Jin Tempering

It's becoming increasingly unclear what the protagonist's political leanings are. If you say he's advocating for the people, he seems to do nothing except prevent the Five Barbarian Invasions. If you say he's upholding the imperial authority, he doesn't hesitate to break the law, kill, solicit favors, and act corruptly.

I've read over ten chapters and it seems pretty good, but I secretly think the chaotic beginning was more enjoyable (why? Because of the dumplings 🤭). Here is a list of the girls who have appeared so far: 1. Yang Zhi (Queen Cleopatra! Queen Cleopatra! Queen Cleopatra! Important things must be said three times! 😍) 2. Jiang Jun (a favorite concubine of the crown prince in history)

It was foreseeable that this book would not perform well. Firstly, he was serving a foolish and arrogant ruler who refused to listen to advice. Secondly, the protagonist's mindset is too focused on romantic relationships. Thirdly, after the coup succeeded, knowing the general trend of history and having already gained fame, fortune, and power, they had no reasonable plan for the future, so they felt very frustrated.

I've already bought all the tickets out of respect for Luan Qing, but I really can't continue reading this one halfway through. Every single subplot revolves around lust and new women. I don't object to harem novels, but the plot development is just too messy and disorganized. After finishing this, the author should just retire from the genre and leave Luan Qing with a good impression.

The author should prioritize power struggles over romance. The plot should be driven by strategic planning, not mere romantic entanglements.

The author has an excellent grasp of history, but the protagonist instantly becomes a simp whenever he encounters a beautiful woman, turning the historical novel into a romance. Most importantly, the protagonist lacks any initiative, simply drifting along with history without changing anything in the end.

The protagonist seems to have a split personality. On one hand, he accuses the Empress of murder and disregard for the law, while on the other hand, he attempts to assassinate Rong Hui. His standards are quite flexible.

It feels like he's living for women; the contradictions and turning points all revolve around women, and the life-or-death struggles they're in.

Historically, Rong Hui dared to kill Wei Guan because the King of Chu gave the order. In the story, what gave him the right to kill the Grand Protector of the court? That's too far-fetched. What's the point of killing someone purely for the sake of the plot?

Double standards, artsy type, sycophant, good lackey The seamless switching between these main and supporting characters is disgusting. I dropped it after reading the latest chapter. And as for the hell chapter, all I can say is, what the hellish thing was written?
