From Kitchen Worker to Imperial Exam Candidate

So far, with 33 chapters, the writing is excellent and well worth reading. The family, friends, and teachers are loving, and there's no harshness or bitterness. The protagonist is consistently intelligent. The only regret is that there aren't enough chapters. Please, author, update more and faster! 😘

Very realistic, I support the author. I like this kind of realistic style. Keep it up, author! You could add more study tours; don't force the goal of getting the top score in the imperial examinations. Aim for a middle-ranking position.

This book is great! 😊 Keep up the good work, author! (ง •̀_•́)ง This book is quite well-written; the plot isn't exaggerated and it's not a typical, overused, feel-good story.

I don't think it's very appropriate for the male lead's sister to accompany him to the imperial examination. Although it's good to broaden one's horizons, there are only three candidates who have passed the provincial examination, so they're not very high-ranking. The area is far away, and the environment is not safe. They're unfamiliar with the place and the people.

It's really good! I get so excited every time the male lead takes the imperial examinations, but it's so frustrating to always come in second. I feel like I should let him get first place, but I haven't finished watching the rest yet 🤦

I skipped directly to the chapters where the male protagonist passed the imperial examination and became a scholar (秀才), and then moved on to the chapters where he became a third-ranked scholar (探花). Some of these chapters felt unnecessary and contained a lot of filler. Overall, it's still worth reading, although it's still being serialized. But I don't plan to follow it anymore. My next novel is coming!

Absolutely fantastic, highly recommended! It's very well written, and I hope the author updates soon; I'm having a reading slump!

Absolutely fantastic! The male lead is outstanding, and the supporting male character is also incredibly unique. I loved it!

A decent book

Wow, I thought the author had abandoned the story, but there's an update! Keep it up, author! I'll keep it on my bookshelf forever. Keep up the good work, author! I don't need it to be fast, just enjoy the engaging and coherent story. We'll take our time. Keep it up! I'll check back regularly until you finish. Good luck, author!
