It's pretty good, worth a look. It's better than other novels where the protagonist is destined to die and survives for a thousand chapters. At least within the first fifty chapters, it shows that the protagonist has developed a hint of an indomitable spirit. Plus, with the marriage to the Xu family girl, there will be more ties, and the protagonist won't be thinking about dying anymore. The King of Qin managed to entangle himself until the very end 🤔
It's really good. The male lead desperately wants to die, but he's telling the truth. Zhu Yuanzhang keeps imprisoning him, but he just doesn't die. 🤦🤦 It's perfect for history buffs or those who feel a bit uneasy about the Ming Dynasty. 😘 Great!
Although the plot is familiar, the writing and content are excellent, making it a good book. The only problem is the slow updates! Author! Please! I'm so addicted! Please, just one more chapter, just one more! Please, sob sob sob.
The author's writing style is truly exceptional; it's so gentle and refined, yet it manages to make you vomit without you even realizing it. 🤔 The update speed is just too slow. My suggestion is that the author only eat two meals a day, work non-stop to finish the work, and then rest. [Note]
I said the Ming Dynasty was doomed, and Zhu Yuanzhang praised me as a prime minister for all time. Mo He'er's work With its dual-system elements and the element of death plea, the overall tone is light and fun, perfect for killing time. The characters are well-developed, with basic behavioral logic and some comedic exaggeration, each with its own unique characteristics. Four or five stars, a new book in its seedling stage, let's round it up.
A good book, not mindless, objective, and with excellent emotional and plot descriptions (if you can accept the inclusion of a system). It's already very good; I couldn't write something like this. This book is very good; it's not mindless hype, and the plot is quite reasonable. My five-star rating is gone, so this is all I can do.
The author doesn't seem to be a native of Tomato (a popular Chinese online literature platform) 🧐; their writing style is more like that of a Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) master. The logic and descriptive writing are phenomenal (you can check out chapter 88). It's truly amazing. This book isn't for those who don't think things through; it's for those who do.
This book has a low rating but is very good. I love this kind of story that has a bit of logic and is also very funny. The humor is seamlessly integrated into the story and doesn't feel out of place. It's very smooth. I think the most difficult thing about this kind of story is the emperor's character and the protagonist's obsession. The author has done a great job of setting up the emperor.
Having read up to chapter 23, I'm giving this new book five stars. So far, there aren't any major flaws. Maybe it's because I enjoy reading novels where "the protagonist desperately seeks death, but others, for various reasons, believe the protagonist is acting for the country/court (etc.) And therefore forgive the protagonist, even praising them and promoting them." I guess I'm just biased.
It was alright, quite enjoyable to watch. The protagonist is intelligent too. I hope there's no female lead, letting the protagonist be the only one to enjoy the spotlight, help Old Zhu, and be ruthless when necessary, instead of being indecisive and hesitant.
