Multiple Female Leads! Infinite Worlds, Historical Fiction, and Anime-Inspired Stories
Most of my recommendations are books I personally like. They range from anime-inspired stories to historical fiction, and I've read them all. The writing is good, too. (I tend to like stories with multiple female leads, but I'll also add well-written stories with a single female lead.) In the end, it's all down to personal taste! (Feel free to leave recommendations for good novels.) I'll use star ratings to show roughly how much I liked each book. They're only a guide: five stars is best, while

Author, this is truly a golden age to begin with. The country is full of talented people, both civil and military, even if the protagonist is a fool. They can sit firmly on the dragon throne and enjoy eternal fame. However, their grasp of historical figures is not very good. Lü Bu was not actually a sycophant.
Shouldn't the most desperate thing be... Civil officials: such as Wei Zheng, Hai Rui, and Fang Xiaoru. Military generals: Zhu Qizhen, Zhao Kuo, Zhao Guangyi and the like! In the north there was Temujin, and in the northwest there was Modu Chanyu! The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has Songtsen Gampo, and Northeast China has Wanyan Aguda. Along the southeastern coast are: Toyotomi Hideyoshi
This starting lineup isn't just a hellish start, it's a godlike start! With so many capable and powerful figures, even if you followed the example of the Wanli Emperor's reign, the empire wouldn't descend into chaos. Even if you entrusted the administration to Empress Lü, Empress Zhangsun, and Empress Wu Zetian, the empire wouldn't fall into chaos.
I have Crown Prince Sima Zhong, adopted sons Lü Bu, Yang Guang, Cao Pi, Liu Shan, and Hu Hai, foster sons Ran Min and Shi Hu, beloved concubines Zhao Ji, Wu Zetian, Jia Nanfeng, Lü Zhi, Diao Chan, and Chen Yuanyuan, the retired Emperor Zhao Gou, my elder brother Zhao Ji, the Grand Tutor Zhang Jiao, the Emperor's brother-in-law Li Yuan, the Duke Yang Jian, the Emperor's father-in-law Liang Ji, the…
If there's only one, you're likely to lose. But if there are several, it's a different story. They reach a balance, and that's when you have the biggest advantage. It all depends on what you do.
I've read this kind of story before, but they were all written in a chaotic mess! The relationships were unclear, leaving me completely confused! And they all had terrible endings! This one has relatively clear relationships, so keep it up, author!
Why? Why? The writing is decent, and the plot doesn't have any major flaws, so why have you stopped updating?
The writing and plot are both decent, but the pacing is just too slow. If it were a slice-of-life or romance novel, a slower pace would be understandable, but for a historical novel, especially one set in an alternate history, with each story taking so long, the pacing is ridiculously slow.
Goodbye everyone, I can't take this pace anymore.
All I want to say is, author, can you handle this kind of setting? If your historical knowledge isn't strong enough, then it'll just become a simplistic, amateurish story.
