Looking for High-Quality Historical Fiction. No Mindless Power Trips or Brain-Dead Plotting
I want high-quality historical fiction that’s engaging and doesn’t dumb things down or rely on brainless plots. It can be satisfying, but don’t treat readers like idiots. No stories like the one where the protagonist fools Cao Cao’s quartermaster about the provisions from the start, or those where a literati protagonist suddenly has the strength of a tyrant. They’re unoriginal and mindless...

It's good. It suffers from a common problem in male-oriented novels: several female characters are attracted to the male lead, but their screen time isn't extensive, making it readable. I wonder if the author read the comments section; it seems there were some adjustments made, as this issue lessened significantly later on. Overall, the flaws don't outweigh the merits; it's a rare male-oriented novel where the career storyline takes center stage, with a relatively small romance subplot.
This is one of my favorite novels featuring prominent figures from the Republican era. The author's writing style is seamless and perfectly captures the atmosphere of that time. The interactions between the characters are very engaging (this is how I imagine intellectual youths of that era to be).
Actually, the book has many shortcomings, but it is still worth reading because it is compared with other books in the same field. Firstly, regarding the political aspect, some people feel there's too much politics involved, but personally, I think it's alright and acceptable. After all, the historical backdrop is the Republic of China era, and the protagonist is a Chinese student studying abroad.
Having been on Tomato Bookstore for so long, to be honest, this is the first time I've read such an excellent novel set in the Republican era. Not only is the protagonist's patriotism vivid, but the portrayal of the ensemble cast is also incredibly lifelike, making the reader feel very immersed. Although some plot points aren't entirely logical, I believe the author will be more meticulous in their future works.
I've finished reading it. Overall, it's pretty good. Novels set in this time period are quite rare. I hope this book doesn't have a female lead. The French section features Marie, but she's not portrayed very favorably. I hope the English section won't be like that. 💕 It's okay overall, but it's too short. Author, please update soon! Keep it up, author!
Excellent, excellent! This is the first time I've written a review for a book. The protagonist has a touch of intellectualism, perhaps reflecting the author's own personality. He's a character in history, quite timid, afraid to fight like a true warrior, yet deeply patriotic, donating supplies and such.
At first, I wasn't planning to read it because the male lead seemed like a plagiarist. However, after reading it carefully, I discovered that the author is very insightful. I admire the author's perspective and the books they've read. It's truly a great book, so much so that I couldn't help but give it five stars before even finishing it. The protagonist and his roommates are all passionate young people, which is excellent.
Don't listen to those who only read pure wish-fulfillment stories and harem novels. The author has a certain literary skill, and the characters he writes are very realistic, reflecting the powerlessness of many people at the bottom of society (which many readers find unsatisfying), but this is the real world. The expression of patriotism is also very rational and pertinent, and international students think it's quite realistic.
This book describes the various difficulties Zhang Xun faced in becoming a writer, while also offering his perspective on the hardships faced by students studying abroad during the Republic of China era and their concern for the future of the nation. (I feel like I'm doing a Chinese language test 😂) This book teaches us that only by being strong can we protect our rights 😎, and may the spirit of the people in the book inspire you ❤️❤️
It was quite good; I finished it in one day. However, I was afraid the book would be banned, so they killed off the main character at the end, which was a bit of a shame. But the British part was quite fun. It's a very good book, although it's really a pity that they finished it just like that. Sigh.
