Things are going well so far, but the third son's family has already helped them earn money. For a farming family, that's only two or three taels a year, and they're still not satisfied. Even as the third son's family gets better, are they not going to separate from the family? Are they going to keep letting the elderly subsidize them? [What?]
This book is very well written. As a reader, I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the beginning, which was captivating and extremely interesting. It was so engaging that I couldn't put it down and wanted to keep reading. Author, please update soon; I can't wait! This book is well-written, but there are a few points to note.
It's alright, but why is the age listed so young? A five-year-old scholar? Seriously?
It's great! I've started reading it, added it to my bookshelf, and am looking forward to the next installment.
How to write a good story about someone embarking on an official career is a weakness that many time-travel web novels struggle with. This book, however, avoids the typical power struggle tropes of rebellion to become emperor or involvement in the royal succession, instead steadily continuing its bottom-down perspective as it "climbs the mountain."
There are a lot of helpful people around, and it seems like several of the people I'm chatting with aren't my age.
This book realistically portrays the hardships of the imperial examination system and reflects the various interpersonal relationships and incidents in officialdom. It can be read as a leisure book, and the characters are portrayed very realistically, making it worth reading.
It's great! Author, please keep going!
When to split up
The book is excellent, and the writing is very detailed.
