   Reader note

   I recently read this novel and felt it was a work whose potential was wasted by its title and synopsis. I wanted to recommend it because I thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted to share it with everyone. 1️⃣ Solid writing and positive values. The author has a strong literary foundation, quoting many poems and classical allusions, many of which require the reader's annotations, adding to the reading enjoyment. A work can reveal an author's values, and the author clearly put a lot of effort into the creation, aiming to influence readers to some extent. For example, the phrase "Straight as a string, dies by the roadside; crooked as a hook, is ennobled" appears repeatedly in the book. This means that upright people die by the roadside, while those who flatter and fawn are promoted and ennobled. During the reign of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, General Liang Ji held power, and Grand Commandant Li Gu opposed him, being killed by Liang Ji and his body left by the roadside. Meanwhile, those who flattered Liang Ji, such as Hu Guang, were ennobled. The timing of this phrase is always thought-provoking and deeply impactful. 2️⃣ Clear main plot and appropriate logical connections. This novel is divided into several seemingly independent units, but they are actually subtly interconnected and mutually reinforcing. Each unit features vivid characters, a thought-provoking plot, and smooth, seamless plot twists that don't feel forced. 3. The themes are rich and the content is humorous. It incorporates time-travel and reincarnation tropes, avoiding clichéd storytelling. The author's carefully crafted humor, such as sudden comedic moments during tragic scenes, transforms a feeling of sadness into uncontrollable laughter, creating a captivating and unforgettable experience. 4. The flaws don't detract from the overall quality. I've only read this novel once. Being a long novel, it's easy to forget earlier parts as you read on an e-reader. However, I want to praise the author for cleverly revisiting earlier plot points and resolving foreshadowing in later chapters. Nevertheless, it's still worth reading multiple times to gain different insights.
