It's mostly slice-of-life, but the writing is quite good. The second time traveler in the middle is a major flaw in time travel novels, but he's not described much, and he's killed off quickly, so the major flaw becomes a minor one and doesn't affect the overall story much. Overall, it's a pretty good book, considered one of the better ones on Tomato. Four-star review!
Good, it's written realistically, not too exaggerated. I really like novels like this, and I don't like those flamboyant, overpowered, omnipotent novels!
A great book, more readable than Sun Shan's essay on passing the imperial examinations, flowing smoothly and without being tedious. There are no villains in the traditional sense, it's heartwarming, and has no major flaws. Even the fact that it's not the only time traveler, which some might consider a flaw, is not my opinion; the comparison is valid.
The protagonist is a minor character from the original novel (Wang Gou'er, Liu Laolao's grandson), who meticulously takes the imperial examinations. The author writes each stage of the story with depth and originality, making this an excellent read, a true imperial examination novel disguised as a classic. There are no cheat codes; the protagonist is just an ordinary orphan in the 21st century who achieves everything through his own hard work and perseverance, making it very captivating.
It's a good read, with good writing and a smooth storyline, which is why I kept reading. The main reason is that the author keeps emphasizing the protagonist's ordinary appearance; from chapters 80 to 100, almost every chapter emphasizes this, and after chapter 100, it appears about once every five or ten chapters 🤦🤦🤦
I finished reading it in one go; it was easy and the plot was fresh and fast-paced. I hope the author continues to improve the writing style and sentence structure. Although the author modestly calls it a "flowing" story, it's actually much better; you can see a lot of progress later on.
One word: Absolutely brilliant! I haven't actually read *Dream of the Red Chamber*, I only know Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But I love the characters they, and everyone else, created by the author even more. Everyone gets the best ending. I want to see the extra chapters! I also want to read Wang Xin's story!
There's no romance, nor is there any deliberate portrayal of stupidity or wickedness. It's just ordinary daily life during the imperial examinations. There are no cheat codes, it's ordinary but delicate, and the characters' development has causes and consequences, without any sudden stupidity.
You can continue reading about Zhao Yiming's journey back to the modern world to sell snacks. It's great! I love it, and I hope the author will update more often! 😄
It's well-written, logically sound, and has an exciting plot. Although the protagonist's life seems rather ordinary, the book still has all the necessary advantages—like a cheat code—so it doesn't leave you feeling frustrated or like, "Why is the protagonist so powerful yet there's a villain coming to mess with him?"
