The concept behind this book is simply to replace scholars and soldiers with martial arts masters. Therefore, talent is innate, power is replaced by luck, and officials are forgotten once they are dismissed. Imperial power is replaced by a tree of luck, so, like in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor can dismiss officials at will, but the emperor has to bear the backlash from the officials.
This is a historical fantasy novel, not a fantasy novel. There are no invincible characters; the focus is on political intrigue. There won't be any ridiculous plots like a powerful expert storming the palace and destroying the royal family. There's no overwhelming advantage between first and second-rank officials. 😭 Don't try to apply fantasy novel logic to this.
Myth of the late Ming Dynasty: You're Playing Witty Game with Me
There's also the issue of the Ming Dynasty's imperial family. The Ming Dynasty only had a group of princes surnamed Zhu who were actually pigs. In an era where even keeping a few extra servants would be suspected of rebellion, the Ming Dynasty had no imperial family whatsoever. In addition, there's the issue of the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Starting from the Wanli Emperor, the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard were indeed not valued.
One of the foundations that has already emerged. The Tree of Fortune – Zhu Yuanzhang decreed that the fortune of the world belonged to the emperor, and the fortune of all officials came from the emperor. Zhu Di took the fortune of the princes of the world and poured it into the trunk of the tree. As long as the Ming Dynasty is not destroyed, you are all subjects!
Chapter 239... My review is: It went from a story about high intelligence to one about idiots. I'm outta here.
There's also the question of the royal family's heritage. That's true; after all, it's been over two thousand years. Even pigs can become spirits; without some hidden strengths, who would respect you? The author has also planted some subtle foreshadowing regarding this heritage. Let's see which expert can find them first. As for spoilers, I won't—that would be unethical. 😁
I read a few chapters back then, and the emperor's foray into the martial arts world was already a failure.
The lottery-style game even has a clone feature... You could draw a character, focus the camera on that character, and that would kill time. But with a clone, you can create ten more, then a hundred more. Is the ending going to be "Me and My Civil and Military Officials' Clones Adventure in the Mythical Late Ming Dynasty"?
Personally, I think the protagonist's character design is a bit problematic, and this kind of historical mythology is really difficult to write. I don't know why, but the more I read, the more awkward it felt. I only read three chapters and then subscribed to one (otherwise it wouldn't be published). The Eastern Depot setting is really uncomfortable ╯╰.
