The Great Tang’s Physician King

Goodbye, removed from shelves, deleted from the book, never to be seen again.

The protagonist, a doctor, lacks medical ethics; despite the book's title, "The King of Doctors," he hasn't saved a single person by chapter 86. The author isn't writing a story to tell a tale, but rather to constantly criticize ancient people and traditional Chinese medicine, and to inject too much personal bias. New readers beware!

What's most lacking right now is historical fiction with high plausibility. The other writing, rushed and haphazard, is simply unreadable. However, I strongly suggest that Cao Xi Jun carefully study the writing style of "More Than Half" and strive to become a master. Many exciting moments are glossed over too easily, making it rather bland and uninteresting, unlikely to attract most readers.

This style is quite good; unlike some Tang Dynasty novels where the story jumps to Chang'an after only a few chapters and then focuses on various connections with powerful figures.

So far, the writing style of the chapters has been very much to my liking. If the author can maintain this style and keep updating consistently, I will definitely subscribe to at least the entire book. Keep it up!

Setting up trash cans in ancient times? Were they just bored? Where would the trash come from? In an era without plastic bags and industrial products, where would you find trash? Kitchen waste? People were starving, how could they possibly have leftovers? Ragged clothes? Would they even be willing to throw them away?

Seeing all the excuses given below made me laugh out loud: plot necessity, fear of medical disputes, claims that Li Shimin harmed the protagonist's mother, fear of retaliation from Li Shimin if the patient couldn't be saved. I just want to ask, as a doctor, what reason would you have to be so heartless as not to save a kind woman, especially one who is your own family member?

I can probably understand why everyone is angry. The main reason is that the protagonist lacks humanity and is overly calculating. Also, even if the protagonist said he studied Western medicine and knew nothing about Empress Zhangsun's illness and couldn't treat it, people would understand.

I abandoned the book after subscribing to the whole thing. If you like Western medicine, fine, but why do you keep belittling Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), saying it can't save anyone? Then try saving someone with Western medicine! It's been hundreds of chapters, and still no one has been saved.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has its advantages, and Western medicine has its advantages. Both aim to treat and save lives, so why the stark distinction? Each has its strengths. The author has been consistently belittling TCM, and I don't understand their motivation. TCM has a long history, but due to the turbulent times, much has been lost.
