The author's writing is much better than other novels of the same genre, and it's clearly based on research on imperial examination essays. The writing style is also quite good, and the plot is very original, unlike those "a sister in debt" stories. It saved my eyes (this is the first time I've written such a long book review).
The most surprising book I read this year! The protagonist's character is so great; it's been a long time since I've read a book with such decisive methods, yet not just someone who's all about killing. So cool!! It's a really interesting story, I highly recommend checking it out. Also, does the author have a female lead? Actually, I'd prefer no romantic pairing.
This is a great book whose title doesn't do it justice. I didn't want to read it at first because of the title, but I had nothing else to read, so I just flipped through the table of contents and read a few chapters. To my surprise, it was quite well-written. The male protagonist is decisive and ruthless, and he has a cheat ability plus his own hard work. The story structure and narrative style are rigorous, and it deserves a five-star rating. I never expected it to end like this.
It's indeed well-written, but there's a slight regret. The main plot is about becoming a literary sage, and as someone who enjoys fantasy novels, I initially thought it was something like becoming a Confucian or Taoist saint.
Very good. Unlike other imperial examination novels where the protagonist doesn't hold grudges, this protagonist settles his scores on the spot.
This is a comfortable book to read. The protagonist is resourceful and decisive, handling every situation with ease. Because of his mother's situation, I hope he grows old with only one person, dedicating the rest of his life to achieving fame and success, leaving a lasting legacy, and making his time-traveling adventure worthwhile! Happy New Year to the author! Keep updating! 🤭!!!
This is the real deal when it comes to satisfying imperial examination novels!! After reading so many stories about the hardships faced by peasant children taking the imperial examinations, suddenly finding this kind of book is so refreshing! I almost didn't open it because of the title and cover. It's great!!
The writing is very good. Although the villains and cannon fodder characters sometimes feel like they're deliberately nitpicking, overall it wasn't too bad, at least I thought it was alright. It's just that the ending felt too rushed; it ended right after the exam! Why didn't they write more to extend the story? 🤔 However, it's also possible that the author wasn't good at handling court intrigues and simply stopped there, which is fine; at least there's no filler content.
This is the first time I've read a novel with a male protagonist, and the first time I've learned about the imperial examination system. Studying in ancient times was incredibly difficult! There weren't any messy romantic subplots. The princess might have liked the male lead at the end, but the author glossed over it with a few simple strokes, making the ending perfectly fitting. Continuing would have been redundant. It was excellent! Highly recommended!
In terms of its narrative style, tracing a journey from the present to the past, this is excellent. It's particularly adept at depicting the Ming Dynasty's imperial examination system, everyday life, and literary style! The inclusion of classical Chinese is perfectly acceptable, given the prevailing social climate of the time. While the daily details are somewhat rambling, they don't feel padded.
