The Rise of the Middle Ages

Every time I say I'll never read another book by this author after it's been abandoned, I end up reading it again as soon as it's released. But "Erliang" is truly a blow to us longtime readers. At least have some sense of responsibility and see things through!

I can't stand it anymore! Author, you should go write a daddy/nanny novel. It's one thing for the protagonist to treat a servant like a little sister, but even if the protagonist has a modern mindset, didn't the maid get proper upbringing? Stepping on the protagonist's feet and questioning him at will is so jarring and takes the story out of the story every second.

I'll take a break and finish writing later. I'll only update once a day, and it's too short and watery. As a long-time reader who has followed me since "Ce Ma", I really can't stand so many good books being abandoned and having bad endings.

What a bizarre character! The protagonist is truly bizarre; he actually broke his promise in front of the entire populace. For governments and leaders alike, credibility is paramount; it's a guarantee of leadership. Even if they break their promise privately, it's one thing—they can simply deny it. (Whether others admit it or not, I certainly won't; shamelessness is all that matters.)

The Middle Ages? The author uses this gimmick, but doesn't even seem to understand what the Middle Ages were like? Every character—village head, lord, bureaucrat—becomes a foil to highlight the protagonist's incompetence. The protagonist's desperate attempts to display his so-called schemes and tactics and achieve success are laughable.

A familiar beginning, a familiar template, a familiar plot, familiar sympathy, familiar characters, a familiar formula... It really is you!

I think developing crossbows right off the bat is a bit much, and the mulberry-dike-fishpond system is clearly Chinese agriculture; I've never heard of this agricultural model in Western Europe. As for crossbows, they require a certain level of handicraft industry, and a poor, underdeveloped place like Zhujiao simply doesn't have the foundation for that.

Every time I say I'll never go to the palace again, I become even more uneasy... It's all Erliang's own fault. He's written so many books over the years, and none of them have a happy ending. I don't even dare give Erliang my vote now, afraid he might just abandon the project someday...

Isn't this just a smaller version of two ounces of white sugar? If this book isn't abandoned, I'll eat three pounds of shit.

You can tell who it is just by looking at the book title and the author's name; he's traded two ounces for a jar!
