It's quite good, and I really enjoy watching it. The plot is fast-paced, exciting, and full of political intrigue. But the protagonist kills so many people to show his loyalty, yet there are still people in the capital who don't know who's behind him? Doesn't that seem a bit illogical?
He's been honored with a place in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. The male lead in this story is ruthless and merciless. It's been a long time since I've seen a male lead who kills so satisfyingly. Fortunately, the Grand Chancellor values Chen Yan highly, otherwise, his later schemes would have been enough to kill him several times over.
It's good. The author used quite a few references, and while I used to really dislike authors who relied heavily on references, now I understand why. What I disliked were authors who used references haphazardly, especially those that were clearly inappropriate and forced in, making the reading experience awkward. However, this author's writing is excellent; the references didn't feel forced at all, and they didn't overshadow the main character. Thumbs up!
It's good, I like it, and I'll keep watching. I hope it stays as concise and clear as ever. I was too optimistic. The first few chapters were enjoyable, but the rest was just like other time-travel stories set in ancient times—all about showing off and getting slapped in the face.
There isn't much political intrigue; in the early stages, the characters are quick to seize opportunities and catch their prey, satisfying the needs of readers who enjoy fast-paced, exciting stories. It also subtly weaves in side plots, creating a pacing and engaging narrative that keeps readers wanting more. It's enjoyable to read, yet also offers a certain depth and cultural richness.
Without the initial frustration and restraint, it jumps straight into the "feel-good" phase. There are no explanations or embellishments because it's the early stage. It's a historical fantasy novel with no artsy flair, but there are still occasional praises and compliments on the protagonist's intelligence.
It's considered above average among political intrigue novels, with a bit of a villainous element. The protagonist has questionable values but is very realistic. The characters are actually quite good, perhaps because they are inherently of a different kind. They are definitely no match for Chen Yan, who suddenly arrives in this world and latches onto a powerful figure.
The author's depiction of history is also quite meticulous. He not only skillfully integrates historical events into the story, but also presents a more realistic and three-dimensional world through the protagonist's perspective and experiences. This combination of history and fiction allows readers to feel the weight of history while enjoying the pleasure of reading.
Super good! It's full of jokes and laughs, the main character has a charismatic personality, the characters are well-developed, and while there are occasional overpowered protagonists, they don't look down on anyone. They treat their own people, regardless of gender, very well, but are much more ruthless to their enemies, regardless of gender.
This is what a truly satisfying story should be like. The protagonist transmigrates and immediately finds a powerful backer. Whether he's ambitious or not, the Grand Chancellor can give him the life he wants. Even without a disastrous start, the protagonist's beginning is actually quite enjoyable.
