Heroes of 1644

Why did Sun Chuanting lose to Li Zicheng? The Ming government's efforts to procure provisions for Sun Chuanting had reached a point of extreme urgency, with "village elders hanging themselves and porters drowning in the river. The people were in a state of panic and didn't know what to do," yet Sun Chuanting's troops still ran out of food.

This book feels much worse than the last one, and it's also quite watered down.

I suggest the author promote their new book on the website "Fifteen Years Ago". Many people don't know where to find it.

Leek's writing is decent. As seen in the previous fifteen years, he wasn't simply trying to write a lighthearted, enjoyable story, but rather a realistic time-travel novel. While there were indeed some shortcomings in the details of fifteen years (relatively speaking), and it was quite good compared to other time-travel novels, Leek was still not satisfied. Therefore, this book is more refined.

After reading "The Fifteenth Year of Chongzhen," I felt that Jiucai Dongnansheng is a rare author who is very familiar with the history and war details of the late Ming Dynasty. The plot is tight, and although it's not a fast-paced, light novel, it's still very engaging.

I gave up after reading chapter 72. Reason: I simply cannot believe this was written by an author from the fifteenth year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign. Besides the crude, one-dimensional character descriptions, the complete lack of character and environmental development, and the absence of literary flair—making it a tedious read—the most serious issues are twofold: First, it's mindless.

Author, do you know that stopping updates without a reason is the worst thing you can do to your character? Writing is a profession, and as such, it demands a professional attitude. Even if you need to take a break for a day or two due to other commitments, you can ask for leave in advance and make it up later. Taking long breaks without a valid reason only makes readers think you're an unprofessional author who might abandon a project at any time.

I've been a long-time fan, reading since 2015, and still going strong now. Keep up the good work, author! Let me know if you encounter any difficulties.

Because I've been quite busy this year, I need to temporarily put the book on hold. Although I've pointed out many shortcomings of the book, especially in today's chapter review. However, I have faith in the author and the book, so I'll pay 10,000 coins now and read it again next year.

I suggest changing the title: "My Life Building Flintlock Rifles in the Late Ming Dynasty". Dude, you've been writing for four months, and you haven't even built a bolt-action rifle, let alone a gun. The writing and story are miles behind what they were 2015. We're all adults; who's interested in reading Detective Conan?
