It's well-written, but it feels a bit like the protagonist is a local, not a time traveler. After all, even though he's an unofficial researcher of classical Chinese literature, he should know some ancient materials, such as policy essays and water conservancy, which he could use as a reference.
No awful relatives, no melodramatic plot twists, just the protagonist's own hard work, his parents' unwavering support, and the help of his relatives. He focuses on the imperial examinations, and the heartwarming daily life is very relaxing. 😄
Well written, this is indeed a different kind of imperial examination text. The imperial examination process is very detailed. The author must have put a lot of effort into researching. I did learn something from it. I give it a five-star rating!
A fine essay for the imperial examinations... Rich in allusions and excellent in its portrayal of human nature...
The book was good; the beginning was quite enjoyable. However, I didn't like the wife he married, so I didn't finish it.
It's very well written and a great read.
Meat is a luxury, right? How can the cost of minced meat and mashed potatoes be low?
It has mainstream values, is realistic, uses logical thinking, and has no flaws—a rare gem, only too short.
It's not bad. It focuses more on the imperial examination system and entrepreneurship is relatively simple. The male lead almost went astray several times, but thankfully he managed to pull himself back on track.
I enjoy reading books in this category.
