Most Popular Historical BG

Most Popular Historical BG
Basically every popular historical bg novel ever. These are the novels you must have heard of if not read.(And if you've done neither...well you're here now!). BTW its in order of popularity.

The stars will show how much I enjoyed the book and at the same time I will also be adding any problems/dislikable things that I noticed (Im pretty sure i missed a lot and probably forgot a few by the time i finish making this). After that I'll also be adding the novel sypnosis. If yall see that the novel has clearly many bad points and yet I've given a high rating its because although I notice these problems...I tend to ignore them while reading.
Be warned ⚠️ ⚠️⚠️ :

5⭐️ I LOVE this novel. But since I promised bad points...well I'd say the male lead's  beauty has been described way too many times. It's kind of a running joke now.... more>>

4.2 ⭐️ Kinda like TBAVW^ but you've probably heard this from everyone. MC is just a bit toooo lazy I think. And yes she's a calamitous beauty n all...but for some reason I just didn't feel that charm. ML is also whitewashed using his pampering towards his wife, 'gentle' personality (yeah sure) and his good looks.... more>>

3 ⭐️ pe*ophile alert. That's all I'm gonna say...read the top few comments while my page was stuck loading n honestly just read them...they've expressed themselves so well with a few more points than ii even noticed lol. For those who dont wanna do that Ill sum it up...so first theres a hedonistic stepbrother who had originally mu*dered someone and died when he was 8??? The stepsister not liking mc is also normal...i mean shes 5. Then comes the ml who shows romantic interest in mc when she is 6 and he is 16. he also touches her without her consent. After this comes the worst part...the 13 year old that was gangr*peD. I am... more>>

3.8⭐️  The villains are too one directional. So are the love rivals. A character looks at our main leads, instantly falls in love with one of them, is jealous because of fluffiness, plans revenge, forgets ML and FL are powerful, dies or suffers punishment and then cycle keeps repeating.... more>>

4.9⭐️  Love it. What might be a put off is how MC is like manipulative as hell an thinks of men as display items. She's out on a prowl to find a husband like a predator finding prey. However with her first life it is kinda justified. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Cheng Yujin was the elder twin sister, who was supposed to be engaged to an excellent man. However she later learned that her fiance, Marquis Jingyong, had proposed to her because he mistakenly recognized her as her younger twin sister. Marquis Jingyong and her younger sister had a deep relationship, and after many twists and turns, finally broke through all hardships and became eternal lovers. While Cheng... more>>

4⭐️  How did a weak girl with physical fitness 0 manage to become fit enough to run ariund in the mountains even overtaking millitary men who have been execising for god knows how long. ML is basically bullying her most of the book and then it turns out he inexperienced in relations and actually loves her. This is basicaly like the boy behind you is pulling your hair because he likes you.... more>>

4.5 ⭐️ I liked it ngl. But it's like all the other novels in the cliche where op mc transmigrated to tr*sh body. Turns out body isn't tr*sh  someone just poisoned her/subdued her powers. ML likes her when no one else did. Ml also has secret identity. ... more>>

4.2⭐️  The ML let the ex-ML (his son) grow up in a household that was full of toxicity, lies and bad employees. The ex-ML grew up with a quite possibly deranged mother while the household itself was not good. his knowledge of love was also limited to his mothers fairytales. However of course the ML doesnt seem to care leaving his son in such a situation and going to war.... more>>

4 .2⭐️ It's funny but I need to put a r*pe alert. Like he's forcing himself on her. She's literally vomiting and only then he stops. And then he's threatening her family if she doesn't please him. I honestly just skipped those parts. ... more>>

386 Chapters Every 23 Day(s) 9492 Readers 113 Reviews 09-19-2024
4.4⭐️  Very slow romance. But thats ok if youre not here for that. 12 year FL old being called 'seductive'.(Well this is ancient china though) FL amd ML having to consummate after consuming aphrosodiac while FL was injured and the servants who were the reason for this were not punished.... more>>

245 Chapters Every 117.3 Day(s) 8311 Readers 91 Reviews 02-27-2024
4.4⭐️ Some way through the story mc just loses the basic morals. Like I know that you're in ancient China and that you should be careful and ruthless to not be be plotted against but man don't lose your humanity,  kindness. I really disliked MC and ML'S ruthlessness like letting a 13 year old kid marry a rapist??? Bro you're from the modern times how can you let that happen.... more>>

3.9⭐️ It started off great. Unique and wonderful characters. Then it started going downhill after marriage. Even though i avoided the s*x scenes, the after effects off it really stood out. i mean our mc is waning away. Also lets not forget MC was basically tricked into marriage.... more>>

100 Chapters Every 246.1 Day(s) 8601 Readers 78 Reviews 07-21-2015
4 From the 70% of the novel that I read, I feel some of the conversations weren't smooth and were rather forced and cold in a way. 30% of the novel was so for those who like it...this is for you. I also felt that although the first half was good...MC became very revenge orientated and kind of bitter. Luckily ML remained mainly the same.... more>>
