I've given a five-star review, why isn't it showing up?
It was decent but so-so, though the scene of him writing poetry while drunk reminded me a lot of Joy of Life, except one took place in a brothel and the other in the imperial city.
Furthermore, the writing is solid, the descriptions are detailed and vivid, and it resonates with the beauty of classical literature, making one feel comfortable. Yes, I'm at a loss for words to describe it, but it's just a very comfortable feeling. I think investing in it is worthwhile.
Quite brilliant! This is the first time I've seen such an unconventional way of writing about Taoism. It completely tears apart the darkness of the feudal era, expressing both the evil of human nature and the goodness of the enlightened, corresponding to the idea that yin gives rise to yang, and adversity turns into prosperity.
It's getting better and better. The integration of poetry is very appropriate and the interpretation is also very accurate. Some of the viewpoints are very special and thought-provoking. The plot is full of ups and downs. There is a little sadness in the text, but more importantly, it is calm, happy and satisfying. The more you read, the more you will benefit. I look forward to the author updating more and bigger chapters soon.
These kinds of books are worth recommending. Sometimes, certain lines can be thought-provoking and give you pause for thought. The writing style is also quite good. The ensemble cast of characters each has their own distinct traits, making them memorable. If the plot doesn't falter later on, it can be considered a decent read.
Rate this book!! Why isn't such a good book rated?!
It's alright. There's no harem, just one female lead. It probably didn't generate much revenue and ended poorly. The plot is pretty good, with some exciting moments. The parts that copied ancient poems felt a bit awkward because they were so familiar. The parts explaining the Thirty-Six Stratagems and answering questions were actually quite good, with some useful information that was easy to understand.
It's a bit toxic at the beginning, but it gets pretty good later on.
This is the first time I've written a really serious book review. The book's framework is quite novel, giving me a taste of a new novel system. However, some parts are a bit redundant. Overall, though, it's a fantastic read. Through my eyes, I saw a person who was intolerable to the world's literature and customs, using his own power to constantly fight for the enlightenment of all beings in this world.
