The Imperial Exams: A Bookish Son in a Clan of Illiterates

It's a very good book. The plot doesn't drag, and there aren't any words that are bad for girls. I haven't seen the male lead's romantic storyline yet, but I suggest not reading the comments section while reading this book. From my perspective, I think I would be very happy if the male lead were a local official in my area. He's a person who gets things done.

A very good book. It's a reincarnation story, without any overpowered protagonist or cheat codes. Every step is grounded and the pacing is fast. While other imperial examination novels have characters still struggling through the spring examinations at around chapter 200, this one starts around chapter 200 where the characters are already taking office and working for the people. This truly shows the significance of using the entire clan's resources to support the imperial examinations! 👍

The writing is excellent and realistic; it's not the typical "invincible scholar" trope. The male lead is realistic, with his own selfish motives and a strong sense of justice. The only drawback is that some people in the comments section seem to have suddenly become overly enthusiastic, insisting that every woman they see is the female lead.

This is truly an amazing male-oriented novel! There are no cheesy or vulgar parts! I really hate those cheesy tropes in male-oriented novels, but this one is completely free of them!!! It's great that the male lead doesn't have any overpowered abilities; he takes each step steadily and reliably. He's incredibly kind to his family, which is truly touching. Who understands me?!

I really enjoyed this story. The male lead wasn't exaggerated, and there's no romance yet. Actually, I kind of hoped it would be a no-romance story, because adding a romance after all the drama would feel a bit abrupt. I hope the author can leave the ending unresolved, letting the characters choose their own paths within the book. I especially loved the details about serving the country after the imperial examinations. Keep up the good work, author!

A highly recommended imperial examination novel. While the protagonist is male, the author is female, resulting in a more delicate and tender writing style compared to other male-authored imperial examination novels. The pacing is fast, but the protagonist's path to promotion is very solid.

It's nice to watch, but the whole family isn't the worst kind—just the middle kind—which is a bit annoying 🤦 lots of bickering, but I can still keep watching.

This is a really good book. I love the male protagonist so much. He doesn't have any special abilities, and the content isn't exaggerated. It's just a simple story about ordinary life, which makes you want to keep reading. This rating is too low. I'd give it 10 stars.

This is so good! I really love this book. The journey from the imperial examinations to wealth is captivating. The older brother and sister-in-law in the early chapters are thoughtful and have normal human thinking; they don't blindly help their younger brother. It's very realistic and enjoyable. I'm just not really hoping for a female lead later on.

This is a book I absolutely love! Although the protagonist is male, I think it's a book that both men and women can enjoy. There's no overpowered protagonist, no harem, and no pretentious moments. I really love it. The male lead is also very approachable; even as an outsider, I'm starting to fall in love with him 😢. This shows the author's values ​​and writing ability.
