Red Chamber Novels I’ve Enjoyed
2026.6.1 1. Most Dream of the Red Chamber fan fiction falls under alternate history, but it's fundamentally different from conventional historical fiction. The unique charm of these stories lies in the lives of the women in the garden. If a book uses the title Dream of the Red Chamber but ignores the fates of the women throughout, then the words "Red Chamber" in the title are meaningless. If it's just a historical novel wearing a Red Chamber disguise, it would be better to write straight-up hist

It feels like they're forcibly linking themselves to the Jia family, and everything they're involved in isn't theirs.
I came here daily for commentary. The writing is alright, but the book elevates the protagonist's status too much at the beginning, leaving little room for further development. It also over-glores over the characters like Jinchai; frankly, they're destined to be slaves while acting like princesses. This feels like a continuation of the style found in other Dream of the Red Chamber novels. However, there are still few chapters available, so I look forward to seeing it improve.
I don't understand why the author left a large group of former dynasty concubines in the palace. They're all nameless and faceless, and too much of that kind of morbid humor gets tiresome.
Don't give me any excuse about being afraid of the gods and then treating the Jia family well. You're the emperor now, you've killed so many people, why would you be afraid of the gods?
The biggest contradiction, or rather the most problematic aspect, of this book
This is why I would vehemently criticize anyone who writes a Dream of the Red Chamber fanfiction if it were historical fiction! The biggest contradiction, or rather the worst point, of this book is that it sets its sights too high! At first, I thought that Liu Bang or Zhu Yuanzhang would come to visit the Dream of the Red Chamber.
Ugh, please don't do anything like abolishing modern thought or anything like that, I'm really fed up.
Make Lin Daiyu a concubine, castrate Jia Baoyu, and have him serve the Jade Consort. 😜
A 5-day siege; 30 chapters completed.
I really didn't understand the author's choice of topic.
After reading a few chapters, I can say that the author's writing style is indeed quite good, but to be honest, the subject matter is really poor. At first glance, I had no idea how to continue writing. In "Dream of the Red Chamber," a rebellion leads to the emperor; how do you write about the female protagonist? Turn the garden into a harem?
The author didn't need to write that any random hairpin or maid was prettier than all the palace maids; it felt a bit out of place. The plot can be handled using the psychology of collecting stamps after learning the identity, possessiveness, and wanting to try it.
