It's a good read, and I really enjoy it. The male lead is well-written. I hope there's no romantic pairing, or at least not too much female lead involvement. Whenever I read a novel about the imperial examinations, I immediately drop it after the male or female lead appears.
It's a great read. The male lead is clear-headed and rational, with a strong sense of right and wrong. Although he has parents who hold him back (a weak and incompetent mother and a blindly obedient father), extremely biased grandparents, and a bloodsucking uncle's family, he maintains his integrity, speaks and acts with clarity and logic.
It was great, so satisfying, I actually finished the whole thing (no romance). The male lead is such a charming person, I love this character so much! The male protagonist remains calm, composed, decisive, and efficient no matter what he encounters or faces. It seems like nothing in this world can defeat him, no difficulty can overcome him.
It seems like many protagonists in ancient times, no matter how smart and capable, find it difficult to study. Plus, there are often difficult or biased elders in their families. I don't see much of the protagonist studying; it's mostly family squabbles and people trying to bring them down.
It's quite good. It fits the character setting of a modern person who travels back in time. They are not bound by the concept of filial piety, nor are they bound by inexplicable family ties. They have mouths, know how to talk back, and are shrewd. It's not frustrating to watch, but there are too few of them.
It's good. I quite like the male lead's character, because he doesn't immediately treat the original owner's parents as his own children, which makes it very relatable. Especially his way with words; every sentence he says is spot-on, quite impressive.
I especially enjoy reading time-travel novels about taking the imperial examinations, but I find those without a system less satisfying. After so many years of schooling, a novel should be enjoyable and exciting. This author included a system, but didn't overshadow the protagonist's exceptional abilities; instead, the system served as a catalyst to highlight the protagonist's brilliance. Superb! 👍🏻 I love it! 👍
It's a really good read, I absolutely love the male lead. He's truly the most decisive and principled character I've ever seen in a historical novel by Tomato (a popular Chinese web novel platform). I also really like the male lead's career path.
It's better than other imperial examination essays. The others were all drawn out and hesitant, afraid of this and that, which was really frustrating. This one is alright; the confrontations are quite satisfying.
It's incredibly beautiful, I love it so much, five stars!
