   The author should stick to popular science writing. It's actually quite interesting, but the war scenes are too childish. You can't tell what the main characters are doing at all... It's just... Boring... But if the author writes historical popular science, I would definitely buy it.

   The Spring Stream Flute Dawn historical series. The female lead is Guo Ziyi's daughter, not a time traveler, but a native of the Tang Dynasty. The style is relatively light and humorous, with few angst-filled parts, but it's overly bland and lacks any exciting moments, plus the ending is disappointing, so I wouldn't highly recommend it. I quite liked the male protagonists in this author's other historical novels, but I feel like they just can't write female protagonist stories. It wasn't exactly a case of starting strong but ending weakly, but overall it was just average. And I accidentally shipped the prodigy group… (gritting my teeth) What I didn't like was that the An Lushan Rebellion was mainly caused by Li Longji, and the nightmares that followed seemed too casual. Also, the part about the female lead serving as a low-level official felt unrealistic. What family would push their husbands to serve in the military just so they could go to school with their children? In ancient times, women were also an important source of labor, so they wouldn't have that kind of free time. The content of the synopsis was barely mentioned, almost non-existent, and Guo Ziyi appeared only a few times. It was obvious at a glance that the story was rushed to end prematurely. The storylines from when I was a child were quite interesting, but they weren't as good as when I grew up. Also, the author likes to explain things too much, and many of their ideas are rather naive, which makes them less convincing to me.

   Although it didn't leave as deep an impression as the previous one, it was still quite interesting overall, and the character of Li Yuan was well-developed. I feel this book about the Han Dynasty Crown Prince is definitely an improvement, because the Tang Dynasty time-travel book used too much "crying and laughing" and repetitive wording. While my views conflicted with the author's interpretations of some facts, I found the viewpoints in the story quite interesting. It was also a rather enjoyable read, featuring the useless old man.

    Reading historical web novels is very enjoyable when you encounter an author whose historical perspective aligns with yours... Aside from not liking that all the characters are called "X'er" (since they all start as children), everything else is fine. This series is like that, so I won't be picky. Leaving aside the fact that the historical research is quite detailed compared to other authors of the same genre, the most important thing is that our values match. I realized I'd read the same author's other time-travel stories set in the Qin and Ming dynasties before, but these two are still my favorites. I especially love the story about the Crown Prince of Han; as a die-hard fan of traditional Chinese opera, I could read it three or four times over. One scene that left a particularly deep impression on me was when Bangzi and his son (the male protagonist) entered a dream and talked with Zheng Ge, which was the same scene from when they first started their rebellion. In any case, it really shocked me at the time: "When will the days end? You and I will both perish." And I think this is the most satisfying story in the series; there's basically no angst, and finally the old man doesn't die.
