It's very well written. The protagonist doesn't invent any groundbreaking gadgets, but he does his best to save the Ming Dynasty from its regrets. Unlike other novels where the protagonist is portrayed as a refined, knowledgeable, and seemingly gentle gentleman who is actually a hypocrite behind a dark side, this protagonist can be considered a true gentleman without being pedantic.
It's pretty good, a very enjoyable read. Personally, I really wanted to see a book about the Ming Dynasty with Xiong Ying as the male protagonist. I thought the way this book handled the matter of the Crown Prince's concubine was quite good.
I read this work in one go; it's a masterpiece. Unlike those time-travel novels that start with all sorts of inventions and face-slapping moments, this rare gem reflects the spirit of the times and the logic that power isn't something one can simply do as they please.
The writing is excellent, and the author is a veteran at writing about the Ming Dynasty. I'm really looking forward to this novel about the early Ming Dynasty. Keep it up!
Well written, the characters are quite close to their historical counterparts. Zhu Yuanzhang (Chu Chongba) is portrayed as having a contradictory personality, loving his people like his own children but sometimes spoiling his children and grandchildren excessively. Zhu Yuanzhang's (Chu Laosi's) original dream was to become a great general who conquered the north.
I've been following this series, and this is my third book already. The author's writing is generally free of logical flaws, but it might not be as enjoyable for many history buffs, since the characters are always top-tier figures. Therefore, the number of readers isn't always large. There's a problem with the route from Fengyang back to Nanjing.
I'm speechless at the appearance of this fake daughter. The only reason I managed to finish today's update was because your previous writing was truly excellent, and the previous book as well. It feels like the Crown Prince has been possessed by a loser; all the carefully constructed character he built up has collapsed in an instant.
This is a rare gem among Tomato's historical novels set during the Hongwu era. The revised historical plot is quite reasonable, and there are many exciting moments. The only downside is that the "chosen one" aspect was somewhat lowered to prioritize the protagonist, and a lot of historical detail was omitted. However, overall, it lives up to its current rating and has a happy ending.
If you can actually read this, you might as well consider it a rebirth or resurrection. The transmigrated person is a normal ordinary person, at least they know some basic things useful for people's livelihood, right? They might not be able to invent anything, but there are plenty of smart people out there. Give them the ideas, and they'll figure it out.
This is really well-written, and the logic is quite meticulous and reasonable. I don't know why the rating is so low. It should be at least a 9 out of 10. Many other similar works that get a 9 out of 10 are so bad that I quit after reading just a few lines (either they treat Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao as idiots, or they treat the other officials as idiots).
