Historical Fiction: No Nonsense Allowed
It doesn’t have to be completely historically accurate, but at least don’t make it ridiculous. I want power struggles and political maneuvering that make sense. People shouldn’t just get confused all the time and believe the protagonist at first sight. The language doesn’t need to be perfectly period-appropriate, but please don’t throw in internet slang and memes at every turn.
Historically Accurate, Without Making Things Up
Historical fiction has more room for worldbuilding, with vivid characters and no distortion of history. I want a satisfying read that covers dynasties, major and minor events, wars, and loyal civil and military officials, all presented in a historical setting.

The author writes well, it's a top-tier novel. The protagonist is intelligent and resourceful, with a high level of political acumen. Unlike previous light novels about time travel to the Ming Dynasty where everything was done without regard for political rules and involved indiscriminate killing, and nobles and officials simply knelt down and kowtowed without resistance, even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone these nobles.
…It's a good read, insightful, and well-written. There aren't many accounts of the Tianqi Emperor from the late Ming Dynasty, but many about the Chongzhen Emperor. Another appealing aspect is the romantic subplot involving Empress Zhang Yan of the Ming Dynasty, which I really appreciated. Keep up the good work, author!
Although I'm not very good at writing novels, I'm very sensitive to the plot and completeness of a story. This book has a clear overall outline, a smooth plot, and the writing is indeed good with very few errors. Most importantly, it's a very easy book to read.
The rating is for the first 50 chapters. It has a bit of Liu Heping's style. A few details could be refined and fleshed out a bit more, and it would be perfect. Of all the books written in the late Ming Dynasty, only a handful by Tomato (the author) are truly readable.
This is one of the few good books I've seen on Tomato Bookstore so far. The characters are portrayed very delicately. I really hope this book will be adapted into an anime. If you ever come to Tomato Bookstore, you must check this book out.
Every character is well-developed and the writing is very realistic. I don't usually like this type of book, but once I got to some parts, I didn't want to put it down.
Seriously, I haven't read such a good Ming Dynasty novel in a long time. The writing is delicate and the characters are intelligent. I don't understand, how can such a good book have such a low rating?
This is the best time-travel novel I've read recently. Keep up the good work, author! This book is really good. I've been suffering from a reading slump for a long time. This book won't flop.
The interactions between the characters are wonderful, with many highlights, making it a very engaging and visually appealing experience.
This book is highly recommended; it stands out among novels of the same genre, and you'll find yourself engrossed in it whenever you have some free time.
