This is so exciting! A fantastic historical fiction novel set in the Tang Dynasty! Will the friendship between Li Shimin and the male protagonist truly last? Emperors in feudal society are the most unpredictable; one moment they're chatting and laughing with you, the next they're playing a game of Candy Crush with their whole family. I hope the author handles this well, leaving the protagonist a way out and not putting all their eggs in one basket! 🥰
The main character has a good personality, starting from the scene at Xuanwu Gate. His "golden finger" (advantageous abilities) is barely noticeable; he's decisive and ruthless, and his relationship with Li Shimin is very sweet ❤️. However, there's a downside: the romance is too intense. It initially claims to have a single female lead, but later adds a second female lead with various ambiguous relationships. If you can tolerate this, it's highly recommended.
The book is not bad, with some strange flaws. As for the female lead, I won't comment on Xiaoyue, but I think Li Yanrou is fine. Do Tomato's readers define female characters as only being gentle and not having their own stance, attitude, or thoughts?
The characters are well-developed. Although there are many things to criticize, it is, after all, a novel, and one cannot expect realism from a work of fiction. Why were Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang given these character settings? They serve no purpose, do they? Now they're rushing to bring them into the camp, making their earlier portrayal as sorcerers stirring up chaos even more ridiculous.
The plot is fast-paced, the banter between the main characters and Li Shimin is quite entertaining, and their interactions are well-developed. I stayed up all night and read all 114 chapters so far. It's been a long time since I've read a Tang Dynasty novel in one go. It started strong but declined in quality.
This book is really good, especially the part about Lu Bu fighting Sun Wukong for Diao Chan. They fought for hundreds of lives, but Xue Baochai was just too strong. If it weren't for Darius's outer-circle cheat + Noxus Guillotine, that M4 6x scope spray would have been fatal. The phrase "" (pǔ) expresses Zhuge Liang's indignation at the monkey's three blows that killed him.
Are you sure you're writing about Li Shimin? Even the historical Li Shimin isn't as pathetic as you portray him.
I hope they don't start a harem later on! The relationship with the guy surnamed Li is so ambiguous, no way!!! Either make it clear from the beginning, or don't do it at all. Starting it halfway through is really annoying. Author, I urge you to be kind!!!
I spent a few days catching up to the latest chapter. Overall, it's not bad, but the Xuanwu Gate Incident was too jarring, and the marriage alliance with the Li family's daughter was another major flaw. It felt like a contradiction between the previous chapters and the current ones, which is a shame. If it weren't for these issues, the rating would probably be even higher.
It's a good read, exactly the kind I like, and the author writes very well. Of course, it would be even better if the author could update more often.
