The Water Margin's Ten-Thousand-Gold Marquis

The only good thing about Water Margin is that it tells people the fate of traitors and those who surrender.

Think about the survival stories in *Water Margin*. Why didn't they recruit Chao Gai? If they had, Song Jiang would have inevitably joined Liangshan, leading to chaos. Besides, Chao Gai had the air of a leader but lacked the skills and abilities. Wu Yong was simply useless.

The book is titled "The Marquis of Ten Thousand Gold," but why does the author have to wear a mask in his own self-written and directed novel? It's incredibly cowardly and despicable! Lin Chong was hated by Gao Qiu from beginning to end, yet he never wore a mask or tried to hide and eke out a living.

This is so awkward! It's not that the words are bad, but the main character only has a few hundred people. You should at least have conquered a few cities before saying this, right? This is like you just started your business at a street stall today and immediately said that you'll surpass the world's richest person in the future...

Well... I found it hard to stand by and watch the rules being established, and now I find it hard to stand by and watch all spoils of war be attributed to others... You're bringing this up too early; who would revolt with you if there were no benefits... Instead of living a life of freedom, it's better to wait until you have trusted confidants and military power... Regularization is only appropriate when your power is strong enough... This is just my personal opinion.

He was poisoned to death, and then all those boastful, arrogant scenes of people bowing down to him come up again, especially when it's about rebellion. You think you're so great just because you have a lot of passion? It's embarrassing to watch, okay? He's also a complete waste of physical strength, taking several rounds to defeat even a small fry!

What have you been trying to achieve with Lin Chong? Lin Chong is not a suitable confidant. To put it nicely, he has principles; to put it bluntly, he's indecisive. You could ask him to kill a scholar, and he wouldn't dare.

Was I castrated? It just showed my investment failed, but I ended up with a "King of Losers" badge...

This book is almost falling apart; "The Age of Exploration" is incredibly awkward. Supporting maritime exploration in the late Northern Song Dynasty??? Shipbuilding technology and related navigational science were completely nonexistent, utterly out of touch with contemporary production technology...

You're the first person to dare to act so arrogantly without any special abilities.
