An Old Reader's Collection, Updated Irregularly
I've been reading web novels for over a decade. The first one I read was Kunlun, in a wuxia magazine. This list recommends novels of all genres, with short reviews.
Great Historical Fiction (Since There Are Few Historical Novels, There Are Even Fewer Good Ones, So This List Includes Some Abandoned Books)
Quality historical novels involving transmigration. Since many of you tend to enjoy fantasy, I will also include some novels combining fantasy and history here. History remains the main focus.
A Few Great Books I've Read
Mostly historical fiction.
Books Focused on Imagination and Logic
My list mainly recommends imaginative stories with smart characters, and has fewer power fantasies. I also make sure I've read every book on it. Some other books are pretty good too, such as Old Dao's This World Is on the Brink, Riding in Another World, and Half a Frog's From 1935 to 2020. Highly recommended.

A Ten-Year Veteran Reader's Completely Subjective Book List: Historical Fiction
What’s an immortal herb to one reader may be poison to another. That’s just common knowledge in the novel-reading world. I’ll briefly describe what I enjoy and what puts me off. I don’t have any dealbreakers so severe that I’ll drop a book just because one particular thing is present. In general, though, more of what I like and less of what I dislike means a higher rating. My preferences: 1. A clear central storyline, or intense conflict that keeps readers hooked. 2. A well-written romance with

Having read up to chapter 134, I still find it hard to accept, and I have to get this off my chest. The plot development was fine, and the attempt at emotional manipulation was fine too, but I just feel very uncomfortable. I feel like this is a whitewashing. He had the guts to embezzle, the guts to run off and indulge in pleasure, and then he takes a knife for the protagonist and he's whitewashed?
I abandoned the game, came back, and then abandoned it again. Here are my thoughts.
I was disgusted by this whole "brotherhood betrayal" thing and gave up. Then, these past two days, because of a recommendation for "The Long Sword of the Late Jin Dynasty," I came back to pick it up again. Since it's been so long and I've forgotten the details, I initially thought it was quite good, but then I kept wondering why I'd given up in the first place.
The latest chapters are just utter garbage. The protagonist's career is taking off, he has gathered several thousand soldiers, and the situation looks very promising. Suddenly, another traitor appears, and the protagonist insists on taking two people to eliminate him, only to find himself surrounded. The protagonist is in a fucking, impotent rage again…
Questions about "golden fingers" I've seen many friends discussing the concepts of "golden fingers" and "systems," with varying opinions. Here, I'd like to share my perspective after discussing it with the author: It's well known that "the poor are learned in literature, the rich in martial arts."
Another pitfall is that the protagonist portrays Zhang Jiao as too despicable. None of the three Zhang brothers had descendants, so they couldn't possibly have harbored any ambition for power. I believe that the three Zhang brothers knew that rebellion would inevitably lead to their deaths and defeat, and that they were being used by powerful families, yet they still instigated a rebellion of the…
The pacing was already slow, and then they had to describe the side quests in such detail—it was truly frustrating. Zhang Liao was spent half the chapter building up to him, then he just appeared, got introduced, and that was it. And he wasn't even going to join the protagonist, so why all that detailed explanation?
About Yang Qiu and his deeds. Historically, this ruler was a cruel official who was determined to eliminate the eunuchs. But it is strange that he killed Duan Jiong, who was a powerful figure in the army at the time. History does not provide an answer.

My neighbor Xuande banned me from speaking, just because I said he was bad. Unbelievable! I'm so angry! And I even subscribed to his book instead of this one recently. Unbelievable!
A: Regarding the reason why there needs to be a cheat code: First, it accelerates the protagonist's growth in martial arts. The protagonist's social class is too low; his only chance to rise to prominence or even change history is on the battlefield. But four years later, everything changes drastically; how can an ordinary farmer survive? Therefore, this cheat-like ability is a necessary evil.
