Starting with the Illegitimate Son of the Yuan Family in The Story of Minglan

The romance in this storyline is rather awkward to watch. Why does he have to marry Minglan? There's no emotional foundation between them, and you're already a count. You should be considering Zhang Da Niangzi. Besides, in ancient times, civil and military officials were not compatible. If you marry the illegitimate daughter of a civil official, how will you establish yourself in the military?

I've banned a fellow reader for the first time because the discussion got a bit too sensitive. It's no longer just a simple discussion about civil and military officials; it's gotten to the system itself. This is a very dangerous sign. The crucial point is that this friend has set their account to private and is a regular member. I don't know what they're up to. I've deleted their post.

To be honest, there are too many schemes and plots. It's obvious the audience isn't here to see the protagonist pull off these scheming maneuvers. Besides, author, those supposedly brilliant plots seem ridiculous, childish, and stupid to me! Write more plot! Stop with the scheming; it's pointless.

When I think of Yuan Benchu, the first person I think of is Yuan Jia's illegitimate son.

Please don't take offense, just wanted to vent. I wonder if you even feel this way about your novel. It feels like you're doing homework, or rather, copying homework. You've barely changed anything, just added a character. It completely lacks its own style, and the protagonist is like a machine; you haven't given him the necessary personality, thoughts, or style.

To be honest, the protagonist is really something else! He can cuddle and kiss a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl! He marries her at sixteen and wants to have children! Given the medical conditions of ancient times, frankly, this isn't recommended! The optimal age for women to give birth is 22 to 28 years old. There's a difference of one or two years depending on individual constitution!

Judging from the plot, I think this book could even have a monkey-themed version of Dream of the Red Chamber later on 😏

Brother, can you write something else? This endless spiel about the Sheng family is just awful. You're such a bootlicker!

I've read about half of this book, and to be honest, it's alright. But for a historical romance novel, it insists on including so much political intrigue and power struggles without capturing the essence, making it a bit awkward to read.

Putting everything else aside, has the author ever been to school? More precisely, has the author ever learned how to write essays? The punctuation is a mess; it left me completely bewildered. No matter how well you write, it will discourage readers. It's exhausting to read.
