Top Completed Picks from a 30-Year Veteran Reader
I've been a bookworm for over thirty years, starting with Jin Yong, Ni Kuang, and Huang Yi, and moving on to online fiction. I'm a picky reader: novels need to paint vivid scenes and make sense, without making their characters act like idiots. Ideally, they'll get my blood pumping or move me to tears. From early online novels like The Legend of the Soldier and The Ethereal Journey to the present day, this list carefully gathers some of the complete novels that were once hugely popular. No abando

A Ten-Year Veteran Reader: No Mindless Reads, Just Good Stories with Logic
I've always loved reading! The first novel I read in sixth grade that really felt like a novel was Zhu Xian. After that, my reading got more eclectic: Piaomiao Journey, A World of Mercenaries, and The Legend of the Evil God. Early novels had such great quality and solid logic! They might have been a little short, but you couldn't fault the quality. These days, I'm looking for novels that are well written. I read all kinds of things, so don't expect to find just one style of novel here 😁😁 I only

As a Qin native, I have the utmost disapproval of those who time-travel to the Warring States period and want to destroy Qin! Even though Qin only lasted two generations 😁
When the Xiongnu attacked, they shouted that it was Han territory 😁, just like the online story about someone traveling back to the Northern Song Dynasty and asking a passerby what dynasty it was, to which the passerby shouted "Northern Song!" Just as foolish.
I've read fifty chapters, and it's still quite interesting, but for someone with OCD like me, it's probably unbearable. Many plot points seem illogical. The author is extremely careless with research; pigs, sheep, and cattle are slaughtered like ants. Many things that would never have existed in the Qin Dynasty appear one after another, like chili peppers—and you'd believe it if they said it was dogwood. There are just too many examples like this. OCD sufferers beware!
It's not like before where you could just make things up and write anything. Even if you're making things up, there has to be some logic and common sense. Most of the historical and urban novels I've read have protagonists who weren't very successful in their previous lives—brainless, low emotional intelligence, and naive.
Since it's a time-travel story set in the Warring States period, why does your synopsis mention Qin Shi Huang?
The first chapter disgusted me, haha! Garbage!
I've read over ten chapters, but too many details are distracting. I'm leaving. 😁😁😁
Watching this after watching "A Step into the Past" is just so awkward. I've watched "A Step into the Past" seven times.
I've only read 30 chapters, and there are already too many problems. Dude, pay more attention to history books!
It's said that different dialects exist every ten miles, yet you can communicate without any problems even in the Warring States period. I'm from Guangdong, and I wouldn't dare say I understand all of Cantonese. Also, there were several types of seal script during the Warring States period. Is the protagonist an archaeologist? How can you read it but not understand its meaning?!
A Step into the Past (remake)
The overall plot is largely consistent with "A Step into the Past," including the Wu Family Fortress, Miss Wu, the princess's escort, eloping with the princess, rescuing Ying Zheng and his mother and returning to Qin, and the widow Qing, etc. There are some differences in the details.
