The author is very meticulous, handling various details in the text very well, such as marriage, the imperial examination, and forms of address. However, it is precisely because of this attention to detail that the protagonist doesn't actually feel like a time traveler; instead, he seems like someone who has grown up here since childhood.
This book is really good; I hope the author can keep writing. This novel is a slow burn, which will really test the author's patience and writing skills. All I can say is good luck!
I stayed up all night to read the latest installment. The writing is superb and very realistic. I rarely come across such an amazing book. It definitely deserves a 9.999 Rating. As a bookworm for ten years, I have high standards for writing, and the logic in this book is also very sound, with no awkward moments whatsoever.
Honestly, it's very well written, and the plot is well-woven so it doesn't get boring. It's rare to see a book that's readable without a cheat code. There aren't many exciting moments, but it doesn't have many bad ones. The author is also quite talented; I think the poems he wrote are really impressive.
The writing is delicate, the plot is reasonable, the pacing is slow, and there are no major flaws. I've read up to chapter 24, and the only thing that bothers me is the author's frequent use of his own catchphrase: "Oh, oh, oh." I recommend it to readers who enjoy detailed reading. However, the main point is that the pacing is very slow, really slow.
It's a great read. The author's writing is excellent; they can recite poems and lyrics effortlessly, and they're all original.
The strengths and weaknesses are obvious. The strength lies in the author's deep understanding of ancient literature and local customs, enabling them to write historically accurate articles. The author's literary talent is also considerable, producing poems and lyrics that are quite presentable. The weakness is the somewhat bland and uninspiring plot.
I've only read a few dozen chapters so far, and it's not bad. The protagonist isn't burdened by national or family feuds and the need to rise above others. There's no love-hate relationship within the family, and no backstabbing among neighbors and friends. It's similar to a farming novel with an imperial examination system.
The story structure is clear, and the plot is reasonably conceived, unlike many time-travel novels that are outlandish. Excellent! Thumbs up!
It's a good book. The author focuses on details: historical details, details of officialdom, details of interpersonal relationships, and details of daily life. After transmigrating, one can't immediately become powerful and wealthy, nor can one rapidly develop technology. Resources aren't inexhaustible.
