Deceiving the World and Usurping the Throne

There are truly very few books about the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and if a good one were written, it would definitely be a hit! However, the author, in an attempt to stand out, completely altered the background of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, resulting in a loss of immersion for the reader, who then becomes unsure what to read. It's a real shame!

Let me put it this way: traveling to ancient times without inheriting any memories is a complete idiot's mistake. At the very least, you should inherit the way they speak; classical Chinese and standard Mandarin are completely different. Are you going to go there and become mute?

I've read over a hundred chapters, and while the writing is decent, it's a shame it fails to get to the point. What is the protagonist's goal? I was drawn in by the title, which is to seize absolute power and become emperor. But then what? The later chapters first eliminate the idea of ​​rebellion and becoming emperor, and then begin to "implement benevolent governance" and "love the country and…

The author's writing style is decent, but the lack of ambition and ambition in the characters has deterred a large number of readers. The author might feel aggrieved, but many netizens who aren't interested in dominating the genre also expressed strong opinions. Why did the author's writing style drive so many people away? The key is the fictional setting.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period is already a niche genre, and secondly, it's not based on real history. Furthermore, the protagonist isn't a leader of any power. It's a truly niche historical novel, so it's impossible for it to become popular! Actually, the author's writing style is decent, but the choice of subject matter is terrible.

As the title suggests, I didn't expect that Qidian wouldn't allow me to make another cover after I already had a cover before signing the contract. I was ridiculed for this kitten cover, so I'm going to change to a simple and plain one, hoping it will catch everyone's eye. Finally, as is customary, I'm asking for your votes! Please shower me with your votes! Hahahaha!

Of all the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms novels, I only admire "West Wind Tight." I've read it for four or five years and still remember the main characters: sworn brothers Yang Biao and Luo Mengzi; female characters Fu Jinzhan, Fu Ermei, Li Niangzi, Zhou Xian, Hua Rui, and so on; high-ranking officials like the Privy Councilor Wang Pu and Deputy Privy Councilor Wei Renpu; generals Luo Yanhuan…

After reading over 80 chapters, I found that the protagonist was neither good at literature nor martial arts, and his wisdom was inferior to that of the ancients. He was essentially a supporting character or a passerby.

Why do these authors always seem to like infiltrating the system? With enough manpower, they might as well rebel. The system is full of power struggles and obstacles; frankly, infiltrating the system isn't a good choice, especially during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period when power shifted constantly. It takes too long to completely control a force; you can become a general with a large army, threatening the court for supplies and plundering everywhere.

This book is good, but I can only say there are too many elementary school students on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform). Everyone says the protagonist is bureaucratic, but he's not bureaucratic at all. You'd be like that in a company too. When you actually enter society, you'll find that if you don't act like the protagonist, you'll never get ahead.
