【Brilliant Stars】That Summer Night, We Gazed at the Milky Way
👌☝🖐 Every novel worth recognizing is a thrilling vortex leading to a real world, capturing a moment of glory as its author ascends to godhood. A good novel should be a vivid world that runs on its own, with an internally consistent logic. These fictional worlds are like stars of varying brightness, shining across the heavens. This list gathers a selection from that galaxy for your consideration. The most important criterion for evaluating a novel here is its 【world-building completeness】. For no

Currently Following (An Emergency Kit for Reading Slumps)
These are the novels I've been following lately. Everything on this list suits my taste, has something distinctive about it, and is worth recommending in my opinion. They're only books that fit my personal preferences. If you like them too, I'll be delighted, but everyone has different tastes, so it's perfectly normal if you don't. I've been reading for ten years, and as a veteran bookworm, I'm always running out of things to read. Finding a good novel that suits my taste is no easy feat. Ratin

I personally think these are pretty good.
When You’re Hungry, Don’t Call Mom
We eat to live, and read for pleasure. A few bites of food that go down easily, a few chapters of a novel that catch the eye: such is the ordinary rhythm of life. But ordinary doesn't mean dull. Life is about experience and reflection. The wonderful journeys and brilliant ideas are all there in books. Fame and fortune are nothing but dust; the joys and sorrows of life fill a thousand volumes. A good book is food for the soul. Are you hungry?
My Personal Reading Stash
Decent reads I've read recently or am currently reading. At the very least, I think they're worth reading. Any genre goes. I'll remove a book if I stop enjoying it.
[Cloud Pavilion] Interesting Books I've Read Myself
Some interesting books of all genres and writing styles. I only care whether I find them interesting. 👍 Good: worth reading, with no glaring issues. 👌 Decent: pretty good overall, with a few shortcomings. 👊 Bad: dropped by the author, or has glaring issues or flaws.
All Worth a Read (Ongoing Series, Recommended by a 20-Year Bookworm)
Books I think are pretty good and worth getting into. (I deleted the first dozen or so older books. The ones I'm recommending now are mostly still updating.)
Reborn, Industry, Celebrities, Internet, History, Hegemony
Just introducing some new books that are pretty good.
Ahua's Food for the Soul
Ah Hua has a bit of an artsy streak, so you can count on the writing in this list to be good and not dumbed down. Ah Hua also has a bit of a playboy streak, so I don't like repeating the same type. (I also really like the books on the rankings, such as The Paradise of Reincarnation, The First Sequence by Zhouzi, and Apocalypse Forecast, but I'll leave them off the list since you can find them yourselves.)
Novels I'm Following
A personal list, mostly for novels I might read someday.
Shennong's Taste Test
Everyday poison tests. This list focuses on urban fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, and light novels, with other genres on the side. No recommendations included. I'm pretty resistant to bad books, so if you want to test one out, leave a comment. If you enjoy the list, please follow. Thanks! P.S. My ratings aren't objective; they're mostly based on personal taste. What I consider deal-breakers: 1. Too many brainless characters and extreme black-and-white thinking 2. Cringeworthy ro

After reading a lot of comments, I didn't want to complain, but I couldn't help it. Why are there people who want the protagonist not to be the emperor but to be Zhuge Liang? You should first look at the background of the era clearly. In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms era, vassal towns were separated, rituals collapsed, and music was ruined. There were Khitans in the north, and there was a hidden party in the west. People, there are also separatist forces such as Meng Shu and Southern Tang in the south. If Zhou Shizong Chai Rong had not died, the protagonist could indeed be a figure like Zhuge Liang, but he died young. If you ask the protagonist to support his son Chai Zongxun, how can you guarantee that he is Liu Chan and not Wanli? Will you wait for the protagonist's death to unload the grindstone and kill the donkey? No emperor can tolerate the existence of a powerful minister, so the best direction is to proclaim himself emperor, sweep away other base forces, and unify the world, so that he can fight against the Khitan in the north and create a prosperous age.
No matter what, the two brothers of the Zhao family must be killed. Dabo is really the most shameful dynasty! The Emperor of the Zhao family is the most shameless and wretched emperor
It's a pity that people can't start from the beginning and never forget their original intention. It's just a joke. The Chai Rong written earlier is more wise and powerful, and the more he takes care of the protagonist, the more he feels dissatisfied when he sees the protagonist usurping the throne. I originally thought the author was writing about Zhuge Liang, or even worse, Sima Yi, but I didn't expect that he was writing about Sima Zhao. Many people say that the protagonist is a modern person, so he should usurp the throne. Alas, do modern Chinese people have no father, no mother, no country, and no home?
Actually, there is a question. In history, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were all ruled by warriors. The protagonist is a scholar, but at first he could not ride a horse. Why would warriors obey you? Why should I pay you? Can you go into battle and kill people? Do you represent the interests of the warrior? So this is a big problem, and I don't feel like there's any farming plot in the book.
Is a princess from a small country worthy of being taken over by the protagonist? If this princess is really allowed to give birth to an heir for the protagonist, then they are the orthodox people of Dayu who can't blow the stick? The protagonist woman should be the one to take care of her lower body. When the time comes, all the sticks will go to Neon and let them fight with the Japanese. They only need to get the territory, and no one wants it.
I know you like Zhu Yuanzhang, but it's just a matter of surpassing Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu and Tang Zong of Han Dynasty, and he often brings in private goods. I personally think that there are only two criteria for evaluating the emperors of China's feudal dynasties, territory and the ability to centralize power. In the context of the family world, isn't it the most important thing that I have the final say and the area that I have the final say over? The justice of the world is nothing more than an excuse. The justice is different from different angles. Two different countries, one is expanding its territory and is openly invading the other. They have done a lot of massacre and plunder in all dynasties. (Which soldier will listen to you if you don't massacre and plunder the city? The focus is on the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.) What's more, they even make some kind of dried meat. What's the point? Then after the invasion is completed, the legitimacy of the previous dynasty must be recognized and the territory of the previous dynasty is legally inherited. Just like the Yuan Emperor recognized the legitimacy of the Song Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang recognized the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass under the banner of supporting the country. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Puyi was also supported by the state. What it means to achieve justice in a country is pure nonsense. It means changing from one family to another. Will the people care about who rules and what race they belong to? The people only care about whose rule they can have enough food, clothing, warmth and family happiness. From the perspective of ordinary people, the mid-Song Dynasty or the mid-Qing Dynasty were undoubtedly very successful. The explosive growth of economy and population represented the happiness of ordinary people. Perhaps the Han Dynasty in Liu Heng's era was also good. From the emperor's point of view, the territories of the Qin, Han, Tang, Yuan and Qing Dynasties were very successful (the early and late territories recognized in Chinese history books) and the centralization of power was very good. The Song Dynasty was too aggrieved (Zhao Gou, who was reviled by millions of people, was successful from the emperor's point of view. He not only stabilized his imperial power but also gave the hat of killing Yue Fei to his subordinates, which is really amazing). Combined with the fact that more than half of the Ming Dynasty emperors died unexpectedly and the entire Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei commander retired safely, I personally suspect that he lost power very early. I hear people bragging about how big Zhu Yuanzhang's head is every day. I can't stand it if you say that he surpasses Song Zu. He is on par with the First Emperor and surpasses Li Shimin. I really dare to say that. Even Lao Zhu himself admitted that he could not inherit all the legal land of the Yuan Dynasty, but he still killed the heroes, which was the only one in all dynasties. In the early days, several cities were slaughtered for the population), the burial system was restored, and his son committed a crime and Ling Chi's daughter-in-law even used her daughter-in-law's sister as a house filler (really 666 murders are heart-breaking and inhumane), and he is worthy of comparison with the benevolent king who opened up territories. In what way can he compare to Emperor Qin? What can surpass Li Shimin? His Majesty the Emperor of Qin, one person throughout the ages, overthrew the six kingdoms, unified weights and measures, etc. How can he be compared to Zhu Yuanzhang? The neighboring countries that Li Shimin defeated could only bow to their vassals as grandsons and dare not disobey. Zhu Yuanzhang not only failed to conquer, but also successfully weakened the enemy's strength and became an overseas student within decades. The Ming Dynasty relied entirely on fans of TV dramas (especially fans after the glory of the Ming Dynasty. None of the history books I have read has as many words), If you don't submit to the throne, the Hetao will be given to the Mongolians (very Zhang Xueliang style) If you don't get married, you should also build a new temple first (it's not shameful to put it another way) If you don't pay tribute, Dunhuang will fall into the dust (ah, yes, yes, yes) If you don't cede territory, Xianjing and Xianjing will return to Goryeo (Kneel down and face Goryeo even if you don't want to) The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties pass through Qingxu, and all officials are exempted from sending. The king died in Sheji, Qizhen returned to the capital, and Yu Qian executed him. It's really great. The only one who can bring the whole Ming Dynasty to the table is Renzong, and he may have been killed by his son (looking at "Records of Xuanzong", I personally feel that it is very likely to be established). Zhu Di is also good, but he wasted people and money but had no corresponding results (the purpose of weakening was not achieved at all, which also indirectly caused the possibility of studying abroad). I can't bear to look directly at the little bit of territory left after Zhu Zhanji abandoned it (according to the territory recognized in our country's current history textbooks). To be honest, I was looking forward to Emperor Jianwen. Unfortunately, the radical move to cut down the feudal vassals failed. If successful, might he be able to make a difference like Kangxi? (Personally, I think Jianwen and Kangxi may have been a bit unlucky.) Specifically referring to the early period of Kangxi, he was indeed powerful. Although the latter period was the peak of the Little Ice Age, he dealt with a piece of shit. Don't wash Kangxi powder here. (Specially refers to fans of the Kangxi Dynasty). To sum up (there is no way to talk about each dynasty and each generation one by one), Zhu Yuanzhang is not as good as any of the founding kings (short-lived dynasties are not included), let alone Emperor Qin and Han Wu.
As the founder of the country, the protagonist still shows the pretentiousness and petty mentality of the urban small middle class when it comes to women.
The name Yu Chao is so ugly! Qian Chao can
Haha, don't tell me, what if the time traveler went to ancient times and became an emperor? Or will it still perish? They shout about the hatred of aliens and the irreconcilable hatred. In fact, it's useless. If you don't reform your thinking, it will be in vain. You can't save China at all. The only thing that can save China is to sweep feudalism into history and establish a republican era. Otherwise, there will be reincarnation of feudal dynasties one after another.
I read the chapter about abdication. The queen was determined to abdicate in order not to damage the national interests. She was a patriotic queen and the civil servants were loyal in order not to serve as second ministers to the Khitan. The military attache didn't have that much thought. He didn't even use the traditional five-dynasty official titles to give rewards to win people's hearts, so he bowed down! Everyone is full of feelings of family and country, pure minister! tm shocked me to death. This is the fifth generation! !
