The Way of the Han

The author's portrayal of female cavalrymen is indeed a bit overconfident! It's not about discrimination against women, but this is simply too illogical. Back then, there weren't many men who could become qualified cavalrymen, let alone women. It's not that those living in hardship were necessarily more capable; when people were starving, how could they have the resources? Just because someone can ride a horse doesn't make them a cavalryman!

I don't know if the author reads book reviews, but I really have some things I need to say. I think the emperor depicted by the author is too perfect, yes, as perfect as a born sage. I originally intended to put this at the end, but I'll say it at the beginning. The author is overly focused on portraying the protagonist as a moral exemplar, but you need to understand one thing.

There are too many chapters about women, and then there's the female rider. Nowadays, there aren't many female soldiers who even go to the battlefield, let alone in the era of cold weapons. What's the point of spending so many chapters on that?

Building a female army in a purely ancient setting is absurd.

Liu Bei's lifelong ideal was to restore the Han Dynasty, while Cao Cao, though initially still harboring loyalty to the Han, later became a traitor and rebel as his ambition grew. The author's portrayal of Liu Bei as a villain is an insult to him; I don't know what you're thinking.

You can't understand human language, can you? Whether a female historian, a vice minister, or a female official, the emperor could favor her at will. But by the time she took office, she would all be relegated to being a reserve for the harem. What kind of female official was she? Regardless of her talent, she would all be a joke in the history books.

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, aren't they both more formidable than the female cavalry? They were alright at first, but then it felt like they became completely different people! If this continues, won't the female cavalry cause an uproar? And they didn't even stop the chariot after riding for 20 paces! Let's not even talk about ancient times, just look at it now! Women have a high status, right? Try driving straight for 20 paces in front of your boss and then stopping!

There are several flaws, one is the abolition of eunuchs. Reasonable from now on. It can be used sparingly and the eunuch's rights can be limited in the system. But we can't give up. As I said before, there are some physical labors that palace ladies cannot do using eunuchs.

I suggest the author completely abandon the romance and treat this book as a serious historical novel. After all, the author's romantic storytelling is indeed poor. By playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, as the author has already stated, they can focus on a smaller group of readers who enjoy the main historical narrative. As for the various comments in the book reviews that advocate for the inclusion of female characters, I will simply delete them.

The author's constant mention of female soldiers is really poisonous! How am I supposed to subscribe? Or is academic achievement no longer important? (If it were a special historical setting, that would be one thing, but can't this purely historical background be a little more plausible?!)
