The Bright Zhou

As always, the protagonist rises slowly from a minor role. Hopefully, he won't be as saintly and indecisive as the protagonist in the previous book. In the author's works, the protagonist always starts with a concubine giving birth to a child, initially down but eventually rising; in my opinion, it always ends up being down until the very end without any real rise.

Sigh, I can't watch anymore. I don't like the protagonist's personality; he talks too much like a saint. Also, who does the author want to make emperor in the end? The crown prince is out of the question, and the Kang family is out of the question. In the end, the protagonist becomes a prince.

The time-travel story doesn't depict the rapid pace of building guns in three years, cannons in five, and assassinating the emperor in ten, giving it a realistic historical feel. However, the author's handling of family relationships is poor. Since it's a realistic historical novel, it's strange that a merchant's daughter is the principal wife.

He was permanently banned after criticizing the author for just a few words.

It's so depressing to watch; fate is always in someone else's hands, manipulated by others. It's obvious that Uncle Seven can't protect the protagonist. He's always the scapegoat, and always there's no resolution. First, he's constantly harassed by his stepmother, then he's constantly bullied by the prefect. There's basically no chance of turning things around.

Originating from Yingying's Hundred Flowers Hall Unfortunately, Liu Niang's infatuation led her astray. Who would have thought that after the storm of their encounter... I will spend the rest of my life with Zhaolang.

It's disgusting. Everyone in this game uses voice changers. Their voices are constantly hoarse; are they sick with their throats? The protagonist, a military governor, has no authority whatsoever; even the soldiers don't know what their commander looks like. Someone who knows nothing about military affairs, serving as a military governor in the late Tang Dynasty, would die without even knowing how.

The book starts by depicting how much the Great Mother oppresses the protagonist, only to have her disappear without a trace later? Was all that earlier, frustrating stuff just for the sake of masochism? The war scenes are also terrible; the enemy never has scouts or sentries, while the protagonist's scouts gather all the enemy's intelligence.

She was proficient in all the arts—music, chess, calligraphy, and painting—and knew the Four Books and Five Classics better than even a private tutor. Logically, someone with such cultural refinement shouldn't be lacking in knowledge and experience. How could she be outmatched by a country housewife?

A new emperor ascends the throne, the Kang family rebels, the protagonist quells the rebellion, and after a few more years becomes a military governor. The new emperor, like Yang Guang, loves building palaces, causing widespread suffering among the people. Military governors and peasant uprisings erupt across the land.
