Historical Turmoil and Power Struggles, Plus Showbiz, Both Chinese and Foreign. Finished Stories Rarely Put the Protagonist Through the Wringer.
History, single-person transmigration, wars for supremacy in troubled times, no System. For Chinese history, I mainly recommend the Warring States, the end of the Qin, the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the end of the Sui, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the late Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing. The military is the main focus. The protagonist generally takes charge, and most start from humble beginnings. A few entertainment novels I personally think are well written, mainly a

This is ridiculous. Are special forces really that useful on the front lines? And this isn't even modern special forces; there's no long-range sniping or demolition. You're just a pretty good scout at best, completely useless in large-scale army operations. Also, the protagonist's younger brother only started school at twelve, and after two years he passed the exam?
[Comment] Coach or instructor?
As far as I know, there are only instructors in the military, not coaches, right? I suggest changing "coach" to "instructor" in the introduction.
You may be a knife for a time, but you'll always be a knife in someone else's hand, even if you time travel.
The reason fewer and fewer people are following this book, in my opinion, is the excessive amount of dialogue. The first few chapters are fine, with the feel of a typical action-packed time-travel novel. However, as you progress, you'll find that the main plot is driven by dialogue, depicting the intrigue and power struggles between people.
In the Song Dynasty, the titles of Zhongshu Sheren and Jishizhong were officials of the two major ministries, holding honorary positions that indicated the officials' social class. In contrast, Ge Xueshi or Zhi Xueshi were honorary positions within the imperial academy, representing the political status of civil officials and serving as close attendants to the emperor.
Many novels feature special forces soldiers who travel through time because they are incredibly useful at the beginning of a team's formation. Without overwhelming force, no one will follow you. However, in large-scale wars, especially in ancient times, special forces are largely useless, or at best, ineffective. Why are special forces so highly regarded in modern times?
The term "Southern Song" is a later designation; the term "Northern Song" did not exist during the Song Dynasty.
Artillery
Cannons weren't that complicated. Blacksmiths existed before the Tang Dynasty, mainly working with seamless steel pipes. Back then, people's heads were square, so a one-cubic-meter furnace was naturally square too. There was no coke (coking technology), no tall furnace to preheat iron ore, slowly melt it, and separate and discharge the slag. It was also impossible to raise the temperature to 1600 degrees Celsius to convert it into wrought iron.
[Comment] Special Forces Instructor
I want to learn too!!! Special forces instructor!!!???
After reading twenty chapters, I am deeply worried about the author's shallow knowledge of Song Dynasty history. It seems that the author only understands the course of historical events, but knows very little about the officialdom and society of the Song Dynasty.
