The writing is very good, but it's a pity that the original author is such a talented person [crying]
The writing is quite good, and the protagonist becomes more interesting after integrating his original soul. Although the part of the soul of modern people is not pleasing to the eye, and what I wrote above even affects the perception a bit, the protagonist does need to grow up and needs a reason to gradually integrate into the times. It is impossible to say that a modern person will somehow perfectly fit in with the life of an ancient family. Although the writing at the beginning is a bit confusing and affects the reading, it is reasonable and reasonable, and it gradually starts to look good later on, and it is meaningful. It is one of the few good articles.
It's great. It has a rich family background under feudal ethics. The description is great👍🏻It's rare to find someone I like.
Those maids were written too much [crying][crying] Half of the chapter was filled with them. I almost skipped them and read them all in one day. There will be less in the later chapters. Do a good job in your career and put more ink on conflicts and events. They are so bland and the descriptions are great [Send my heart][Send my heart]
Reading this book during the fishing period during the exam week instantly makes people forget about boring books and immerse themselves in this world. Different from other systematic and templated ancient texts, this book has a unique writing style and a narration that makes people think about it while reading. While reading, I was also curious about how the author accumulated such a vast literary reserve. When creating, one has to rely on the works of predecessors or chance encounters with masterful hands. No matter which one, the attainments are unmatched. So why don't you update hundreds of times a day, and submit the finished version? Since you, Xie Daolin, are like an oriole in a golden cage, you should give the readers the best to feast on. [Sneaky smile] [Sneaky smile]
The reason for the low rating may be that fast-paced, refreshing articles in vernacular are more suitable for Tomato. Come on, the author, as long as he keeps updating and there are no particularly bad points at the end, I will keep pursuing it.
This book has a very good starting point. Whether it is the study of historical materials and allusions, the understanding of Confucian culture, or the political game in the court, it has a complete system.
"The Interpretation of Flaws and Advantages in Ancient Rhythm" "Zhumen Opera" is like a slowly unfolding ancient scroll, outlining the unique style of the eldest son of the Xie family in Chen County in the long river of history. The author's writing skills are truly amazing. The prose is beautiful and elegant, like pearls falling on a plate, and every chapter is full of poetry. When describing the protagonist's talents and state of mind, the delicate brushstrokes seem to penetrate the page, allowing readers to truly feel his emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy. For example, when describing the scene of the protagonist reciting poems and painting at a spring gathering, "the ink rhymes with fragrance, the poetic heart is lingering, as if a breeze is blowing through the bamboo forest, and it is full of tranquility." A few words create an elegant and ethereal atmosphere, making the reader feel like they are immersed in it. However, the work also has some glaring shortcomings. First of all, the description of the harem is too long and takes up a lot of pen and ink. Although these contents show the life style of ancient families to a certain extent, they are too long and trivial, which makes the main line of the story blurred and makes readers easily feel tired during the reading process. Secondly, the male guards around the protagonist are almost uncharacterized. In ancient times, the eldest son of a family was often accompanied by guards with strong martial arts skills. They were not only the protagonist's safety, but also played an important role in his social interactions and actions. The lack of descriptions of them makes the background and character relationships of the entire story seem incomplete. In addition, the characters are relatively single. Although the protagonist has outstanding advantages, he lacks versatility and growth and changes. It is difficult for readers to see his inner struggle and personality changes when facing major challenges, which to a certain extent affects the appeal and depth of the work. Overall, "Jumen Opera" has its own unique charm, but it also needs to be improved in content structure and characterization to become a better work.
This book is very interesting so far. The author's writing skills are very solid. If I follow this pace, I will be enlightened sooner or later. I hope the author can persevere and have a promising future [Love]
It lacks a bit of elegance at the beginning, but it is still very exciting later on. The background of the family's resistance to the general trend is also very historically involved. The research is detailed and the political appeal is self-consistent. It is not logically perfect but it all comes together. I give it full marks.
