Personal Favorites
Mostly fantasy and historical fiction. This is my personal reading list. Paratrooper Bai, spare me the nonsense. Most people these days are illiterate idiots. They struggle with long sentences and written language, and even have trouble understanding short, conversational sentences. They can read ten thousand words and still have no idea what the author wrote. They desperately want to identify with the characters and get their so-called thrills. As a result, these works can never become real lit
My Reading List
This humble abode is simple, but my virtue gives it fragrance. Moss greens the steps, and grass brings its color to the window. I talk and laugh with learned scholars, and no common folk visit. I can play my plain zither and read Buddhist scriptures. No music to disturb my ears, no paperwork to weary my body.

The map of the Roman Empire in 1180 was roughly the same as in 1170. (Image from the internet) In 1170, the Roman Empire was under the Komnenos dynasty. The great collapse at the Battle of Manciccott in 1071 led to the loss of Anatolia. After Alexius I ascended the throne in 1081, he initiated a series of reforms and recovered lost territories.
I'm from Epirus, just passing by. These days, even a true Romance enthusiast like me can't easily find a book to read. 😭
Is the author planning to write about a pro- Islam, anti-Western Roman Empire? The bias is too obvious. In fact, for the Eastern Roman Empire, Latins were a minor problem, easily managed by playing one side against another; the Turks were the real threat. Using Turks as mercenaries was normal, but allowing Islam to spread unchecked would lead to Asia Minor no longer belonging to the empire.
The starting policy was so stupid; no normal person who traveled back in time would do that.

Problem: It feels too much like popular science; the author might consider referring to a few books describing Chinese history. Although I personally don't know much about Roman history, I've seen too many formulaic historical novels written in China these days, and they've all lost their originality—in that respect, this book is truly refreshing. There aren't many historical novels about Rome on Qidian right now, so I hope the author can persevere. Keep up the good work, author!
How can one update a day, and how can Rome be revived?!
I'll repost it. This is something I saw on Zhihu posted by a master's student from Oxford University specializing in Byzantine history, about the land situation of the Komnenian dynasty. Most of the land in Byezy was already the private property of high-ranking nobles, and private property was not taxed.
The above is from the complete history of software.
It's Rome! Rome! Waaaaah... (Sobbing uncontrollably)
