Lao Bai's Books: No Harem, No Womanizing
I used to be a newbie, but now I'm a veteran reader. I recommend all genres, subjects, and categories for men and women. My main criteria are decent writing, a new industry or field, fresh ideas and settings, and something to think about. Each book should offer something different (judged by the standards at the time it was published). I'm not too strict about details, and I'm no fact-checking fanatic. What I hate most is when authors get basic facts wrong, and that can make me drop a book.

My heartfelt recommendations from the past 20 years. I don't read power fantasies, and I reject formulaic level-ups and simplistic newbie novels. I dislike overpowered protagonists and brainless stories most of all. Starting from Zero scarred me, along with Angel and the abandoned Absolute Game. Now I have no interest in online gaming novels! I drop a book without hesitation if the protagonist challenges someone three levels above them. Traps, suppression in special locations, and magic arrays a

The first two chapters alone make it seem like a pure wish-fulfillment fantasy novel. The protagonist, a high-ranking heir to the Tsar and a Grand Duke, has all his property forcibly taken over by the Tsar, leaving him malnourished and unable to even afford basic necessities. He's then forced to guard the gates of the Eastern Palace. Author, do you think all nobles are idiots?
Honestly, if you'd become emperor in 500+ chapters, then tsar in 1000, and then fight for supremacy in the remaining 500, your performance wouldn't be this dismal. The plot can be drawn out, but this much drags on and it becomes pointless. If you were updating ten or more chapters a day, that would be fine, but if you only update one or two, by the time you finish, you'll have forgotten most of…
Leaving aside other matters, the fact that the Tsar dared to insult a Grand Duke of the same surname in this way signified his betrayal of his own class. The noble class would kill him; this was a denial of their own rule. If they disliked their nephew, they might at most banish him to a remote place or even force him to commit suicide. A noble could be killed but not humiliated; this was an insult to their own ruling position—it was truly insidious.
Rubbish novel, I took a look at it from the back. I haven't become a czar after more than two thousand chapters. I came to see the struggle for hegemony, not to see your one-third acre of land. One or two thousand chapters of fantasy novels have been completed. What the hell are you? There are many other foreign historical novels, such as Aztec Eternal, Mediterranean Overlord, Romanian Eagle, Flower and Sword France, which one is not better than you.
The author completely misunderstands the European aristocratic system. The Tsar's treatment of the protagonist and attempt to seize his fiefdom is utterly ridiculous. Even if a noble betrays the king, the king can only execute the noble and allow their relatives to inherit the fiefdom. There's no question of seizing a fiefdom, especially not a grand duke's.
I couldn't continue after reading nine chapters. It felt like the author was using an Eastern mindset to write a Western story. At first, I thought the Tsar genuinely wanted to train the protagonist, but the protagonist was unaware of it. However, after seeing him join the Knights of Faith, Tsar Nicholas suddenly seemed like a purely villainous character who just couldn't stand the protagonist.
The protagonist gives off an impression of being full of resentment, petty-minded, short-sighted, indecisive, lacking in patience and planning, and acting like a street thug. This is probably why the protagonist is unlikable!
Um, since the protagonist has transmigrated to Russia and has a new identity, could you please not use a Chinese name in the story? It feels a bit jarring to see a Chinese name pop up among a bunch of Russians. 😒
4 Million words, and the protagonist hasn't even become emperor yet—I can't keep reading! When reading modern foreign history, the main thing is to see reforms, industrialization, and hegemony, but this is full of infighting and power struggles, and the protagonist has so little screen time. I can't even keep reading if I skip around!
It's rubbish, completely illogical. A Grand Duke, the Tsar's nephew, suffering such a miserable fate? The author must think the Tsar is an idiot!
