[Farming + court politics + infrastructure + meticulous research + multiple heroines, lots and lots of heroines]
On the first day after transmigrating as an evil lord, he’s assassinated…
“Villain! Die!”
“Miss! At least tell me why you’re trying to kill me!”
“Shut up! You don’t deserve to know!”
After narrowly escaping death, Xiao Youji finds himself facing a crumbling world: an impoverished fief, a treacherous court, rebellions, uprisings, riots, ravaging foreign tribes, and invasions by enemy nations…
But none of it can shake Xiao Youji’s determination to make money and gather beautiful women. What can cure his woes? Only money and beautiful women!
Don’t talk to me about a transmigrator’s grand vision. I don’t have one! I just want to make money! Even if I’m dealing with powerful aristocratic clans, I still want to make money!
Don’t call me a playboy. I am one!! Who wouldn’t want to revel in wine and women and enjoy the thrill of a royal carriage seeking out its favorite consort?
Anyone who gets in my way is dead! (Except the beauties.)
I’ll stop at nothing to get what I want! Shameless to the end! (Xiao Youji: Oh, come on~ Don’t praise me~ You’ll make me blush~)
The biggest flaw of this type of novel is the unscrupulous, rude and unreasonable use of one's own values to cover the original ones (this author is a little better, at least he uses the inertia of values to explain it, as some authors have an inexplicable sense of civilizational superiority). As everyone knows, only people have adapted to society, and society has never adapted to people.
The protagonist is too brainless and unattractive
The beginning is mindless enough. Knowing that he is notorious, he does not bring a guard. It is a forced setting for the plot, and I am too lazy to watch it.
After reading Chapter 2, I felt that it was not working. I had to pretend to be a gentleman.
