It's very well written, capturing the mindset and actions of a true time traveler, unlike some authors who portray time travelers as having to compete with ancient people in terms of intelligence, strategy, and strength. They don't even consider that if someone truly had such a brilliant mind, why would they need to travel back in time?
A rare gem of a book, faithful to history yet not bound by it, it strives to correct the Qing dynasty edition of the *History of Ming*, which was altered by unscrupulous scholars over a century ago, revealing a corner of the truth that had been buried for hundreds of years... The plot is also witty and humorous, making it highly recommended.
Like the time-travel protagonists I envision, this one starts with small steps, gradually adapting to the situation without forcibly altering events. Unlike protagonists in other books who constantly save others, kill people, recruit powerful figures, and easily defy fate, this one is different.
This book is good. It shows that the author has a profound knowledge base, the writing is logically clear and rigorous, and the historical materials are detailed and have a broad perspective.
It's rare to find a novel that explains the concept of soul transmission so clearly and logically. The development of technology is also portrayed with great credibility. Among Ming Dynasty time-travel novels, besides "Iron-Blooded Remnant Ming," this one seems quite good. I've only just started reading it, so I hope it doesn't fall apart later on. 🤦
A good book, a rare gem. The overall logic is consistent with common sense (as for the story of starting a business at the age of three, a serious novel would be impossible to write about). Overall, it is socialist in nature, and its stance is sound. Although it contains some assumptions, its merits outweigh its flaws.
Technology develops gradually, which I like.
A rare and enjoyable read! The author is incredibly knowledgeable, the plot is tightly woven, and I finished it in one go, especially the creative parts. A huge thumbs up! 👍
It's interesting content, but without pictures, imagining what you're saying makes my head spin. Having read 24 chapters, I feel the protagonist is just a tool for improving the world's quality; it's so boring. And even at 1 million words, it's still just small-scale stuff. It might be related to the excessive amount of tedious, repetitive technology descriptions.
It's very good and interesting, written in a humorous and witty style, and I enjoyed reading it. Where's the three-piece time-travel set? Is it just glass? It needs plant-based oils, no mirrors, soap, cement, perfume, etc.
