A Ten-Year Veteran Reader, Mostly Recommending Historical Fiction ⭐🌙☀
I mainly recommend traditional historical novels. There really aren't many worth reading these days. This list has both new and old books: five stars means a must-read, four stars means don't miss it, and three stars means it depends on your taste. I only recommend books I've read. P.S. I'll take a look at promotional submissions when I have time and recommend the ones I like.

A Decade-Old Book Nook
(One flaw of mine: once I catch up to the latest chapter, I start looking for other books and usually never go back to the ones I was following :) I've been reading for ten years, and I've come across many classics and great books that I really like. There's a bit of everything here, so give them a try: excellent, really good, good, or decent. (Every book is a classic: fun, imaginative, and original, without dumb jokes or characters suddenly losing IQ, except for one where the protagonist has a
Historical Turmoil and Power Struggles, Plus Showbiz, Both Chinese and Foreign. Finished Stories Rarely Put the Protagonist Through the Wringer.
History, single-person transmigration, wars for supremacy in troubled times, no System. For Chinese history, I mainly recommend the Warring States, the end of the Qin, the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the end of the Sui, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the late Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing. The military is the main focus. The protagonist generally takes charge, and most start from humble beginnings. A few entertainment novels I personally think are well written, mainly a

Seeing the protagonist look down on Liu Bang, saying Liu Bang was ambitious but lacked talent and pragmatism, yet he himself was just a lazy bum with little ambition and no talent, only brute strength, and in the end, Liu Bang still managed to sleep with the woman he loved while he stood by, acting crazy and incompetent... What kind of ambition is that? Liu Bang had ambition, which is why people were willing to follow him, and yet you still look down on him... 😤😤
The author's writing is excellent. When I saw this book, I was instantly captivated. As a long-time bookworm on Qidian, I have to say that this book is outstanding among historical fiction. However, when I saw that Lü Zhi married Liu Bang, I was instantly shocked and felt extremely uncomfortable. After years of lying low, I suddenly came out of the shadows.
The protagonist is indeed quite pathetic. Is Lü Zhi really that great? He's still obsessed with her, and yet he wants to achieve great things. Knowing what kind of person she is, he still clings to her, meaning he should be prepared to marry her for life. This is just pathetic. Does he think every beautiful woman is his? Furthermore, Lü Zhi never said she liked him, yet he thinks he's so great, looking down on Liu Bang. What does he have to offer? He can't even find his place.
What kind of writing is this? It forces conflict, forcibly suppresses and belittles Liu Bang, portraying him as utterly worthless. The romance is extremely poorly written, inexplicable, and without any foreshadowing. It even tries to include a cuckoldry story.
The worst part is that the First Emperor was murdered; it's unacceptable. 😡😡😡
I checked the comments and found it's a cuckold story, so I'm not reading it.
What's even more disgusting is that the author forcibly added a father to the protagonist, who picked up a slave. When the protagonist was about to go out, his mother looked at the slave with kind eyes and said, "Since you're always going out, why don't you leave him here?" In the end, the protagonist's mother adopted the slave as her son, and after the country was established, the slave was made a king!
Honestly, I think the protagonist is not as good as Liu Bang.
Anyone who can finish reading this novel while wearing a green hat is amazing. Who can stand an old, ugly, disgusting man covered in sores * with the woman they love?
My goodness, is the Lü family woman really necessary? Isn't Yu Ji better? Besides, Yu Ji has a famous story in history called "Farewell My Concubine," she's far superior to that Lü family woman! Aren't you worried about future harem conflicts? You're just bored and looking for trouble.
