I've been reading for over a decade without even realizing it. I only pick books I've read myself. If the writing is bad, I won't read it; if it doesn't make sense, I won't read it.

A History Buff's Book Nook: The Song Dynasty
The history of the Song Dynasty is fascinating. It was one of the few legitimate dynasties to last for several hundred years, yet it never achieved true unification before its fall. Its civil officials and generals were all remarkably capable, but it still couldn't shake its reputation as a weak dynasty, losing every battle. Three northern dynasties came and went, while its own territory kept shrinking. It seemed capable of little beyond holding on to what it had. First, its culture: In calligra

Being a minister can't save a dynasty. I read those books by those self-proclaimed experts who claim ministers should develop theories and implement reforms—they're utterly ignorant of their own limitations. A minister's fate is always in the emperor's hands, unless he becomes a powerful minister. And once you become a powerful minister, you have no other option but to become emperor.
I want to share my impressions of the Song Dynasty: a bunch of cowardly and useless cowards, rats carrying guns and bullying their own kind.
It seems even the author of that chapter of the Three Character Classic knew it was poisonous. The ancients were incredibly learned; in terms of classical texts, any Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) could easily surpass the academicians of our country's literary academies. And yet, even several great sages couldn't produce a protagonist.
I've been reading your books since "The First Manor of the Tang Dynasty," but I haven't been quite on track with the last few. I hope you can adjust them a bit. The outline and content need to have good logic and be as free of inconsistencies as possible. Please avoid overly sentimental or overly sentimental writing. That's all I ask for. Just keep updating more frequently!
The plot is alright, but the attempts at being pretentious feel a bit forced. They always force a bunch of awesome backgrounds and make the protagonist omnipotent, from calligraphy, classical Chinese, mathematics, martial arts, military strategy... What can't the protagonist do? A perfect person throughout the ages feels fake, like a real person.
In comparison, the Liao Dynasty was stronger than the Song Dynasty, yet it perished first. The Jin Dynasty was stronger than the Song Dynasty, yet it perished first. The Western Xia Dynasty was stronger than the Song Dynasty, yet it perished first. The Yuan Dynasty, which dominated Asia and Europe, only managed to conquer the Central Plains after more than sixty years.
This book is so good, why are the sales figures so bad? It really proves the saying that good books never make the charts.
The author wrote very well, and it's all finished. So far, the plot is complete and coherent, neither dragging nor mindless, nor convoluted. The writing is skillful and comfortable to read. Although there are a few typos, they do not affect readability. As the saying goes, literature should convey meaning, and I personally feel that the content of a novel is more important.
I read a few chapters, and it's not bad, but I feel confused. Seriously, they were just rescued, their identities unknown, and yet they can be recognized as sons or nephews by dukes and marquises! This is ancient times! A few words and they can be made to obey orders! Do we think people in ancient times were too stupid?
This book is very well written; it takes time to read, like a slow burn. It's a masterpiece among historical works. Many historical novels suffer from a common flaw: misattribution and inaccurate historical events. They fail to reflect the social context of the time. While plot necessity is acceptable, logical consistency is crucial.
