A Reading Slump Is the Norm

Guess I'll need an axe. 2021: Stepped in a pile of crap in real life during the first lunar month. Sigh, at least the world of web novels is safe. 2021: Stay safe.

Picking Pearls from the Sands of the Ganges
This list is simply a collection of stories I like. They do not even have to be complete, as long as they have something that shines. Though I have grown older in years without gaining much wisdom, I have made peace with myself. Because those who are alive still have to keep moving forward. Sometimes I think about the outlines of stories I would like to write, but my prose is poor and I have no time to write them. It is a great regret.

Notes on Finding Books [Infinite Worlds | Alternate History | Transmigration | Ruthless Protagonists]
This list features works I've personally selected for their solid prose and excellent concepts. I prefer alternate history, transmigration and farming, infinite adventures, and stories about pulling strings behind the scenes. I love tales of strategic maneuvering, long-term schemes, and many lives caught up in the game. I've chosen works with clever ideas and sound logic. Open a book in your spare time and quietly watch its world erupt into turmoil.

The essence of a miraculous herb!
This book is one of the best historical articles I've read in recent years! First of all, the article flows smoothly and naturally, using plain language where appropriate and literary language where appropriate, without being overly pedantic or affected, nor too simplistic or lacking in charm.
What mistakes are common in historical novels? Before the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was not addressed as "Huangshang" (). During the Song Dynasty, he was often addressed as "Guanjia" (). Other dynasties mostly addressed him as "Bixia" (). From the Ming Dynasty onwards, the emperor was occasionally addressed as "Huangshang," but most of the time he was addressed as "Bixia.
If I were the author…
Immerse yourself in the author's role and combine your own perspective to make a bold prediction about the future situation. I. A review of the various forces. 1. Huang Chao's army. The role of Huang Chao's army is as follows: (1) Entering Chang'an, it undermined the prestige of the Tang court and laid the groundwork for the regional warlord structure after the suppression of Huang Chao's army.
It's well-written, but...
I feel like he should be like Shao Yong, taking all the wives and daughters of his enemies. Right now, Zhao Da is still a pure, innocent girl; why be so naive?
The main character's personality needs to be maintained.
Throughout the story, the protagonist addresses everyone he meets, regardless of familiarity or rank, always addressing them as "Old Yang," "Old Song," or "Old Han" upon first meeting, and frequently hugging or patting them on the shoulder or neck.
This historical novel, set in the late Tang Dynasty, is meticulously researched, demonstrating the author's thorough investigation. However, this doesn't mean it's written in a rigid or old-fashioned style. On the contrary, it's a compelling ensemble piece, depicting the customs and traditions of the era, as well as the struggles and calculations of ordinary people. The characters are vividly portrayed, making it a worthwhile read.
Holy crap, it's the first year of the Qianfu era! The protagonist needs to hurry and recruit Zhang Hui, otherwise the swine fever will fall into their laps in a few years.
Heroic spirit is there, but the forced reduction of intelligence and the overestimation of Zhu Wen and Li Keyong's abilities are misguided. The north, plagued by years of war, is already impoverished and unable to support a large, elite army. A protracted war would only further deplete both civilian and military resources. What are clearly disloyal, ragtag troops are portrayed by Zhu Wen as fiercely loyal elites.
Ha ha ha ha
I think I've figured it out. The military and political writing is alright, but when it comes to pretentious stuff and romance, it gets incredibly low-quality; I almost thought it was written by two different people. However, the flaws don't detract from the overall quality; it's still quite enjoyable most of the time.
The recent chapters have been overly sentimental, it's so cringeworthy it's almost painful. Seeing the protagonist speak gives me goosebumps; it has that cheesy, old-fashioned feel of a propaganda film from the last century.
