The Mad Emperor of the Ming Dynasty

This book is absolutely amazing! The author is incredible! It's fucking so good!! I'm definitely not a paid shill. If you don't like it, come back and attack me! It's fucking so good! I'm uncultured, but it's just so good!

The first dozen or so chapters describe how the author wanted to clarify a fact: the civil officials of the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty weren't fearless of death, but rather fearless of the emperor. This was because the emperors of this period, in order to appear as wise rulers, dared not kill civil officials.

This book is a matter of personal opinion; the plot isn't terrible, but the dialogue definitely isn't my cup of tea. I wish the author continued success with their writing.

To put it simply, this book is best read without thinking. The author likely hasn't read the history of the Ming Dynasty, and probably doesn't understand basic national policies or the reasons for the decline of ancient dynasties. In short, don't try to think through this book. It's highly exaggerated and purely for entertainment.

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, once said that the world will never lack people who want to be officials, nor will it lack people who are capable of being officials. Killing a batch of corrupt officials will immediately allow for the recruitment of a new batch. Zhu Yuanzhang went mad with killing.

Going on an incognito visit is suicidal; it's insane.

I've noticed that authors writing about the Ming Dynasty always end up with protagonists who compromise and compromise. This applies to everyone from emperors to time travelers. Even an ordinary person, when their life is threatened, would instinctively resort to ruthless measures. In Jinling, only a few people were executed, then the rest were let go.

I've been thinking about this: does the author have a thing for Black people? Giving them an army and calling it the "Black God Army"? Even their own country's army doesn't have such a powerful name. It's a shame this novel is so bad. 😒😒

I genuinely love this book and hope more people will come to enjoy it. The author writes very well; everything is designed smoothly and naturally. The author must have put in a lot of effort, as many parts are written with great care.

It's a fast-paced, exciting read, unlike other historical fiction which are either slow-paced or overly literary. This book is fast-paced and enjoyable, but it lacks logic and is too focused on violence. Readers who prefer historical fiction might find it a bit overwhelming.
