Meticulously Researched Historical Fiction
A twisting, suspenseful plot, a protagonist who's not an idiot, and something I can learn from while reading. Ideally, it should be close to real history.

In the fourth volume. A total of 4 million+ words. Come on 2024!
So far, it has been very good. Both the characterization and historical details are in place, and the dialogue between the characters is also quite ancient. My suggestion is to make it a little more ancient and explain the protagonist's advanced ideas in the way of the ancients. In addition, I don't know what the author means by writing the protagonist to be so frail and sickly. Personally, I still prefer that the protagonist has time-travel benefits, and his body is stronger than ordinary people. Two souls are fused into one body, so one body can exert twice the strength and reflexes of ordinary people. Such benefits are the most reasonable. I hope to see the protagonist go on the battlefield and be invincible.
The writing is good, but it is a bit idealistic. I feel that the author is getting excited while writing. Some of the content is too advanced, but overall it is good.
This is undoubtedly an excellent ancient novel. The author has a rich reserve of knowledge and the article is well written. The protagonist has a clear purpose and acts decisively from the beginning. According to my understanding, the book creates a "momentum" from the moment the protagonist prepares to rebel. This "momentum" can make his subordinates more united, make the people more willing to join them, make readers think that the protagonist will definitely succeed, and make us feel more comfortable reading and more willing to read on.
I have read several books. I have been following the first one for a year, and I have read another one. I am constantly updating. I don't like this one very much,
The logic is rigorous, the writing is smooth, the plot is exciting, and the intention is broad. Great article! Bookworms are welcome to check in 👍👍👍
It's very logical, not the kind of fanciful article. No wonder the author's several books have such high ratings.
It is recommended that the author attach a situation map when laying out the strategy. It does not have to be very precise, or even circle and draw an arrow. You also need to check the map when writing, right? While checking, I took a screenshot of the picture and drew it. It took me only a few minutes to draw it. Rabbit's house was so big that except for the locals, everyone else couldn't tell the east, west, south, and north, and they looked a little confused. The writing is very good, the various settings and layouts are logical and rigorous, and the description of human nature is thorough. I don't take it for granted. I highly recommend it.
There is no other time traveler who can travel within seconds. Taking into account the development of the times, starting from the perspective of an ordinary farmer is almost the same as the iron-blooded Can Ming. I didn't talk about benevolence, justice and morality to people who can't eat enough from the beginning.
I read a lot of novels on Tomato. But there are basically no novels that I can finish reading. No matter what type of novel, most of them are exciting in the early stage, but unstable in the later stage. And except for the assembly-line novels that are designed to be mindless and cool from the beginning, the novels all reveal the author's personal thoughts and colors. I have read a lot of articles about historical uprisings and rebellions recently, and they are all selected with strong logic and good writing. The entry points are all different. I am not familiar with history, and I only read the novels in general. It can be seen that the author has laid a lot of foreshadowing. Sometimes I don't quite understand some of the author's settings, but the protagonist is indeed a very charming character. The others are just too much to comment on. This novel is indeed worth reading
