Ongoing Novels Recommended by a Veteran Reader
I'm recommending serialized books I'm following, as much as I can. I'm afraid they'll get dropped if I don't. No fixed genre. I read a bit of everything. The only categories I don't read much are paranormal and science fiction, so those probably won't appear here. My ratings take into account the writing's flow, how broad the appeal is (niche genres like fanfiction may lose a few points), the genre, and whether the story brings something new. But every book on this list is worth checking out, ev

Why are so many people suddenly praising Wu Zetian?
Wu Zetian is indeed above average in history, but to claim she was stronger than Emperor Taizong (Li Er) seems like a sarcastic and derogatory statement.
The Xuanwu Gate Incident was really not difficult.
By the time of Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin had been the Commander-in-Chief of the Chang'an Military Region for almost two years, and he was also the Commander of the Imperial Palace Guard. Li Jing had been working under Li Shimin since the first year of the Wude era, and by the seventh year of Wude, when he was the Governor of Yangzhou, all the grain and supplies from Jiangnan were being…

How to ensure the continuation of the Tang Dynasty? It's simple. I'll say something no one wants to hear: not only the Tang Dynasty, but also the Han and Ming Dynasties, if they wanted to continue, they should follow the Qing Dynasty's methods. Textbooks say the Qing Dynasty was the most prosperous feudal dynasty; this statement is not without merit.
If the protagonist doesn't become emperor, then he will definitely undertake a comprehensive reform to limit the emperor's power. Simply copying later technologies and making minor reforms is insufficient. For a nation to generate numerous original inventions, it must undergo systemic changes in its ideological foundation, political structure, legal system, and social forces.
Having read so many novels over the years, I've always had a question, especially in historical fiction: why does an ordinary modern person suddenly become an all-rounder in ancient times? I can understand climbing the technological ladder and making soap, gunpowder, printing, and salt production, but who is Emperor Taizong of Tang?
I'm wondering about the author's choice of title. What pitfalls does Li Er need to avoid? Is his life not perfect enough?
Upstairs, don't mislead the younger generation.
Let me make it clear first, I wasn't originally planning to write this, but someone naively told me to read history books, but he hadn't actually read any. He kept quoting from the *Tang Shu* (History of the Tang Dynasty), which is completely different from what he said. His claim of quoting from the *Tang Shu* is purely based on his own imagination.
Speechless 😑 It was free before it was listed, why is it charging now? Does anyone know why? 🙂🙂
Li Shimin was truly a man of misfortune; at the age of 27, his brother was killed, and his father was placed under house arrest.
