Rescue for a Reading Slump: Veteran Reader Edition!!!
A ten-year veteran reader's personal recommendations. I've read every book myself, and I guarantee they won't be dull, formulaic, or brainless. No cringe, stupid, bland, or overly formulaic stories! P.S. I especially like recommending niche genres, tightly plotted stories, and books with big ideas.

The book review section is now corrupt and full of scoundrels, precisely because of insufficient updates. If authors diligently updated 10,000 words daily, the scoundrels would retreat in fear, and virtuous gentlemen would rejoice—a feat worthy of praise even from legendary emperors like Yao and Shun! I've heard that calves born in sheepfolds inevitably behave like sheep when they grow up.
I tried to come up with posthumous titles for the Tang Dynasty emperors myself.
The author's previous article on revising the posthumous titles and temple names of Tang emperors piqued my interest. After reviewing some materials and combining them with my own views on different aspects of Tang emperors, I would like to share my own proposed posthumous titles and temple names.
To the author: A ruler must first be a human being before he can be a ruler. Morality and ethics are not universally binding, but the difference between humans and animals lies in the fact that humans possess moral attributes. Ethics is the underlying framework of morality. It is laughable for someone without morality and who disregards human relationships to proclaim that their ambition is to save the people from suffering.
I just love this taste of feudal emperors.
Having read so many historical novels about emperors, this is a rare find. Many of these novels portray emperors as morally upright gentlemen. You're here to be a feudal emperor, I'm here to read a novel. That's more like it.
This is the first time I've truly understood the literal meaning of the word "commoner".
As the title suggests, the author writes exceptionally well. In all my years of reading, it's rare to find an online novel that captures the chaos and upheaval so effectively. Calling him the Du Fu of the online novel world wouldn't be an exaggeration, would it? 😁
After reading the author's commentary on Huang Chao, I would like to share my thoughts: I don't know if the author holds a completely negative view of peasant uprisings, but there were quite a few comments in that chapter that went straight for the point and relentlessly criticized them.
The early part of the story was very well written and readable. However, it gradually became entirely a harem story later on... A pity.
What wasn't mentioned was that the emperor targeted his two sisters-in-law; was he really going to continue the corrupt traditions of the Tang Dynasty? And he even emphasized that they were both violated by rebel troops. 😒😒😒
Holy crap, this protagonist is even more outrageous than Old Shao, the swordsman from the late Jin Dynasty.
Now, I'd like to inform you of a few things.
1. If you see missing words, sentences, or paragraphs, or if the logic is obviously flawed, the plot is obviously disjointed, or the writing is obviously stiff, just ignore it. 2. If you've forgotten a lot of the previous text, you can take this opportunity to review it. Also, most of the previous chapters will be deleted.
