Historical Fiction Reading List, Primarily History
Mostly historical fiction. The scale goes up to ten stars, but even a one-star book is worth a look.
A Bookworm’s Smorgasbord
A laid-back list maker who updates whenever the mood strikes. I'll gradually add new books and revise my comments on existing ones. Feel free to drop by often. I'm an older reader with eclectic tastes. I read male- and female-oriented fiction, cultivation, fantasy, historical romance, magic, family intrigue, sci-fi, farming stories, anime-inspired fiction... pretty much anything. Rather than following new books as they come out, I prefer the satisfaction of reading a whole story in one go. So
Books for Leisurely Reading
Every book has its own story for me, so I created this reading list to share with everyone.
A Little Book Bag With Absolutely No Standards
I actually use this list as a bookshelf. I add books I've finished or that haven't finished updating yet, then wait until they've built up enough chapters to binge. So I have no particular standards for what I collect here. I don't care about recommendations, favorites, or monthly ticket rankings. I just go by the book's appeal, its updates, and whether it has been abandoned. Anyway, everything on this list is something I've read, so if you find something you like, give it a try. The rest doesn'
Lovely Reads I'm Trying or Have Tried
How can I forget my worries? Only by reading! I add books to this list slowly because I only want to include ones I've read and enjoyed. Even though nobody follows this list, I like to think that maybe someone with tastes like mine will find it and get a nice surprise 😊

A Veteran Bookworm’s Notebook
A longtime reader of fifteen years. I've read all kinds of books, and even mindless wish-fulfillment stories can be fun when you're bored. This list collects books I think are good, or at least readable. I may lean toward stories that are a comfortable read. I won't include books with nothing but a supposedly creative idea or a well-designed setting.

It's a pretty good book, much better than "Xiao Ge Lao". In my personal opinion, apart from "Shao Song", this is the only historical book currently available. There are many books that describe the middle and late stages, but very few have a comprehensive interpretation of the characters like the author does, and they don't understand why the results are not ideal.
The most underrated author. From the last book to this one, the author's writing style has been maintained at a very high level. That football novel can be called the best novel in the past few years, but whether it will become popular or not depends on luck. The time has not come yet.
Saw the Shaolin Temple. Just know that the author never reads official history. History is learned from movies and novels. Such people come to write novels. Tampering with history will deceive more people
When I read Chapter 98, the book was written well before encountering the Japanese pirates, but the writing after encountering the Japanese pirates was boring. You are a 17-year-old who has gone from scheming the governor of a province to mingling with Japanese pirates. You are a time-traveler who has risked his life to fight against others. Does writing like this make the protagonist very powerful? Also, the author's portrayal of some characters is outrageous. Either their personalities conflict before or after, or the characters' actions and language are so modernized as to be childish.
When I saw the post, I found out that I had been banned. I couldn't tell you that the character of the protagonist was broken in the early stage. To be honest, I can't. It's awesome. The previous chapter was still full of passion, but in the next chapter, I suddenly started to miss women. There were a few times where the character suddenly jumped around. The character of the protagonist in the early stage was not clear enough, and the twists were abrupt. It felt like I had read a few chapters less, and the author's writing skills were not good enough. To be honest, I was banned, the management is really awesome.
At least it is comparable to Master Sanjie's first-class article, I like it very much. Come support the author from piracy, and never leave!
If you don't agree with the ancients' three views, how can you have feelings?
China's traditional literati are an ugly group, with fixed thinking, arrogance, hypocrisy, cannot be reformed, cannot be educated, and can only be completely destroyed physically. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, did literati have integrity? In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, did any literati change careers and learn mathematics, physics and chemistry? Do literati have a responsibility? This group is hopeless. From the education of Confucius and Mencius, there is no such thing as responsibility. As long as you think your heart is good, you can do whatever you want without feeling guilty. Gui Youguang's performance in Jiading City showed that the people around him did not criticize Gui Youguang and agreed with Gui Youguang's behavior.
This book is not popular, I really scratch my head and can't figure it out. I have been a reader for more than 20 years, so I think I am relatively old. I've always liked reading history, so I should have some say in it. After reading books for so many years, I often read the next chapter of many authors' books now. I basically read every chapter of this book carefully, and I don't feel bored. After writing to this point, the author is fully worthy of the title of a historical master. It's a pity😔
The literati colluded with thieves and bandits, and kneeled down and licked the barbarians, just like dogs eating shit, it was just their nature.
Since ancient times, Confucian scholars have liked to collude with bandits and lick barbarians. In the late Ming Dynasty, this becomes clear when comparing the taxation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the early Qing Dynasty.
Chapter 1026: It is impossible to expect the two tiger cannons to blast the cavalry with shotguns and disperse the two hundred cavalry. Otherwise, the high gold would not be like entering uninhabited territory, and the Mongols would not have such things as car camps during the war on the northern border. Armored cavalry and armored soldiers, especially those wearing three pieces of armor, are only effective if they are within thirty paces, and can be fatal within ten paces. Only one round of shooting. Cavalry began to disappear after World War I, and was completely lost on the Asian battlefield after World War II.
