Historical Fiction! The Characters Must Have Brains!!
Are there stories where a modern person transmigrates back to ancient times and uses their profession to make a difference? Like a doctor who transmigrates to the past and advances medicine within the limits of the era, or a modern special forces expert who transmigrates to ancient times and builds an army using modern ideas. Or just invent penicillin or something. From the start, they pull out an AK-47.

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...

The protagonist's portrayal is average, and the supporting characters' portrayal is relatively perfect. The quality is very high among many historical time travel series. The progress of the article is a bit fast, the plot is relatively good, and there are more laughs. I hope the author will work hard and keep up the good work Is it okay to update ten times a day? I feel like there are ants in my heart [fear][fear][fear]
Li Jinglong's reputation is not good and no one writes about him, but I stole a book and portrayed him so well that he suddenly opened up a new track. He's awesome.
I'm an old fan. Li Jinglong's writing in the last book was particularly brilliant. It felt funny and had a strong atmosphere. At that time, I thought that Li Jinglong could also be the protagonist. I didn't expect that I would wait for this book. Thief, thank you for your hard work and save your life for a few years. Hurry up and write more frequently. Please update more frequently.
After finishing the game, I feel that it is better than the previous book "Heritage of the Ming Dynasty". It is not only the refreshing feeling of time travel and counterattack, but also the author's accurate restoration of the extreme oppression of the Hongwu Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion, ruthlessness and imperial power are all coming to you from every line of the book, making people tense while reading. You can truly feel the difficulty of surviving and planning under this iron-fisted emperor. From the protagonist's fearful survival at the beginning of the time travel, to the forbearance and dormancy after recognizing the situation, to the plan for the camp step by step, the trajectory of mentality change and growth is clear and solid. There is no sense of suspension of cheating all the way, but more of a forbearance and a hidden edge of planning that assesses the situation. In the cracks between nobles, undercurrents in the court, and the division of feudal kings, you accumulate strength bit by bit and reverse your destiny. Every step of breakthrough is real and tangible. The most outstanding thing about the book is undoubtedly the delicate description of human heart and human nature. The intrigues in the court, the interest ties between allies, the trial games between opponents, and even the complex emotions between monarchs, ministers, colleagues, and relatives are all vividly depicted. There is no absolute good or evil, only positions and choices, vividly describing the struggle of human nature in the machinations of troubled times. The author uses solid historical skills to connect the protagonist's forbearance and layout along the way, including the tense and brain-burning battle of wits and the hearty feeling of breaking the situation against the odds. If you prefer historical and political novels with depth, tension, and solid characters, "The First Duke of Ming Dynasty" is definitely worth reading.
The thief is a remnant of the Ming Dynasty! I really like it!
The best historical time travel novel on Tomato. No refutation will be accepted. Any Already rated 9.5 Points. It's awesome. Highly recommended. Just watch it. Drink freely without any poison.
As engrossing as the first book, the charm of historical fiction is to make amends and correct mistakes. The first turning point in the history of the Ming Dynasty was to confirm Zhu Yunwen as the heir, and Lan Yu and other generals were discontinued. His identity was not the most legitimate. The Zhu family refused to accept it. In order to consolidate the power, they often resorted to stupid tricks.
Very good, very good! The Thief must be written well! Write quickly! Don't cut it off or end it. I came here from Brother Xi. I hope Zhu Biao will not die early and can successfully succeed to the throne, and then pass it on to Brother Xi. This will allow the old man to live a happy old age, and Li Jinglong can also become the Duke of the Three Dynasties, which will fit the title of this book, the First Duke of the Ming Dynasty! Thief, you have become shorter! [Holds face] It's actually a bit bad! Historical texts prefer endings where everything is explained clearly and do not accept open endings. Although this is the first time I have read a novel about the rebellion of Lao Zhu, the transformation of the protagonist is acceptable and not so abrupt. The most uncomfortable thing in the whole book is when Lao Zhu died. I really felt angry. The majestic Hongwu Emperor actually... After reading it, I found that it was completely different from what I had imagined at the beginning. Perhaps due to the influence of the first book, I thought it would be a wise king and a wise minister, running in both directions like Yang Ling and Zhu Houzhao. Old Zhu and Xiao Zhu are no longer completely Wei Guangzheng, and have a bit of a dark feel. My humble opinion, if you don't like it, don't comment! Good book, good book! Five-star recommendation!
It's really good. It's a rare masterpiece among time-travel novels. Li Jinglong's character traits are described very clearly, and it's not overly modernized like traditional time-travel novels. It's step-by-step, and it's a masterpiece.
First of all, let me state that this is my first time reviewing books. If you have different opinions, your opinion shall prevail. Rating 9.5, I think Zaoyang Persimmon deserves it. This book is very "moist", with clear main line, over-smoothing, multiple foreshadowings, reasonable plot, full characters, and full of emotions. It can be said to be vivid and vivid. It is the best book among the online articles I have read in ten years. Compared with the previous book, the writing style has been greatly improved. I would like to complain that the 9.4 Rating of the previous book was very weak, which is not a bit worse than this book (the book I read first, I have only read 100 chapters of the first one). The priorities in the article are clear, and there is no conflict with each other. From beginning to end, the logic is reasonable, and there are many foreshadowings to hint at the subsequent chapters. It describes human growth, human regrets, the banquet that never ends in the world, and the jealousy, ruthlessness and decisiveness of the Tian family. The book also has some small pitfalls and loose ends, but overall it is quite good. It does not give people a feeling of overpowering, and even leaves regrets, but it is more fascinating and makes people feel aggrieved but powerless. People can't help but abandon the book and smash it into the store, but they are attracted by the plot and can't bear to leave. Final summary: Good book, feel free to dive in.
