The Ming Dynasty Series Has No Bad Books. I Dare You to Disagree!
Looking for books like The Ming Dynasty's First Duke. What does the Ming Dynasty mean to us? The last Han Chinese dynasty? Factional strife and popular resentment? Or the emperor guarding the nation's borders and dying for his country? The Ming Dynasty was the last backbone of Chinese civilization. If you had the chance, would you be willing to go to the Ming

Ming Dynasty Stories with Cheat-Like Powers and Plenty of Thrills
Any books about giving the Ming Dynasty a major advantage? I don’t want a protagonist who gets a cheat but still acts all wronged.

I'm wondering why the protagonist didn't delve deeper into the four abilities given at the start? The Flying Technique in Dragon Ball is explained as the control and manipulation of ki. Working backwards, this means that if the protagonist mastered Flying Technique, he should also be able to sense and utilize ki.
It was quite enjoyable to watch; at least I wasn't treated like a dog. Keep it up!
A qualified "feel-good" novel It's suggested to kill more people to emphasize the author's indifference towards Zhu Yuanzhang. For example, kill Hu Wenyong in court, save Liu Bowen, mock the spy chief when Zhu Yuanzhang wants to kill him, highlight the conflict between Shen Wansan and the emperor, and then use an explosion to save him, etc.
I think this book is still edible. Some of the bugs mentioned in the two-star reviews have been patched. Of course, there are still some issues, but maybe my tolerance is high enough that I can still handle it. The part of this book that makes me most upset is that no one has their own personality. Everyone speaks the same way, with the same style and tone. It's probably because the author imagined that Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancient emperor, spoke like that, so everyone speaks like that.
Could AK47s have been produced simply by having blueprints in the early Ming Dynasty?
Very good, but lacking a bit of excitement.
I support the author. Reality is already tough enough; if you have the ability to not eat beef, what's wrong with being more carefree and leisurely? Only a fool would transmigrate and rebel every day. Being a wise ruler is exhausting, while being a foolish ruler offers more enjoyment. If you have the ability to not eat beef, even if you don't become emperor, what can't you enjoy?
NB is practically unfawning! As for other time-travel novels where the protagonist travels to the Ming Dynasty, especially the Hongwu Emperor, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not kill them? Do you think that's possible? Even if you travel to the Zhenguan era and have some kind of cheat code, Li Shimin will still kill you in the end! If it's Qin Shi Huang, there's a 50% chance; for other emperors, it's definitely 100%—no doubt about it.
I don't know what to say, just go see for yourself.
It's well-written and quite interesting, so why is the rating a bit low?
