Overall, it was pretty good, five stars [OK]. There were a few things I personally didn't like, such as the female lead's (I think Tan is the female lead?) Character design, which I didn't like, and she didn't seem to have any chemistry with the main character 🤦 Also, there's another character who, like the main character, is a time traveler, and also a woman who transmigrates into a man's body. ❤️❤️❤️
This is my third book in this genre, and I've read everyone's feedback. The protagonist's parents are gentle and mild-mannered, always trying to minimize problems because they only want family harmony—a principle that values peace above all else. This might make some readers angry, but sometimes life is like that.
It's quite good, but the pacing feels a bit slow because the protagonist is still too young to do much. However, this is also due to his temperament, his family background from his time travel, and the adjustments made by the times, which ultimately make him a better protagonist. It feels like the protagonist needs to become stronger to protect his family.
It's a great read, the author's writing is excellent. I just hope the male lead, who transmigrates from a female body, doesn't need a wife or a concubine, otherwise it feels too jarring. Wouldn't it be better if he had two close male friends?
Overall, it's quite good. The main characters are well-developed and logically consistent. However, the supporting characters need some refinement, such as the concubines. Also, some details, like the rigid social hierarchy of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, are not well-developed in certain sentences.
This book truly deserves a five-star rating. It doesn't rely on exaggerated plot devices; instead, it showcases the author's intelligence and resourcefulness. From childhood, he cleverly outwitted his brother; from a young age, he recognized business opportunities and valued information; he remained grounded and patient, offering appropriate support to his family and carefully considering all…
Overall, it's really great. I especially love the male lead's character. The content feels very realistic, and the author's writing skills are quite profound, especially Liu Lang's poem that won him first place at the poetry competition—it was truly well-written. I just hope there isn't a female lead. I feel Tan and Liu Lang aren't a good match. I hope Liu Lang can enjoy his own happiness and find an older sister type.
This book has no logical flaws or melodramatic plots. The main character is well-developed, and the supporting characters aren't stereotypical villains. It's currently in the early stages and is quite well-written. I hope the author can maintain this level of quality; this book is sure to be a huge success! The cover is also very attractive!
It's so good, I especially love this genre! And seeing that the author has already written fifteen books makes me feel reassured; I feel like their track record is pretty solid. ❤️
I've read several of the author's books, and I really like this one. Many people say the protagonist's parents are no good, but I don't like those mindless, wish-fulfillment stories. Is everything really that perfect? I really like this kind of story with a grand scope. I hope the author continues to do well. It's normal for good works to have different opinions.
