This is a kind of adult-oriented feel-good story. After years of struggling in society, I can't stand this kind of thing anymore. It's very relatable, and the writing is powerful. It's written from the perspective of ordinary people, making it very relatable.
I found it really well-written and enjoyable to read. The author also did a great job capturing the emotions within. I don't know how others felt after reading it, but I genuinely loved it.
It's good. As long as the author doesn't go crazy later on, this book is amazing. It has Chinese-style regret, faith, and loyalty... The only thing I can't understand is why this book only has a 7.4 rating, while those parts that I think have so many flaws have 8-9 points? This author is something else.
Although I've only read a few dozen chapters, the descriptions are so poignant they brought me to tears. I can't bear this kind of Chinese tragedy. It seems only war films have ever made me cry. The emperor, merely a child, clad in white robes, his drums shaking the capital. The empress dowager, just a woman, personally dons armor and charges into battle. Self-immolation charges, the people's resistance… it's all so tragic.
This theme has been circulating online for a long time, generally following a "feel-good" story format, emphasizing patriotism and heroism. The author's writing is too harsh; while it's heroic, it doesn't feel truly satisfying. It's not that the writing is bad, but it just has a feeling of being lured in to kill.
The book is indeed good. But there are still some sharp, angsty moments, and you can't find any way to refute them. Without those sharp moments, the protagonist's personality wouldn't be so ruthless, and it wouldn't fit the later events. Oh well, I read novels to relax. If you don't mind a little bit of angst, I really recommend reading it. 🍉
The writing is good, but it's too idealistic.
The late emperor did not regard me as lowly or base, but treated me as a national hero. I am deeply grateful for his kindness and entrusted with the care of the young emperor. I will repay him with my life.
It's 2:49 AM now, and I can't sleep while reading this book. It's so addictive! [Thumbs up]
It's really good-looking and awesome.
