I just don't understand why such a good book has such a low rating and so few readers.
The author's novel is original yet not exaggerated. The content is exquisite, the plot is full of twists and turns, it is gripping, and at times it makes the reader feel as if they are there. It is full of charm and makes people think deeply. The downside is that the female lead has a tendency to be overly protective of her brother, and the male lead indirectly follows her.
Compared to other time-travel novels, this one is a breath of fresh air. However, I always felt it wanted the protagonist to reasonably conquer the world, and then let the supporting characters suffer. In short, it's much better than other system-based or creation-based novels. That's my personal opinion.
Very good. I suspect the author was offended by someone.
The writing is fluent, and I was particularly impressed by the sections on classical poetry and couplets. The plot is well-conceived, although the final battle scene felt a bit rushed, which is understandable given the author's health condition. I look forward to your new work!
I've only read a little over a hundred chapters. Could someone who has finished reading spoil the plot for me and tell me how many women the male lead ended up with?
It possesses a strong sense of immersion, with unique and apt descriptions of war scenes, a strong sense of cultural identity, and well-balanced and diverse character development.
It's so good, why is the rating so low?
People don't understand that a true dynasty is built on the slow and steady progress of a single person, a single soldier, and a single blade of grass; they only know the wish-fulfillment stories with a starting system.
It's well-written; it's not a mindless wish-fulfillment story, but the character development and plot logic are very clear, making it well worth reading.
