Tao Ge's Reading List
Books I think are worth reading.
A 20-Year Veteran Reader’s Take on Historical Fiction
I only review books I've read, judging them on four aspects: writing, imagination, logic, and how satisfying they are. Ratings are “Historic,” “Readable,” “Pure Fun,” and “God-Tier.” A book that excels in all four is God-Tier, and so on.

A List of Masterpieces: Only Classics I've Read or Promising Newcomers, Here to Cure Your Reading Slump
I only recommend books I’ve read: the all-time classics or exciting new releases, across every genre. I’ll keep updating, and you can let me know about any good books I should add. (Readers can use the upvote-to-downvote ratio to judge a book.)
Smile's Book Recommendations
Books I’ve read on Qidian that I think are worth recommending. Since the list spans more than ten years, my ratings for older books should be taken as a rough guide. Updated regularly...

I Was Once a Guest Beneath Luoyang's Blossoms
I put this list together in my spare time to recommend some good books I've read. Fellow readers, feel free to suggest more. As a rule, I don't recommend books under 500,000 words. I won't start a story that's too short, since waiting is the most painful part. I'm pretty selective. I'll definitely check out anything you recommend, but whether it makes the list depends on its quality. After all, I haven't even added my own books to the list _(눈_눈"∠)_ Lastly, I read both male- and female-oriented

You can’t go wrong with these recommendations.
Strolling Across the Page, Lost in Time
Nothing is perfect, and web fiction is no exception! A recommendation doesn't mean a book is flawless, and criticism doesn't mean I don't love it. This list thrives on both praise and criticism! My three tiers of web fiction: Lower tier: familiar formulas (lots of tropes, plenty to read) Middle tier: boundless imagination (bold ideas and unexpected twists) Upper tier: joy, sorrow, love, and hate (stories that move you endure) Everyone loves an Immortal Grass masterpiece, but such books are rare

A Personal Collection
For my personal collection
Books I Have Read
Just keeping a personal record. I often come across books I've read before and have trouble remembering which ones.
Reviews of Qidian Historical Novels
Reviews of the historical novels I've read. I praise and recommend the good ones, and criticize and mock the bad ones. I value logic and the patterns of history, so I'm not too keen on novice-friendly or wish-fulfillment novels.

[Ongoing Novel Quality Checker] (Personal Picks)
Inspired by Yang Xiaobo's idea, novels have different levels of talent, which determine how far they can go. Talent levels: Dull as a doornail → Nothing special → Somewhat gifted → Exceptionally talented → Brilliant beyond compare I don't turn away any genre except Western fantasy and light novels. My tastes are pretty eclectic. 20260322: I've been pretty busy lately, so I'll update this list after things settle down. I read a few hundred chapters of every book I recommend before adding it, a
Revisiting Old Favorites During a Reading Slump
Mostly light, feel-good farming novels and old favorites. Good to browse when you're out of things to read. The best prose and story structure come from Angry Banana, Mao Ni, Yan Yu Jiang Nan, Xiao Qi Xiao, and Feng Huo Xi Zhu Hou, the so-called Five Great Writers of Zhongyuan.
Books I’ve Personally Tested for Poison
A haphazard reading list. The books should make sense and have a proper plot. If I read for a while and find something illogical or padded, I'll remove it. These are all books I've read myself.
So Good You Can’t Stop Reading
Here are all the great novels I've read over the past few years that I can still remember. They're all so addictive that you'll want to stay up all night reading. I rate them with stars, and anything with four stars or more is worth reading.
Absolute Gems
Masterpieces of Ming Dynasty History
My personal gems among historical novels set in the Ming dynasty.
I Love History, Even Though Real History Is Heavy!
Mainly transmigration novels set in the late Ming and early Qing. I'll also recommend good novels set in the Tang and Song dynasties.
Books I Think Are Good
Some are abandoned, but I think some books are better abandoned than given a terrible ending.

"Can't take it anymore, retreat!" That's all just talk.
The more I read, the more unbearable it became. Leaving aside the protagonist's constant rambling in modern dialect from the very beginning, and his lack of humanity even after realizing he'd transmigrated (only becoming somewhat serious around chapter 20), the story begins with the protagonist forcing a woman named Zhou Yueru, whom the original owner of the body had harassed, to owe him a huge…
Overall, *Iron-Blooded Remnant Ming* is a failed online novel. I mentioned it briefly in a previous chapter, specifically the description of the eunuch torturing palace maids. I said it was written like a literary masterpiece, offering no meaning other than torturing the reader. Many people then said things like, "Oh, you're only suited for light novels," etc.
This book is suitable for readers who have never read about the history of the late Ming Dynasty. The writing style is impeccable, but it feels like a historical overview of the late Ming Dynasty with personal biases smuggled in; it forces a duality onto historical figures, omitting purely good and bad characters.
Make complaints
I don't understand. While the previous dual-time travel story set in the late Ming Dynasty could be excused by a lack of skill in time travel, even with characters like Liu Min who showed significant growth and development, Chen Xin's quick wit and broad vision at least made the story stand out.
Composition of County Government Personnel in the Ming Dynasty
At the beginning, Xiao Pang bullied others to make his first fortune, which can be described as "the government office faces south, but if you have no money, don't come in." The more exciting stories that follow are inseparable from Xiao Pang's gradual rise to power within the system.
Discussion on the issue of protagonist character design
First, the protagonist, Pang Yu, was originally a financial swindler before his soul transmigrated, so morality and responsibility are practically nonexistent in him. As for why we're using such a negative modern perspective in ancient times? This is actually related to the book's true purpose.
I haven't read the book, only the comments section. It's all about two things: comparisons and personal attacks. 1. Comparisons: No matter how good other books are, they're all garbage with no redeeming qualities, while this book, regardless of its content or logic, is considered excellent (this is the opinion of the book's readers, not mine). 2.
This is a classic example of filtering readers. It's good that Ke Shanmeng is a part-time author; she's not completely influenced by public opinion (readers). Frankly, it's clear that the average readership of online novels is relatively low; novels without the "golden three chapters" are generally criticized. With Ke Shanmeng's writing style, how can she be criticized?
I've read over twenty chapters so far, and the protagonist is very unlikable, at least I don't. The writing is good, but the plot has many minor flaws. That's not a big deal, after all, no book is flawless. And I've heard the book gets even better later on. However, the book's fans are very off-putting.
New readers, please be patient; the masses have discerning eyes!
This is the result of a poll I initiated on the Longkong Forum for my favorite historical fiction author. Ke Shanmeng is second only to Xiao Guaishou, far ahead of other works. I hope new readers will be patient. Rules 1. A total of 25 authors are included; you can only select 5.
