I Only Wanted to Help Dad Pass the Imperial Exams, Not Become the Emperor's Tutor!

I originally planned to finish reading before commenting, but I got too tired of reading and decided to comment first. The biggest impression the later plot left on me was that enemies kept coming one after another, and our protagonist is only 12 years old! Although he's not a typical young boy, it feels like he hasn't had any time to develop at all.

I was a little apprehensive when I first saw the rating, but after reading a bit, I realized it was a rare gem of an article. Although the dynasty is not clearly defined, and the article itself has some flaws, such as why the seventh prince has such a temperament, these are all too idealistic. However, as I said before, the flaws don't overshadow the merits.

A great story! The plot is intricately woven and unfolds layer by layer. The protagonist is incredibly insightful, the author is talented, the writing is logical and engaging, it evokes strong emotions in the reader, and it has a positive message and a grand scope. I couldn't put it down and finished it in one go. I hope the author updates frequently and look forward to future installments.

Ahhhhhh, the author writes so well!!! And it's so cultured, not just some story that's purely for entertainment! Every plot point is intricately connected!!! So good!!! Although Su Chen doesn't appear directly, he's involved in every single situation!!! Ahhhhhhh!!! It's so good!!! I finished it in one day!!!

To be honest, I didn't particularly like the first few chapters; they weren't really my cup of tea. I just randomly started listening to audiobooks, but the more I listened, the better I liked them. When I got to the exciting parts, just listening wasn't enough, so I started reading. The author's thinking is meticulous, their word choice is precise, and their writing is detailed and insightful—the prose is excellent.

A clever, almost supernatural older brother; an obedient, but not stubborn, scholar father; a highly efficient third uncle; and a second uncle with a low profile—the family is quite united.

Author, this is amazing! The logic is so clear, the plot is intricately linked, and the characters are described in great detail. I feel like I can learn so much from reading this book 😢😢, why isn't it more popular?!

It's actually quite good. While the strategies didn't give me the kind of mind-blowing shock, as the author says, they are tactics—not top-tier, but definitely above average. The logic is sound, with no major flaws, making it a rare gem among books on Rotten Tomatoes.

The author's knowledge in the relevant field is quite extensive. Many reviews praise the writing style, and the language is indeed ornate, but for me, it's a bit too much. It's too pretentious, diluting the narrative and tension of the novel. The character development is superficial; you don't feel like the characters are real people, and the protagonist's every word and action feels more like a stage play. It might be worth a try for readers looking for a change of pace.

This novel by the author has truly moved me, a reading instructor, deeply. Your work has reminded me of the various stages of reading instruction (foundation building in elementary school, fleshing out in middle school, facilitating in high school, and character development in university), woven into the tapestry of a family's struggles and the nation's development.
