The Transcendent Earl

I just started watching it today, and I feel like the story of Jiancheng is incredibly addictive! It's terrifying to be uncultured! Author, could you at least do some research on urban development before you start writing? The Ming Dynasty moved its capital from Nanjing to Beijing, building upon the existing Yuan Dynasty capital, Dadu. It took 300,000 people 14 years to complete!

Let me give the author some basic information: someone who grew up drinking wine is unlikely to like baijiu (Chinese white liquor). There are many online experiments showing foreigners drinking baijiu and videos of their reactions, which you can refer to. Not everything can be written into a book, and the idea that baijiu will suddenly become popular is unrealistic.

After watching part of it, I felt... It was quite toxic, so I'll just briefly mention the toxic aspects. 1. Selling alcohol: I've noticed many novelists like to sell alcohol. Well, do you think ancient China didn't have high-purity baijiu? I wouldn't say over 50%, but it certainly had 40%. Why didn't anyone drink it? Because it didn't taste good!!

Why do all the main characters so eagerly liberate serfs when they first start developing their power? I won't even mention whether other factions would object, but your own faction's people wouldn't agree either!

Dear author, is there no chapter 32?

Dear author, let's make a deal, can we please not emancipate the serfs? From a modern perspective, emancipating serfs might seem like a benevolent act, but it only has a positive effect when considered within the context of the times and the current state of social development.

The protagonist liberating serfs? I'm speechless. Giving them hope, promoting some to free status—those are all acceptable approaches. Direct liberation is ridiculous. The protagonist's knights also have serfs. In an agrarian society with serfs, serfs are wealth. Are you sure your knights won't tell your father? And your father isn't stupid; doing this would be going against the entire nobility. You'd be crushed, like King Zhou of Shang.

The author believes that most readers of this book are drawn to the knightly lords, not the Industrial Revolution. If developing agriculture can lead to industry, then there's no point.

This book is full of paid trolls; there's no need to read it.

The chaotic city building... I guess I'll put up with it for now. 2000 Local residents, and you bring in 10,000 outsiders to settle down. It'll take 2000 people a year or two to absorb 10,000? Fine, I'll tolerate that. Because you can't stand it, you want to liberate the serfs? I'll tolerate that too.
