I Can't Believe Someone Actually Followed My List
I can’t believe someone actually followed my book list! I’m updating it to share some of the excellent novels I’m following now and have read in the past. Mostly historical, xianxia, and fantasy, with a few gems from other genres mixed in.
A Shut-In's Mental Rations
I made this list to share books I think are good and worth reading. I also hope that lots of people will agree with my picks. There's something... umm, satisfying about that, I guess. Even though I didn't write them, it still makes me secretly happy to know more people have discovered these books through my recommendations. Hehe. Also, when it comes to recommendations, I prefer good writing and fewer clichés. Comedy is fine, but don't force it. I hate anything over-the-top, and I can't stand stu

To be honest, the Song Dynasty was not a unified dynasty. In terms of legitimacy, the Yuan and Qing Dynasties were probably more legitimate than the Song Dynasty, and it also had no military achievements. The Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jurchens and the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Mongols.
The Song Dynasty was never great, so how could it be considered great again?
Brothers, you can read without thinking, but you must remember that Qin Hui was a traitor to the nation. This book can satirize him, but you must not change your view of Qin Hui in history just because the protagonist has altered his image.
The novel is titled "Substitute for Song," but the protagonist is actually a prince of the Song Dynasty?! This kind of deceptive marketing will do nothing to improve the novel's success, especially considering it's set in a dynasty like the Song Dynasty.
I have a natural aversion to the Song Dynasty, which is rather awkward. Of all the emperors in Chinese history, I prefer Emperor Yongzheng... Which is also awkward.
The Song dynasty failed Yue Fei, failed Zong Ze, and failed countless patriotic heroes. The Zhao family is shameful.
The claim of 400 uprisings during the Song Dynasty originates from the peasant wars of the Song Dynasty. This book is hard to find now, but anyone who has read it wouldn't mention the sheer number of uprisings in the Song Dynasty. The reason for this is simple: the definition of an uprising was extremely broad.
It's quite interesting, but there aren't enough updates; it's not satisfying. I'll donate to it first. I'll save up more to read together.
Ultimately, I don't like watching stories about saving the Song Dynasty! The Zhao family was so rotten, they should just all die! The mere fact that they were labeled "traitors and convicts" for so many years couldn't save the Song; the soldiers didn't even want to fight, what good were their leaders! I only like watching stories about overthrowing the Song and destroying the Zhao! Rather than sending a foreign tribe to slaughter and plunder, I'd rather do the killing myself!
Here's a small suggestion for the author
One major problem with the Song Dynasty was the chaotic official system; a single person could hold several titles. I've seen many novels about time travel to the Song Dynasty struggle with this. Therefore, I suggest authors simply ignore this issue and treat this Song Dynasty as a different time period from the real-world Song Dynasty. As long as the official titles are understandable to the readers, that's fine. 😂
