   In ancient times without an empress, how can a woman turn her unfortunate start around? The author provides the answer, and in two ways at that. The dual-narrative structure is brilliant. The early chapters are a bit too long, but the pacing is well-controlled, making the later chapters particularly enjoyable to read.

   I'll still give it a thumbs up. It's a work from a few years ago, and I finally finished it this year. There are occasional minor grammatical errors and derogatory terms for women, as well as some colloquialisms and minor plot issues. But D&D, the female lead, it's so good! This kind of story is so rare. I can barely tolerate the previous issues. The biggest problem is the lack of writing skill. The characters are flat, their psychology is completely undeveloped, their actions lack logic, and the world-building, whether realistic or game-like, lacks supporting details. Except for the female lead, everyone else seems like an NPC. The author may have made comprehensive settings, but they weren't presented well. You could say the lack of detail is outrageous. The protagonist wants to raise pigs and farm, and the worst part is that the combat is also lacking in detail. All the plots feel like child's play, and the characters and the world feel like fragmented pieces, not coherent. [Heartbroken] I can't finish this female lead D&D. I'm more heartbroken than anyone else. [Heartbroken] Another problem is that although it's said to be without romance, the way the characters interact has a yuri feel to it, not like non-romantic descriptions.

In the dream Feng Zheng was a classic transmigration heroine with a halo that made her a natural orator. As soon as she said that everyone was equal, people would be brainwashed on the spot. Unfortunately, it didn’t work very well. The equality she preached seemed a little hypocritical. Ying Wushuang was a revenge-story heroine who had been reborn with a halo.

   The concept is really good, and the characters are diverse, with a few particularly outstanding. However, the military and political aspects are too immature, lacking believable details, and the language isn't professional enough. But I still think it's great that there's a story like this.

   My favorite book, but looking back, I realize how many stereotypes it contains… Whether it's the jokes about being a "single dog," or the frequent appearances of "male" friendships, "brothers," "I'm your dad" (this kind of concept assumes that men have the most authority and status)… From the beginning, the roommates didn't have names, to later having only male friends, even a disabled person like Ji Ban can pilot a mecha, but there are no women in the main cast… The writing is average, with frequent typos. But it truly is a groundbreaking book. Rereading it now feels different because I've come a long way myself; those jokes no longer make sense to me, and those concepts no longer seem so. I've lost a lot, including the youthful spirit presented in this book, but I've also gained a clearer understanding of who I am and what I truly care about.

   I quite like this kind of story; it's like a chivalrous hero from humble beginnings who wreaks havoc in a martial arts novel. The familiar tropes aren't a problem; the author is truly creative and has the skill to write even the most familiar tropes well.

   Calling someone "Dad" is an admission of male chauvinism. You could use "Lao Da" (姥大), or other more syllable-sounding methods; the underlying concept should be refuted. The problem with this series of articles is that female mediocrity is the norm, while the protagonist's excellence is the exception. This writing style doesn't challenge the prejudice that "women are incapable"; instead, it reinforces it through a single example. By mocking other women as "decorative figures" or "opportunists," the author achieves a betrayal within the female community. (The Commander's book!) The protagonist gains male approval, thus receiving the highest praise for being "unwomanly." In the author's subconscious, male weaknesses (disabilities) can be redeemed through civilization and technology, while female identity (gender) is an original sin, which can only be overcome through the protagonist's "extraordinary talent." This isn't scientifically based; it's blatant prejudice. (The Commander's book!)

   I never expected to find this type of story on Lvjiang Literature City. It's so good! I was a little worried about the male lead in the romance novel, but the female characters are really great, and even the male supporting character is charming. Lately, I've felt so stifled reading stories set in feudal times, but this one has it all. Women achieve success, women pioneer, women build connections. It's not some mindless story where modern people transmigrate and everyone kneels before them just by shouting slogans. Each character has different traits and can do different things. I'm not usually interested in these "all-powerful" characters, but the author crafted them very well. The characters are realistic and believable, and the relationships between them are complex and multifaceted, involving emotional and financial entanglements. Although there aren't specific descriptions of political intrigue, military matters, or people's livelihoods, it gives a general impression of social issues. The protagonist's brilliance lacks concrete evidence, making it somewhat unconvincing. The author could clearly work on that, but the choice of the main storytelling perspective and content is a good one. The writing style is also quite good; the adaptations and references to classical poetry become increasingly natural later on (it was a bit awkward at first), and I really enjoy this approach. Of course, the most important thing is that the premise is fantastic, haha, and the pacing is excellent. The flaws don't detract from the overall quality; so far, I'm giving it five stars!

   It's so well-written! The natural portrayal of gender equality almost made me cry. I almost missed it because the title was a bit abstract. To elaborate, the writing is smooth and natural, the structure is reasonable, and it creates the image of my dream emperor and my dream workplace environment. I've already read it three times.

    It's a very lighthearted Western fantasy story with a creative premise. However, the male lead's character is a major flaw, and the romance feels incredibly forced. Furthermore, the ending is shockingly rushed.
