Great Han Hall of Righteousness
The best of the best, quality guaranteed. The plots must feel true to their settings. Most are historical stories that celebrate the righteous spirit of the Han dynasty, and the urban novels are quite good too. Worth sharing. You won't regret reading them!

The biggest flaw of this book is its misplaced direction. If it had been written as a farming and power struggle novel, it probably would have been much more successful. This constant escape and fleeing gets tiresome after a while. People nowadays prefer stories where the protagonist is wise, resourceful, and decisive, rather than those with little ability who rely on luck or the protagonist's…
This novel is highly readable, realistic, and full of passion; it's truly a masterpiece.
The story unfolds gently, seemingly calm on the surface, yet possessing a lingering charm; moreover, the plot develops logically and is cleverly structured.
I think the pig's feet are a bit silly.
It's very well written. Keep writing according to your own ideas and develop your own unique style; I believe it will only get better and better.

First of all, I want to say sorry, author! The writing is excellent! The beginning is fantastic, but the later parts with the relatives are so cloying and annoying; I want to drop it but can't bear to. I'm so conflicted! I want to swear! 😆 Ugh! This is so hard for me! (Speaking up for the author)
A typical "orphanage" scenario from the game's starting point, where a single earthquake wipes everything out. 😁😁
Strategy
