The Last Emperor of the Great Ming

What's the point of playing without cheating in a hellish start? You can't even finish reading a late Ming Dynasty novel without cheating, because the author usually portrays the opponent's intelligence as that of a pig.

I feel like many people are still deluded with confidence, thinking that even if they transmigrated to the Chongzhen Emperor's era without a system, they'd still die! First, Chongzhen had no money; second, he had no army; and third, he couldn't leave Beijing! Tell me, all you experts, what's the use of promoting a few loyal ministers and generals? How did Zhu Youxiao die?

Natural disasters, man-made calamities, internal and external troubles—unless one has an invincible cheat code, the Ming Dynasty is doomed. It's rotten to the core; whatever policies the emperor implements, they all become exploitation of the people in the provinces. There's no way to win. Even if Liu Xiu came, he wouldn't be able to defeat him without a hundred or so meteorites.

Those who enjoy reading novels set in the late Ming Dynasty generally dislike the Qing Dynasty. This isn't to say the Ming Dynasty was particularly good; its destruction is regrettable, but it was arguably better than some dynasties but not as bad as others.

Author, when you belittle Apocalypse, this book is destined to flop!

Emperor Chongzhen was absolutely a foolish ruler! No reason can cover up the fact that he brought about the downfall of the Ming Dynasty. The living conditions of peasants at the end of the Ming Dynasty were undoubtedly among the worst in history.

If you were to become Emperor Chongzhen, there would be a way as long as it wasn't 15 years later, since there's still time. You could start from scratch, spare no expense to train around 20,000 new soldiers, and then just start killing—regardless of whether they were princes or members of the Donglin Party, just go on a killing spree.

Is the author playing house? This is too childish! At least someone who writes about the late Ming Dynasty should know some history! However, your work lives up to the title. If any reader still manages to finish it, please remember to mourn for me when Emperor Chongzhen dies.

Changing the title to "Emperor" makes it watchable. "Emperor" is the Qing Dynasty's title, but Huang Taiji felt that the Qing Dynasty was more powerful than the Ming Dynasty, so calling him "Emperor" was inappropriate. He believed he should be above the Han emperor, hence the title "Emperor." The author shouldn't be misled by Qing Dynasty dramas.

The late Ming Dynasty was even more difficult than Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising. If Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising was a miracle, then there was no miracle at all for the late Ming Dynasty to turn the tide. Warlords and powerful families were everywhere, and the emperors were like monkeys.
