No Romance, Imperial Exam Stories, No Cross-Dressing, Preferably Starting in Childhood
I want books like The Farmer's Imperial Exam Journey: My Dad Turns Out to Be the Ultimate Study Machine. Why are imperial exam novels almost always about women disguised as men? I'm okay with a woman becoming a man, but I can't handle an imperial exam story where she's just pretending to be one!

The exams are fiercely competitive, after all, and with a different body of knowledge, someone who time-travels back isn't likely to sweep all six exams with ease.

The writing is good, especially the part where the protagonist helps solve the case. If a child commits a crime, he should be killed. It's so well written. Children who commit crimes in real life should also learn from their ancestors.
It's very interesting, there are almost no top stories, and I don't like intrigues, which is good. There are so many weird people and things. The author takes care of the breast glands of female readers. It is recommended to read.
This is the first time I read a book without any conspiracy, but it makes me want to put it down. The male protagonist's education journey can be said to be smooth sailing all the way to the peak of life, but the feelings of ordinary people in it are touching. The love of the elders in the family, the love of brothers' help, and the love of classmates growing up together. He is really a young man in bright clothes and a horse, living up to his good times. The author talks about the profound language and culture
I have read at least hundreds of novels similar to the imperial examination in the past few years. This novel can be said to be okay. There are no top relatives in the past, nor did the protagonist's family help him grow up when he was a child. The protagonist is busy dividing the family. The protagonist knows how to be grateful, and in fact, this was the case in ancient times. It is not just him who wants to build a scholarly family and a famous family. It must be that the family works together, someone makes money and someone studies. The author should be a female, and the description of life is relatively detailed. Although there are some references from others, the writing is very good, but it is a pity that the protagonist does not have any force. So far, the arrangement of this book is quite acceptable. Although there are some minor flaws, it is okay overall.
Not bad, not bad. I finished reading it in two days. It is the best book I have ever read on imperial examinations. The protagonist and his friends support each other and make progress together, which is really touching. The protagonist is very admirable whether he is an official or a person. The protagonist makes good suggestions for the court, does practical things for the people, is knowledgeable and strategizing, and is deeply loved by the people. The most heartwarming thing is that Daqing's officialdom is clear, the country is stable, and there is not much intrigue. Although the civil and military officials have some minor flaws, they all have their own opinions on major issues. All in all, I really like this book 🥰🥰🥰 I hope to work hard to update more!!!
The writing is smooth and the plot is fascinating. It is an excellent novel about the struggle of studying in ancient times. Thank you, the author!
It's super good-looking. It's the best-looking imperial examination essay I've ever seen. But it's updated too slowly. Even a landlord's cow wouldn't dare to be so slow. Author, please send me your address and I will send you some specialties!
Compared with other champions from poor families, this one is written more beautifully. There is not so much selfishness, and there are not so many bad people. The king is not jealous, and the ministers serve the country. Many qualities are written in a particularly beautiful way, and there are not so many dark sides.
It's very good to read. I never post book reviews, so I have to give a good review. I stayed up late to read it. The author wrote it faster and faster.
The author has created a male protagonist who has feelings for his family and country, ambitions, family ties, friendships, teacher-student relationships, classmates' friendships, friends' friendships, love, love for the people, etc. It makes my blood boil when I watch it. He lives up to his years and his wife, and is a perfect male protagonist.
