It's very well written, not exaggerated at all. And you're the first person from Guangdong I've seen write a novel, author! The scenes feel so familiar. I love it! Keep it up, author, you're amazing!!!
If time travel to parallel worlds were real, it would probably be like what the author describes. This imperial examination novel is more realistic, with many authentic details, such as the pronunciation of the official language in the present world (Mandarin) being different from the official language used in the parallel world's imperial examinations.
It's so well written, but I finished reading it in a little while.
The young male protagonist is filial, and his family members aren't all portrayed as perfect; the story is realistic and loving, without being exaggerated or made omnipotent just because he's a time traveler. It brings out a simple kind of happiness 😊 Especially since it's my first time reading a Cantonese-style writing style, it feels very down-to-earth to us Cantonese people. I liked it even though I had some prejudice against it 🤭
I learned from the comments that the author has started a new book, so I specifically came to read it. I really like the author's writing style, keep it up! 😄😄
Currently, this book is considered one of the best among Tomato's imperial examination novels. The content is relatively reasonable, and there are no bizarre "golden fingers" (advantages that grant unrealistic advantages). The characters are well-developed, and overall it's reasonable (although it's too short so far).
I'm following both books; the author's writing is fantastic. Keep it up, I'm eagerly awaiting more updates! Keep it up! I cleared it out again after a few days 🤭
The details are very well described; it shows great care and attention. ❤️ The male lead is 1.61 Meters tall, with triangular eyes and dark skin; the female lead is a 200-pound (100 catties) overweight woman. Goodness, I don't know what the author was thinking.
The author's writing style is fluent, and the details are quite well-written. However, it's a bit tedious, the pacing is too slow, and the progression is frustratingly slow. It's suitable for patient readers who enjoy slice-of-life stories; those looking for fast-paced, exciting narratives should proceed with caution.
This book is totally my cup of tea! It's the only 5-star rated imperial examination novel. The characters the author creates are so realistic; every time I read, I feel like I've truly entered an ancient rural world. Every character is so real and well-rounded, whether it's the protagonist's family or the occasional passerby. With just a few strokes, they're vividly portrayed.
