I want high-quality historical fiction that’s engaging and doesn’t dumb things down or rely on brainless plots. It can be satisfying, but don’t treat readers like idiots. No stories like the one where the protagonist fools Cao Cao’s quartermaster about the provisions from the start, or those where a literati protagonist suddenly has the strength of a tyrant. They’re unoriginal and mindless...

It's indeed well-written; I was hooked from the start and wanted to keep reading. There aren't many satisfying moments, and it's even a bit frustrating, with the protagonist constantly being tricked and bullied—a true reflection of ordinary people's lives in ancient times? However, the more I read, the less clear the main plot seemed; I didn't know what the protagonist was trying to achieve.
I don't know what kind of work I've written, since this is my first time writing online novels. It was 250,000 words long and only 125 people were reading it. I felt really bad and frustrated at the time. This one is much better now, with several thousand people reading it. I hope everyone can give me more feedback, and I will try my best to make the content more exciting. Thank you so much!
I initially wanted a lighthearted read, but the author's writing style captivated me. The plot device wasn't overly powerful, but the writing was truly strong, and I finished it in one go. Highly recommended! This is the third Tomato book I've written a review for; my previous one suddenly became terrible. Please keep up the good work and don't let this book fall apart later on.
This is the true early Song Dynasty, the true nature of officialdom and human nature. It's so moving it'll make your eyes ache. While not as enjoyable as a light novel, it's profound. It also realistically portrays the mindset and understanding of a time-traveling human. It shows how an ordinary person, regardless of the era, would struggle to handle the complexities of high-level politics.
The novel is of high quality, a rare work that's worth reading for the brain. However, with over two hundred chapters and hundreds of thousands of words, the map hasn't changed and the characters are still on the run, making the pacing exceptionally slow. It's unlikely to reach a 9 in rating, which is a shame for such a good work.
This truly captures the atmosphere of the early Northern Song Dynasty, a genuine portrayal of the lives of people in the court, leaving the reader with a heavy heart. While lacking the exhilarating feel of a typical light novel, it is imbued with a profound sense of realism.
The book is indeed a bit long-winded, but it's really quite good, especially the chapters about doctors saving lives. I feel that although the success rate is a bit high, it's written like someone who has studied medicine. Unlike other novels where doctors only know two things: allicin on one hand and penicillin on the other.
It's a good read and worth reading.
The supporting characters are well-developed, the plot is above average, lacking truly satisfying moments, or perhaps those moments didn't quite hit the mark, but it's not particularly weak or ridiculous either. The main characters aren't as vividly portrayed as the supporting ones; I wonder if they'll be given more attention and developed more memorablely later on.
New author, new book, new genre. A time-travel drama with excellent writing; highly recommended.
