The Hard Life of a Transmigrator

The writing is excellent. Good writing avoids frequent transition words. If a paragraph begins with phrases like "because, therefore, although, but, after all, however, for example, if, that is to say," which sound like elementary school-level sentence construction, immediately skip it; it's a pure waste of time.

While seemingly a time-travel story, it's actually set in a fantastical Ming Dynasty where supernatural beings and ghosts exist. The focus isn't on the protagonist; he merely connects the various individuals and events. The novel presents an incredibly realistic yet bizarre and fantastical Ming Dynasty.

It's very interesting, somewhat like the style of Qidian, gradually unfolding its world view.

The pacing is too slow, which is why the score is so low. It doesn't get to the exciting part until around chapter 100. The pacing only picks up around chapter 60. But it has great staying power; now that I've read over chapter 270, the novel is gradually getting into its best.

Reading this book was more difficult than reading any other book for me. I just don't know when the protagonist will finally step up. Like that person said, the author's writing is superb, which makes me even more eager to see how he takes off later on.

1. The premise is good and easily attracts readers. The protagonist encounters an emperor obsessed with cultivating immortality amidst a supernatural resurgence. More public displays of power or attempts to elevate his status would be very effective.

You're right, but there's a small problem: —Who asked you? I mean, who—asked you? I stared intently at this void of information. Between us, in this long river of dialogue, zero people asked you. I opened my contacts, I flipped through questionnaires, I checked my history, I went to the streets, into the fields, knocked on every door, and asked everyone the same question: "Did you ask him/her?"

Listening to this book wasn't jarring, although some parts were inconsistent and unclear, the author's writing style was very delicate and good. It's still a good book, especially since you don't know where things will go next, avoiding the feeling of reading a formulaic novel and creating a strong anticipation for the upcoming plot. Hope you update more often, keep up the good work!

Similar to "The Chess Master's Tale," this book is written in a mature style. The key is whether the logical structure can hold up well later on; if it does, it can rival that other book.

I'm secretly giving myself a five-star review, please pretend you didn't see it!
