I think the male lead is really well-written, but one thing is that he acts a bit like a lecherous man when he sees the princess, which doesn't quite fit his image as a shrewd and calculating character, and it's a little off-putting. I know he might be trying to find a backer for himself, but it does feel a bit strange. It's not that the writing is bad, but I hope you can revise it a little later. Anyway, author, keep up the good work! 👍👍
The male protagonist, addicted to reading, in order to clear the Qin family's name as bandits, passed the imperial examination with top honors, infiltrated the imperial court as a fake undercover agent, and brilliantly extinguished the rebellion dreams of the Black Wind Stronghold! It's a rather unique story, and quite hilarious!
It's hilarious! I couldn't stop watching it in the middle of the night, so I got up and started watching it again.
The historical framework is decent; many events are reasonably set up, at least avoiding any feeling of being intellectually insulted. The comedic elements are also quite good. The only downside is that the protagonist is too much of a Sichuan/Chongqing type, like a simp turtle—purely a simp.
A masterpiece! The best online novel I've read this year. I laughed non-stop, following the updates daily. The writing is humorous, and I found subtle details hidden within the jokes, making it incredibly entertaining. It's a pure, mind-bending read—absolutely brilliant!
My goodness, this is so interesting and captivating! It's rare to find a book that doesn't feel tiring while following each update; the writing is just too good. Every character is so well-developed. I love it! 🥰🥰 [Please update more often!][Please update more often!]
It's very good-looking, the characters are intelligent, and it's funny and humorous. It's one of the better ones on Tomato TV, and it has a bit of a Fang Zhengyi and Zhu Houzhao vibe. Keep it up!
It's realistic and objective, with a clear structure. The last time I read such a hilarious novel was the last time (I was referring to Bai Xiaochun in "A Thought Through Eternity").
The writing is witty and humorous, the content is rich and varied, there is no systematic structure, and it is extremely thought-provoking. It combines the nonsensical plot of Stephen Chow with the tough and emotional scenes of Donnie Yen, and is equipped with a series of mind-bending schemes, one after another. It is a high-quality read for avid readers. The updates are too slow.
Many aspects are similar to "The Rogue Imperial Tutor," but it's written in its own style. There aren't any major flaws, just a minor one: the protagonist frequents pleasure boats and gets nosebleeds from looking at legs. Those women are willing to give themselves to him, but he remains a virgin.
