No protagonists who are eunuchs! No eunuchs! No eunuchs!! Important things have to be said three times. Unless the book is genuinely great and exciting! Also, a warning to readers: there are a lot of weird people in the chapter comments. Don’t let them influence you. If you think the book is good, that’s what matters. If you want to promote a book, please read the description carefully. It should preferably have more than 100,000 words. Thanks.

My Personal Reading List
Books I'm interested in
Level-Up Stories with a Little Spark
A collection of novels with a few real bright spots. The selection is varied, including showbiz, urban fiction, xianxia, and fan fiction. At heart, though, these are all progression stories, where characters advance one step at a time, with a greater emphasis on logical plots. If you'd rather not switch off your brain before reading, give these a try.

[Recently Finished and Currently Following] Novel Recommendations
Welcome to Yuan Qichuan's reading list! 😄 There are countless novels on Qidian, but only a handful are truly enjoyable: the ones you can patiently keep reading, and that pull you in so completely you forget the time and skip meals. The point of this list is to help readers searching for something to read find their way. Of course, everyone has different tastes, so feel free to move along if these aren't your thing. My previous list had reached its 100-book limit, so here I'll review novels I'v
Personal Book List: A Preference for Historical and Fanfiction Novels
(Ratings may change) Five stars: Top-tier favorites. I read them every day and give them priority. Four stars: Following. I keep up with ongoing stories, though sometimes with breaks. Three stars: Letting them build up. They haven't quite hooked me, so I'll read them later. Two stars: On hold. Not great, but not bad enough to drop. One star: A shame. I liked them, but they started strong and fizzled out, or were abandoned. So sometimes even a one-star book can be pretty good.
Historical Fiction Reading List, Primarily History
Mostly historical fiction. The scale goes up to ten stars, but even a one-star book is worth a look.

This is a personal list, powered by love, featuring new releases and ongoing novels. Completed novels will be removed after a while. Please follow and save the list. Lately I've been seeing more fantasy stories about dragons, and finding more interesting books. There have also been more COC steampunk novels lately.

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.
A 20-Year Veteran Reader’s Take on Historical Fiction
I only review books I've read, judging them on four aspects: writing, imagination, logic, and how satisfying they are. Ratings are “Historic,” “Readable,” “Pure Fun,” and “God-Tier.” A book that excels in all four is God-Tier, and so on.
A Reasonable Reader's Picks: The Logic Should Mostly Hold Up, with a Bit of Everything
I've been an avid reader for almost ten years, so my tastes are pretty varied. I recommend books for readers who want something beyond simplistic fiction: fewer tired tropes, fewer saintly characters, and fewer mindless face-slapping scenes. I also like books with relatable protagonists. More precisely, these characters act in ways that feel human. They can be good or bad, but their choices have to make sense. P.S. Please save and like the list so I can see what you enjoy. The list has reached

How to support MaiKe
When a new book is released, the first thing to do is to read it. This determines the recommendation position and exposure. It is the most important thing. It is recommended to read the latest chapter every day, which only takes about one minute. Secondly, rewards and monthly passes are also very useful. They will be higher on various lists and will be seen by more people. It is recommended to reward characters (that is, giving gifts to characters), because the author of a reward book and a character reward have the same profit, but you can add star points to the character. If you have more star points, you will have various benefits, such as designing portraits from Qidian, birthday events, card activities, Qidian coins... Especially if the reward is less than 10,000 points per time, Qidian now only rewards 10,000 points to get a monthly pass, so tipping to characters has the greatest benefits. Thirdly, when everyone is reading the book, this chapter says that it is very useful to like it in the book circle. This chapter says that if there are more than ten likes, achievement points will be added. If the amount is enough, the work will be upgraded to stars, and you can enter the Hall of Masters. You will get some coins, fan titles, monthly passes... Likes and replies in the book circle will add contribution points, and if the level reaches level 4 or above, there will be some coin benefits. Finally, turn to the end every day and compare your feelings for the characters. If you can write, you can write fan fiction, and if you can draw, you can draw fan pictures. This will add star value to the character. Temporarily
This book has surpassed the previous two books in the early stage
Historical novels should never be the same. Readers should support authors who dare to break through themselves. In the first two books, there is no sympathy between the lower-class characters, no real right-hand man, and no focus on people's livelihood. It seems that all historical novels should start from a rigid warrior, rather than a sea of living people of all kinds. The real background of Lord of Mysteries is the symphony of the steam age, not just a potion system, nor a fantasy novel in the traditional sense. The background of today's Beiwang Jiangshan is by no means a simple uprising and hegemony, but the real life of the people at the bottom and the bottom structure of society. In summary, this book has a more comprehensive and in-depth foundation for development, and is not just about traditional military building, political planning, and farming and doing business. Therefore, this book does not follow the same old path of fast-paced competition for hegemony. It is a manifestation of the author's courage to innovate. I hope readers will bear with me. In this fast-paced era, the author is still willing to use delicate brushwork to describe various small characters at the bottom, which is an excellent embodiment of online writing. Although it is inevitable to avoid the common problem of Internet articles: low word count, it is still not easy. I hope that the times will give the author more tolerance in writing.
Looking north to the country
The sun is shining brightly. Climb Mount Xisai and look at the Pavilion in the north, looking at China in the north. I wonder if Shao Thief had been here when he was writing this book... What a coincidence You will see the North Watch Pavilion when you climb the mountain Looking north to Shenzhou, you will see Hengpi when you look back: Such mountains and rivers The residual snow in Xisai The river is rushing from the west, The river here is narrow, passing through the rocks Panorama Going eastward through Xisai, the river is wide and suddenly bright The ruins of the ancient fort, imitated by today's people The viewing platform has a good scenery Looking north at the river and mountains
Congratulations to Wanding! Mai Ke has really stood up.
Looking back on the late Tang Dynasty, I wrote it until it was almost finished and then it got thousands of orders. In the historical district, good books and good authors cannot be buried. Keep up the good work. Why don't you celebrate the million orders? No more updates?🤓🤓🤓

Oppose the NTR behavior of seizing women and stealing people. Marriage fidelity and respect for other people's families are basic morals. Influential works should not use NTR that seizes women and steals people as a selling point
While affirming the author's creative talent, I would like to express some uneasiness about the recurring "NTR" plot in the work. Whether it is the protagonist "stealing" a married woman who is in love, or the use of power and violence to "conquer" other people's partners, these two settings are essentially trampling on marital loyalty and materializing other people's personalities and emotions. We condemn cheating and respect marriage contracts in reality, but why do we cheer similar behaviors in fictional works? This may be because we subconsciously regard the virtual world as a moral "exempt zone." But morality should not be double-standard - if we agree that loyalty is beautiful, we should not portray breaking loyalty as a "charm" in stories; if we are opposed to bullying in reality, we should not glorify "conquering the love of others" as a heroic narrative in fiction.
Check-in building
Come on, come on, gather your troops quickly, don't make any noise and cause trouble, the school grounds are paying today, so you don't need to bring armored troops!
At the end of the book, it is still number one in the history area.
It is a hundred times better than those historical novels that are full of loopholes and poisonous. Although the pace is much slower than that book, and it is not as exciting as that book, historical novels that respect logic are good books. To read such mindless and refreshing historical novels, I might as well read fantasy By the way, I have been poisoned by that author several times.
