Although I've only read three chapters, I already feel it's a good book, and the author's background information is very detailed.
The writing is fluent, the plot is clear and full of twists and turns, making it very engaging!
Few articles depict the late Qing Dynasty, where modern repeating crossbows were used to fight against the British and the Anglo-French forces during a period when firearms were gradually replacing bows and crossbows. This story, which began in 1840, brought an end to the century-long humiliation of the Chinese nation. It's not a mindless wish-fulfillment story; it respects history.
Authentic and down-to-earth, with rigorous logic. A highly intelligent business whiz. Sounds satisfying. Excellent, commendable! 🥰😀
A truly exceptional book! The author possesses a boundless imagination; while lacking ornate language, the writing flows smoothly, the story unfolds layer by layer, and it possesses a unique charm that makes it impossible to put down.
Aside from the harem element, it's pretty good, and the writing is very delicate. How come it only got a 6.8 Rating? That's strange.
A good book, thank you to the author for providing intellectual nourishment.
The writing is fluent and also...
The protagonist is simply awesome.
