   I think this book is alright, I don't know why it's not very popular. But I think its approach to restoring the nation is quite pragmatic.

Most importantly, the protagonist doesn't have any special abilities or cheat codes, which makes it feel more logical.

   Sharing a niche, realistic masterpiece about the late Ming Dynasty: *The Late Ming Dynasty: Stop Rushing! I, the Governor, Just Want to Slack Off*. Too many mindless, wish-fulfillment novels on the market portray the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty in a superficial way. This book is completely different, with solid historical research. The protagonist's cheat ability only summons a famous historical general once; afterwards, it completely returns to realism. There are no mindless power-ups, no harem elements, and no clichéd plot devices. It meticulously depicts the internal and external predicaments during the Chongzhen era, with every line filled with the powerless struggles of ordinary people and officials in a chaotic world. It's suitable for readers who prefer serious late Ming history and dislike fast-paced, superficial novels. The pacing isn't too slow, but it gets better as you read on.
