A Gathering Place for Readers with Nothing to Read!
In this vast sea of people, you may never know me, and I may never know you. But we can laugh together and get angry together over the same passage or story. That's a wonderful thing. We meet through books, and our connections are born from them. Is it books that bring us together, or society that keeps us apart? I don't know, and it doesn't matter. Still, it's a shame when good books go undiscovered. Some are written quite well but have few readers, buried in a vast sea of books. That's why I m

Reviews of Qidian Historical Novels
Reviews of the historical novels I've read. I praise and recommend the good ones, and criticize and mock the bad ones. I value logic and the patterns of history, so I'm not too keen on novice-friendly or wish-fulfillment novels.
The Reading Drought Relief Station!
Every book on this list has been carefully selected. Many include experiences drawn from the author's own life. I don't like simplistic stories. I read mainly to broaden my experience and discover different worlds. Urban and historical novels test an author's life experience; without enough of it, it's hard to write a story with real flavor! I've read hundreds of novels, and they've ruined my prospects. Now I want nothing at all! I've also developed some opinions of my own about fiction. Thanks

Continuously updating.
Feel-Good, Smart, and Showbiz Stories
I only recommend books that I have been able to follow through to completion. I have grown tired of simplistic novels, and the era of brainless stories is over. I now focus on intelligent novels with well-planned plots. Most involve transmigrate, reborn protagonists, the military, sports, or entertainment.

Avoid Beginner-Level Stories, Treasure Your Time: A Collection of Wild Ideas
Hey, are you tired of overpowered chosen-one heroes? They're born invincible, every woman who sees them falls for them for no reason, every man wants to become their sworn brother, and every villain is brainless and practically begs the hero to trample them. Every technique and opportunity is conveniently laid out for the protagonist. If they don't become ruler of the world and shatter the void, they can barely show their face in public. Who are these brainless wish-fulfillment stories insulting
A Veteran Reader's Picks
Personal favorites
Books Focused on Imagination and Logic
My list mainly recommends imaginative stories with smart characters, and has fewer power fantasies. I also make sure I've read every book on it. Some other books are pretty good too, such as Old Dao's This World Is on the Brink, Riding in Another World, and Half a Frog's From 1935 to 2020. Highly recommended.
Harvest in Autumn, Store for Winter
In my opinion, novels can make for a better reading experience if they have the following qualities: 1. An original premise or opening: Readers have to spend mental effort getting familiar with a story’s setting, and a fresh idea makes that easier to overlook. 2. A basis in reality and a sense of immersion: Readers often find it hard to relate to a completely imaginary world, and some details may violate scientific principles. 3. Well-paced emotional highs and lows. 4. A strong beginning and end
Stand Tall as a Cliff: Desirelessness Brings Strength, A Will Beyond the Ordinary
The sea embraces a hundred rivers, and greatness lies in its capacity to contain them. A cliff that rises ten thousand feet stands firm because it desires nothing. Behind the birth of every quality novel, there are often things we never see. Authors must avoid pressure from the outside world while overcoming the difficulties they place upon themselves: the confusion of being ignored, the bewilderment of poor reviews, the helplessness of missed updates, and fans who do not understand. These are a

A Comprehensive Reading List for Finished-Novel Fans
Since too many authors like to kill off their own stories before they are finished, I generally only read books that are confirmed complete or whose authors have such a solid reputation that completion is assured.

ST Dameng (001368) Chongzhen Shilu Annual Report Performance Preview: It is predicted that the full-year performance will drop significantly. Mainly because this year, due to the rise of competitor Dashun (301644), the market share in the north has dropped significantly. Due to the failure to take timely response measures such as downsizing and increasing efficiency, operating costs have remained high, business bad debts have increased, and the risk of delisting has increased. The company is working hard to save itself and planning a major asset restructuring. The board of directors meeting decided to temporarily suspend trading from the 21st day of the seventh month of the Chongzhen year. The resumption time has not been determined. Investors are advised to pay attention to relevant announcements and pay attention to investment risks.
Please help Daluoluo to be more refined, haha! Fengtian overcomes difficulties Fu Wei, the spirit of the emperor Gao, is in chaos today. The Western bandits are rampant in Sichuan and Shu, and the Eastern bandits are rampant in Liaozuo. They are rebellious and rebellious, stealing the sacred capital. Is it painful? Only by using force to quell the chaos can we reach Datong. Today the Holy Emperor is on the throne, but the mediocre ministers blocked the way to block the Holy One's hearing. He was ashamed of the Emperor above and turned into thieves so that he could not give full name to the festival. Li Ni, after the Party Xiang Yi Di, has no virtue, is especially disgusting, is shameless and unfeeling, deceives the world and steals reputation, runs rampant, seeks to taint historical facts, corrupts the general system, and is punished in the mouth, and the reward is based on the heart. The good ones will honor the five sects, and the evil ones will destroy the three clans. If there is no virtue in the country, it will bring disaster to the people. Relying on the talents of hawks and dogs, acting as minions, paying no attention to the people's livelihood, showing no consideration for the people's sentiments, imposing heavy taxes and resorting to militarism, doing nothing to bring peace to the people, and always harboring thoughts of chaos for the country. He desecrates the country and abuses the people, confuses the public with his evil words, poisons others with evil deeds, uses beauty to tear the earth apart to show his disloyal intentions, and incites resentment among the people to satisfy his own desires. "Book" said: "Heaven does evil, but you can disobey it, and you can do evil yourself, but you can't ignore it." Looking at the Eastern captives, they have the intention to divide the territory and split the land; they have the intention of harming the country and the people. They took advantage of the Mongolian tribes to gain self-importance, and disrupted the people of Liaodong to enrich themselves. Those who violate the law and discipline are more unruly than Zhou; those who harm the country and abuse the people are more powerful than Youli. God is angry, people are angry, and humans and gods are angry. Now the Emperor Ming is working hard in Longxing, revitalizing the old capital, raising millions of brave men from the south of the Yangtze River, saving all the people from fire and water, exterminating the rebels and coming to the imperial court. The two capitals and thirteen provinces, as well as the Chinese and foreign service kings and righteous men, have been destroyed. **Emperor Gao Fengtian founded the country, expelled the Tartars, and restored China. Emperor Taizongwen served Tianfeng to appease the people and punished the people for their crimes. All nations came to court. Shenzong showed that the emperor was a saint at home and a king at the outside. His martial virtues were obvious and he won all three campaigns. I serve the remnants of my forefathers and sects, and serve heaven to overcome difficulties. How dare I be lazy? However, since I came down from Nanxing, I have been working hard and sleeping nightly, and I have been in charge of the court for a long time. As a result, I have paid all my duties to the prince without any hesitation. The whole world leads the earth, regardless of the heart. All my ministers are of the same virtue. All the armies in the country organized their troops and troops to fight against the rebellion. As the righteous teacher pointed out, kill the thief at the head. Once the original evil has been eliminated, don't ask any questions. He has partisans, evil friends, and traitors, and he is willing to act as a rebel, and he will be killed without mercy! For spies, kill without mercy!
I agree with Da Luoluo's view. In essence, the tax collected by a political power is similar to the collection of protection fees by a gangster who maintains its business. It is normal to give up a situation that cannot be covered.
Currency exchange in the seventeenth century: Ming liang contained 34 grams of silver, Spanish silver peso contained 24 grams of silver, and 1 Ming tael was worth 1.4 Silver peso. 1 Pound contains 112 grams of silver, which can be exchanged for 3.3 Taels. 1 Dutch guilder contains 9.6 Grams of silver, and 1 Ming tael can be exchanged for 3.5 Dutch guilders. 1 Gold Louis is 8 grams of gold, equivalent to nearly 100 grams of silver, and can be exchanged for about 18 livres or francs (the silver content has been declining). 1 Gold louis can be exchanged for nearly 3 ming taels. One silver oyster contains just over 20 grams of silver and is worth 4 livres or francs. The Italian Florentine gold florin contains 3.5 Grams of gold and is worth 42 grams of silver, which is equivalent to 1.25 Taels of silver. The Ducat of Venice, Italy contains 3.5 Grams of gold, which is equivalent to 1.25 Taels of silver. The German mark contains 2.8 Grams of silver. One tale was worth 3 marks, and one tael was worth 12 marks. Indian rupee contains 10 grams of silver. Equivalent to 0.3 Taels. The Rakshasa Ruble is stamped directly with Taler silver cloth, and the silver content is the same as Taler. 1 Tael is worth 4 rubles. In the 17th century, the currency of Central and Western Asia was in chaos, with various adulterations and shrinkage of silver content. Therefore, the silver coin is generally the Spanish real, which is the Spanish peso.
And Comparison of Meng Hui and the Spring of the Ming Dynasty Both books are well written, with detailed history and profound textual research. Meng Hui is more life-like, with solid characters, more like a novel, especially the recent part about river management. There is no shortage of upright officials in Ming Dynasty. , There is no shortage of officials who do things, mainly the emperor's wonders, the development of science and technology is also very fast, and he also attaches great importance to the development of science and technology, and has deeply guided the development of heart shape. He has a lot of understanding of ancient technical historical materials. This book rescues the Ming Dynasty, which is very different. Mainly It tells the general context of historical development, with a lot of emphasis on military, politics, and diplomacy. The characters do not have distinct images. They are all NPCs, and the ministers are all funny~( ̄▽ ̄~). Although it adds a sense of humor, it does not feel like reading a historical novel at all, and it does not pay attention to the development of technology. The protagonist of this book seems to be a normal person, and the officials are all ridiculous. There is no upright official. After reading so many years, no one is willing to rule the country and bring peace to the world. It seems that Yu Qian, Zhang Juzheng, Sanyang, Gao Gong, Wang Yangming, there are no such officials anymore! Every official is selfish, Zhang Juzheng can figure out a whipping method, and it is extremely difficult for the emperor to go to local places to collect taxes in person! To borrow a sentence, Weisi people, who can I return to? I have read many books by the author, including The Dream of the Celestial Dynasty. Its reasoning often borrows historical allusions, including the text of the book, and most of them are based on Western European samples. For example, the Emperor Chongzhen in this book is the COPY of the Russian emperor (a man went to study in Western Europe alone, which is like a novel rather than history). His political system also borrowed a lot of Western history. The Dream of the Celestial Dynasty discusses many things. , It talks about how in the 18th century, the Ottomans, the sick man of West Asia, maintained a modern army of hundreds of thousands and could become a great power (but then the industrial revolution broke out). It also discussed the agrarian revolution in Poland, international trade by barter (not taking the road of industrialization, which was practiced by Marx), and the final modern deduction, designing Shanghai into a super metropolis, a country with low housing prices, high wages, consumerism, and low desires. Moreover, the author often copies Western European systems in system design and rarely speculates on modern systems. I personally have thoughts similar to those of the Industrial Party, and believe that the progress of social productivity is the meaning of historical progress. If productivity does not progress, and history will write another thousand or ten thousand years, civilians will still starve to death and die of exhaustion. Only with the development of productivity can civilians eat well and eat well, and have the opportunity to do more things, such as reading novels and supporting people who write novels. The Ming Dynasty itself was a typical feudal society. No matter how the social system is set up or calculated, what is the use if the productivity does not change? The productivity of the United States is stronger than that of Europe, Japan, and South Korea. Its system setting is far inferior to that of Germany, France, Britain, and Japan, but it is still the most powerful country. The United States is not strong in social system, not in freedom, democracy, but in social productivity! European and American systems are not the best either. There are companies like Wirecard that deliberately made a profit of 1.9 Billion euros. There are also super companies like Enron in the United States that committed financial fraud. Europe also issued sky-high fines to IBM and Apple!

Chongzhen, why so many people defend him? Didn't I already say it at the beginning? Although Chongzhen only has the appearance of a middle-aged man, he can't break through this long-lasting mess. But his diligence was no less than that of Emperor Gaozu, and he became an ancestor. And it's not just two days a day, seventeen years of hard work, getting up before dawn and falling asleep at midnight. Just look at the hard work of these seventeen years, how many people can do it? It's a pity that we don't understand the actual situation of the country. There is no competent person that Chongzhen trusts to help him understand. If you don't understand the country's true predicament, no matter how diligent you are, it will only push back the day of demise. With the death of Ming Dynasty, he cannot shirk his responsibility. But are you worthy of demoting him to the point of being useless?
The newly designed warship should have a lower freeboard, and there is no need to deploy a large number of artillery. There is no need to open gun windows on the side of the ship, and the artillery is arranged on the deck. A wooden house is built for each gun position on the deck, and the outside of the wooden house is made of iron. Ensure that the gunpowder on the artillery position is difficult to be detonated by enemy explosive shells. The ammunition depot should also be protected with iron plates, focusing on defensive ideas. Significantly lowering the stern floor reduces freeboard, lowers the center of gravity, and makes navigation more stable, which is beneficial to shooting accuracy, seaworthiness and comfort. Low freeboard, low stern and low wind resistance are also conducive to increasing the speed. The keel needs to be strengthened to increase the length-to-width ratio from less than 4 times that of the current Galen ship to 5 times or more. A slender hull can significantly increase speed. A hollow flying shear bow is used. The hollow point slightly raises the bow, and the flying shear cuts through the waves. Significantly reduces the bow resistance and significantly increases the speed. The bottom of the boat is coated with copper to reduce attachments and increase service life and speed. Because the hull is longer than the Galenic ship, the rocking will increase. Two copper bilge keels can also be attached to both sides of the copper bottom of the ship to reduce rolling and improve seaworthiness. Use a higher-strength mast to increase the soft sail area and increase the speed. The speed of the new ship will be 50% faster than Galen. Can reach 12 knots per hour. And it also has better defense against enemy shells.
The writing is not bad, but the plot arrangement is too poisonous. The plot is dragged out by forcing the enemy to keep the number of words, which is very awkward to watch. The late Ming Dynasty has been fighting with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties for decades, and the Spanish did not send a hair to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. As soon as the protagonist came to power, he went to Vietnam to plant fields. The Spaniards sensed the threat with foresight and predicted the rise of the Ming Dynasty. A governor took the initiative to aid the Qing Dynasty on his own initiative. This is really awesome. The Qing Dynasty also took the initiative to send people to join forces all over the world in Europe, and India rushed to send money to the Qing Dynasty. As long as your plot requires it, anyone in the world can activate the aura of wisdom or the aura of mental retardation. There is no logic at all, and there is no need to refer to historical forms. I have read six to seven hundred pictures. The author's writing style is indeed good and the story is quite strong, but I just can't stand it anymore.
Although the protagonists in Da Luoluo's historical novels are more reactionary than the last, and they all sit in positions of feudal rulers or bourgeoisie, the whole novel is still full of historical materialism. The choices of each character and each class are in line with their own interests. The landlord class and the capitalist class will compete, but they will also oppress the people together. It will not be like some historical novels, which make it seem as if every reactionary landlord class betrays its own class and stands on the side of the people. Traitors will remain traitors throughout their lives, and loyal ministers will always be loyal ministers. It is as if a person becomes a loyal minister or a traitor from the moment he is reincarnated, completely ignoring the historical environment of the characters at that time. In Da Luoluo's novel, treacherous ministers and traitors suddenly transformed into traitors, all of whom were unspeakably loyal. It seemed absurd and even made many people abandon the book, but there is no problem with the internal logic. Historical materialism mentions that a historical figure should be analyzed based on the historical conditions in which he lives. If the Wu family can obtain wealth and status from Lao Zhu's family that was not available in the Qing Dynasty, it is impossible to be a traitor. When the nobles of Beijing emptied their property and became the proletariat, they must overthrow the nobles of Nanjing. The choices of each individual group are based on their own best interests, not emotions, and not out of anger. I think these are the things that attract me to Da Luo Luo Shu. In the book, everyone is clearly divided into classes, and each class group acts according to class interests. This has also become the source of the funny scenes in this book. Li Zicheng instantly changed from the proletariat to the landlord class when he issued an imperial edict, and his position immediately became reactionary. This led to the famous scene of Li Zicheng fighting against Chuang Wang.
