Web Novel Picks: Not for Beginners, Off the Beaten Path
Not beginner-level fiction. Personal taste, entirely subjective. I'll score each work based on my preferences, out of 10. The books on the rankings are pretty good, but most put commercial success first. They're like junk food: great the first time, but too much gets cloying, and they don't have much to offer beyond passing the time. These days I mostly browse at random, and I'm not as free as I used to be, so finding a book that suits my taste is pretty rare. I've read every book I review. I

I've gained a new understanding of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty. In the late Shang period, King Zhou heavily relied on slaves, listened to women's opinions, opposed human sacrifices, and showed disrespect for the gods, severely damaging divine authority and the interests of the nobility. These factors became grounds for his downfall.
The *Jian Shang* is not a historical record; it's more like a collection of imaginative stories based on archaeological discoveries. It might be fine as a reference for writing novels, but treating it as historical fact is no different from praising Emperor Xin.
[Excerpt] "I Initiated the Campaign Against the Shang Dynasty When Pan Geng Moved the Capital to Yin"
Overall Review: This is a historical time-travel story, but not a popular one like the Han, Tang, or Ming dynasties. Instead, it focuses on the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties. Through extensive environmental and detailed descriptions, it vividly portrays a primitive society. The overall narrative is far from dull; in fact, I believe it has immense potential.
It depends on which class overthrew the previous dynasty!
Those who call Di Xin a tyrant, and whose history books also smear him, must remember: 1. It was the nobles with fiefdoms who rebelled and overthrew him! Since the beneficiaries were the nobles, it must be that Di Xin's policies at the time harmed the interests of the noble class! As for the history books compiled by the Zhou Dynasty? How could they stand on legal grounds without smearing Di Xin?
I only remember the system of inner and outer courts, the reverence for Heaven and protection of the people, and the multiple relocations of the capital.
It's rare to find a novel about time travel to the Shang Dynasty; such a story is rare, with only one appearing every few centuries. Author, keep up the good work!
It's not easy; finally, an author is writing about the Shang Dynasty instead of the Investiture of the Gods. In the past, most of the novels about the Yin and Shang dynasties were fantasy novels based on the Investiture of the Gods, and very few people wrote about history.
After unifying the world, the ruler of the Xin clan proclaimed himself emperor, known as Emperor Xin.
It would take several generations for the Shang dynasty to succeed; at that time, the Shang were too powerful.
I particularly admire the Zhou Dynasty's enfeoffment system. In a desolate and remote place with a limited population, enfeoffing people to conquer, develop, and expand their territories... Forget about the Zhou's grand unification; it's meaningless. There's a modern saying that some people use modern yield per mu to represent ancient times.
