Books I've Collected and Finished, and That Left an Impression (Mostly Complete)
From childhood to adulthood, all kinds of things have moved me, and all kinds of books have touched my heart. Was it the books that moved me, or did I happen upon them at just the right time? Since starting work, I haven't had much time to read. I pick up books here and there, in little fragments, so the emotions never really build or linger. I've still finished a few, though. I'll make time to catch up on the good ones.
Imperial Ambitions
When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, my flowers will bloom and all others will die. A thousand miles of rivers and mountains, a scene of grandeur: how many heroes have come and gone? Thrones are built on bones, imperial roads on yellow sand. The history books record them all in a few simple strokes. Three Kingdoms: Empire of the Realm, by Xiaoxiao Majia No. 1 Three Kingdoms of Immortals and Warriors, by Baiyin Longma

If You See This List Has Been Updated, It Just Means This Lazy Fish Rolled Over
This is a list by a couch potato. I rarely update it unless there’s a new book. Most of my recommendations are transmigration novels and lighthearted comedies.
Twenty Years of Web Novels: Finished Historical Fiction Masterpieces
A list specially recommended for beginners. Seasoned readers have probably read these already, so they can skip it. Top-quality books to start with: completed novels over a million characters long.
Recommended by Your Friend, Shuxian
All the books here are ones I think are pretty good. Note: 1. Overall, I prefer lighthearted stories, though that doesn't mean I dislike other kinds. 2. Aside from absolute classics, I'll keep books by authors who have disappeared or abandoned their stories on the list for a while, then remove them. P.S. Lately, I've found several authors who've dropped their stories are thinking of picking them back up. Some have already started working on them. Of course, just because I like a book doesn't me
The Best Books Are the Ones That Suit You
I refuse to read shallow, simplistic novels, and I can't stand stupid protagonists or supporting characters. The big-name authors' masterpieces are on the rankings. I only keep novels that suit my taste.
Entertainment ❤️ Infrastructure ❤️ The System Is the Best
This list mainly features entertainment-industry fiction, farming and infrastructure-building stories, System novels, apocalypse fiction, game fiction, and works by famous authors. It is my personal reading list, so I do not waste time picking up books I have already abandoned. Every addition has been read at least through the VIP chapters. Although the title mentions infrastructure building, looking back, there are hardly any farming or infrastructure-building stories here. So I plan to search

Personally Tested: All Worth Buying in Full (Do-Gooders, Moral Guardians, and Chaste Gentlemen, Keep Out)
1. There's no particular pattern to this list and the books don't share a category. Every one of them is worth buying in full. 2. Goody-two-shoes, self-righteous defenders of the faith, and playboys who never make a move, please show yourselves out. 3. A book list is all about the owner's preferences. I've bought over 80% of the books here in full, read over 50% of them more than twice, and tipped at least 10,000 points on 30% of them... 4. I don't like simplistic stories, protagonists who are a

I have read this book before and thought it was good. But now that I think about it, this book has three incorrect views. Cao Cao did a lot of killing and setting up troops. Liu Bei had many benevolent deeds. The author believes that Liu Bei is a hypocrite. He does not base his judgment on facts but relies on subjective speculation. Personally I think this is too arbitrary. Of course, writing a novel does not require real evidence. The author may just write the story from a different perspective. I am too serious. I personally have no intention of blaming the author, I just hope that all book friends will treat the three concepts in the book with an objective attitude when reading. Just looking at the writing, this book is still worth reading today.
Tell a story: Once upon a time there was a man named Cao Peng, who later became Cao Peng
This book is too old, the routines are out of date, and it seems verbose and boring now.
Thief Cao, if you still have the nerve to mention the imperial court, I will surely capture you alive, eat your flesh, and sleep on your skin! Cao thief! Take your life! Drive!
I can't stand it anymore when I see Liu Bei being slandered everywhere. Also, the protagonist himself is a treacherous person.
Haha, the protagonist drew the bellows, and said that he didn't know the impact, and that he would not do anything that was not good for him. Then he and others wanted to build it. He had no power, and he still pretended to be a big-tailed wolf. Even if he was powerful, he could say it. That woman is from a wealthy family, and once it is built, is it the protagonist who has the final say? Even if it is built, what can it be used for, exchange for money, or for personal use? Treat the driver as a fool!
The protagonist has a thirty-year-old soul and a fifteen-year-old mind.
After reading dozens of chapters, I couldn't stand it anymore. Everything else is acceptable, but the character of the protagonist is really unbearable. He is indecisive when he is dying, and he is inexplicably smart when he should be calm. There is no trace of the stability of two generations. The first few chapters can be rated as average, but after seeing the Battle of Wancheng, I would rate it as average or below.
Traveling across the Three Kingdoms to join Cao Cao? Do you have a family background? No? Then you wait to be made into military rations.
Cao Peng is a little weak
Cao Thief is well written, but the protagonist's character is really capricious. There are women who use Cao Peng's name to do things, even if they don't know her, they won't object, like a coward. For example, when Zhen Mi's family used Cao Peng's name to ask for protection, Cao Peng didn't care. And he married Zhen Mi under the pressure of make do. If it was a man he didn't know, Cao Peng wouldn't kill him, but he would also make him pay the price. Can you write a hegemony article without engaging in these things? How could a real hero be like this? Is it true that as long as she is a pretty woman, she can do this and that in front of Cao Peng?
The protagonist of this book is so frustrated that anyone can bully him? And what I never understand is why the female characters written by the author are all self-righteous and unreasonable people? Because I haven't seen much of it now, I don't know if the female characters in the future will be better. The female characters I've seen so far make people feel very frustrated. I don't understand why all the female characters feel like they can do anything to the protagonist for granted? Does the author have any misunderstandings about women?
