A Great Teacher in the Three Kingdoms

The character of Liu Hong is too contradictory. You say he's incompetent? But the book portrays him as having some ability. Zhang Rang and others are depicted as his lackeys, and he can see that the Han Dynasty is in dire straits, yet he does nothing. This is interesting. A dignified emperor watching the Han Dynasty head towards its demise? What does that mean?

Is he politically idiotic? He's actually laughing at the three Zhuge brothers for serving different masters—that's perfectly normal... Let's change the subject; his brain isn't up to par with history.

Dong Ming always claims he doesn't know the exact time of the Taiping Dao rebellion. The ancient Chinese sexagenary cycle (Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches) uses a 60-year cycle of Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Zi, Chou, Yin, etc. A Jiazi year is a Jiazi year, and the Taiping Dao's slogan was in the Jiazi year, so it can be deduced.

Does the protagonist even have a brain? Openly criticizing the negative influence of aristocratic families in their time—didn't he die a quick death? While there were limitations of the era, intelligent people back then wouldn't have been unaware of these principles; it's just that some things couldn't be discussed openly. With that kind of intelligence, he wants to be a great sage?

I've read about a hundred chapters, and most of it is acceptable; I can even read it with a slightly blurred view. The main issue is the protagonist's behavior, which is a bit confusing. He teaches that practice makes perfect, about productive forces and relations of production, and that everyone is equal and can achieve great things.

Are those who say modern knowledge can't be taught stupid? Knowledge can't be taught because of the monopoly of the wealthy and powerful, not because knowledge is useless. As long as the protagonist isn't afraid to die, there's nothing that can't be taught.

The book has a clear main plot in the beginning, but later it becomes a big pot of mixed stew, tasteless, enough to fill your stomach but not something you can eat all the time.

When writing about the Three Kingdoms, one cannot ignore the powerful clans. Everyone knows that Yuan Shao's family had held high office for four generations, which is impressive, but many people don't know how this status came about. Having read many books about the Three Kingdoms, I've found that many authors lack knowledge in this area.

Well, the author has gone off-topic. The protagonist is a poor teacher. He's there to teach, not to have his students pave the way for him. If he can't create a better future for himself, then he shouldn't push his students into the fire. If he wanted to be a recluse, he should have stayed that way, doing nothing but spreading ideas. Right now, it feels like the protagonist is using his students.

If you're going to be an official, having any special abilities is practically useless! Just be a teacher and be a teacher!
