A List to Pass the Time (History, Fanfiction, and Xianxia)
I really haven't found many good books lately, though plenty on my list are still updating. (Most were added gradually after I'd read them.) I'll finish some of my backlog before looking for new ones. Since I've read most of these, the list reflects my personal tastes pretty strongly. My preferences keep changing, too, so it's a bit of a mess 🤔. Please bear with me. (Though maybe hardly anyone looks at my list anyway.) Thanks to July for the joy your books brought me. I dedicate this to July, t

A Reading List for Books Good Enough to Make the Cut
Every book on this list is one I've read and remember vividly. I've given each one an honest, thoughtful review. Their values may be questionable, but the writing is definitely up to a certain standard. Each is also representative of its genre. This list reflects niche tastes, so it's perfectly normal if you don't like these books. But if you happen to like one, you'll find that every one has its own unique flavor.
An Unconventional History Textbook
Historical novels should be entertaining and thought-provoking. The best ones are both enjoyable and profound. Some good books are available via this Baidu Netdisk link: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1gf8z7Kv. Add me on WeChat at TBBTmark for the extraction code, and I'll send it to you.

[Comment] Did the author deliberately not want to change history, so he tried his best to compress the butterfly changes brought about by the protagonist?
The book is well written, but the author tries desperately not to change history, which makes the book much less readable. For example, the street revolutionary technology that the protagonist brought to Rome, the soldier committees that he brought to the Roman legion, not to mention the stirrups and papermaking technology that were deliberately not mentioned (how did the protagonist do the horse…
[Comment] There's something I don't understand: why is Lucullus nicknamed "Tuna"?
Tuna was truly a great benefactor to the protagonist. Had he not forbade winter camping and driven away the slave traders who had followed the army, the protagonist would likely have been sold off to who-knows-where by the penniless Hybrid, and would never have survived until the day he was liberated by the military tribunal. Tuna's actions made him unpopular with the (military) people, but they did the protagonist a huge favor.
It would be a miracle if this book didn't fail. Anyone who can persist through the first volume is a master. This book is used by the author for his own pleasure. The writing is okay in terms of smoothness, but the protagonist, who is a pure passerby, has all the shortcomings, except that the author gave him an aura of immortality. The author is indirectly slapping the readers crazy in the face.
After reading Chapter 10, I really can't stand it anymore. Reading the reviews, this book was popular before, so I can only say that times have changed. I don't think there's anything wrong with being an abusive master, but I'm really intolerable to the contradictory character of the protagonist. Here's my point of view:
[Comment] Pure intellectuals are really pathetic in a sense
Watch Cicero. Historically, while this man was receiving favors from Caesar (his younger brother was in the Gallic army), he was flirting with the anti-Caesar forces; while he and Caesar were bragging about each other's achievements in Latin literature, he was dreaming of the political dream of the father of the motherland.
The author goes to great lengths to prove that contemporary college students are trash
This kind of literary youth abuse article, the author is so proud of himself, how many audiences can he have?
[Comment] The character, ability and reaction speed of this protagonist are not good at all. I guess he can only be an actor as a Roman emperor.
After reading more than a dozen chapters, I found that the protagonist was ordinary, confused, confused, confused, dizzy, clumsy, weak in limbs, straight-eyed, shrunken and cowardly... A series of characteristics of an otaku. How could this be the emperor of Rome? It's not about showing off your domineering attitude, but at least your protagonist must have some strengths, right?
Coming from Warden America, my expectations were too high. The first volume is very confusing. The protagonist cannot find his own position. There is a serious mismatch between ambition and ability. When he has just passed through, the most important thing is to survive. The best way is to rely on the strong to thrive. The protagonist has big legs and does not want to hug him.
The protagonist is not only arrogant but also foolish, always getting outmaneuvered and frequently filled with regret or surprise. As the protagonist, you can experience setbacks, but please don't inflict debuffs on the protagonist, okay? And the worst debuff is the protagonist's lack of intelligence.
