Finally, I've found a novel set in the Tang Dynasty that emphasizes decisive action. The opening line, "Attack Xuanwu Gate!" Is followed by immediate and swift action. The protagonist's attitude is strong and assertive, not subservient at all—it's excellent.
Chapter Nineteen: Hundreds of heavily armored cavalry and the Xuanjia Army fought for half a day, and neither side suffered a single death, the reason being the protection of their respective armor.
It's alright. There's no system and not much messy romance. It's a pure feel-good story. The idea of him running off to start his own business and having Li Tai fight Li Ge is interesting. It's much better than some of Li Chengqian's sycophantic behavior towards Li Er.
I've read over 200 chapters so far, and it's not bad. However, even though Li Shimin has been clearly pointed out, and he himself is aware of it, and the crown prince is very capable of shouldering great responsibilities, he still shows favoritism. I'll have to see more... But judging from the trend, it won't end with a happy father and filial son.
The idea was good, but failure was inevitable. How could a force of only about 2,000 men possibly succeed in attacking the Xuanjia Army? The same Xuanwu Gate incident, handled differently, would definitely yield different results. Li Er (Emperor Taizong of Tang) killed all the Crown Prince and Li Si's descendants, leaving Li Yuan with no other choice.
The opening move of breaching Xuanwu Gate was excellent; it was swift and decisive, neither hesitant nor timid, making it a pleasure to watch. When will Li Chengqian's leg be healed?
Overall, it's alright, though the first few dozen chapters are too predictable. Once you get past those initial flaws, the writing is decent. The author has at least a basic understanding of history, though it's superficial, but not entirely fabricated; there are sources. The overall writing style leans towards farming and management.
The writing is excellent, and the character portrayals are very evocative.
💩 I can't eat this by myself
It's alright. Although the response after the rebellion was a bit superficial, it did take into account some political factors at the time, using emotions as a pretext, which feels more in line with the views of the ancients. However, there are also some crude aspects, directly letting emotions override everything else—so I'll deduct 1 point.
