Only Recommending Books I Enjoy (I Read Popcorn Fiction)
(If you find a good book that isn't on my list, please recommend it in the comments. Being short on books is miserable.) I only recommend books I enjoy. I only recommend the ones I'm following, so please keep in mind that the list may be out of date. If I show up as a trainee reader and a book has been here for a long time, that means I stopped reading it. I never care much about prose or plot when I read novels. That's too much effort. If I enjoy it, I'll keep reading; if I don't, I won't, no m

The Bookish Manor
This list has room for only fifty books, so every new addition means another has to go. Abandoned or censored books get removed first. Feel free to recommend a book you think is great, though I may not add it. Most of the books here are ones I've read myself. After all, you can't speak about a book you haven't read. The overall quality is pretty good, selected with eight years of experience. Follow the list if you enjoy it.

Taking It Easy with Some Light Reading
History looks right to everyone, and wrong to everyone. Knowing your history can make you sound impressive. Fantasy novels are just madmen telling stories to fools, and everyone is happy. Who there would care about the disappointments that make up most of life?

Works I've read and really enjoyed. I hope we can share these unusual stories and discuss the questions they raise.

I'll add recommended books if I've read them and think they're good. If a book isn't on the list, it just doesn't suit my current tastes. For now, the list is mostly historical and xianxia web novels, with a few science fiction, w

I know that the author is among the top writers of historical military novels, and the author probably thinks he writes well. However, it's best to write less negative comments in the comments section and when writing about it. The readers who read the comments and subscribe to chapters are people who support you.
It seems the author only described the abilities of Tang Dynasty generals, failing to depict the inherently superior military qualities of the Tang soldiers. Just as a single Han general could defeat five barbarian tribes, the same feat was possible in the Tang Dynasty. Similarly, Li Shimin's victory over the Turks was a testament to the Tang Dynasty's numerous victories against overwhelming odds.
If the second generation of the Tang Dynasty could change their surname to Wu Zhou, there's no reason why they couldn't change it to Wang. The actions of their predecessor, Wang Mang, are historically documented. Wu Zetian, a woman, endured the clutches of two emperors, using every means to obtain the throne. There's no reason the male lead couldn't do the same. If there are no conditions, create them; if there are no opportunities, create them.
I didn't want to say much, as the author usually interacts with readers quite a bit. But you're saying that you're not writing on your knees, that you don't rely on this meager income to make a living, and that readers are begging you for food? Only those who genuinely love this book want it to continue and hope for consistent updates.
I recommend reading this book. Read the introduction first, then the comments. I couldn't resist subscribing and saying a few words first. I've rarely seen a book with such a meticulously written introduction lately. This introduction alone is worth reading. Let's talk about comments. Many people are debating the issue of bloodline.
The author possesses profound skill, but so what? This book might have been a minor hit ten years ago. Times have changed. Readers have absolutely no interest in this kind of writing. What does it matter if it's about imperial ambitions and beautiful women? You can't find any information about ancient history on Baidu these days.
Let me point out the problems. The interactions between the characters are strange. The relationships between colleagues and subordinates are odd. Liu Rengui's portrayal of Li Yifu is particularly peculiar; is his simple assessment of Li Yifu as a treacherous minister enough? Seeing Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang finally reveals the oddities.
The reason for the poor performance is that, while the novel is supposed to be set in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it focuses primarily on the Korean Peninsula and Japan, which readers are not interested in. This is the main reason.
The book is excellent; I follow it every day, but it suddenly stopped updating yesterday. I'm a little worried—maybe it'll be abandoned altogether? 😟
I don't know what happens next, but I've read over a hundred chapters. The protagonist seems to have some mental issues. He volunteered for dangerous missions multiple times, each time accompanied by a wry smile—he's acting like a lunatic. There's no main plot; the protagonist doesn't seem to know what he's doing, he doesn't try to get promoted, he doesn't make money, he's just playing with his life. The plot is well-written, but it's hard to get immersed in it.
