The Ninth Prince’s Tale

This book is indeed a masterpiece up to chapter 800. Firstly, the protagonist is not sentimental, knows how to act and retreat appropriately, and is a person willing to sacrifice himself for righteousness. However, precisely because of this, while the protagonist's personality shows some common human traits in certain situations—punishing corrupt officials and fulfilling his duty to the…

Let's start with the strengths. This book really suits my taste. The protagonist is composed yet grounded, intelligent, has a stable and faithful love life, is kind-hearted, loves the common people, values ​​family and friends, and respects women.

The author is very talented, but unfortunately this book is too cruel to the protagonist, giving me the feeling of reading "The human body is forever filled with regret, like water flowing eastward forever," which is not suitable for the current era of online novels.

Overall, it's very unique and doesn't feel overly sentimental. The only downside is that we still don't know who the female lead is. I really hope they focus more on her. This non-harem historical novel is so worth reading; who knows, maybe the next Langye Bang will emerge from here! 😚

Do not lose yourself, do not violate principles, and do not forget your original intention.

For me, this book ended when Yang Liuyan married someone else; it remained on my reading list, but I dared not read it again.

Seeing this, I feel this novel is nearing its end, and I have mixed feelings. Every time I see it ending, I hope it finishes quickly, but when it's actually almost over, I feel a sense of loss. Every day, I can't help but check Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) to see if it's updated; it's become a habit! For years, I haven't found a novel that can replace it.

At first, I was blown away by this book, thinking the author was going to create a protagonist like Huo Qubing—a man of unparalleled talent, capable of conquering the Western Rong, visiting the southern regions, and strategizing flawlessly. But as I read on, something felt off.

There are too many side quests, and the story is severely padded. The commander-in-chief keeps disappearing. The attack on the Southern Song Dynasty was supposed to be a grand and exciting battle, but it ended abruptly. The so-called great threat from the Grass Sea was just like playing house.

It's a very high-quality piece, truly a masterpiece, written with exquisite detail and brilliant prose. However, it's also incredibly heart-wrenching; it was a bit painful to read. Those who liked it dared not even express it, while those who disliked it dared to defy their families – that just doesn't make sense.
