The Ming Dynasty's Most Ruthless Merchant, Old Zhu Begs Me Not to Die

It's well-written, but the early stages are too difficult to break down. The protagonist is almost killed the moment they meet, then suddenly becomes impressive after a casual display of arrogance. The names of modern things are ridiculously absurd.

The entire cast is extraordinary: Zhu Biao, who exposes the protagonist after finding his parents; Zhu Yuanzhang, who would have killed the protagonist if not for someone stopping him; and the protagonist, who enjoys being rejected.

The writing is quite good, but the emperor didn't need to keep pretending. He starts by mentioning the execution of nine generations of one's family, and the protagonist's suggestions are all immediately adopted by the emperor. He constantly interacts with the emperor; it's impossible for the modern protagonist not to realize he's Zhu Yuanzhang. It's always the same routine

I'll just say one thing: Old Zhu's head is buzzing, like a bolt of lightning has struck him—he's been struck by invisible lightning so many times, is he alright? It feels like he's being struck three times in every chapter.

I've read up to Chapter 23 and can predict the ending from the beginning. If my interpretation differs, please let me know in the comments. Predictably, this book has virtually no narrative. I guess the pattern is this: Li casually mentions some facts at home, Zhu goes home excitedly to tell his ministers, then is questioned, praised, and finally implemented.

Please update more frequently, there's not enough to watch now! I've already watched all three ad videos today. Brothers, please watch the ads and support the author so he's motivated to update more!

Come in and eat! It's fresh, hot, and delicious! 😋🙂😏

The author's identity seems to be exposed in the first few chapters, but that's only true in the first few chapters. Perhaps the writing was a bit disorganized at the beginning, but it gets better later on. Overall, it's quite good.

It's a really good book, why is the rating so low? The writing style is also to my liking. It got increasingly exaggerated later on, referring to the flowery language.

The content is substantial, the logic is clear, and the characters are well-developed. It's not just a simple wish-fulfillment story; you can even learn some useful knowledge from it. However, some phrases appear repeatedly, making the writing seem a bit repetitive, and also... There aren't enough updates... It's not enough! 🤦
