A Ming Dynasty Scholar? How Could I Defy Confucianism?

What a brilliant Wang Shoujing! What brilliant rebellious Yan and Confucian scholars! The author is truly talented! P. S.: At the beginning of the book, you might feel uncomfortable with some of Zhu Di's thoughts and remarks. This is probably because the author wasn't quite there yet when writing, so it feels a bit stiff. You can skip chapters and read on; you'll find that the author has a really insightful perspective! 👍

It's a good book, so the low rating must be because the updates are too slow. You need to reflect on that.

This is a very good and unique book. It's not one of those Ming Dynasty political intrigue novels. The protagonist, though in officialdom, is detached from worldly affairs, has his own pursuits and principles, is dutiful, ambitious, and possesses youthful vigor. The author's writing is excellent; many sentences are worth quoting. The imagery is profound and evocative.

This book is really good. Keep going, it's a great book.

A somewhat fresh and not overly exaggerated "feel-good" story. The protagonist is a financier who chooses the appropriate emperor. If the emperor can't cooperate with his plans, he'd rather develop his own path abroad. He makes everything clear to the emperor; it's all about whether you'll play along. If you play along, you win.

Awesome! The author has a very grand and expansive scope, and the narrative is clear. Amazing! I'll be waiting for it to be finished.

The male protagonist is truly a man of great vision. Is the author of this book not a high-ranking official?

This is an excellent book; its ideas resonate deeply with us nationalists! Cynicism has imprisoned the Chinese people for millennia, harming only their own compatriots while allowing barbarians to roam freely! They even invented the scroll! Acting as shepherds of Heaven? Treating us like animals, confining us and preventing us from finding our own way to survive? We are human beings!

It's very different from typical Ming Dynasty novels; it's quite unconventional.

This book may seem a bit tedious and complicated, but it exudes a vibrant spirit throughout! What were scholars like in ancient times? Just as described in the book. As for the spirit and energy, just like the works of famous writers (such as Chen Dong and I Eat Tomatoes), there is a unique spirit and energy of readers that runs through the whole text.
