To My Former Chuunibyou Self
Somewhere in the vast sea of books, you'll always find one that suits you. Maybe it once kept you up all night, or maybe... well, maybe that's all. Would you read it a second time? Could you keep going?

I like cultivation and historical novels, and occasionally check out fantasy, too. I’ve read every book on this list and recommend only the ones I approve of. I just like them.
A Ten-Year Veteran Reader's Completely Subjective Book List: Historical Fiction
What’s an immortal herb to one reader may be poison to another. That’s just common knowledge in the novel-reading world. I’ll briefly describe what I enjoy and what puts me off. I don’t have any dealbreakers so severe that I’ll drop a book just because one particular thing is present. In general, though, more of what I like and less of what I dislike means a higher rating. My preferences: 1. A clear central storyline, or intense conflict that keeps readers hooked. 2. A well-written romance with

The entire rebel army are saints... I can't understand the author's imagination. Democracy isn't impossible, but it needs a foundation. The economy, culture, and productivity must keep up. Are you talking about democracy to someone who can't even read? Are you talking about selfless dedication to a group of people who have been raised in feudal culture for decades?
Wow! 🙂🙂 Following the protagonist not only leads to promotions and wealth, but also forces him to sell his family property.
I'm reposting something; the author can come in and learn from it.
Historians and history enthusiasts alike tend to stereotype the death of Yue Fei. For example, Qin Hui, Zhang Jun, and even Zhao Gou were portrayed as villains full of evil intentions, while Yue Fei was depicted as a pedantic and loyal minister. Even the death of Yue Fei is often attributed to issues such as the so-called "welcoming back the two emperors".
Isn't the author's thinking a bit ahead of its time? You have only one city and a few thousand soldiers, yet you prohibit your generals from engaging in commerce. You expect people to follow you without offering any benefits?
Now that I've finished watching it, let me share my thoughts so that others can avoid making the same mistake. Overall, there's not a trace of war and battle, making it quite soporific. The author's view of society is overly idealistic (and unrealistic).
Why force his subordinates to sell their family property? The subordinates said that their families were large and they couldn't survive on their salaries. The protagonist said that his family farmed their own land and they weren't allowed to hire anyone. So why did he join the army?
The protagonist is ruthless; he cuts off people's livelihoods. Isn't he afraid of his subordinates rebelling?
It can only be said that democracy is not a panacea; the administrative efficiency of medieval democratic parliaments was simply incapable of governing the country.
The more I read, the more awkward it became. You need to know how the new China came about. The new China was established because the imperial power declined and new ideas were introduced. You're dreaming if you're trying to establish republicanism when the imperial power was at its peak and the emperor was supreme.
The premise is good, but doesn't the author bother to fix the plot holes? In chapter 14, the character's hand was shot and it was said to be a bone injury, but afterwards, he was perfectly fine. And those 300 rebel soldiers, barely even able-bodied men, fought two battles without suffering any losses, like they were cheating? Later, a bunch of peasants suddenly became cavalry after getting horses?
