The Tale of Ming Yi

Are you all crazy? Such a good book gets a 6 out of 10? It has a great plot, logical flow, and excellent writing. Looks like fast-paced reading is for you guys. A treasure trove of a book, completely captivating, but of course, those with limited reading skills should probably skip it.

Seeing that the protagonist has a sixteenth uncle reminded me of Fan Xian's Wu Zhu uncle, and I thought the author was going to write a sequel to "Joy of Life". After reading a few more chapters, I realized it wasn't. The writing style was surprisingly good, and as a seasoned reader myself, I felt the author had a solid literary foundation. Author, keep up the good work and don't stop updating—this is a rare and excellent new book!

There are many brilliant parts, such as the Ji family's grief over Xingtian's disappearance for twenty years, and finally receiving news of his death. The pain of losing and then regaining, and then losing again, is heartbreaking. The article has many parts, a beginning and an end, and echoes each other, showing that it was written with care.

The subject matter is excellent, the writing is superb, and you can tell the author put their heart into it! The author's writing skills are quite impressive, the characters are vividly portrayed, and they all fit their respective identities. The depiction of officialdom is also very lively and engaging. I definitely want to keep reading. Oh, and it's also quite humorous, so I hope it stays interesting!

A rare and excellent book, though it would be even better if the descriptions were more concise and detailed. Writing must create a sense of immersion; in this case, the protagonist's strength and background seem insufficiently explained. The character, a powerful figure, lacks a touch of ruthlessness. The descriptions are overly ornate, lacking the raw emotion born from hardship and struggle. Nevertheless, it's still a rare and excellent book. A great read!

The protagonist starts as a black market merchant and uses business as his weapon to forge a unique path amidst the millennia-long conflict between the martial arts world and the imperial court. This "saving the country through business" setting is quite novel in the fantasy martial arts genre.

Four-star level!

Excellent writing, a rare find.

I don't understand why it's only a 6 out of 10; it should be at least an 8 or higher. I'm giving it 5 stars as a bonus.

This book deserves a score of 9 or higher!
