It's pretty good. If only things could be different, this would be a truly wonderful thing; the author's conception is excellent. A good read and definitely a strong work.
This is one of the few good time-travel novels I've read. The plot is fantastic, the narration is logical, and the overall structure is perfect. It's a book worth rereading multiple times. However, I really cannot agree with the author's writing about those messy things. I don't object to casual banter, but it's not good to put it into writing. Words can be spread and influence many people.
Although this book is not very long, I personally think it's better than "The First Undercover Agent of the Song Dynasty".
The beginning and middle were alright, but the later part felt a bit weak. Overall, it's a mid-range work compared to others of the same genre. Not bad! 👍
The author possesses strong writing skills, with a style reminiscent of *Water Margin*. The story itself is also captivating; quite excellent!
The author is clever and witty, and has clearly put a lot of thought into the work. This is a rare gem among historical web novels featuring time travel, where the author's profound literary skills and extensive historical knowledge make it a delight to read.
Although this book has some shortcomings, the character portrayals and language expression are quite good.
The narrative is vivid and engaging, with a captivating and dramatic plot – a truly remarkable piece of writing.
A good book. The writing is fluent, and the characters are vividly portrayed. The plot is tight, and the narration is well-balanced in its detail. I'll continue reading; I hope it continues to be excellent.
The author has a high level of cultural literacy. This must be a well-made work by the client.
