Personal Picks for When You're Out of Books
Finding books is a hassle. Finding good books is even harder. Updates are irregular. Some got taken down, and I don't know why (lol). P.S. I've read at least 80% of every book here.

I don't like novels about overthrowing one's own dynasty. Chongzhen was still thinking about not hurting any of the people until he died. You actually poisoned him. Chongzhen only loved the people and loved the army. And the people at that time knew more about patriotism than they do now. Look at how many heroes fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty.
I lost interest in watching as soon as I heard the main character joined the Donglin Party!
The root of all the trouble began with Emperor Wu of Han's exclusive promotion of Confucianism.
After he declared himself emperor, he had the feel of a Qing dynasty palace drama, even having a Qing princess marry him off. What does "marrying off" even mean? It means he can't shake off his ingrained servility, can he?
What I hate most is someone who eats with their bowl in hand, then not only curses but also smashes other people's bowls after finishing! On one hand, they say that corruption is rampant in the court, generals act independently, merchants evade taxes, and gentry don't pay their taxes!
He was all pretentious when other rich young ladies took a liking to him, but after a few chapters his true nature was revealed. One courtesan after another appeared. If those talented men weren't in the way, would he have taken all the beauties of Qinhuai into his harem?
During the Chongzhen era, the "people" referred to by the scholar-officials didn't mean ordinary citizens, but rather the gentry, landlords, and merchants. As for others, they were considered livestock, not "people." The Ming Dynasty was already beyond redemption.
The author has absolutely no concept of money; he spent tens of thousands of taels just to support 100 people, and with such good treatment and benefits, he'll collapse long ago when he has tens of thousands of people. He'll have no income and will have to rely on fighting bandits.
There's a reason this book flopped; it deserved to. 🙂
Another time traveler colluding with a brothel madam, this charade is disgusting!
