Late Ming Border Troops Have a Pocket Dimension, and from the Start It Leads Straight to Hengdian

The premise is good, and the writing is also good. However, the portrayal of making money by selling antiques and buying hundreds of thousands of tons of grain is a bit too understated; in reality, various regulations wouldn't be so easily implemented. I'll give it five stars for now and continue reading.

The current situation is good. I've seen too many stories that start well but quickly fall apart. The author of this story needs to hold on and not write carelessly. Respect historical facts, have a positive and upright worldview, and avoid creating a harem to ruin the goodwill. If you do that, the story will stay stable!

It's well-written; the author is very kind to Emperor Chongzhen, the crown prince, and the loyal ministers of the late Ming Dynasty, making it a pleasant read. Emperor Chongzhen is a pitiful figure, and he's quite handsome; it's heartbreaking to see him portrayed as evil in those time-travel novels.

So far, it's been very good. However, going for the 56-and-a-half can easily cause the later plot to fall apart. A flintlock musket assembled with modern materials and gunpowder from modern firecrackers is already very powerful. Adding a replica of the Napoleon cannon at the end would basically make it invincible.

The section on marriage alliances in this book is very well written. No matter how you try to whitewash the Han and Tang dynasties, it's said that those sent in marriage alliances weren't true princesses. Even if the one sent was a beggar, she was sent as a princess, representing the nation's recognition; therefore, she was a legitimate princess.

The author should revise their armor section. If you don't know something, you can use AI to look it up. Using Qianwen and Doubao, which are familiar with Chinese databases, will be more accurate. Don't write based on conjecture and stereotypes. How could a set of armor possibly cost a hundred taels? Even the high-grade full plate armor specially made for Joan of Arc by the French didn't cost that much.

An underrated masterpiece. The writing is simple yet profound, the plot ingenious, and the pacing rapid. While the setup in the beginning is slightly lengthy, it's essential for establishing the mutual trust between the two brothers, one ancient and one modern.

A rare gem. Plenty of satisfying moments, especially the slaying of the Tartars.

It's really good. I especially enjoyed the historical parts. I hope the author doesn't suddenly switch to romance.

The novel has a unique and brilliant concept, and its attention to detail is excellent. It avoids the nauseating scenes typical of time-travel novels, such as ancient people being able to recognize simplified Chinese characters or make their own instant noodles. Kudos to the author! 👍
