Ling Xi Wants to Return, Sealing Away Memories of the Past
Young and naive, I knew nothing of the world, yet I set out to write an epic in the fantasy genre. A drink in a little tower, with no concern for right or wrong, merit or blame. A long, soaring song, my head thrown back as I lament beneath the sky. Years later, looking back on the past, I wonder: what would the mature me think of my younger, immature self? A madcap youth, and madcap memories!

Great Books
My tastes are pretty eclectic. I'll read just about anything
My Personal Taste: No Vulgar or Tasteless Reads
No brainless harem fantasies. No mindless wish-fulfillment. No infantile protagonists who make everyone around them seem stupid. I like books with originality and something to say. The characters feel like real people, each with their own depth. My tastes are niche, and I refuse to compromise. I hand out leaderboards to authors when I feel like it. That’s just how I roll. I only recommend books I’ve read. I won’t recommend anything I haven’t. Having the protagonist become emperor for no reason
For the Good Books That Never Give Up
This list features not only great books, but also underrated works whose authors keep going despite having little support. Too many books are genuinely good but don’t follow the mainstream formula, so they never gain much of a following. Of course, they still need to be well-written, and the authors can’t just drop them or leave them unfinished. For new authors, updating consistently is the bare minimum. If you leave recommendations, I’ll do my best to check them out. Please save and follow the
Books to Recommend to Others Later
To me, a good book is one that I've been following for ages and that hasn't been abandoned, and that I can still pick up and read again. There are basically no books by big-name authors here. And unless I really like a popular book, I usually won't add it. I'm an omnivorous reader! I read pretty much everything. As long as it makes sense, holds together, and doesn't give me too much to gripe about, it's fair game. These are books I've read and been willing to pay for. I'm pretty picky about subs
A History Buff's Book Nook: The Song Dynasty
The history of the Song Dynasty is fascinating. It was one of the few legitimate dynasties to last for several hundred years, yet it never achieved true unification before its fall. Its civil officials and generals were all remarkably capable, but it still couldn't shake its reputation as a weak dynasty, losing every battle. Three northern dynasties came and went, while its own territory kept shrinking. It seemed capable of little beyond holding on to what it had. First, its culture: In calligra

From Taoist Priest to Yama, King of Hell! Saving the world by taking lives!
My surname is Wang, and my profession is a Taoist priest, but I wasn't always a Taoist priest. When I was five years old, we encountered famine and war. My parents took me and wandered to Maoshan, where they died of illness, leaving me all alone in the family. Later, I became a beggar, leading the refugee orphans to fight with the local beggar gang every day, begging for food and survival.
I've seen some people say that ships back then couldn't reach America, and I can't help but refute that: Judging from the "Chinese Ancient Ship Catalogue," shipbuilding technology in the Song Dynasty was quite advanced. According to Wu Zimou's "Menglianglu," large Song Dynasty ships had a carrying capacity of up to 300 tons and a displacement of 600 tons, capable of carrying five to six hundred…
There is indeed something remarkable about this book What moved me the most was the love between Wu Song and Diao Chan. In order to save Wang Mang, Zhang Fei turned against his sworn brother, the Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun. Especially when I read that Guo Jing gave up his position as the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect and resolutely wandered around the world with the gentleman Jian Yue Buqun, it made me cry. Linghu Chong joined the anti-Japanese war to avenge his father.
After reading the recent chapters, I have a small suggestion for the author.
I felt somewhat unsatisfied reading the chapters after the protagonist returned to America. What drew me to this book? I think it's the author's passionate and inspiring writing style. The opening Battle of Yamen, where the desperate imperial court, inspired by the protagonist's righteous speech and selfless dedication, made immense sacrifices to escape, was particularly moving.
If it were me, it would take at least fifty years to build up a population in the Americas. On average, each Han Chinese would marry ten wives and have twenty or thirty children. If all goes well, there could be more than five million Han Chinese. Add to that the Native Americans we have educated and enslaved, and we could build a great empire with a population of at least ten million. By then, the Mongols would have been in decline, and we could march north and reclaim our land.
My second account got banned too. Is it because of this? 🥵🥵🥵 And it's a permanent ban!
The ending with the peace talks with the Mongols was indeed disappointing, especially after rereading the first chapter from the beginning; I disliked the peace talks even more.
What Song courage, call it Yuan You're more like a coward. Why don't you just transmigrate into Kublai Khan?
I didn't finish this book; I abandoned it halfway through. I suddenly saw it was finished today and wanted to share my thoughts. The book started off very interesting and engaging, but later, when it got to the capital, rescuing people, the plot and logic became problematic. The protagonist planned everything, and everyone knew about his schemes, but no one exposed them—it was all a game.
