I have read so many books, and this is one of the rare ones that I feel like leaving something behind after reading it. There are no cliche plots or embarrassing toe-tapping scenes. The writing is very real.
It's a good book to relieve stress. I'm too lazy to pick and choose. There is no plot that I particularly hate about giving away girls and accepting girls. The female protagonist is not a flower vase. She has the ability and strength, and the male protagonist also has the ability and strength.
Overall, I don't hesitate to do it. Sometimes I feel that the villain's character setting is too serving the plot and setting off the halo of the protagonist. The third child can achieve his current status not only because of his obvious ambition, but also because he is very scheming and basically has capable people around him to assist him.
The latter part is very interesting. The first words may have been written a bit ideally by the author because he wanted to give readers the feeling of a critical attack at the beginning of the chapter. For example, the eunuch can bring a few trusted people and directly press the male protagonist to drink.
The writing is really interesting. Nowadays, online time travel is basically either a system or a cheat, but it is still rare for the protagonist to play with imagination like this. The protagonist is a special soldier but has not shown any special skills.
Finally, it's not the kind of game where women are recruited everywhere in the name of fighting for hegemony and unification. The female protagonist is a general and will not hold back the male protagonist. But the male protagonist's ability to lead the army can learn more from the female protagonist. After all, it is also a large-scale and ancient military.
King Yan reminds me of Zhu Di, but this one should be more powerful than Zhu Di.
No matter how the princes fight, some classes and etiquette still exist. It is impossible for anyone to challenge the majesty of the royal family. Even if they go against the will, it is still a matter of face.
Does the third child have that much power? He actually killed someone in front of me and asked his subordinates to force him to execute the prince.
The protagonist kills decisively but does not kill innocent people indiscriminately. He is very good at using people. He has clear rewards and punishments but is not holy. It is the kind of smart and refreshing novel that I like to see. I don't know if he is going behind the scenes, but I still hope to be on the battlefield. Personal combat is no problem, but commanding may still be a bit boring.
