This Ming Dynasty Is Too Brutal

This novel is truly the most annoying online novel ever. It clearly wants to rebel and has the strength to do so, but it insists on manipulating public opinion and winning the hearts of the people. If I'm not mistaken, it's also about building a water power station. They could have built a water station by now.

This is the worst time-travel novel I've ever read that's set in the Ming Dynasty. Go look at how other people write time-travel stories; the protagonist even has a spatial portal and is a prince, yet he's worse than a commoner in other people's novels. With your level of writing, you should just go to sleep.

Just looking at the chapter titles makes me not want to read it anymore. Rifles and machine guns are already being used, the Jurchens haven't been defeated yet, the emperor isn't dead, and he's still just a prince... What the hell is this?

After reading today's chapter, I have to say a few words. Don't go to extremes. What does it mean to be a "watchdog" for the people? Who in the world would willingly serve as a watchdog? People risk their lives for you to secure a future, not just for the status of a watchdog. Even a poor nobody wouldn't work for you. To put it bluntly, the people might not even appreciate it. Remember, don't try to implement democracy in ancient times or feudalism in modern times; it's suicidal.

I almost died laughing when I saw the protagonist go to buy a prop gun. Wouldn't it be better to just buy seamless steel pipes? They're only about 1 yuan per centimeter, and each pipe is 60 to 80 centimeters long. Then buy a nail gun used for renovations, remove the cap and replace it with a seamless steel pipe, and you have a simple bolt-action rifle-like weapon.

A few large, modified excavators swept through the enemy lines; it was a waste of time and money to deal with those guns and cannons.

I haven't started reading the book yet, it's still being read and I'm building up the content, but I've already subscribed. Author, please write faster! I currently have 7 monthly tickets, I'll give you 2 for now (that's the daily limit, the total limit is currently 5). I can't help it, I'm poor, I can't afford to give tips, my support is just a full subscription + 13 recommendation tickets per day + the monthly tickets I can cast.

The first few dozen chapters of this book have already incorporated all the traditional tropes: time travel leading to a wife, selling antiques in the city, encountering a policewoman on a bus, being ignored when buying a car, etc. I could still read it five years ago, but not now; the tropes have been overused.

What era are we living in? Why are you still writing about things being brought back becoming antiques? And how can a time portal accelerate time? Why doesn't the protagonist age? Why don't their clothes age quickly? Also, don't write about battles of wits and courage in a double-portal story; just use technology to overcome obstacles.

This is easy to get. Just go abroad, get a 100 AK rifle, and forget about defending a city; you can wipe the enemy out in open field battles. Don't say it's hard to buy; guns are legal in many places, like the US. You can also buy them in Africa. As long as you have money, you don't need to do anything yourself; someone will deliver them to you. Then just push through.
