Otherwise, you're just a dog. No matter how great your achievements or how high you rise, they can kill you whenever they want. Just look at Bai Qi in the Qin dynasty, Han Xin in the Han dynasty, and Yue Fei in the Song dynasty. That's why anyone who transmigrates has to rebel.

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.

The best historical romance novel of the late Ming Dynasty in history (the author is self-proclaimed) The group portraits in the first part of the survival chapter have been completed, and the long story of the eight kings and the four young kings of the West in the second part of the tripod-capture chapter has officially begun. The narrative of this book is novel, the research is detailed, the plot is grand, the characters are vivid, don't miss it if you pass by.
The writing is very good, the writing is good, and it basically fits the history. Zhang Xianzhong is a very controversial figure. His bloodthirsty and murderous image may have been deliberately distorted by the Manchus! Just imagine, if he really slaughtered Chuan, wouldn't they need to recruit soldiers and feed them? If you kill everyone in your own jurisdiction, who will defect to you, and how can you gain a foothold in Sichuan? Looking at the names of Li Zicheng (alias Hongji) and Zhang Xianzhong (alias Jingxuan), I feel that the people of Shaanxi at that time were quite literate. The literacy rate of the people of the Ming Dynasty should be high. Ordinary people such as farmers and traders were somewhat literate!
It is a rare and serious historical text. From the first few articles, you can see that the author has a solid reserve. The writing style of biographies is not difficult to follow, the psychological portrayal is delicate, and the battle descriptions have a strong sense of scene. It has the potential of an epic. I look forward to the follow-up.
I was a bit uncomfortable with the frequent cuts to the main character in the early stages, but I found it okay after reading it. Personally, I feel that Wu Dading's chapter is the best, Sun Chuanting's portrayal is superb, Hao Yaoqi's chapter is also okay, and the change of heart is natural, the characters in Jiang Yu's chapter are a bit facial, and the rhythm of Liu Guoneng's chapter is a bit too fast and jumpy. I haven't started reading "Seizing the Tripod" yet, I will review it after reading it, but Zhang Xianzhong is actually set to be a mental patient, so we have to see how the author plans to write about mental illness.
It feels like the author is imitating Tianxia at the beginning, but the time jump is a bit too sharp. I'll see if I can hold it back later.
It's okay, but the opening pace feels a bit too fast.
The writing is good, I like the delicate psychological description.
The main character got a bad review at the beginning, so I originally wanted to deduct one star. But I feel really good at the end. It is a serious historical literature that is rare in Tomato. I hope the author can stick to finishing it and stop being a eunuch.
Although it is a group portrait, it is well written. The four POV chapters in the first part echo each other. Looking back, I find a lot of foreshadowing. Come on, author, look forward to the second story of the Eight Kings.
It's really well written. It describes this period of history from multiple dimensions. It's hard to tell what's true and what's false. It's a bit like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
