The Many Affairs of the Late Jin Dynasty

Some people are too ambitious, wanting a single female lead? In ancient times, even without wives, you'd need several concubines, right? After the founding of the dynasty, who will follow you if you don't have offspring? How can your subordinates feel secure pursuing you? The female lead can even have 5 or 8 children, right? And does that guarantee they won't die young or have any accidents?

The author should refrain from calling this new dynasty "Han." You're not even surnamed Liu, so why call it "Han"? There are so many names; the name of a dynasty has its own significance, it's not something you can just randomly choose.

I've added it to my bookshelf several times, but every time I pick it up, I'm scared off by terms like "planting the seeds of industry," "industrial blueprints," "military academy," and "attracting investment." 😰

The book is good, but the author provides too much explanation. A chapter goes by with hardly any plot advancement, just a bunch of analysis and explanations. I was waiting for you to descend the mountain and make a big splash, but almost a hundred chapters in, it's still just village skirmishes. I hope the plot can be a bit more compact.

This was in 354 AD, during Huan Wen's first northern expedition. The male lead, Du Ying, is 17 or 18 years old. Wang Meng is 29, Ren Qun is in his early twenties, and Lu Tang is also in his early twenties; they are core members of the group. Below them should be Han Yin, Ma Si, Zhou Sui, and others. It feels like there aren't enough people.

Here are some recommended novels about the Jin Dynasty: *The Tales of the Late Jin Dynasty*, *Reining the Hu Horse*, *The Conquest of the Northern and Southern Dynasties*, *Reborn at the End of the Western Jin Dynasty*, *A Humble Scholar Becomes King*, *The Tang King of the Eastern Jin Dynasty*, *The Han Crown*, *A Superior Scholar from a Humble Background*, and *The Song of Liangzhou*.

There's no point in reading any historical fantasy novel with a single female lead. Over a thousand chapters and no children—your subordinates are way too loyal. If you want to write a single-female-lead fantasy novel, why are you even writing one? Historical fantasy novels are incorporating fan culture elements; they can't live without women. No wonder this book's stats are so terrible.

Stop reading, the main character is impotent, over 800 chapters, married for several years. He doesn't even have a son; I admire the loyalty of his subordinates.

I stayed up all night reading, and read eighty chapters of village brawls. It really made me numb. I've been supporting this series because I like Xie Daoyun, but I couldn't take it anymore after chapter 80. The characters are too one-dimensional, and there is too much unnecessary dialogue.

It's best not to write historical novels with a single female protagonist.
