Great Books Are Meant to Be Shared
Good books are meant to be shared. I’m passing along the gems I’ve found so fellow readers can enjoy them too. Lately I’ve been really into stories about little ones growing up. If you know any books where the protagonist has a long childhood to explore, please recommend them! Beastfolk cubs, human dumplings, anything like that. Childhood is so adorable, so why rush to make them grow up? It’s so boring. But if you’re recommending a story about a toddler who’s already competing for favor and fac
Find a Great Read Around the Corner, Find a Kindred Spirit Along the Way
These are all books I like. If you’re out of things to read, give them a try. I don’t recommend books with too few words. If you find something you like, please give the list a thumbs-up so I know how many people share my taste. Books I’ve lost track of: 1. Illustrated Compendium of a Hundred Ghosts and Monsters (Paper-Skinned Frog) 2. I’m Really a Big Star 3. Infinite Terror: The Pursuit 4. The Gateway to Technology 5. The World of Movies Historical reading list (recommended a few years ago): 1
Updated Reading List: Saving the Classics, Thanks, Everyone 🌸
I recommend these because I like them. The first ten are what I have been reading recently.
Novels Without Heroines or Romance
All the books on this list have no female lead and no romance pairing. Your mileage may vary. I'll remove ongoing novels if they introduce romance.
Novels I Like with No Female Lead or Just One
I'll note whether a book has no female lead or a single female lead, along with any major dealbreakers. I removed Late Ming and The Ming Dynasty's Benefactor because they kept getting flagged for supposedly prohibited words and wouldn't pass review. Neither is strictly a no-female-lead story, though. The Ming Dynasty's Benefactor is good and basically has no female lead; I really like it. Both male leads in Late Ming end up with more than one woman, so skip it if that's a dealbreaker. I also rec

Everything except Western fantasy, and I've reread most of these at least twice.
Feasts for an Omnivorous Reader
I read every genre. Give me originality, imagination, intensity, and classics. Serious, funny, witty, satirical, or absurd, it doesn't matter, as long as there's some brains behind it!
Personal Tastes, Niche Picks
I personally prefer fresh, original concepts. The writing matters less to me than a premise that makes me sit up and take notice, or a world I’ve never seen before.
No Idiotic Novice-Protagonist Stories, No Harem or Just One Love Interest
I like smart, logical, well-planned wish-fulfillment stories. No worlds where everyone is an idiot, no womanizers, and no clueless protagonists, but I don't want dark protagonists either. Mostly older books. I'll note it when a female lead has a substantial role; normally, female leads are little more than extras. Because of the order in which books were added, the highly rated ones are actually toward the end. Try reading from the bottom up. Ratings are subjective and for reference only. Sugges

Historical Novels I've Read
My main list: Books We've Followed Over the Years (general recommendations and detailed reviews) My secondary list: The Game Novels I've Read Historical fiction is another genre I really love. You can learn a lot from it and keep having fun showing off your knowledge ¬_¬｀ My favorite eras are the Three Kingdoms and the Ming dynasty. I seriously dislike the Qing dynasty òᆺó, so I hardly ever read about it. There are a few books I consider historical fiction that are really well written, but I c
A Female Reader in the Men’s Fiction Section: Great Plots Are What Matter
I'm a female reader in the male-oriented fiction section, so my first requirement is no harem. To me, that means having more than one female lead or flirting with various women. Those are an instant pass. Second, the plot has to be good; don't force in excitement just for the sake of it. Third, the writing has to be decent, or I can't keep reading. Fourth, no brainless fluff: the story needs logic. I haven't figured out a fifth yet... >O<

This book actually started writing in 2007, when I was in the fourth grade of elementary school. I was so addicted to it that I couldn't help myself, and I didn't hesitate to be spanked until my butt blossomed... I kept reading pirated articles. Today, eleven years later, I joined the job and paid the original fee. It is a book that shaped my world view. Although my political views changed many times later, it inspired my thinking about the world, society and politics. Thank you very much, author!
It's a pretty good book, written in 2007. It's not much better than what some of the current historical masters have written, and it's not out of date with today's eyes. Very nice
The protagonist is hypocritical and cowardly. When he saw the Jin army, he was so scared that he wanted to run away. Later, he forced himself to be rational before going to the city gate to watch the battle. I think it would be understandable if he were an ordinary man, but the author set him as an official of the Republic... Ah, so is the male protagonist the kind of official of the Republic who needs Shuanggui in the name of the people?
The description is delicate and very real. There is no YY. It is really well written! I searched them one by one from the history with the most recommendation votes, and found out that this one is the one I like best. The others have either been read or are YY. Really good! Just look at it! I have read the book for many years, it is really good! Very touching! The protagonist is very real and very immersive!
How can there be no book reviews for such a good book?
It's a great book, but it's a pity that there won't be a finished copy later!
I haven't read it yet. It's 790,000 words long. Can anyone who has finished it tell me whether it's a complete story or a bad one?
The writing is indeed good, but the writing is too realistic. The wrist can be realistic because it is to realize the idealistic dream. But the protagonist's moral character is not perfect, and he seems to be a real emperor emotionally, which shattered my idealistic dream.
It's really good. I'm an experienced author. The books he wrote are all good, but there are too many eunuchs. It's a pity.
I looked over and saw five eunuchs
