Qidian Great Books Collector
A good book and a fine pot of tea. Even after savoring them, their flavors linger.
New-Release Fanatic (Also Recommending Older Books; Please Favorite and Follow~)
As long as I live, I'll keep testing books. As long as Qidian stays open, I'll keep updating this list. I haven't been reading much lately, and I'm pretty picky. My reviews may be slow too, ✍🏻️, but every book I recommend is still carefully chosen. Sometimes, when people look for something to read, they notice something strange: everyone's out of books, yet they still ask each other for recommendations. Isn't this way of huddling together for warmth kind of fun~ I think it's the words that br

A Collection of Top-Tier Reads
I’ve been reading for ten years... Quality guaranteed!!! These recommendations are sincere. Every book I add is, in my opinion, one of the best in its time. Fellow readers, feel free to chat with me o(≧v≦)o I have a pretty sound worldview, a strong sense of the rule of law, and a good grasp of modern society, so I won’t read books that are anti-human or inhumane. In other words, I don’t read dark fiction. If that’s your thing, please look elsewhere. I have another flaw: I’m a bit of a neat fre
Mainly Recommending Lesser-Known Historical Periods
This list focuses on stories from lesser-known historical periods, including the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the Qin and Han dynasties, the Jin, Northern and Southern dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the transition from the Yuan to the Ming, and foreign history. I'll carefully select books with good writing and compelling stories to recommend. Those with especially original premises and strong writing will get extra attention. These are books that aren't dumbed

Historical Novels I Like
Historical novels I've read and enjoyed.
Talent and Passion in Equal Measure
A writer’s depth determines the dramatic tension of a story and how vivid its characters feel. The passion an author puts in determines a work’s soul. This list doesn’t include formulaic, hollow, and tedious works.
[Brilliant Stars] That Summer Night, We Gazed at the Milky Way
👌☝🖐 Every novel worth recognizing is a thrilling vortex leading to a real world, capturing a moment of glory as its author ascends to godhood. A good novel should be a vivid world that runs on its own, with an internally consistent logic. These fictional worlds are like stars of varying brightness, shining across the heavens. This list gathers a selection from that galaxy for your consideration. The most important criterion for evaluating a novel here is its [world-building completeness]. For no
[Man Ci Pavilion] The Spirit of Books, Words That Fill the World
I've browsed a little of all kinds of books. I like books with interesting values, original plots, and sensible characters. The way things play out should make sense. Some may not quite fit that description, but I have to read them first to know. So feel free to have a look. Wuxia, fantasy, historical fiction, xianxia, urban stories about business and politics, classical romance, game fanfiction, and more. (Sometimes I suddenly get into a certain genre for one reason or another.) (You can tell

[Book Quality Inspector]

High-IQ Gems Recommended by a Ten-Year Bookworm
I mainly recommend novels with no female lead or a single female lead, or ones with a cool, dark, and sensible protagonist. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm pretty laid-back, so updates are irregular.

Strolling Across the Page, Lost in Time
Nothing is perfect, and web fiction is no exception! A recommendation doesn't mean a book is flawless, and criticism doesn't mean I don't love it. This list thrives on both praise and criticism! My three tiers of web fiction: Lower tier: familiar formulas (lots of tropes, plenty to read) Middle tier: boundless imagination (bold ideas and unexpected twists) Upper tier: joy, sorrow, love, and hate (stories that move you endure) Everyone loves an Immortal Grass masterpiece, but such books are rare

A Vast Library Through the Ages: Great Reads of Every Kind, Plus Self-Recommendations and Promising Newcomers
Some books are wonderfully written but hardly known, buried in the endless sea of novels. It's a real shame. This list is dedicated to finding excellent stories across all kinds of genres. I carefully select books I enjoy and share what I consider classics with more readers. Writing a book isn't easy. If there's room, I'll add new books that authors recommend themselves. Once the list is full, I'll remove books previously added from reader comments and make room for new self-recommendations. Us

This is outrageous! There are actually people in the comments section saying we shouldn't pursue industrialization. Did he want to be killed again by the Japanese, Westerners, and Mongols? Did he really want to be a slave?
Good, don't get into that nonsense about industrialization.
For new book lovers
First of all, I personally feel this is a rare gem among Song Dynasty novels! I tried to open it several times, only to be discouraged by the comments! In the end, it turned out I was blindly optimistic; even Shennong (a legendary Chinese physician) might not have had medical certification 😜, just kidding.
It's good that you're back to writing history; this is the pinnacle of the history genre.
Santa Claus: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
#Santa Claus is Missing# In the winter, the morning at Yanda University is shrouded in silence. Snowflakes, illuminated by the lights, resemble silver sprites, adorning every corner of the campus. Students tread through the snow, leaving behind a series of crisp footsteps, bringing a unique melody to this morning.
Some comments I recently read after finishing the latest chapter
1. Only a little over a year has passed in the 500+ chapters of the timeline. The emperor ascended the throne at the age of 8, so the two empresses dowager would have to act as regents for at least another 6 years, right? So how are you going to arrange things later? Are you going to write over 2000 chapters before returning power to the emperor?

July is over just like that, it's so sad. 😭
It's definitely going to be a masterpiece!!!
The protagonist ascended the throne in March of the 8th year of the Yuanfeng era, at the age of 9. The story is currently at the end of the first year of the Yuanyou era, in September. He is currently 10 years old, in his second year on the throne. December is his birthday, called the Ascension Dragon Festival in the book.
I deeply regret subscribing... After reading three hundred chapters, the protagonist is still only nine years old and has to rely on scheming and power struggles...
