Novels That Are Still Readable
I've been reading novels for over twenty years, and there aren't many I can still enjoy these days. Five stars means a must-read! Four stars means worth reading! Three stars means take it or leave it! Two stars means it's basically unreadable! As for one star? No such thing!

[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,

Great Reads a Veteran Reader of N Years Has Enjoyed
I've been reading since 2008 and discovered plenty of great books along the way. I've gathered them here for fellow veteran readers who are out of things to read. The list focuses on historical, fantasy, and (hard) science fiction. I mainly look for originality and good writing. Famous books are unlikely to make the cut, and I don't read painfully naive stories.

History Is Memory Carved Into Words (Not for Beginners)
I'm in a reading drought, so I'm making a list to tide me over. 1. No works by big-name authors. 2. Mostly foreign ancient history, including the Age of Discovery but not Japan's Sengoku period. 3. In principle, no Three Kingdoms or late Ming history, except for top-tier immortal grass. 4. I prefer meticulous research and plausible settings. 5. I dislike stories with a weak sense of history, such as a Three Kingdoms story that feels like a Qing court drama.

This book can be called Rurik's Learning Path. The average age in medieval Europe was 40? The protagonist is wasting his time learning useless things, such as longitude and latitude. Do you plan to go on a big voyage during this period? The tribe is still in a primitive state. It does not improve productivity and expand the total population of the tribe, but only makes all these bells and whistles.
Every time you see this kind of agricultural revolution and industrial technology that goes back to the Middle Ages, you have never thought about what would happen if this technology was leaked out and the Franks and Byzantines knew about it, given their size.
Note that Europeans did not resist bathing after the Black Death. Before the Black Death, Europeans did not refuse to bathe.
It started out okay, but I felt like it was getting more and more biased the more I wrote. Farming is also conditional, and food and clothing are still a question mark. How to make soap???? In the tribal era, I don't understand how the protagonist does business if he doesn't work hard to train, fight, and invade. The population of a tribe is limited. Without annexation, it would take more than ten years to increase the population by 10%. What's the difference between not annexing and a bunch of small countries in historical Europe? There are certain latitude and calendar things, which can be briefly mentioned in the early stage, and can be detailed after the founding of the country.
Thoughts after reading I feel that the current Rus in the book is a Baltic "Mongol Empire" or the "Khan" of the protagonist's "tribal empire" will definitely fall apart after the death of the "Khan". Norway will still be Norway, Sweden will still be Sweden, and Finland will still be Finland. Except for the later monarchs and nobles, they will all have the blood of the protagonist's "Golden Family". When the smoke cleared, only the "Great Yuan" - Eastern European Rus' was left. What later generations left to the European world was nothing more than another "Mediterranean Roman Empire" - the glorious past of the Circum-Baltic Rus' Empire. Although the protagonist in the book dies, Rose in the book ends, and although the European world in the book does not have the tradition of "one world", it still makes people a little regretful. Books with the same text, cars with the same track, degrees with the same system, actions with the same principles, places in the same region, the world is connected, the glorious achievements of centralization are even more desirable. After all, the Roman Empire-style and Mongol Empire-style attacks had too many regrets.
It was written in such detail that it was so long that I almost changed the title of the book to Rurik: The Rise of the Past. After writing more than 400 chapters, I finally got to the point.
Why don't you let anyone tell you if there are typos? I didn't say that your writing is not good and you deleted my post 😤😤😤
Does the author regard the Vikings as a high-quality group that knows honor and disgrace and understands kindness and righteousness? . . Rurik thought about giving favors all day long, but he didn't react even when he was being humiliated every day on the battlefield, and he didn't react when others chopped off the heads of dead enemy generals in front of him. Do the Balmoks really respect the protagonist? Do the Balmoks really not know that the protagonist is kind? I remember that only 2,000 Balmoks came, and nearly 300 were already dead, and the war of conquest was not over yet. If the protagonist leaves, will there be enough troops to suppress the newly attacked two countries? If this is a hurdle arranged by the author, I hope Rurik can change his mind as soon as possible. Recently, this plot has been defined by me as a deflated plot. It is very different from the wise and wise image of Rurik before, and it is too long. Finally, I want to ask, did Rurik establish military laws and regulations in the army? If not, it is recommended to make up for it.
The protagonist is too strange. He clearly knows that population is power, but he always condones a group of relatives who oppose his policies and massacres some low-level workers who have no ability to resist. It's simply inexplicable. The progress is already very slow, and it's quite unreasonable to have these things that are holding us back. I feel that the protagonist is not afraid of changing the times, but has been brainwashed by a group of lousy natives and has no independent opinion.
Oh, Rurik, why don't you join a warrior guild and lose together?
