Following the Best and Seeking the New
I’ve been freeloading off web novels for 20 years, and I like Heroes of Might and Magic and kingdom-building stories. These days I’m always checking out new books and saving anything good, but so many new authors get abandoned before they can grow an audience. So I’m sharing my recent discoveries and the books I follow regularly. I hope web novels keep getting better, and that everyone finds an immortal herb they love every day. I’ll add new finds from time to time.

This is truly captivating. Stepping outside the usual romantic entanglements, the external situation is opened up, elevating the overall perspective and strategic vision. The man quickly achieves wealth and status, and his values are firmly established. It's true that men aren't very adept at domestic power struggles; this man, leveraging his superior strength, crushes everything in his path—it's exhilarating to watch.
The protagonist's overpowered abilities seem excessive, making him appear somewhat frustrated. Despite having the ability to sustain himself through war, slaughtering enemies, summoning soldiers, and overthrowing dynasties, he chooses to engage in political infighting with civil officials. Can he possibly win against them? The emperor is the one with the strongest army.
Flat-chested and shapeless, like a matchstick figure in the classic novel *Dream of the Red Chamber*, how laughable!
Can you please stop pushing this garbage onto me?
The entire army was surrounded and engaged in close combat. The author told me that some people scattered and fled as deserters. If they could all escape, how could it still be called being surrounded on all sides and engaged in close combat? I was so frustrated reading this that I almost dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
The fake Baoyu was one of the culprits behind the Jia family's downfall. He ruined several unmarried sisters. These sisters were all high-quality women in the society at that time, and important resources for family marriage alliances. They had an older sister who was an imperial concubine, and their families had two marquises.
A new genre on Qidian: The protagonist is mentally challenged.
I'm looking to create character cards for Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai. Do you have any suggestions regarding their appearance? Feel free to post pictures! A poor author is desperately seeking images!
In feudal society, loyalty was both the most valuable and the cheapest commodity. Why did founding emperors often kill their meritorious officials? Why did the army rapidly decline after the founding emperor's reign, with powerful figures like the "Handker" (or "Handker") gaining control? Did you think emperors were fools?
I'm not usually one to complain, but seeing the protagonist constantly surrounded by heavily armored guards in the capital was just too much to bear. Possessing armor was a red line under feudal rule from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties.
