No fixed genre, and my tastes are hard to pin down. Whether it’s historical or urban fiction, fantasy or science fiction, as long as it isn’t brainless or blindly following the crowd, I’ll add it to the list and share it with people who have similar interests, instincts, or tastes.

Books You Won't Forget: A Great-Value Reading List
My honest recommendations: every one is a classic.
Though Time Shows No Mercy, I'd Still Break New Ground for You~~~
Feel free to recommend good books! There's always room on this list~~~ These books are addictive, so try them at your own risk. If you get hooked, don't expect a cure~~~ Web novels are plentiful and their quality varies. You can't please everyone, so if you don't like it, don't complain. Turn right at the door and off you go. Some books make you lose track of time as you get swept up in the story and follow the author's train of thought. Watch these wonderful authors take old tropes and make the
Historical Turmoil and Power Struggles, Plus Showbiz, Both Chinese and Foreign. Finished Stories Rarely Put the Protagonist Through the Wringer.
History, single-person transmigration, wars for supremacy in troubled times, no System. For Chinese history, I mainly recommend the Warring States, the end of the Qin, the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the end of the Sui, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the late Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing. The military is the main focus. The protagonist generally takes charge, and most start from humble beginnings. A few entertainment novels I personally think are well written, mainly a

Before I knew it, "Against the Current" was probably already in its later stages. I'm just writing casually. It was a wonderful coincidence that I came across this book. I never read similar recommendations, but my eyes fell on the title and I thought it was very interesting, unlike other books that just say "back to xx".
The male lead almost got cheated on several times. At the beginning, his sister-in-law, Yu Chi Mingyue, was having an affair with Wang Xin, and they almost got together. Although he wasn't caught cheating on, Wang Xin touched him all over, and they were just one step away from going all the way. Then, Wu Ming, the male lead's henchman, caught them in the act.
The method for raising offspring is excellent!
Chapter Twelve: I can't hold on any longer. A traitor who almost caused the extermination of your entire family doesn't have to pay any price and is still alive and well. This is truly...
To put it simply, the protagonist tries to kill the emperor, but instead of stabbing him in the heart or lungs, and even slitting his throat, he somehow manages to save the emperor...
For someone like me who loves reading historical fiction, this book was incredibly toxic; the first dozen or so chapters were so awkward to read…
It's a book for artsy types; the writing is decent, but the plot is both whimsical and incredibly convoluted. The protagonist treats the emperor and powerful officials like pigs and dogs, assassinating them without hesitation, even to the point of disregarding his own safety and intending to die with them.
The ending, with North America and the Americas, made me cry. It seems like America will emerge a thousand years earlier than planned. That region is across the Pacific Ocean, and ancient China could never have ruled there. A new nation will inevitably form, making things even more difficult for China. 😢
This book is extremely toxic; the protagonist's personality is too saintly.
I couldn't read past the sixth chapter. A spoiled brat with no martial arts skills actually managed to assassinate the emperor and escape from the imperial guards? Are you kidding me? If that were the case, ancient emperors wouldn't dare offend anyone, otherwise anyone could kill them.
