Golden Finger at the End of the Ming Dynasty

Those who write time-travel dramas often misunderstand, assuming the steam engine is incredibly complex. It's actually quite simple; it existed in the 16th century and is merely a sealed cylinder working back and forth, operating on the same principle as a bellows. Watt improved the steam engine, he didn't invent it.

This rebirth novel has a rather novel premise: the protagonist brings a knock-off supermarket to the Ming Dynasty. As expected of a knock-off, all the products inside are counterfeit, and their quality is incomparable to the genuine articles. However, the knock-off products are also more technologically advanced than those of the time, and the goods produced are quite good. This is a relatively novel writing style, and overall it's worth a look.

It's a decent time-travel system novel. The protagonist is a typical Han chauvinist, and the plot and scenes are quite good. However, the dialogue is a bit sloppy. After all, it's about time travel to ancient times, so we can't expect it to be as classically elegant as some great authors. It frequently incorporates modern vocabulary. Overall, the flaws don't detract from the merits, and I hope the author's next book will be even more exciting!

It's a pretty good system with a cheat system, the writing is quite good, and there aren't any plot points that insult the reader's intelligence. Overall, it's quite good.

The opening idea was quite good, and the plot was unconventional. It's clear that the author put in a lot of effort, but the writing still feels immature and needs improvement.

It's alright, but you can use gene-optimization drugs, so why are other technologies still only available from the late 19th century? That's not fair.

While the writing and plot are good, there are still shortcomings in historical, military, political, and economic aspects. However, there is still considerable room for development. (For example, the economic system implemented by the protagonist, while excellent for the time, could easily lead to a low-desire society, causing severe economic recession and low morale. Note that it could also directly lead to negative population growth.)

It's worth a look; it demonstrates some logical thinking. It's not mindless.

This book is actually quite good, better than most of the novels on Tomato Bookstore, so why is the rating so low? I don't understand.

As a bookworm of over a decade, I found this book readable, though the writing style is a bit immature. I look forward to more good books from the author. I definitely couldn't write this myself. Thumbs up to the author!
