So far it's not bad. I hope the author doesn't suddenly reveal her true gender while she's disguised as a man, and then she's suddenly madly in love with someone, or suddenly becomes a high-ranking official and then reverts to her female identity! I hope the author's setting is that her identity will never be exposed.
Excellent! The writing style is there, and the details are well done. Whether it's the details of farm life or scientific research, it's clear the author has put in a lot of effort. Five stars! Keep up the good work! [Learned something new]
This is a great book, a slow and steady read that keeps you reading. The characters are all quite well-developed. It's a pity the author had to end it abruptly due to data issues. If the story had continued as described in the synopsis, the data would definitely have improved. I came to this book through a homepage recommendation. I hope the author will have the opportunity to continue the story.
The female lead's family is so kind! I especially love her grandmother, who initially favored the female lead but gradually became kinder to her sisters as well. The ending was a bit of a letdown though 😂. Actually, the imperial examination questions in the beginning were a bit too theoretical.
So far, it's alright. I'm just curious about one thing. How did people conceal their identities during the imperial examinations? They had to be completely naked for body searches! 🧐🧐🧐 Some people are addressed in strange ways, like "old woman" or "old hunter." Can't you just say their name? It's so awkward. 🤦🤦
Why are all the novels I like still unfinished?! 😢
A good article is one that is heartwarming and engaging enough to keep reading.
Oh my god, I was so excited to finish reading it before the latest update, and I was planning to wait until more chapters were released before reading it again. I just found out today that it's already finished! This is the second book I've been reading that ended abruptly because of poor sales. Actually, I don't understand why some books on the charts have good sales either; it's just inexplicable.
This book is so well-written! There's no unnecessary clutter, the protagonist's goals are clearly defined, and the characters are portrayed with great detail. I only finished reading it around the end, and the ending was a bit of a shame, feeling rushed. I'm looking forward to your next work!
I found the author to have written this book very smoothly, with lots of details. The female protagonist's achievements were all earned step by step through her own efforts, without any special advantages. The plot also felt natural and not abrupt. I really enjoyed it and hope the author continues to improve!
