The Rise of an Empire: I Extend the Ming Dynasty by Seven Hundred Years!

At first, I thought it was set during the Chongzhen era. I never expected it to be a fictional historical account, and it was written quite reasonably, unlike some novels where the imperial court did not close the country off from the world, yet there was not even a heavy industrial base.

It's very well written, one of the best on Tomato Book. In the historical war genre, the protagonist is intelligent, the logic is sound, and there's only one minor flaw so far that doesn't affect the overall message. The author does a great job of portraying the characters' psychology, and the style reminds me of a book I read before. The only downside is that the updates seem a bit slow, author, keep it up! [Learned something]

It's not bad, I can keep reading. It's better than 90% of Tomato's books. Technological development is too slow. You have the technology and blueprints, but you just can't get it to work. I don't know what they're thinking.

It's truly a masterpiece of the fantasy world set in the Ming Dynasty. The vividly portrayed characters are captivating, a gem among gems that only gets better with each viewing, like polishing a jade. The plot is exhilarating, the protagonist is righteous, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys this genre. You definitely won't be disappointed! ❤️

I watched some videos today, some about hardship, some uplifting, and it suddenly dawned on me why I enjoy reading historical fiction. If you disregard the author's writing style and descriptions, the social landscape depicted—where people are full of hope, there are no class divisions, and the upper class benefits the lower class, and the lower class praises the upper class—is something I yearn…

Among similar books, this one is quite good. It belongs to the farming genre, focusing on developing technology and industry, which is much better than those that start with a bunch of system soldiers!

Although it was slow at the beginning, it really got exciting later on. It's logical and has good illustrations, which is great. It's not a mindless wish-fulfillment novel. Although there is a system, it doesn't seem to be useful. No, it seems to be useful for climbing the technology tree. The protagonist is ruthless and doesn't care about family ties in this life. He is not bound by family ties.

As a bookworm of over a decade, I highly recommend this book. The only drawback is that due to its alternate history setting, the character development is quite complex, which might be tiring for some readers. However, it's definitely one of the top-ranked books in its genre and well worth reading.

The content was quite good and suited my taste perfectly. The author is a treasure; he even included illustrations! He's one of the very few authors I've read who uses illustrations. The plot is quite engaging and not boring, and it's also very logical. Those who are curious can come in and take a look. This is almost a day's reading time, you have to believe me. The author's accompanying illustrations are for those who are curious, come and take a look! [Learned][Learned][Learned][Learned]

The book's rating is low; there aren't many books like this, but it's well-written, and the plot is like a comic book—it's enjoyable, especially the titles, which are very catchy. Titles like "World War" are particularly engaging. Other novels seem to write slice-of-life stories with similar titles.
