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

New Book List (Updated July 2025)
I originally wanted to include older books, but since the list is limited to 50, I've made this a new list of recent releases I've enjoyed. If you read one and like it too, I'm glad we have similar tastes.
Lighthearted, Funny, Some Behind-the-Scenes Stories, and Other Gems
Mainly recommending lighthearted, fun, or funny novels, along with other great reads. I pick light, enjoyable books about people pulling strings behind the scenes. Every book here is one I like.

I'll update the list whenever I find a good book. Lightheartedness rating: three stars means reasonably light; fewer than three stars means t
A Veteran Reader's Bookshelf
I started reading novels in 1996, so it's been over twenty years now. I think I have a decent eye for books, so I'll recommend anything that catches my fancy. Hope you enjoy them 😊 I generally don't recommend very old or famous books, since that doesn't help veteran readers find something new.

Why do so many people like divinity? You, a time traveler, became divinity in the past. I think you are just crazy. Every time I read it, there are a few people who say that they are not divinity. I am speechless.

A work by a fujoshi author with good writing skills
The writing is quite good, and there are no problems except that the author is suspected of being a rotten girl and likes to write plots that cater to gays 😅 What the hell is the reason for putting this thing on a male channel? Author, you write well in a female channel, why are you here? Are female videos so unprofitable? 🤔
Stop looking,
The protagonist is Yi Xiaochuan, who traveled through time and was still a dog
This kind of novels are all the same. They cannot escape the original history. Logically speaking, the protagonist has changed so much, so he should not follow the history, and the original characters should not appear. However, most, no, it should be said that all authors do not have the ability to create new history. For the sake of laziness, they still write according to the original history, which is particularly boring. For example, the founder of this genre in the novel should be the one who founded the family when King Wu conquered Zhou. So much has changed, and only It was the Han Dynasty with a different name, and finally it was returned to the history of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shi still appeared, and this book is the same. Although there are a few more Chinese countries outside, they are like garnishes on the meal. Although it adds flavor, the protagonist is still the country in the Central Plains. No matter how much Hepizi has changed, and how chaotic the Central Plains is outside, the Han Dynasty still follows history, and the original characters still appear, which is particularly boring. Once this kind of novel is turned back to the original history, it will not be readable.
Content personal evaluation
The protagonist has been away from the novel for too long. I don't know if the author wants to write a group portrait or a historical article. The protagonist basically only appears once in dozens of chapters. The subsequent characters basically have no interaction with the communication between Gongzi Chao and Ximen Bao in the early stage. Most of the subsequent characters only communicate with the protagonist for one or two sentences and then end. The content is too missing. I read the group portrait. Not many, I don't know if this is the case for everyone, but after Ying Zheng came to the throne, I basically skipped it I don't know whether it was the original intention or I just couldn't control it. In the early stage, everything was written around the protagonist. For example, in order to catch up with the golden finger, he participated in the transformation of Ye City. Later, it was suddenly written with historical figures. Historical figures experienced certain things. Suddenly I meet the protagonist, and then I have to do whatever I want to do, such as Ying Zheng, Shang Yang, Mencius and Zhuang Zhou, etc. It is a bit confusing for the novel (if you just want to read a historical article or a group portrait article, I didn't say it) Another problem is that if you write a group portrait article, the group characters cannot be determined and they keep changing. , I can understand this, but many characters appear very abruptly, and a character is suddenly inserted in order to connect the plot, or there is not much description or plot description for some characters that may appear later, such as Liu Bei and Ying Zheng (I am not Ying Chui, just because those are the only characters that novices in history know or are famous for)
Brother, the development direction is wrong!
I believe most people are attracted by the novel story at the beginning! I think what everyone wants to see is your exploration of the golden finger ability, and even the gradual establishment of the immortal system! You'd better just write history, and the pig's feet will be based on historical development. What's the point? Do you spend money to read history books?
Qin Shihuang is very classic. The first half of the story is about "brilliant talents and great strategies", and the second half is about "failing emperor". Qin Shihuang can be seen as the culmination of monarchs under the Shang monarchy system. He did not treat the people as human beings, wasted the people's power at will, and treated people as tools. The greatest luck of Qin Shihuang is that he died soon, otherwise, he would also be the king of the country's subjugation. (Those who say that Qin Shihuang dare not rebel until Qin Shihuang dies, my evaluation is that he will die anyway, so why won't they rebel?)
Advancing but not advancing, retreating but not retreating, it can be called useless
As a time-traveler, he has become a god with his own laws, but he listens to the words of an "ancient man" Ximen Bao and does not interfere with the development of the world. Then why do you write about this time-traveler? You don't have to develop a religious civilization dominated by gods, and you don't have to interfere in the Warring States Period, but wouldn't it be good to set up a school to guide the development of Zhuxia civilization? And since he will take the initiative to teach Liu Jiao, the "King of Chu" later, why did he only play with Ying Zheng in the front? Instead of teaching him some knowledge about how to get along with others? Either intervene in the world effectively, or stay away from the world, and don't interfere in anything. What's the meaning of this kind of advance but not advance, retreat but not retreat, the two hundred years of Warring States and history are actually the same?
,,,,☝️ In my opinion, many things are just a matter of grabbing a name. Did he really do it? With a certain country, they register their names first and wait for others to achieve important things. It is rare that they have the same purpose. On the other hand, we have to say that the other places are conquered by the old officials of the Six Nations and cannot control the local areas. On the other hand, we have to say that within fifteen years, a series of policies, unified language, and so on will be implemented in the same track and in the same text.
