Aside from the slightly awkward blatant use of poetry and philosophical essays, the portrayal of family, friendship, and the older brother's emotions is incredibly compelling. The story's direction and development are cleverly crafted, and the characters aren't superficial but rather their realities and personalities are felt and imagined through the text. I think it's worth reading! I'd give it a 9 out of 10! Excellent!!
It's very good-looking. The male protagonist doesn't have a CP at the moment, but the relationship between the eldest brother and his sister-in-law is pretty good. The sister-in-law and the eldest brother are a good match, and they're not annoying. The author should be pretty good at writing emotional lines. I hope the male protagonist's CP can be like this and not annoying, haha.
Wow, so handsome! Turns out he's Wang Mingyuan's grandson! Hahahaha!
It's been a long time since I've read a book where I could read the latest chapter in one go. The plot is good, the exciting moments are frequent, the writing is also good, and the scenes where the male lead engages in verbal battles are really enjoyable. Most importantly, there are currently no romantic relationships with women; the male lead is single and content, which is really great.
It's super good! Whether it's the young master Wang's erudition or Su Wanku's humor, it's very lighthearted. It's my only hobby in my spare time. 😊 The writing is humorous and entertaining, full of wit and courage. One prince is taken down, then another—hahaha, what a satisfying read! 🤭
It's great! Continuing some of the settings from the previous book, this new story is set in a fictional new dynasty. The contrast between the family of refined scholars and the tall, muscular scholar who's over 1.9 Meters tall is quite striking. Although the older brother is sickly, it doesn't stop him from being cunning and intelligent; even the male protagonist has to admire his brother's shrewdness, hahaha!
It's a very interesting book. Although there are some mismatches in the connection with the other book, if you look at them as two independent books, this one is more humorous and interesting, and the plot always develops in unexpected directions.
The author's writing is superb; "The Butcher's Tale" is one of the few high-quality works I've read since becoming a fan of Tomato (a famous Taiwanese writer). I'm looking forward to the author's new book and hope there will be more interaction between other members of the Wang family, such as Gouwa and Zhuniu.
I came here after watching the manga series, and it's indeed quite good. It's essentially a wish-fulfillment story, but it's a rare ensemble piece. None of the protagonist's family members are a hindrance; they all help each other, and the power struggles are generally plausible. It's much better than mindless wish-fulfillment novels.
As a 200-pound woman, I was completely blown away! The author's writing is absolutely fantastic! 👍
