A good starting point could be 'Oliver Twist' by Charles Dickens. It exposes the dark side of 19th - century London, like the workhouses and poverty. The story is engaging and the characters are well - drawn. 'Little Women' by Louisa May Alcott also has some historical context, especially in terms of family life and gender roles in the 19th century. It's a heartwarming story that new readers of historical fiction might enjoy. And 'The Secret Garden' by Frances Hodgson Burnett is set in a large English manor and shows the transformation of the characters in that historical setting.

English historical fiction often has complex characters. These characters are shaped by the historical context. In 'Middlemarch' by George Eliot, the characters' dreams and ambitions are influenced by the social and economic situation of Victorian England. Also, the language used can be a characteristic. Some historical fictions use archaic language to give a more authentic feel, like in Shakespeare's historical plays which were also a form of historical fiction in a way.

His soul power increased after being treated? Ning Rongrong was addicted

Wang Hai, a healing-type soul master, would trigger special effects when using healing soul skills on patients, including but not limited to increasing the opponent's soul power level, body strength, soul ring age, and even evolving the opponent's martial soul! After the special effect was triggered, Wang Hai would enjoy ten times the reward! Thus, several years later, Wang Hai's "Master" name resounded throughout the Spirit Master world, and he opened the "Security Hall". Countless Spirit Masters came to seek treatment, just to enjoy the powerful effects. No one dared to cause trouble because the first person who dared to cause trouble was called Tang Hao. The grass on his grave was already ten meters tall. Those who had been treated by Wang Hai were all top experts on the continent. After Liu Erlong was healed, her spirit evolved into Thunder Flame Dragon, her killing intent dispelled, the knot in her heart untied, and she personally killed the coward Yu Xiao Gang, becoming the first guardian of the Security Hall. Ning Rongrong, the first to take Wang Hai as her master, under her addiction to healing, had long ago strengthened her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the point where it was indestructible, even killing a god. However, there were always people who couldn't figure it out. On this day, Tang San came to visit. "Your soul power is thick and pure, your body is strong, and your spiritual power far surpasses your peers. There's nothing wrong with you. You don't need treatment." Wang Hai casually diagnosed. "I'm here to avenge my father!" Tang San said hatefully. "Revenge? Tsk tsk, Rongrong, someone's looking for trouble, you deal with it." Wang Hai was too lazy to act, ordering Ning Rongrong around. "Senior Sister, don't! Let me do it!" As soon as he finished speaking, a long leg kicked out, and Tang San flew backwards, his bones and tendons completely shattered. Xiao Wu retracted her leg and looked at Wang Hai with dissatisfaction: This kind of little trash, what need is there to call Rongrong Shijie?"
