I have read more than 20 chapters, and I can give it a 9.5. To put it simply, there is no nonsense, the writing is not bad, and I feel like everything is in my hands. To put it bluntly, it is a strategist and a good control over the heroine. There is no loss of virginity at the beginning, and there are only a few chapters with the fast pace of several heroines. It is relatively daily. This is rare in Tomato. Of course, it is only for reference. You have to watch it yourself to know the level. I'm really disappointed, or maybe it's just that my personal emotions are too heavy. The part where I was betrayed by the empress was really like a licking dog. Just give me a hug, cry, and kiss, and then I will forgive the betrayal, and the disregard for my own life and death, and the life and death of my family, for you. Entering into this troubled world, causing death, only to be betrayed in the end, without any scruples. How stupid. It seems that it is for the sake of family and country, but in the end, it turns out to be a bitch. I originally thought it was a good article, but it turned out to be so bad in the middle. I finally know why I can't get to 9:5.
The author is so talented! [Like] [Like] [Like] The plot has ups and downs, sometimes making people's blood boil, and sometimes moving people to tears. Although it is a time-travel drama, it thoroughly comments on the human feelings and sophistication of today's society! I sincerely applaud the author! [Like] [Like] [Like] I hope to see more excellent works from the author!
How can I put it this way? When I first read it, I felt that this book didn't have much of a feature [Thinking]. The title and the first dozens of chapters were mediocre, and the plot wasn't that attractive, and there was even a hint of a top-notch servant. But the subsequent plot after Zhou Yuan became a member of the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei began to attract people. The plot has ups and downs and is exciting. The portrayal of the characters in the book has also begun to become more vivid, especially the author's writing style which shocked me. The letter sent from Lin'an Mansion to his father-in-law made me feel like I was following the example of a master. The description of human nature is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is very different from those mindless novels that can dominate the world after mastering some modern skills. The protagonist in the book relies on his own wisdom and ability to climb up step by step, experiencing constant twists and turns. Watch him battle wits and courage in the court, lead the army to conquer the Central Plains, and arrange backup plans in advance when he is plotted, and gradually control his own power. You will definitely be deeply attracted after seeing it. It's really the previous chapters and the title that have delayed this book. I hope the author can update it more. I'm really looking forward to the plot behind it [Sending my heart] The writing of the characters is very impressive, and the plot is quite interesting, but the author is still not suitable to write those narrations of war scenes. Relying on thirty French cannons, he turned the 90,000 Donglu cavalry into lambs to be slaughtered. When he attacked Shenjing, he only used the people as cannon fodder and made the soldiers put down their weapons and let the people board the city. (How the people climbed the city wall empty-handed may be due to how high the city wall is per person, right?) People who know ancient history will feel that these wars and conquering cities and territories are written so easily, and they will feel that this writing is very childish, and it is also forced to be sensational, which is hilarious.
So well written. I thought it would be cliché, like other similar novels that only have a good-looking beginning to attract attention, and then immediately pull up the hips, but this book really surprised me. The author's writing skills are very good, the story is also very compact, with ups and downs, and the author is very good at describing the dialogues and expressing the characters' emotions. The characters in the book all have distinct personalities and are flesh and blood. The author is very good at describing human nature, and the story is very philosophical. Generally speaking, I have read the latest chapter of this book, which makes me feel that it is very rare to find such a good book. Moreover, the things that happen in this book are very diverse, including leading soldiers to fight for the country and the people, and personal love. The author also describes the applause very well and vividly, and is not cliché. This book is really rare. I personally think it is the pinnacle of its kind.
I read this title on the recommendation list several times and was persuaded to give it up. I read it because I was really short on books. I don't like harem novels, but I can write each woman to play the role she should have. Instead of being almost invisible after getting started, the harem is acceptable. Overall, I can get 5 stars on Tomato.
This is one of the books with the best language expression that I have ever read among the books currently serialized by Tomato. The writing brings in many historical and modern perspectives, and the protagonist's three views are correct. The plot is compact and not procrastinating. I hope that the writing will be even better in the future. The only failure is that there is no description of the martial arts levels, which should be divided into grades one to nine. There is another realm above the ninth grade. The description of cultivation is also vague. It only describes the cultivation techniques. I hope to keep it more exciting as it is written in the future.
It's really good. It's the first time I've read this type of novel and I'm following up on it. I can see that the author is very attentive. As a novel that boys love to read, it's qualified as long as the harem doesn't collapse and the combat power doesn't collapse. But this book is definitely at a higher level. The plot is smooth, the main line is clear, and the fat intestines are awesome👍🏻
There are 10,000 Hamlets in the hearts of 10,000 people. I have neither watched The Butler nor Qing Yu Nian. (Ps: I'm not saying that the above works are not good-looking, nor am I arrogantly pointing out the above works as a foil for literary criticism. I already know the names of the above works but I haven't had time to read them yet.) What I like about this work is that the writing is not procrastinating, and the communication between people is not too straightforward with modern language structures. The writing is not procrastinating. When the protagonist reaches a certain event, after explaining the important details before the event begins, he does not waste time writing useless details and plots, but jumps directly to the beginning of the event. From the climax to the end, it is smooth, natural and harmonious. When the key characters are needed, the past The supporting characters and newly emerged supporting characters and protagonists are very natural in the events. It does not make people feel that the characters are deliberately drawn out for the progress of the events. The entire writing does not include a certain character in many events or simply "forget" a certain character without writing about it like some authors. After an event is completed, the writing naturally leads to a plot, and as the article progresses, the next event naturally leads to the next event very smoothly.
The author's writing style is very good, and he vividly interprets the clichéd plot with rich words, turning decay into magic. The plot is full of ups and downs, and the story is gripping. The male protagonist's poems are the best in the art of war, and his songs sway his fairy wife and concubine, who is also a leader in the literary world. She is beautiful but has an undercurrent of murderous intent. Under the kiss, she seems to be drinking poisonous wine. The author is one of the few masters of classical Chinese that I have ever seen. His wording is extremely precise and extremely rare. While he is concerned about the plot, he also admires the author's writing style. It is really admirable and hard to contain. It's a rare good book on the theme of time travel and rebirth. Let's read it together. What I like most about this article is the writing. The foundation is very good. The plot is pretty good. It's neither a literary novel nor a witty one. To be fair, the storyline is average, but his writing style is particularly good and he describes the whole story very fully.
The early stage was just average, and it started to be exciting when the protagonist became a royal guard. It was a bit forced in some places but overall it was pretty good. At first, you will be dissuaded by the title of the book, but later on, you will find the power struggles and marching battles very exciting. The protagonist's character has almost no shortcomings except for being "lustful" (after all, no one is perfect). The layout of many important events is very deep, and the number of routines is the deepest among Quan Dou novels. Seeing that this dynasty in the middle period is set up with internal and external troubles, I don't know how to develop in the future to realize the ideal society of the protagonist.
