Seizing the Deer at the End of the Sui

1.92 Meters tall and weighing 158 jin (74 catties), are you a skinny guy or a military general? You must weigh at least 200 jin (100 kg).

It's been thirteen hours since the last update; even the donkeys in the production team dare not rest like this.

Just finished reading it, and it's really well-written, far surpassing the skill of these current authors who write fast-paced historical novels. It's been a long time since I've seen this kind of epic tale of power and beauty, of traversing lands and rivers! Nowadays, authors like to add all sorts of random things, making their writing neither fish nor fowl, turning it into nothing more than mythological fiction. I hope this author can maintain this aged, refined flavor.

Historical fiction, devoid of power, profit, or lust? Someone would choose power over women? Eunuchs? In ancient times, with a severe lack of entertainment, beauty reigned supreme. When basic needs were met, lust arose. Even the wealthy considered lamps a luxury; most people worked under the moonlight. So, busy in the fields during the day, and then... Well, that was the norm.

After reading over thirty chapters, I can tell from the chapter about the woman surnamed Du that the author is terrible at writing romance scenes; it's toxic. Here's a suggestion for authors: if you want to write ten sentences about a romantic scene, condense it into one or two sentences. Write one chapter, then condense it into ten sentences.

It's alright. The power struggles at the end of the Sui Dynasty are relatively rare, so I hope it's a good work and not just a wish-fulfillment story. The relationships and actions of the characters need to be logically sound. A little historical research would be even better. It's not that I dislike wish-fulfillment stories, but I only like those that are logically sound.

Having come in first place so many times, did the author feel my love?

Chapter 84 is highly toxic. While I don't object to clichés in reading, I object to meaningless, plot-fighting moments that don't advance the story. Buying a small gift and immediately drawing a sword, needlessly making enemies, showing absolutely no social skills—the author definitely used a ghostwriter starting with Chapter 84.

I've read many books that explore the complexities of marriage, but this one is the worst. Some authors treat marriage as a stepping stone to advancement, depicting dozens of power struggles that are captivating. Others portray marriage as a clean and straightforward transaction of interests.
