Dreaming Back to the Ends of the Earth: A Historical Fiction Recommendation Hub
🌟 This list is really more of a bookmark folder. Every book here is one I plan to read, am currently reading, or have already finished. I wouldn't include any books I don't want to read myself. There are also some books I haven't recommended individually, only mentioned in the descriptions of other books. That doesn't mean they're bad. I just don't think they need a separate recommendation. They're either too well known, similar in style to the books I recommend, or written by the same author. S
Novels I Could Never Forget After Reading (Most Are Complete)
I've read books in all sorts of genres and styles. I've been reading online novels since 2004, and after seeing so many people recommend books, I thought I'd share the stories I've read and can't forget. Sometimes, I still pick them up and read them all over again! I removed some books that got hit with a 404, and the list instantly shrank by half! I'll add a few books I'm following when I get the chance.

I'm begging for updates while wearing women's clothing.
I've been watching it, and it's pretty good. The downside is that the descriptions of the army and war are... Well... Not very exciting. The military buildup and weaponry were completely omitted, and the war descriptions remained stuck in the game cliché of "cavalry defeats infantry, morale is always locked, and deaths are just deaths" 😡...
The Li Tang imperial family already had a bad reputation—Li Shimin, Li Zhi, Li Longji. And now the protagonist wants to marry Yang Yuhuan? Are you kidding me?
If an ordinary time traveler goes back to ancient times, how can you possibly be more powerful than famous generals like Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi in battle if you don't develop a technology tree or use a strategy of mass-producing troops? An ordinary modern person who travels back to any period of ancient times cannot change anything without having a cheat code.
His actions after ascending the throne are truly incomprehensible... One bizarre move after another. He immediately deposed the eunuchs, the greatest ally of imperial power. This is even more drastic than Emperor Chongzhen's actions. Wasn't the interference of eunuchs in politics a consequence of the emperor's excessive influence? Without the eunuchs, if the emperor wasn't capable enough, how could he possibly outmaneuver the civil officials?
This author is truly talented; they perfectly avoided all the satisfying moments. The story starts with a miraculous comeback, which should be the first satisfying moment, but then a supporting character dies by running into a pillar, and the concubine who cheated on the emperor is let off the hook →_→, while the protagonist offends the old emperor.
So far, the writing has been quite good. I'm just afraid that the author will give the protagonist a moral fastidious streak and insist that Li Heng and Li Yu be completely convinced. This Tang emperor is not like me, the cowardly Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong. They were always making excuses when they became emperors.
I've read so many Tang Dynasty novels, mostly set during the reigns of Emperor Taizong, Emperor Xuanzong, or the late Tang period, and I'm tired of them all. Finally, there's a Tang Dynasty novel set during the An Lushan Rebellion! I wish the protagonist success in quelling the rebellion and building China to its fullest potential.
After quelling the An Lushan Rebellion, wouldn't it have been better to return to the capital and stage a coup? Like Li Shimin.
The military governorship system was the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's prosperity. In fact, a military governor of a prefecture had no chance of causing trouble. A prefecture in the Tang Dynasty was essentially a commandery. In the Han Dynasty, the prefect of a commandery also had both military and political power.
