Great Ming: I'm Really Just an Ordinary Person

You, someone who can't even be considered an amateur chef, make food that's better than the imperial chefs', and people even want to apprentice under you? Do you really think the ancients wasted thousands of years of their lives? If anyone could learn to cook online and be better than the imperial chefs, that would be amazing.

The protagonist is of average intelligence, not stupid, but he'd have a hard time navigating the officialdom. You should retire to a life of leisure as soon as possible, at least stop hanging around in front of Old Zhu. Others could have killed him with a series of schemes and tricks, but he survived purely because of the protagonist's halo! 😳If you're writing a story about Bo Luan, the male lead either needs to be smart or pretend to be weak to outsmart the enemy, otherwise the plot won't fit.

🙂In the Zhu Dynasty, it's best to find a remote place and live in seclusion.

The part of this book that I disliked the most was Zhu Yuanzhang's incredibly poor attitude towards the doctor who saved his wife and grandson, and who might later save his son. It was as if the doctor hadn't saved his wife and grandson. The other characters were the same; it was as if the protagonist saving the empress and the grandson was a trivial matter, completely unimportant.

Who gave them the confidence to think that in the Hongwu reign, loving the people and being loved by them guaranteed survival? That they wouldn't be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang? 😰This is ridiculous! Were all those hundreds of thousands of people involved in the four major cases of Hongwu corrupt officials? Do they even know what implicating relatives means?

Starting with a doctor as the main character, and given that the protagonist isn't a professional, it's bound to fail sooner or later; there's always something they can't handle...

Playing clever tricks during Zhu Yuanzhang's era was a sure path to death. Any scheme in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands was suicidal. The Embroidered Uniform Guard during Zhu Yuanzhang's time was not the same as the Embroidered Uniform Guard during Chongzhen's era. Zhu Yuanzhang could even know what dishes officials ate at home and how many times they went to the toilet.

The protagonist's ability to surgically cure Empress Ma's appendix is ​​even more outrageous than having a system. This protagonist is only possible because of the author's help; without the author's cheat code, one can imagine how horribly the protagonist would have died!

It's bad enough that the protagonist is bullied by Old Zhu, but he can't even retaliate when a few spoiled brats humiliate him? It's so frustrating to watch.

To say that people in ancient times didn't care about cleanliness is truly speechless. Let me just give you some evidence. In Chapter 23 of Water Margin, "The next morning, the woman hurriedly got up to boil water for washing noodles and scoop out mouthwash, and told Wu Song to wash his mouth and noodles."
