I don't know why this book has such a low rating. I can confidently tell you, fellow readers, that it's a good book. Since fast-paced novels have taken over the mainstream market, my initial enjoyment of reading has turned into a situation where there are no books left to read.
The author's writing is superb, and the subject matter is one I've never read before. It's so well-written! There are no cheat codes, no special abilities, nothing at all. It starts with a high school student transmigrating and changing the future solely based on his modern knowledge of history. It's incredibly well-written.
I could also see the synopsis, which made me think it would be quite long, but it turns out it's only the beginning of the second emperor's story, and he hasn't even ascended the throne yet. I think it might be a rather lengthy piece. I hope it continues to be as exciting as ever. It's been a while since I've read this.
Too little information, can't see anything! So far, there aren't any major flaws 😓 (although there are some extreme cases, like seizing land and breaking off engagements, they're quickly refuted, there's no forced humiliation or repeated insults)! Overall, pretty good!
Honestly, I've been a book reader for almost 20 years, and it's rare to finish a historical novel like this. I read it from beginning to end; the story was full of twists and turns, and it wasn't boring at all. It's definitely a good book.
In the Chenghua era of the Ming Dynasty, the year of Jiawu, on the first day of the winter month, the Emperor dispatched officials of rites to offer sacrifices to the spirit of Grand Tutor and Prince of Yue, Xu Wensheng, saying: Alas! Heaven sent forth a hero, his spirit bestowed upon Shandong. With the bearing of a lone crane, he rose from humble beginnings.
The content is exquisite; it is a rare and excellent book.
Although some plot points are clichéd and tedious, featuring the "pretending to be weak while actually being strong" trope, the book is still thrilling, logically sound, and tells the complete story of the protagonist's life. The emotional impact of this closure and conclusion is unmatched by other books; such a book is truly invaluable.
This is rare among time-travel novels set in the Ming Dynasty, and arguably even rarer among ancient time-travel novels, as it develops its story within the context of its historical period, rather than simply stating how wonderfully things progress after the protagonist gains a powerful cheat ability.
It's well-written, with a brisk pace, and worth reading.
