A Dream of Red Mansions
It's tough, tough, tough. Hong Lou stories have their own tag now, but completed ones are rare, and truly excellent ones are rarer still. Here's a collection of the Hong Lou stories I've read and been able to get into.
Taking It Easy with Some Light Reading
History looks right to everyone, and wrong to everyone. Knowing your history can make you sound impressive. Fantasy novels are just madmen telling stories to fools, and everyone is happy. Who there would care about the disappointments that make up most of life?

Authors, feel free to recommend your own work. If it’s about to go premium, let me know. Regardless of its performance, I’ll help promote it for a week! If it suits my taste, I’ll add it. Thanks! Plenty of opportunities for books on a small list! This list has plenty of prehistoric mythology, Dream of the Red Chamber, xianxia, apocalypse, and System stories, so it’s a bit of a mixed bag.

One chapter a day, bro, you're too slow!
This is too cruel! The protagonist is a pervert, a masochist. After becoming emperor, he only needs to outwardly show filial piety to three people: his biological parents and his grandmother. Everyone else is just a subject. According to feudal etiquette, if the protagonist becomes emperor, Jia Zheng will be made the retired emperor, and Lady Wang has no reason to be made empress dowager as his…
I've never seen such a disgusting novel. The protagonist is already the emperor, yet he still has to be subservient to Grandmother Jia and Lady Wang. He even lets the retired emperor sit on the throne while he sits beside him, and he tolerates Jia Baoyu's idiocy. When the protagonist holds absolute power, Grandmother Jia can discipline him as easily as she wants, treating him like a dog. I've never seen such a shameless person.
First, the author relentlessly belittles Jia Baoyu, portraying him as lecherous, unambitious, looking down on the protagonist, and even coveting the protagonist's wife. Then, the protagonist tries to match him with Daiyu, ostensibly to give Daiyu a good ending. Author, are you deliberately trying to disgust people?
Author, I'm truly exhausted reading your work. You want to pad the word count but can't find anything to write about. I really want you to hand me the pen and I'll write it myself. If you want to pad the word count, can't you just copy some tropes?
The author of this book has pioneered a new genre: the "Invincible and Frustrated" style! Even if the protagonist is invincible, he can still make the reader feel extremely frustrated. It's truly a great writing style.
I've been following this book on and off for a while now, so here are my thoughts: First, the author's writing style and plot are very strong; this is the work of a master, and it's definitely a must-read. Secondly, the first 150 to 200 chapters are also excellent; the protagonist is a formidable fighter, and his intelligence, martial prowess, adaptability to the times, and forbearance are all…
Having read books for fifteen years, this is the most disgusting, vicious, and abusive novel I've ever seen. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable. The protagonist should be renamed "The Good Servant of the Dream of the Red Chamber." Even the real feudal ethics of ancient times weren't as vicious as the author portrayed.
Having read countless Dream of the Red Chamber fanfics, aside from Sun Wukong, most characters follow the imperial examination path. Sun Wukong isn't exactly a traditional military man, so I've always hoped for a military general route. Aside from the first two chapters being a bit weak, the rest have gotten better and better. Keep it up, don't abandon it!
Today I received two recommendation votes from readers for the first time. This is both an encouragement and a spur to me. Thank you!
