Well written! I love reading comments, and I feel the author really cares about the readers. The author quickly corrects any unreasonable or flawed points pointed out by readers 😄. But I also want to tell the author that your writing is truly fantastic 👍. Everyone has their own interpretation of Hamlet, and everyone's life circumstances and perspectives differ.
It's a great read. The male lead is a very capable and wise patriarch in feudal society, often making me forget he's a time traveler. From his childhood, his family was just an ordinary tofu-making merchant, without any local protection, making them vulnerable and insignificant. The slightest disturbance could destabilize the Lin family, and any powerful force could easily destroy them.
The plot is quite good and not clichéd; the writing is smooth, and each character has their own unique traits. However, I would like to make a suggestion: the protagonist sometimes uses very modern terms that take me out of the story, such as "conditioned reflex" and "experiment." 🤔 I hope the author will see this post 🙏
Everything else is fine, but the content is a bit heavy and complicated. It doesn't read like something written by a modern literary author, but rather like something written by an ancient Confucian scholar. It's complicated, troublesome, and annoying to read, so the low rating is normal. The author might want to check out other imperial examination novels.
The novel is great! It's well-structured, logically sound, and the protagonist is very well-developed—positive, optimistic, responsible, tactful, and composed; he leads his family and friends to success. I really love this kind of protagonist!
I've read half of it and noticed that many readers have pointed out the errors, but the author hasn't corrected them. Either the author only corrected that particular paragraph, leaving the same errors in the previous and next paragraphs uncorrected, but the plot is still quite good and worth reading.
Actually, it's not bad, 8.7, But novels are meant to be relaxing, and this one felt a bit stifling.
It's quite realistic and relatable! The male protagonist is intelligent, unlike other time-travel novels where he actually has fingers.
I've read quite a few imperial examination novels, but this one differs from others in several key ways. The family in this story, where the father marries into the wife's family, is generally considered a complete family in the conventional sense. The author doesn't delve too deeply into family emotions, just mentioning them briefly.
I thought it was very well written; I followed it all the way through. The plot was well-paced. It's rare to find a novel about the imperial examination system leading to officialdom, and I was really looking forward to seeing Lin Xiang'an dominate the court. But it's already finished! 😢😢 I'm looking forward to the author's next exciting story! 💕💕💕💕💕💕
