History, the present, and the future
Sixteen Years of Recommending Only the Best
I've read countless books. Once, I chased quantity and quick thrills, reading everything from famous authors to newcomers. But the true masters gradually disappeared, and bland books became endless. Good books grew hard to find, so I walked away. Now I've returned to Qidian. I no longer care about rankings in the web-novel world. I'll enjoy both newcomers and big names with a drink, as long as their work is sincere. After more than a decade of reading, I've gathered dozens of top-quality works,

A Book a Day Keeps Ignorance Away
Life is a dream, and the years are a song. Here are novels that left a deep impression on me and taught me a lot, recommended in their memory.
Learning from History
Ever since I was little, I’ve dreamed of becoming a great hero, returning to the past to change the world and make my name immortal. I’m sure lots of people have felt the same way. Alternate-history novels satisfy this desire, which is why transmigration stories have become so popular. If history could happen again, what would you choose? When faced with the sweeping tide of history, every change you make will alter its course. This list will collect and update historical novels from time to t
Something for Everyone
Every book has a style all its own. After reading Aesop’s Fables, you get that feeling of finding a way forward just when all seemed lost, and everything suddenly becomes clear. After laughing, rejoicing, grieving, and feeling for the characters in each fable, you remember not to be selfish, self-important, defeatist, insecure, or arrogant like one character, but to respect and love yourself like another...
My Personal Bookshop
When I’m troubled, I pick up a book, and it reminds me how important happiness is. When I’m angry, I pick up a book, and it reminds me how precious understanding can be. When I’m bored, I pick up a book, and it reminds me how hard it is to find a fulfilling life. Books, you’re so beautiful and wonderful. When will I be as great and learned as you?
The Chapter of Thorns
When you read, “The torrent plunges three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way had fallen from the heavens,” are you struck by the waterfall’s vast, majestic power? If it had shrunk back against the cliff instead of leaping through the air, how could it have become the wonder it is today?
Satisfying Reads
Reading makes a person fulfilled; conversation makes a person quick-witted; writing and note-taking make a person precise. History makes a person wise; poetry makes a person clever; mathematics makes a person meticulous; natural history makes a person profound; ethics makes a person dignified; logic and rhetoric make a person eloquent.
Feel-Good Stories and Laughs
Reading broadens my horizons, makes it easier for me to deal with problems in daily life, and enriches my free time.

The protagonist didn't become emperor in the end, but became the emperor's father-in-law. This is probably one reason why the author's later books performed increasingly poorly.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a divine book; all other novels about the Three Kingdoms after that are rubbish.
Regarding the frequency of foreign invasions
Having read up to Chapter Six, I feel the frequency of the Xianbei invasions is too high. After their devastating defeat and heavy casualties last time, they invaded again only a year or two later. Just how many people did the Xianbei actually have to muster an army of hundreds of thousands? The author should provide more data on this to enhance credibility. It cannot be simply assumed that they were a nomadic people, with everyone a soldier and no need for military supplies.
I couldn't stand it anymore. First, the protagonist's background is unclear, and the "amnesia" assumption is too tedious. Second, the writing style is too dry. It was really a struggle to keep reading. There's a lack of character development; it's all about fighting or on the way to a battle. Third, there are too many contradictions with historical facts and common sense.
I saw a post saying the protagonist ends up becoming the emperor's father-in-law, but that's too much of a plot point, I won't read it. If that were true, would the protagonist really die in bed? I don't think so. Under imperial power, it doesn't matter if you rebel or not; as long as you have the ability, you won't live long.
This is truly a classic of the late Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms period in history. I read it in 2017, and I feel no other Three Kingdoms novel can compare. This novel needs to be read slowly and savored; it's a slow-burn novel. Who says that every Three Kingdoms novel has to depict someone becoming emperor? If you understand that era, you wouldn't think that way.
The plot is like that of a honey badger; after reading the last chapter, it becomes clear that all he did was fight. His self-proclaimed happy ending is nothing more than a slip of the tongue that went unnoticed. A tasteless Three Kingdoms story.
It's a book from over ten years ago, not bad, but the ending was terrible. The beginning was full of the protagonist's indignation at the injustice of the world, his feeling that human life was worthless, and his burning passion, but that passion never materialized later on. It was ridiculous; it kept the reader hanging, getting more and more disgusting as they read on.
In the Han Dynasty, no matter how outstanding one's military achievements, one had to kneel in the power struggles. Han Xin, Li Guang, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and the Three Luminaries of Liangzhou were examples. Even if you didn't kneel, your entire family had to kneel after your death—not a single one of them would be spared.
A general who transmigrates to the chaotic Three Kingdoms period, loves women more than the throne, and doesn't aspire to be emperor, isn't a good transmigrator. They might as well just return to the modern era; these kinds of transmigrators are better suited to being tools, not to embarrass the genre.
