I Am King of Liangzhu

It seems the author intends to capture the sense of time from tribes to ancient dynasties; the background, language, agriculture, diligence, and wisdom have all been depicted. If the author maintains the style of the first three chapters, this book will undoubtedly be a hit, if not a masterpiece.

It gives the impression that the tribe wouldn't survive without the protagonist, which is a bit over the top. I just saw the part about the rice paddies being flooded and unable to survive? The tribe won't perish without you; any tribe that survives must have its own skills, and it's a well-known one at that. There's really no need to overemphasize the protagonist.

Honestly, without some kind of cheat code to travel back in time, nothing really can be changed. Individuals are just too weak. These kinds of stories usually feature a protagonist who seems to have a built-in Baidu (Chinese search engine); the people around them are like modern people who traveled back in time to ancient times—they may have forgotten specific modern knowledge, but they can grasp things instantly with just a little help.

First of all, it's really jarring! The timeline is set in Shunhua! Honestly, I can't accept the name. In ancient times, people's names were generally very uniform; unless it was the main lineage, they usually used the tribal name! Secondly, in ancient times, the existence of tribes relied on sacrifices and warfare.

Fangfeng was executed by Yu the Great as a warning to others. In Deqing, Huzhou, there is a legend that Yu the Great later learned that Fangfeng was late because he was helping the local people control a flood, and regretted it, so he enshrined Fangfeng as a god. The worship of Fangfeng existed before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

I've read 40 chapters. I read the first half carefully, but skipped around the rest. Did the author get carried away with the writing? A primitive society, a small village of 200 villagers, instead of thinking about how to better develop and survive, they're constantly pursuing how to live a better life. It's just speechless.

The tribe should be renamed, while all others should be called clans for easier intermarriage and management. It's especially important to create smaller clans, such as Li, Lin, Tao, Jin, Shi, Niu, and Ma. The concept of surnames could also be introduced, essentially representing these smaller clans.

I just visited the Liangzhu Museum last week.

This is amazing! 👏 The author has a deep cultural background and a solid foundation in history and farming knowledge. It's a farming novel with no major villains.

There's a Liangzhu site in Hangzhou, but as a mediocre student, I can only post a screenshot from Baidu. I was fortunate enough to visit the Liangzhu Grand Roof Cherry Blossom Avenue
