It's a very good fanfic, but those who like historical novels may not be able to accept it. The main character is vividly portrayed in the article, especially the humorous and psychological description of finding the jade seal passed down from the country. The handling of the Japanese war after the war was not very good, including intermarriage and sending thousands of people to the palace. Haha, I won't watch it anymore.
It's really good. Although the novel follows the TV series, the insertion of a fourth prince who doesn't exist at all does not feel awkward at all, as if that's the way it is. In addition, the protagonist himself has no external features except for the prophet advantage and soap. It is very comfortable to watch [I learned it]
The first part of the film and TV series is a bit boring, but the second part is much better and quite good. I just don't understand that so many people don't like to watch killing Japanese. I feel that the author is not ruthless enough to kill everyone.
Dog licking articles, those who have this hobby are super good-looking 🤭
This book is an adaptation of history➕The Ming Dynasty. It is generally well written. As for whether the protagonist should be the emperor or not, I think it is okay. There are too many articles about emperors and the author is not a history researcher. If the book is about being an emperor, then what to do after becoming the emperor is nothing more than reform. A few sentences summarize the whole article and end it 🤦. As for being an emperor, the content can be written more broadly. The protagonist develops overseas, cooperates with the Ming Dynasty, etc. (If you don't like your personal thoughts, please don't comment.)
Have you considered writing a side story that is interspersed with the main text? After Zhu Di went down, he not only saw Zhu Yuanzhang, but also the emperors of all dynasties. Zhu Di was not afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang at all. Without Zhu Di to wipe Zhu Yunwen's butt, the Ming Dynasty was destined to die in the second generation, not to mention that there were still the twelve kings of Xiang who were burned to ashes.
It's pretty good-looking, but it's too similar to another one in which Zhu Gaoxu is dressed as Zhu Gaoxu. If you do things too well for the Ming Dynasty, you'll be in trouble with the throne. To be honest, there's no point in it. Why don't you go overseas as soon as possible? You can also go to Taiwan.
When you update, subtle flaws will be magnified, and the greenness of the writing will be criticized. When you update twice, a little patience is born, and the progress of the plot is paid more attention to. When you are on the third watch, the little praise starts to sound, and the number of dead harvests starts to decrease. When you update the fifth update, readers' support will spontaneously form, and the voices of praise will become louder and louder. When you are at the tenth watch, the Confucian debates are deafening, and the tolerant attitude is implemented both internally and externally. When you are twenty, you will have a place in the bookworm's memories. Even in your long life, your name will leave a dazzling trace. Updates may not solve all problems, but more than 90% of them The problem all comes from insufficient updates.
The writing is very good, but the author is not very good. One or two chapters a day is enough for anyone to read. If the people from the Three Kingdoms next door see it, they will think we are looking down on it. Hurry up and update a chapter, and give each of these readers who urge me to update a chapter.
It's not too much to give yourself a good review, right?
