The content is really good, but the updates are a bit slow. Does anyone know the author's address? I'd like to send him some Yangjiang specialties.
I'm giving it five stars to show my support. I feel the author put their heart into it, which is much better than those authors with twisted minds. At least it won't affect the reader's values. Some authors will stop at nothing to get reads and likes, and they'll write about any twisted psychology.
I always review a book only after finishing it. But there are always exceptions; I finished it all in one night. Overall, it's quite good. I often see articles and TV dramas saying things like, "Ten years of hard study go unnoticed, but one success brings fame throughout the land." Looking at people today and thinking about the ancients, it really is true: every inch of time is worth its weight in gold.
The article gives a peaceful and gentle feeling, flowing like a gentle stream, while the language is witty and humorous with a touch of playfulness. Keep up the good work, author!
The author's use of classical allusions and vivid writing style makes this a truly excellent work.
It's alright. It's not one of those meticulously detailed imperial examination novels; it's more of a "wish-fulfillment" story where you get rich and marry a wife. Making money is relatively easy; a single copy of a storybook can sell for several hundred taels of silver. Money comes easily. I still prefer reading about the arduous imperial examinations. There's not much of a sense of immersion.
This is brilliantly written; I love this kind of writing!
I've read several chapters already, it's really good! A female author, huh? Keep it up! Those who give bad reviews are just twisted people who can't stand seeing others succeed. If you think the author's writing is bad, you don't have to read it. It's good enough that there are no novels to read, why deliberately give a bad review?
I also think it's great, so why isn't it rated highly?
The novel is really well-written; there's no exaggeration, and it feels quite realistic and believable! Keep it up!
