A Slightly Nostalgic Book List
I started reading web novels in 2017, and by now I feel like I've read so, so many. Most books are forgotten as soon as I finish them, but the ones on this list are books I've read and still remember. This list is a tribute to my web-novel reading days. This will probably be a pretty self-indulgent list. I'm not recommending books, just making a keepsake for myself.

Reading in Peace
I was delighted when I happened to find out I could create a book list. Every book suits a certain kind of reader. I don’t need mindless stories or harems. Finding a book that feels like mine in this sea of stories lets me escape into another world anytime, anywhere, like enjoying a warm cup of afternoon tea. Rated out of three stars: three stars means a classic, one star means decent, and two stars falls in between. I’ll slowly add new books. Why slowly? I’m picky about what I like, or, as you’

Seeing "proton"
As the title suggests, the forced addition of scenes is incredibly awkward. Is the author's writing so incompetent that this is the only way to advance the story and allow the illegitimate son to seize power in the Tang Dynasty? Is the Treaty of Wei River going to involve hostages? Don't tarnish my image of the Tang Dynasty. The historical Tang Dynasty never knelt like this!! Angrily abandoned 😡
Li Ke's mother was apparently a princess from the Sui Dynasty; he probably wouldn't have gotten his turn unless all the princes had died.
Those who say Li Ke couldn't be crown prince because of his lineage from the previous dynasty are being naive. He couldn't be crown prince for two reasons: first, he wasn't the legitimate son, and second, the power of the Changsun faction was too strong.
Discussion about whether Li Ke could become emperor
Seeing more and more people stirring up this debate in the comments section, I feel it's necessary to address this. Many people believe Li Ke couldn't possibly become emperor, for one simple reason: he was the grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui, and if he were emperor, he would have killed the ministers who rebelled against the Sui Dynasty. I find this argument unbelievable and laughable.
The protagonist dotes on Wu Zetian too much, even refusing to take other women in order to protect her feelings. Is this the behavior of a crown prince? Is a crown prince's love life a private matter? It seems the protagonist is somewhat afraid of Wu Zetian. I don't know the author's intention in doing this. Is it just to curry favor with Wu Zetian?
It is estimated that more than two-thirds of the readers will fall for the proton.
Honestly, the proton strategy is the most brilliant of all the options. First, it greatly deepened the father-son bond. Li Ke's status was sensitive, and being born out of wedlock, he was theoretically far inferior to the three sons born to Empress Zhangsun, especially given the deep affection between Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.
This book, "The Emperor's Chat Group," is truly disgusting. It relentlessly vilifies Emperor Taizong (Li Er), portraying all his policies as wrong. Even the Japanese invasion of China is attributed to him. His sycophancy towards Empress Wu Zetian and his invention of historical misrepresentation, including the Wu Zhou Tian Shu (a fictional historical account), are laughable. I posted records from the Old Book of Tang on it, and he deleted the post that night.
The sheer number of flaws in this novel is unprecedented. It's as if one flaw is barely finished before an even more egregious one appears, blatantly assaulting the taste of a decade-old bookworm. If this book is ever completed, it will undoubtedly become another extraordinary work on Qidian.com.
I'd been following the story closely, but now I can't stand it anymore. Not from an omniscient perspective, but how can a prince vying for the throne have no defenses against women? His background check is inaccurate; to use a tired old phrase from online novels, "an overly clean background is a problem in itself." And he thinks he can seize the throne like that?
