The Dust of History
Doing my best to pan for gold in the sea of historical fiction. This list leans toward serious, research-driven works. Guarding against plagiarism, abandoned stories, and overly pretentious writing.

I read all sorts of things, and I'm too lazy to write a long introduction. This is a collection list.
Historical Masterpieces
I started reading web novels with "Qie Ming". Later I read works by Chi Hu and Te Bie Bai, though the latter's stories dragged on too much. Then I came across Ke Shan Meng's "Wan Ming" and Lao Bai Niu's "Xiao Bing". I just couldn't get through "Xu Nan Ming", and after that I ran out of things to read. This list is limited to excellent historical novels that are still being serialized. Whether they're good is a matter of personal taste, of course. At least I can keep reading these, and the writin

Books that suit my taste. There's no particular style, but they're definitely logical and not frustrating to read.

If the Jade Emperor Asked About the Mortal World, Literature Is Worthless in Times of Chaos
Online novels can run to tens or even hundreds of millions of characters, yet sell for next to nothing. Authors can only earn more by updating more, but more updates mean more padding. This vicious cycle keeps making the writing worth less and less. Thankfully, some authors still avoid padding and carefully polish their prose. Here are a few recommendations.

A Bookshelf Shaped by Time
There are no categories or special themes here. The only criterion is whether a book is good. The stories here are highly readable, with clear logic, consistent worldbuilding, and lucid prose that makes for a smooth read. There are plenty of forgotten gems here. Open one up, and you'll find yourself smiling in recognition. Someday, these books may become unavailable and disappear into the dust of history. Until then, let's remember them for a while.

Upon the Scroll
A book should be lighthearted, letting you leave the world's troubles behind. A book should also be contemplative, letting you appreciate the weight of words and ideas. Upon these pages lies the gateway to knowledge. In my name, I promise you a life without regrets.

As expected of a novel from several years ago, it has all the common flaws: military wish fulfillment, modern system, foreign princess, and top courtesan.
Babao Daoren is probably the most talented author on Qidian.com. Whether it's his knowledge base, his understanding of human relationships, his writing style, structure, pacing, character development, or plot, I think he's impeccable in every aspect.
[Comment] Hoping for the royal army's westward expedition
To be honest, these past few days I've been fantasizing about the protagonist unifying the world and then sending a massive army westward on a campaign. The remnants of the Tang dynasty in the Western Regions would be deeply moved upon seeing the Tang army again, and foreign tribes would be filled with awe at the sight of the Tang army's might.
That's right. After reading this book, I realized that the late Tang Dynasty was also in complete chaos, much like the late Han Dynasty!
How to drink tea?
Having read up to Chapter 70, a very practical question arises: tea in the late Tang Dynasty was not drunk like it is today. Instead, it was like the Japanese tea ceremony, using tea powder and adding salt, beans, and other ingredients. It was more like a tea soup than tea water.
Seeing the chapter titles already kills my desire to read.
Seeing the Battle of the Two Rivers (Part 10), I noticed that the protagonist's troops seemed to lack a sergeant class to accommodate veterans. They could follow the example of the U. S. Army and establish a system of sergeants, corporals, and sergeant majors from 1 to 12 to accommodate those who are battle-hardened but are not suitable or willing to be officers. The highest sergeant major's treatment could be the same as that of a senior general of the fourth or fifth rank.
What a great book, yet so few people read it! 🤔
I really want to see the author continue the story of the Battle of Talas.
[Comment] What's the next step?
After dealing with Zhu Yuanzhang, Sichuan is the only remaining challenge. If we don't allow other warlords to seize a share of the spoils when Zhu Yuanzhang falls, then there's no real challenge ahead…
