    ① It's quite good, with a fresh concept and no conspiracies or intrigues. The character development is also excellent; you can see different worlds, which is quite interesting. No main character? Who needs a main character? Everyone is great! This is genuinely a good read; it's the first time I've encountered such a good book. ② It's good. It has historical depth and sees through appearances to the essence, while not being bound by technical terms or literary complexity. The language is at least easy to understand. The best part is that there's no annoying main character setup, and the emperors are all intelligent, which suits my taste, especially the humorous aspects of historical emperors. It's serious yet witty. Every aspect of every character in the book is vividly portrayed.
