A Sensible Plot
The first web novel I ever read was fan fiction. After that, I gradually branched out into other kinds of books. I've read quite a few genres over the years, and I've put the ones I think are good here.

Imperial Ambitions
When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, my flowers will bloom and all others will die. A thousand miles of rivers and mountains, a scene of grandeur: how many heroes have come and gone? Thrones are built on bones, imperial roads on yellow sand. The history books record them all in a few simple strokes. Three Kingdoms: Empire of the Realm, by Xiaoxiao Majia No. 1 Three Kingdoms of Immortals and Warriors, by Baiyin Longma
Chu Qiu's Reading List
Writing: Simply put, this refers to an author's basic command of language and ability to tell a story. Themes: This means the ideas and messages traditionally found in literary works. Web novels do have their own peculiarities, of course, but I venture to say that a web novel's themes can generally be judged from two angles. First, the issues the author seeks to examine, along with the ideas and emotions conveyed through the work. Second, the perspective from which the work approaches its subjec
A Veteran Reader's Famine-Proof Picks: No Idiot Plots, No Saintly Leads (Follow and Save!)
A supply of reading material for anyone suffering from a reading drought. Fellow readers are also welcome to recommend books to me, preferably new, original, and imaginative ones. Everyone is welcome! Like a book? Give it a like. Think it’s no good? Give it a dislike. If a book gets too many dislikes, I’ll remove it. Every book I recommend is one I’ve read. I’m genuinely suffering from a reading drought, and I read quite quickly. If I get into a book, I can read over a million characters in a da
Keeping Track of the Novels I Read Often
A strange reading list that's been stuck under review forever
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.)

The protagonist, who has no noble family background, has no other way to rise in rank except through military merit. If the author wants to arrange his rise to power reasonably, he can only focus more on military affairs. He will inevitably have to participate in the campaigns against Shu and Wu.
The struggle for Wei 24-32
Poison Testing, Chapter Four: Retreat In Chapter Four, the Wei army is defeated and fleeing, hiding in a cave. During their escape, some Wei soldiers challenge the protagonist to a sparring match. The group has just been defeated and is fleeing; what's with the sparring? Is it to make the protagonist seem like a master of military boxing? It's incredibly toxic!
A pretty good book. The concept is excellent: ethnic integration under the guidance of a strong leader. From this perspective, this book should have a place among the works in the historical section. After all, many historical time-travel novels are unreadable in terms of their underlying message; they are purely for entertainment.
Don't try to read this novel with your brain, or you won't be able to finish it. Even seasoned bookworms should probably skip it. The protagonist is a lowly centurion with no family background or status, yet wherever he goes, a bunch of powerful officials and noble families dislike him and want to kill him. Everywhere he goes, high-ranking officials either inexplicably pay attention to him or are hostile towards him. Are you kidding me? A centurion who started out as a lackey?!
The fact that the protagonist named the country Qin is a major flaw. Wouldn't such a dynasty with such a terrible reputation and abusive rule cause public resentment? The Sui Dynasty also shared the same name.
I'll give you a 100,000 reward first; it's well-written.
I've been looking for novels depicting the later period of the Three Kingdoms, and this is the best one I personally think is written. I have high hopes for the author.
It's awful. The main character is poorly developed, yet they dare to label him as "decisive and ruthless," implying a strong, decisive, and efficient personality. Where is that reflected in the character? He's like a puppet on a string.
I'm very disappointed after reading for so long. What kind of rubbish has she been writing lately? A Wen Yuan is so powerful, capable of taking on tens of thousands of people single-handedly?! It's complete nonsense. To reach the word count, they dragged out the plot every day. A single woman made the protagonist suffer terribly.
If you were the game designers for the card game "Three Kingdoms Kill," how would you design the main character's skills? 1. Ordinary Yang Zheng, 4 HP, Skill 1: Horsemanship (standard for Liangzhou generals, nothing to mention) Second skill: Plunder (Whenever Yang Zheng deals damage to another player, he can obtain any card from that player, including the judgment zone)
