A Reading List for Readers Out of Books: Primordial Chaos and Mythology
History, fantasy, and mythology: books I've been following
➽ Recommending Quality Reads ➠ Reviewing Budding Gems ☞ Appreciating the Best Stories ✃
1. Book recommendations ✍ Every book here is one I've read at least up to its latest chapter. I don't skim, and I won't recommend books just because someone gave me a gift. My ability is limited, but my integrity is guaranteed. That's why updates are slow. 2. Ratings ✍ I rate books I think deserve a good or excellent rating. A rating is a sign of quality. Rating rules ☞ The maximum score is 5, for example, The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. The minimum is 3. I don't bother rating anything below that.
Pure Thrills
When I first started reading, I loved fantasy and epic worlds. Later I got into urban stories and wild, imaginative plots, then historical fiction. Now I'm back to fast-paced wish-fulfillment stories. I've been reading for ten years: if the pacing is slow, I won't read it; if it's too short, I won't read it either.
Books Worth Collecting
They're all on my bookshelf, and I've saved the completed ones too.

I don't understand why the author didn't let the protagonist become emperor. You know, if he acts as regent three times without becoming emperor, the succeeding emperor will definitely kill him. Because he has enough ability to seize the throne, regardless of whether he wants to or not, as long as he has the ability, the emperor will absolutely kill him.
Europe was able to have an industrial revolution because it completed primitive accumulation. But what did you use for your industrial revolution?
Ancient China could not possibly have witnessed an industrial revolution. The constraints of Confucianism were akin to theocracy in the West; a mere whimsical technique would never gain widespread acceptance. Even if an emperor forcefully promoted it, society would only perceive it as the emperor's personal hobby. At best, it would result in the demise of the regime and the death of the emperor.

That's too naive. They understand neither the social hierarchy of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, nor the social classes. Some policies aren't necessarily good just because they're right. And just because something benefits the people doesn't mean the emperor and upper-class nobles will like it.
The protagonist seems like a selfless nanny. In ancient royalty, to live a long life, one either had to be a muddle-headed prince or become emperor. Someone as restless as the protagonist is bound to get rid of him after his elder brother ascends the throne.
This is pure nonsense. The author didn't do their research properly; many parts are completely absurd, and it reads like a contemporary novel instead of a historical one.
The story is good, and the author's writing is also good, but I didn't understand the part about the ration coupons. The main purpose of anti-counterfeiting is to prevent counterfeit money from affecting the credibility of genuine money. Your anti-counterfeiting method is actually a regional code plus three complicated seals.
Can you please stop writing romance scenes? It's so awkward to watch.
The author got carried away.
In ancient times, beheading a gangster in the street was no problem at all; afterwards, posting a notice about the crime of attacking the royal palace would settle the matter. Moreover, this gang has even proclaimed themselves the King and Crown Prince of Guangzhou, which is a clear indication of rebellion.
