Mainly Recommending Lesser-Known Historical Periods
This list focuses on stories from lesser-known historical periods, including the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the Qin and Han dynasties, the Jin, Northern and Southern dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the transition from the Yuan to the Ming, and foreign history. I'll carefully select books with good writing and compelling stories to recommend. Those with especially original premises and strong writing will get extra attention. These are books that aren't dumbed
No More Idiot Plots: Stories with Tight, Well-Crafted Plots
A breath of fresh air amid all the brain-dead wish fulfillment, and a godsend for anyone with OCD. When I first started reading web novels, I quite liked simple, fluffy stories. Now, whenever I see the titles of books by those so-called great authors, I feel like throwing up my last meal. The books on this list have excellent prose and logic, at least on par with the average print novel (judging by books published before 2010). Most are titles I've accumulated over more than ten years of readi

Books I Like
Everyone has their own tastes. After more than ten years as a bookworm, I wanted to share some books I love. It's a shame many classics are no longer available, like The Struggles of a Little Townsman and The Taoist in Jin Yong's World. I'll leave out some books I liked back then but that feel dated now.

A Veteran Reader’s Collection of Carefully Selected Gems
I'm a longtime reader, and I look for polished writing, coherent stories, protagonists who aren't too twisted, supporting characters who aren't idiots, schemes that aren't immediately obvious, and, ideally, some unexpected twists. I prefer books that don't put the protagonist through too much misery, and whose worldbuilding holds together. Bonus points if the story leaves you with something to think about. That should make for a good book, right? Qidian has countless great stories, and too many

I have never found any fictional novel that surpasses this one
From UnionPay's advertisement – "Datang's last transfer"
Many book friends feel that reading the book will cause drama. That's because these book friends don't understand history. If you read the history books and then read this article, you will feel that this is a magical book. First, the Anxi Protectorate was trapped in the Western Regions alone for more than sixty years. The last group of gray-haired veterans fought hard at the lonely fort in Broken Leaf City. This is real history and is not fabricated. Secondly, the moral values of the Ming Dynasty or the Song Dynasty cannot be substituted into this book. (I thought I could understand this book after reading two palace battles or ancient political novels.) The late Tang Dynasty. The period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was a special period in which rituals and music collapsed. There was no king, no heart, and no ministers with virtue. From Shi Jingtang, Li Cunxun. These foreigners with long noses and blue eyes can ascend to the throne. The original social environment can be seen if the world does not regard Hu and Han as righteous and clear. At that time, most of the monarchs of the ten countries were of the Hu species (look at what the Russians from Xinjiang looked like). At that time, the society was in war for many years, and the social and cultural level declined as a whole. (The decline in cultural level means the decline in moral level.) Second: The Hu emperor deliberately downplayed the great nationalism. (Now we see, It was ridiculous to see a Caucasian face sitting under a dragon chair and a bright plaque. But in the society at that time, with weapons and decades of brainwashing education, people at that time thought it was as normal as eating and drinking.) Third point: Only when the material level is satisfied will there be the need for spiritual civilization. In the era where the protagonist lives, the land of the Northern Central Plains is constantly at war, and the people are struggling to survive. The people have no righteousness. However, in the book, the war in the south affected less areas and instead the poems, books, rituals and music were passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, in fact, the Central Plains had more realist worries about the Anxi Tang army coming from the west (whether they would burn, kill, loot, and enslave the people), but there were no moral worries (whether they were orthodox Han people). From the Anshi Rebellion to the establishment of the Song Dynasty, there were hundreds of years of turmoil. As Bai Juyi said in his poem, there were no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, and barren bones were exposed in the wild. It is not an exaggeration to say that only tens of millions of people were killed out of a population of tens of millions. It was an age of cannibalism. It was an era with no moral bottom line. (The father has no loyalty to teach his son, the family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the family has been in the family for six generations. Does your family nunnery know loyalty?) Therefore, the argument that there is no reason to enter the Central Plains if you are not a minister, and it will be contradicted by others, is simply untenable. Besides, the Anxi Tang Army established itself as General Tiance (the title that Li Shimin held before he became emperor) and established himself as king, but before the Tiance Army became independent. The social background at that time. Tiancejun is not the first to stand on his own. Therefore, as long as Tiance does not proclaim himself emperor. The social impact will not be too great. (Only in the Western Han and Ming Dynasties, there is a tradition that people with different surnames cannot be kings)
The protagonist's obsession is too wishful thinking
I saw the protagonist Jian Tian Ce Datang and couldn't stand it anymore. The following is a personal evaluation. This book has more than enough passion but not enough realism. Li Congke conferred the title of Emperor of the Central Plains on Zhang Mai, but Zhang Mai felt that Li Congke had no talent and only wanted to be his younger brother, which was really wishful thinking. Zhang Mai's long-term goal must be to aspire to the Central Plains, but he did not surrender to the central dynasty, but established his own country in the Western Regions and proclaimed himself king. Is this because he was afraid that the people of the Central Plains did not know that the protagonist did not understand etiquette and was crowned as a monkey? Zhang Mai's promotion of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions moved the people of the Western Regions and readers at best. Do the people of the Central Plains know who you are? What China talks about is legitimate. No matter how much you try to get it in the Later Tang Dynasty, it is still orthodox. The jade seal passed down to the country was in the hands of Li Congke. It's not just 8 lines as you think. You Zhang Mai think you are the old one. If you want to compete with the central orthodoxy, the people in the Central Plains will only think that you are a barbarian pretending to be the name of the Tang Dynasty. Only by surrendering to the Later Tang Dynasty can one express his attachment to the Central Plains and become a king, and can he truly become a member of the Chinese circle. This is caused by the special geography of the Western Regions. When Shi Jingtang and Hou Tang fought, you didn't surrender. How dare Li Congke ask you for help? So what's the difference between him and Shi Jingtang? If a foreigner like Li Cunxu could take over the central government, who would not first become a minister and then be qualified to join the imperial court? In a word, the Tang Dynasty has long since died. Except for the protagonist and readers, no one in the Central Plains will regard "reviving the Tang Dynasty" as the moral high ground. What's more, Zhang Mai is a "barbarian" in the Western Regions. It is just wishful thinking and the name is not justified.
It has been n years since I finished this book, and my blood is not yet cold.
I gave up after reading the first chapter. In the end, the author said that if you don't want to climb the technology tree, then you can make a hairy time travel. I might as well watch martial arts cultivating immortality. Did you travel back to the Tang Dynasty from the Qing Dynasty?
Alas, the more I read, the more ridiculous I feel. It is very difficult to write about the senior staff of a regime, let alone several regimes, and the core of it is the leader's ability. Let's not talk about the abilities of the protagonist who traveled through the past. Let's just say that his abilities after experiencing these experiences are similar to those of Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong in history. Even Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong thought twice before they attacked the Khitan in the north. Where did the protagonist have the capital to dare to attack the Khitan without detailed planning and unification of the north? Chai Rong started the Northern Expedition after crippled the Southern Tang and Hou Shu! Zhao Kuangyin went from the south to the north. Zhao Kuangyin started from the Chenqiao Mutiny to the moment of Zhao Kuangyin's death. These more than ten years were uninterrupted military operations. Zhao Kuangyin basically never took a break. Why not make a northern expedition? At that time, the Khitan was already an extremely stable regime, and it was far from a sudden surprise. The Jue and the Xiongnu can be crippled in one or two battles, and the protagonist's own advantages as a time traveler have almost never been used. How can you fight the Khitan? It makes people feel incredible that the entire plot relies on miracles and bravery to win. This is the atmosphere of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms! Zhao Guangyi had this kind of thinking during the Northern Expedition. What was the result? Aren't you going to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang's valuable historical experience? The easternmost part of your Tang army is the Shaanxi and Gansu area, and the core area of the Khitan is in the northeast. Can you afford the logistics if you fight there?
I don't know how to put it. People who haven't read it are not qualified to comment on this book. If you ask me, what do you think? It ranks first among historical novels!
The last words written
I wrote a book many years ago, but I didn't pay attention to it because I was busy with work. I picked it up a few days ago and finished it in one breath. Thank you to the author! There are very few books written about the Western Regions. The Western Regions are majestic and vast, and their beauty is endless. Only those who have lived in the Western Regions can appreciate its vastness. Our nation overcame obstacles in the pre-Qin period and developed a high-spirited national spirit. The later decline was not due to our inability, but to the lack of economy, thus losing the motivation to explore, the high morale to explore new spaces, and the courage to face new things. This book has many problems, such as underestimating the difficulty of transportation across the Western Regions, the aura of the protagonist being too strong in the battle, etc... But the overall shortcomings are not concealed. This is an enjoyable article worth reading. Although there are interruptions in the middle, the overall consistency is consistent. It is recommended to read.
I have been reading online novels for ten years, so I would like to rank the historical novels I have read. The top three are "Late Ming", "Tang Qi" and "Qin Li"
