Dreams of a Fleeting Life
These are mostly books whose stories I personally think are great, whether I’m currently following them or have already read them. No harems or wish-fulfillment, and nothing brainless or dumbed down.

All I want is a good plot! I can’t get through the novels on the rankings anymore. They’re all the same: fight monsters, level up, kill for treasure, go to auctions and competitions.

Unusual New Books, Hidden Gems Deserve Good Readers Too
Some books have wonderfully original ideas and excellent quality but never become popular, or they’ve gone on hiatus and then resumed. I can’t bear to let good wine languish in a hidden alley, so I’m doing my small part to help them find readers. This list only recommends unfinished novels. There’s no need for me to recommend books already in the top 100.
Ripples of History
History is yesterday's reality. A few more steps, or a few fewer, can lead to a different outcome. Take the Battle of Fei River, the brainless Song Xianggong, or the three retreats of Jin before Qin. Even a small change in history might cause a huge change in reality. Imagination has no limits: wild ideas are what matter most.

Xiao Taihei died of illness, Hong Jinglai was assassinated, and Tadayemon might be about to be punished by the Overthrow Sect.
The royal family should wear official clothes when getting married. I used Mao Lilan's face to dress the wedding clothes.
To be honest, I feel a little conflicted about this book. The better it is for the protagonist to lay an industrial, military, and cultural foundation for Japan now. It is to lay a better foundation for Japan, Russia or Japan to invade China in the future. I neither want to watch the protagonist make Japan stronger now. But I also want to see what abilities the protagonist can use. Alas╯╰ people are really troublesome
I started following the author from Station B. I watched the author finish writing about Japan and North Korea, and now he is going back to writing about Japan. When will he write about Vietnam among the four countries in East Asia? What a good start as a Mingxiang native
By the way, you, Edogawa, have succeeded to the throne, are you going to hold a big Olympics beauty pageant? You are fertile, and you are a general. The more sons and daughters you have, the better. In addition, the infantry is no longer active, and your leisure time has become longer. Naturally, there will be a wave of beauty pageants to reproduce.
Without the God of Harmony The nineteenth century was a century of change and expansion. Britain, France, Russia, the United States, Japan, and even Germany, while promoting industrialization, vigorously expanded their sphere of influence and colonies in order to obtain the markets, raw materials, and capital needed for industrialization. Although expansion and aggression are evil, it is undeniable that it is a necessity for primary industrialization. As a small country, Japan has no way out if it does not expand based on real history and the premise that its rulers cannot turn stone into gold. Especially Britain, Russia and Japan have retained a large number of old feudal aristocrats, and the benefits of industrialization have to be cut out of thin air to appease the old forces. So practicing internal strength alone is not enough, and all three countries have shown strong aggression. Under the premise that time travelers are in power and the God of Harmony does not exist, it may not be appropriate to follow the route of the invaders of the old time and space. But when you are an ostrich and only practice internal skills, you are just delaying revolution and turmoil as much as possible. You can consider taking the Pan-Asian route. In the Treaty of Beijing in 1860, Russia forced the Qing Dynasty to recognize the territory ceded by the Treaty of Aihun. Russia officially joins the Northeast Asian poker table. You can use the Russian threat theory as an excuse to use moderate diplomacy to promote the founding of North Korea and expand trade with the Qing Dynasty.
The author is great, Japan, Ming Dynasty, the United States, and North Korea are all there. Next time, I will be the third brother. I will drink this bowl of Ganges water and become an Indian in the next life.
Don't compare food prices back then with today. Moreover, a kilogram of rice in Japan now basically costs 200 yen, which is even more expensive. A Japanese scholar specifically calculated it based on the yield per mu, the number of fields, the cost of transportation and preservation, and the demand for food (in ancient times, the Japanese did not eat cattle, sheep, pigs, or as much fish as they do now). In the early Meiji period, food prices were seven times what they are now in Japan. One pound of rice is about one hundred yuan. One stone and three hundred catties is thirty thousand. According to the calculation of two yuan per kilogram of rice, it is nonsense. Don't think that a feudal lord is nothing. A Wanshi feudal lord is just like the nobles of thousands of households in ancient China. One hundred thousand dan is enough to complete the household transfer. How many nobles in ancient China had 10,000 households? It seems that during the reign of King Li Shimin and King Qin, they only had 20,000 households. Moreover, the feudal lord and his tenant farmers basically turned in 60% of their grain. And all the rights of the fief. After the family was destroyed, several noble families had this income.

Wow! It's a new book, so give yourself a shot in advance. I hope the protagonist dies in the last chapter and doesn't die early. In addition, blindly guess that the timeline of the next book is 1900. The protagonist's main task is to establish the Japanese Communist Party, lead the Japanese people's revolution, build the socialist People's Democratic Republic of Japan. The side plot is to travel around the world, France, Germany, the United States, the Soviet Union, and China. In a nutshell- Internet Nachonnar will definitely come true! The timeline of the author's next book may be 1985, Japan during the bubble economy. As for what the author wants the protagonist to do... I don't know. emmmm... Maybe after writing several serious books, the author will consider writing entertainment stories and let us fall in love with the paper man's wife?
Pulling off the Tahara Domain,,, I had never heard of this domain before, but Watanabe Kazan was quite famous, so I went to check it out. The information comes from feeding chickens. Tahara Clan is located in Atsumi County, Mikawa Province. The first leader was the Toda family who received 10,000 koku. On May 9, 1664 (Kanbun 4th year), the Toda family was granted a title and moved to Tomioka Domain in Higo Amakusa County. Instead, the Miyake family from the Mikawa Jumu Domain (until the end of the Tokugawa period) received 12,000 koku. Although the Miyake family is a small name, it is a famous family. Due to the large number of feudal lords (ah this) and the fact that Tahara was located in a barren land with many natural disasters, it often faced financial difficulties. Therefore, the 11th generation feudal lord Miyake Yasunao appointed Watanabe Ezan (Noboru) to be in charge in 1832 (Tembo 3rd year), reformed the feudal salary system, rectified the yikura system (grain reserve system), etc., And saved the domain from the Tenho famine. After the death of Kazan in 1841 (the 12th year of Tenpo), the peasant politician Ozo Nagasune and others carried out feudal and financial reforms; at the same time, Murakami Norichiro carried out military reform and promoted the casting of cannons and the introduction of Western gunnery. Why did the Tahara clan have so many orchidists at that time? In 1810 (the 7th year of culture), Xuansheng, the feudal doctor, opened Seongjangkan as a feudal school. The name of the school comes from the word "feiranchengzhang" in Gongye's long chapter in The Analects of Confucius. Seishōkan has successively produced talented people such as Yunobu Miyake and foreign scholars such as Watanabe Kazan, Suzuki Haruyama, and Murakami Norichi. In the early days of its establishment, the main educational content was the reading of Chinese books and martial arts. Starting from the first month of 1834 (Tianbao 2nd year), Suzuki Haruyama and others were invited to teach Western music, and Murakami Nori taught Western military art. Abandoned feudal vassals and set up abandoned schools in counties. The 12th generation of the feudal lord was deposed in July 1871 (Meiji 4) and is now located in Aichi Prefecture. The residence of the Miyake family of the Edo clan is located where the current Supreme Court of Japan is located, hence the nickname Miyakezaka. According to statistics during the period when the feudal clan was abolished and the county was established, the Tahara clan had 4,621 households with a total of nearly 30,000 people, 12 people in the feudal lord's family, 595 nobles, 298 clan members, 246 monks, nuns, and clergy.
