My Reading List
Books I've read
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.
A List of Books I Really Love
Over the past few years, I've found the rankings less and less reliable, so I've decided to recommend books myself. (Following me won't do any good. Remember to click the bookmark button below instead.)
Classics Never Go Out of Style, Remember Me When You Run Out of Books
Revisit the classics, savor books during a reading drought, and personally test the poison. Fellow readers are sure to love this list. Mystery and thrillers are my favorites, though I also enjoy lighthearted comedy. Storytelling is the most important standard.
A Little Book Bag With Absolutely No Standards
I actually use this list as a bookshelf. I add books I've finished or that haven't finished updating yet, then wait until they've built up enough chapters to binge. So I have no particular standards for what I collect here. I don't care about recommendations, favorites, or monthly ticket rankings. I just go by the book's appeal, its updates, and whether it has been abandoned. Anyway, everything on this list is something I've read, so if you find something you like, give it a try. The rest doesn'

You're hypocritical, wanting the status the court bestows upon you so much, then what kind of rebellion are you even engaging in? You look down on the neighbors who at least rebel openly, while you're acting all sneaky and hypocritical—what are you even fighting for the throne with? You might as well just go to sleep. On one hand, you say the court is rotten to the core, and on the other hand, you're eagerly licking its boots.
Finally, let me share some thoughts.
I've been following this book from the beginning until now. At the start, I could feel that the author's writing skills were actually quite limited, and the main character was poorly portrayed. The protagonist's character is not very likable. As a time traveler, he doesn't have any "golden fingers." The only cheat the author gave the protagonist is his amazing bravery.
Author, could you please refrain from using ellipses in the dialogue? It's really hard to read.
The author has a particular fondness for assassination.
Conquering the world doesn't rely on superior weaponry, brave soldiers, or brilliant strategies. It relies on the despicable means of assassination! It's not that assassination didn't exist in ancient times, but which regime actually seized power through assassination? This lowers the overall quality of the book!
All I can say is that the protagonist is a very immature person.
In the latest chapter, the protagonist still wants to abolish the punishment of kinship. To be honest, I really don't see any growth in the protagonist. He's still so naive, even at his current status. Given the social norms of ancient times, if you don't set high costs for wrongdoing, do you think you can control the situation? Do you think we have surveillance cameras to catch people now?
This is truly a perfect piece. It has a touch of classical Chinese style, yet the overall narrative is concise and the pacing is very brisk. The plot and character development are well-developed and logical, with a satisfyingly straightforward narrative that builds to a series of climaxes. It's been a long time since I've written a review; this short and concise work has truly won me over. I hope my review is like applause for the author!
Bro, I was about to catch up to the latest chapter of this book, but I'm going to drop it. There are some problematic parts that I just can't accept! The reasons are as follows: When the Khitans marched south, the Fanyang army couldn't hold out and sought your help from the southeast. Sending troops to support them was fine!
The plot after becoming emperor felt too empty, and the overall feeling was oppressive. Although it was the early years of the dynasty and it was written about things that were thriving, the emotions expressed in the text had a feeling of old age. Many policies felt too presumptuous, and it was really uncomfortable to read.
Tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away
From "tasteless but a pity to throw away" to "tasteless but not a pity to throw away," it's getting increasingly frustrating.
Honestly, the author could learn from how Mike writes historical fiction. Your historical fiction just involves going to war and winning, with no mention of how many troops were deployed or how much food was allocated. Other novels offer various perspectives, including ordinary soldiers, mid-level generals, civil officials, and commoners. Do you even have that?
