant class? Personally, I lean towards the working class/peasant class! In my opinion, a single-interest group will eventually become too powerful to control!
The title of the protagonist's son, Ma Shiying, is very useful. Ma Shiying's reputation is still quite good now that the Donglin Party has all surrendered. He is the Grand Secretary and his reputation hasn't been exaggerated in later historical records.
Let's discuss why there are Ming Dynasty fans and Qing Dynasty critics. There are two points: 1. The rulers of the Ming Dynasty did not surrender or compromise with the invaders, while the history of the late Qing Dynasty is truly humiliating. The rulers lacked backbone and only further oppressed their people, treating them as less than human.
A protagonist who doesn't rebel and become emperor doesn't deserve to time travel. Heaven letting you travel is a sign of its favor, not a reason for you to become a slave.

The words are so melancholic, can't you just say them properly? I really admire 17 years of style, stop being silly, okay? I dare not subscribe to the whole thing this time 😢
Supporting the Ming Dynasty? But the Ming Dynasty wasn't as wonderful as Ming fans imagine.
Author, your book has warped values, promoting themes of betrayal and selling out. It even associates itself with "Water Too Cold." How can a book like this become popular?
Supporting the Ming dynasty means being an enemy of the people.
What the heck? Did we end up whitewashing the Donglin Party while we were writing this?
