Books I Personally Enjoy
In my opinion, if a book is well written and the author puts their heart into it, it's bound to be good. Whether it gets popular is another matter. (Some readers have asked why so many of the books I recommend haven't gone premium. The thing is, plenty of books start out with great premises and plots, but as they go on the characters or power scaling fall apart, or the story gets too dull to continue. For all sorts of reasons, I end up disliking them and don't recommend them. I'm picky about wh

Universal Talent: Twitchy Hands Me: Adding books to this list seems to increase their chance of being abandoned by 75%. So be it: I hereby dub myself the 'Abandoned Book Cultivator.' Temporarily 'Out of Contact' A lot of books on my bookshelf have gone missing. I already used Qidian less than other sites, and now I use it even less. What a shame. They're all apprentices, which is hilarious. I almost never see novices. Usually I only read the first few dozen chapters to get inspiration. I can't e

I haven't watched it yet, but Huang Chao's biggest impact was nearly wiping out clans, breaking their monopoly and opening up avenues for upward mobility for commoners. If relatively peaceful methods had been used, the clan power wouldn't have been significantly diminished, and the revolution wouldn't have been thorough. Just like India, which didn't break free and rebuild, its subsequent development faced significant obstacles!
Did Sun Wukong really exist? Did Huang Chao really use a giant stone to crush people in history? Probably not. All the historical figures we recount are essentially products of our current needs; the real Huang Chao is irrelevant to modern people.
First of all, I've never been an author, but I want to say that writing 100 chapters a day is very difficult. Is that right? It's not that I'm being unreasonable; after all, I said at the beginning that I didn't... I've worked as an author.
So far, the herb...
In just over ten chapters, the protagonist's experiences and schemes in Chang'an are clearly and thoroughly explained. If other struggling or renowned authors were to write this, this amount of content would be enough to get the book published.
Huang Chao burned the sky
Huang Chao: This was never what I wanted. I never intended to launch an attack with my Hundred Sons Army. Together we created a golden age. But you betrayed me, betrayed all of us. You indulged those corrupt officials and lied to your ministers. The Tang Dynasty has only one chance to be revived. If you don't seize it, then let me do it!
I've heard it said that the legitimacy of an emperor's rule depends on whether he served as an official in the previous dynasty. If an emperor received a salary from the previous dynasty and then overthrew it, he might be criticized by a small group of people.
Huang Chao's role in history can be described as having committed crimes in the present but contributing greatly for future generations; he is irreplaceable in the entire history of China. Many believe that without Huang Chao, we would be little different from India today, as he completely broke the monopoly of knowledge and class.
I read twenty chapters in one go, here are my thoughts.
I read twenty chapters in one go, and here are my thoughts. First, the author's entry point is ingenious, as seen in the opening. The contrast between the notorious rebel Huang Chao and the newcomer to officialdom is quite interesting and clever. It's clear the author has carefully designed this.
I could hack my way through Chang'an for three days, and still not finish down a single street. With a single stroke of their pen, corpses littered both banks of the Yellow River.
Historical records state that Huang Chao ate human flesh (the exact amount is unclear, whether it's from official or unofficial histories). This seems highly improbable; while his lower-ranking subordinates might have done so, how could Huang Chao, as the leader, have done so?
