[Pinned] My reviews are too vague or focus too much on the early parts of a book, and they’re not very well written! If you’d like me to revise a review, leave a comment. I really will replace or edit it if needed, no empty flattery! I’ve been reading web novels for 16 years, and I’m so tired of mindless garbage. Books that are already popular don’t need me to recommend them. I mostly recommend niche stories, and hope they won’t be overlooked! My main interests are historical and urban fiction,

The writing is too chaotic. The protagonist is a 10-year-old boy, and I couldn't understand him after he entered Beijing. One minute he's encountering bandits, the next he's doing business on the border. He's running all over the country. It's incredibly confusing.
My Thoughts as a Reader
I've seen many comments and questions, some saying there's too much classical Chinese, others saying there's too much scientific information and it's too verbose—in short, people think this book is bad and not enjoyable. Of course, it's possible that some well-meaning readers feel it's a pity this knowledge-rich and content-rich novel isn't more popular, and thus offer suggestions to the author…
The writing is good, but that's why this book didn't perform well! 1. There's too much scientific fluff, and it's all long, drawn-out sections of it! The dialogue and plot are the key parts of the book; doesn't the author really understand that? 2. I can understand why there are no female protagonists in cultivation novels!
Novels should prioritize plot and content. Excessive scientific explanations and narration only overshadow the main story, and lengthy monologues of characters' inner thoughts detract from the reading experience. This is why authors with excellent writing skills and solid knowledge may not have popular works.
The author is amazing! Besides their penchant for writing academic papers, the plot and characters are both excellent. I've stayed up all night skipping chapters to get to this point. As a girl, it's rare to see such well-developed female characters.
The author has mentioned atheism several times... The problem is, it feels very incongruous for someone who has traveled through time to talk about atheism.
This book is greatly underrated. A very good book, superb!
Some people who praise Zhang Juzheng are truly laughable! They think they know everything just because they see a few marketing accounts praising him, and they actually dare to call him the greatest prime minister of all time. What a big mouth they have!
The author wrote the book diligently, and the writing style is quite good; much of the content was quite educational. However… (coughs), the book's performance was poor. The author would suddenly insert lengthy sections resembling narration or biographical sketches during tense moments, severely impacting the plot's continuity and the novel's entertainment value.
Damn, I kept skipping around while watching. It's just a single sentence, but they insist on quoting countless sources and going on and on.
