This somewhat hybrid novel is still readable, but the protagonist's battles are always fought with fewer troops, which makes it a bit risky. Fighting on horseback without spears or lances, using only a sword, is quite something. Hopefully, it will improve in the future. 🤔
Yes, it's a template from the late Sui Dynasty, somewhat reminiscent of the Yi Ding (易鼎) period.
A super engaging novel about destiny and luck, it has a similar feel to "Yi Ding".
It's well-written, somewhat like a Shinto-style dragon-fighting story, but this time the protagonist is a human emperor. Good luck!
It has the feel of the fantasy novels my dad likes to read; the language and writing style are very refined. Although the story is a bit cliché, it's still enjoyable.
With advanced Qi observation skills, physical fitness increases, and lifespan can reach 200 years.
The plot is alright, though some plot points feel a bit forced. Overall, it's a good novel!
At first, they said you couldn't fight the Hidden Dragon, but now anyone can fight it, and even the Liang Emperor was directly refined. With the protection of the nation's fortune, you can challenge kings and nobles, even those with hidden talents. If you rebel and a cultivator who was originally poised to unify the country comes after you, you'll be eliminated.
Well written, similar to the one about dragon energy.
It's getting better and better, but it's a bit too much for a male protagonist in a power struggle novel to only have one wife 😄, I'm a woman.
