It's very interesting to read, but some details feel like they're not in place, such as the follow-up of the Lin family. Although this writing leaves a lot of room for imagination, I still feel that it's not as good as the author's writing (maybe I skipped reading and didn't see it)
I finished reading it in one day. The writing and ideas are okay, and the overall story has no major flaws. However, I feel that this article could be longer. I am looking forward to the book "The Little Corrupt Officials of the Ming Dynasty". Come on, come on, come on
It's very nice to read. I almost read the whole text in one go. There are two main flaws. One is the problem of stereotypes, which fortunately is not too serious. The second is that the rhythm of more than 30 chapters is poor, especially the article on flood management that was stolen and directly buried in the story. The introduction is about the powerful people in the dynasty who were enemies, and Lin Qing was still a little kid at that time. In contrast, it gave people a feeling of great pressure. I almost gave up the article after reading this. However, the pace got better and better in the later chapters. Chapter 90 started to have ups and downs. It was very enjoyable to read, and it was the most exciting part!
Why do you hate the heroine so much?
First book? As a bookworm, this is great.
It seems that some things were not written clearly in the later period.
The plot is fast-paced, the male protagonist is charming, the family is harmonious, and he has good teachers and friends. The author's writing is good, the male protagonist is studying and becoming an official is not always smooth sailing, and the plot setting is reasonable. Worth a second brush
This is the second book I've read where a woman dresses as a man. They're all good-looking, but this one is more realistic. I also thought for a moment that if I became a man, I would definitely be like the heroine, just not as smart as her!
[Spread flowers] Finished reading! The imperial examination essay is pretty good!
It's not bad, but it always feels weird when a woman wears a man and gets married.
