The Literary Hero of Great Song

Let's leave aside the beginning of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and the later "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Southern Song Dynasty" are ridiculous. You have to understand the taboos in ancient times. To publicly slander the emperor and curse the Song Dynasty's demise in front of everyone—even Emperor Renzong, with his benevolence, would find this intolerable.

I've been waiting for a book like this about the Song Dynasty.

Someone told him to get lost, so can't he even offer some lighthearted criticism? After all, the author didn't write a mindless wish-fulfillment novel. Even Su Shi was humiliated by the Wutai Poetry Case, let alone a medical apprentice? Or is this a feudal dynasty that has achieved freedom of speech?

No cheat codes, yet he wants to save the country. No real skills, yet he wants to show off. It's embarrassing to watch. A kid constantly shouting about saving the country—what a waste of his past life! One person saving the world, with nothing to his name—they'll definitely build airplanes and cannons later, and they'll jump straight into modern society.

Is it really okay for characters from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to appear in this? Cursing the downfall of a nation, cursing descendants to be male slaves and female prostitutes—and it's all fine? Any normal person would find that unbearable, let alone in ancient times. Besides, it seems like all the novels I've seen written like this have failed; I wonder if there are any exceptions.

I read the latest version of the book, but gave up. Here are the reasons: 1. The main character's age is an issue; he's a 10-year-old child, haha. 2. Does the author have some misunderstanding about numbers? Does he even understand? Millions of strings of cash? An ordinary family's annual expenses are only a few strings. A famous courtesan earning millions of strings a year? Are you kidding me?

The biggest flaw in this book is that it plagiarized "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". Copying plot elements from "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" is indeed satisfying and can resonate with readers. However, the timeline doesn't match up! While it's true that the story of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" takes place in the Northern Song Dynasty, specifically during the reign of Emperor Renzong, it's more than…

Ugh, it's the same old story of marrying a princess, and the senior sister has to become a concubine again. I'm so sick of this trope.

I couldn't resist downloading the app and saying: What a pity! The requirements for authors in the historical fiction section are extremely high, and this threshold is even more difficult for those with non-fictional settings. I've only read historical fiction for the past five years, and I have a deep understanding of this. In terms of content and plot, it's passable.

The writing is alright. Why is the plot so stupid?
