A List to Pass the Time (History, Fanfiction, and Xianxia)
I really haven't found many good books lately, though plenty on my list are still updating. (Most were added gradually after I'd read them.) I'll finish some of my backlog before looking for new ones. Since I've read most of these, the list reflects my personal tastes pretty strongly. My preferences keep changing, too, so it's a bit of a mess 🤔. Please bear with me. (Though maybe hardly anyone looks at my list anyway.) Thanks to July for the joy your books brought me. I dedicate this to July, t

Some books I've read
Great Novels That Never Made the Top Charts
I keep scrolling through the books at the top of the charts, but none of them are to my taste. Then one day, at some moment, I stumble across a book I love. I read it in one sitting, and the more I read, the more I like it. I leave a comment, scrape together 100 coins to tip the author, and give it my recommendation and the one or two monthly votes I can spare. Then I search the rankings and scroll for ages before I find it. Sigh ╯﹏╰. Those poor little books that never make the top of the charts
In a Reading Slump? Veteran Readers, Come On In
I've added a recommendation rating system. Five stars: A must-read masterpiece in its category, the kind you'll regret missing. Four stars: A great pick in its category. Generally, a book needs solid prose, pacing, and plot to make the cut. Three stars: A mixed bag. Whether it appeals to you is up to the author's skill. My main recommendations are historical, gaming, and urban fiction.
My Private Book Stash
I mainly recommend stories with smart characters, strong writing, invincible protagonists, reborn characters, sci-fi, fantasy, and promising new works. Basically, anything I personally enjoy goes on the list. I'm not great at recommending books and won't write much in the way of reviews, but everything here is something I can keep reading.

Only Stories with Few Cliches Make the List!
I usually skip books by the big names. No harems, brainless plots, or dumb characters. If the table of contents gives away the plot, I drop it immediately. I'm in a terrible reading slump. To be honest, quite a few books on this list only held my interest at first, and I didn't follow them later. But everyone's tastes are different, so I left them here. The five-star ratings are all for my personal favorites. There are only so many ways to write a story, so what matters is the writing and wheth

First question: Did Chen Wang have no women and no children? A: Chen Wang time-traveled in the eighth year of the Chongzhen reign (1638), and it is currently the twelfth year of the Chongzhen reign (1639). Second question: Chen Wang's subordinates A: They are clan-based military generals with blood ties similar to Cao Cao's Cao clan and Xiahou clan. Question 3: Luo Xiaoming's physical condition
The author is truly impressive; you can see it from "The World of Huang Tian." The author clearly put a lot of effort into research, and the descriptions of ancient military equipment, battle formations, army systems, and war scenes are very detailed. As someone who is an enthusiast of ancient armor and weaponry, I think the author's book has the best depiction of these details among all historical novels online.
The scholars of the time had already pondered why the country descended into chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty and had provided their own answers. Kong Zhenyi: In Chengdu Prefecture, 70% of the land was occupied by the princes, and after deducting the land for military settlements, the common people were left with only 10%.
The author could go treasure hunting in Linyi, Shandong. My great-grandfather discovered about 9 tons of gold in Feixian County, which was used as military funds. That treasure was buried during the Huang Chao era.
Should I join the peasant army or support the Ming Dynasty? Personally, I'd rather join the peasant army, even though it's a more difficult path.

I've seen everyone's requests for more updates, and I'm currently working hard to write!
I was not feeling well the past few days and was really sorry for the missed update! It's much better now, I'll definitely write as much as I can!
It is indeed a good book. The war scenes are described in detail and vividly, and the author's skill is evident in the details. Unlike the average third-rate online novels that only briefly touch on the subject, the first time I saw such a realistic and powerful work was "A Small Soldier in the Ming Dynasty Border Army".
Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangshan, what kind of people are they? They served Emperor Chongzhen with their lives. When the common people faced famine and had nothing to eat, the court not only failed to reduce taxes or provide relief, but also increased taxes and levies. Countless people starved to death; cannibalism became rampant. Driven to desperation, the people were forced to rebel. It wasn't that the people wanted to rebel; they were forced into rebellion.
The story feels like it's going off-track. The protagonist wants to rebel, but he's always been a henchman of the Ming court, with no autonomy whatsoever. Plus, his character is weak. He's portrayed as a loyal subject; how will people view him if he rebels? It's like Wang Jingwei fighting the Nationalist government while simultaneously resisting the Japanese – how convincing is that?
