1. 1 冒 The Years I Pretended to Be a Female General 冒充女将军那些年 Tao Zhenxi陶枕熹Romance737k WordsOngoing [The main story is complete; bonus chapters are updated from time to time.] Yu Qingshang is a woman in STEM. She spent five years in a combined master's and doctoral program in civil engineering. When she wasn't traveling around the country with her advisor to work on projects, she was on construction sites. She firmly rejected every dinner or movie invitation that might distract her from her studies. Then one day, she transmigrated into the body of an ancient female general who shared her nam 29.6kFavorites26.9kClicks/ch31.5kGifts

   Curator note

   9.5 From my perspective as an outsider, the female lead's professionalism is flawless, and the approach of using civil engineering knowledge to fight is quite interesting. The male lead's minor offenses in the early stages weren't too bad, and the author explained them, even making amends at the end. The weakness lies in the ending, which feels rushed. The opponent loses quickly, and while modern science played a significant role, it feels like the author simply ran out of ideas and ended the story. A readable, high-quality plot novel

   9.5 Why is Superpanda considered a god? Firstly, and then... (I forgot the rest). The point deduction is due to my dislike of the simplified version of the time-traveling technique in the latter half. This seems to be a quirk of the teacher's, spanning ten or twenty years at a time, summarizing events over those years in a single chapter, supplemented by major real-world events. Simply put, I don't like it.

   9.0 "One bite of sweetness and I could march all the way to Lhasa"—the premise is interesting, but it feels a bit off-screen and out of character. This author's fanfiction is just like this; the male lead's mind is basically only on getting close to Huang.

   8.0 A typical sweet romance story about two people with high IQs falling in love. The main plot revolves around their relationship; their careers are secondary. There's a supporting character who seemed destined for a major role as a villain, but he turns out to be just another prank in the protagonist's romantic escapades. I haven't read the side stories, but I subscribed to all of them because of my OCD.

   7.5 The first two units were quite good, but the later ones were just average. The romance was below average; it didn't stir any emotions in me. When it was sweet, it didn't feel particularly sweet, and when it was angsty, all I could think about was that it would be enough after one or two episodes. From the protagonist's perspective, he was dying repeatedly while the other was still sacrificing himself for the world; from the other's perspective, a foul-mouthed kid inexplicably shouted something like "I'll die for you" and rushed over. The sweetest part of the story was the lesbian relationship in the university arc. May it last 99 years!

    8.5 A fairly ordinary novel in many ways, but I'll indulge it a bit because it's a Sentinel story. The plot starts strong but ends weakly; the ending's twists and turns don't feel satisfying. It's a rushed and superficial ending. The protagonist's growth is almost imperceptible; he lives off the established plot. It's a very formulaic story of a roguish seme and a love-obsessed uke (gestures). However, at least they are normal human beings, not some kind of idiot who seems to have undergone a lobotomy.

    9.5 A mistake. I didn't look at the table of contents when I started reading; it was less than 400,000 words. I'll have to let it rest for a while. At first, I thought it was just another post-apocalyptic survival novel with a formulaic plot and supporting characters. However, the author's smooth pacing and the fact that it offered more humanistic touches compared to Tomato's more popular road trip survival novels made it a heartwarming read. The flaws don't detract from its overall quality. I'll write a longer review after I finish the book. I can't keep reading anymore; the fatigue from this long novel is starting to overwhelm me, but the beginning was good.

    Curator note

    I finished reading it with a 9.0 Rating. My feelings are very complicated. The author's note in the first chapter mentions that the original protagonist had a substitute, which is the smallest point in the book. The biggest problem with this book is that the author tried hard to create three-dimensional characters, and she did succeed, but the result is a kind of "disgusting" feeling. (The following content contains spoilers, please read with caution) First, there's the master. He's a man who wants both things: serving the emperor allows him to make the sect great again, but he can't completely sever his ties to being a villain. After wiping out the protagonist's entire family, he adopts him as a source of comfort, but doesn't teach him properly, always keeping a watchful eye on him. Before dying, he self-righteously passes on all his cultivation to the protagonist, achieving his own fulfillment while the protagonist is left in shackles. In contrast, his junior brother is openly evil, diligently working to make the sect great again. Secondly, there's Mo Guangbai. He killed the entire family with a knife, yet his only fate was to have an arm and a leg chopped off by the protagonist. I forget whether he went blind or not, but he was still able to live a peaceful life with his wife and daughter, carrying a sense of guilt (maybe not). I understand the author wrote this plot to show that the protagonist had reconciled and let go, and didn't want to seek revenge in kind. But I can only say it's disgusting. The protagonist, a demon himself, sentenced himself to ten years in prison. A perpetrator who killed over 140 people, even if he didn't get the death penalty, would at least get life imprisonment or a lifetime of labor reform. Couldn't you at least ask him to do something to atone for his sins? The most normal plotline here is actually that of the main villain. As for the seme and uke, they're just two miserable little devils who were terribly harmed by their master. They're led around the whole time, their romance is quite twisted and not very sweet. By the end, it felt like it was finally over.

    I gave up before I even finished half of it. Before the female lead joined the team, 99% of the supporting characters were villains, but after joining, they immediately became 99% good. The initial explanation was that the female lead's power was incredibly strong, and that if this power were taken from her, no one else could use it, so humanity couldn't do without her. Didn't your base have some amazing hypnosis and memory-altering abilities? Couldn't you just kidnap someone and brainwash them? Putting aside the deus ex machina, the base villains and the resistance leaders were all incredibly stupid. Their only purpose was to prove that not everyone in the world is bad, and to provide some internal villainous background characters for the world, besides fighting monsters.

This one was written quite early, and looking at it this way, the author's progress is indeed significant.

The female protagonists are basically the type who enjoy satisfying battles, perfect for those who like to get straight to the point without any unnecessary dialogue.

It's 2026, and finding a novel where both main characters and supporting characters are normal people is harder than striking gold, so I can accept it if it's abandoned. The main character's growth is very clear, and the supporting characters are also very well-written. I love Wang Ji so much!
