It's very well written, and I have some thoughts after reading it, which I just had to share.
Whether it's *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio* or *Journey to the West*, the ghosts and demons depicted are all metaphors for people. They were written by talented scholars. There are no harmful demons or monsters in the world, only harmful people. However, most cultivation novels, after reading for a while, turn into online games where you level up and kill monsters.
Many parts are well-written, but I really can't stand that you made up this part of history: King Ying Zheng of Qin was assassinated by Jing Ke! Then the Lü family of Qi hid in the mountains, trained their troops for four generations, and then swept across the world?
Having read up to chapter 54, I feel the protagonist is becoming less and less like a transmigrator and more like a native. The early part is really lackluster. Novels like this that focus on Confucianism are mostly plagiarism (I understand the authors can't write masterpieces), but the plot shouldn't be so bland.
The engagement with that third young lady felt very inexplicable, and upon further reading, it seemed a bit far-fetched for the sake of the book's title, or perhaps even a bit like a sycophantic act. It was frustrating to read.
Reading Notes
Let me briefly share my thoughts after reading the book. I like the gentlemanly protagonist and all the characters in the book. Each one has a distinct personality and isn't stereotypical or one-dimensional. Unlike many online novels where supporting characters are just there to feed experience points, these characters are intelligent, and their actions are logical, which I found particularly…
Is the female lead in the character list the kind who's paired with the male lead? I remember she had someone she was in love with before. If so, is that related to the book title?
Don't bother reading the book review section; it's full of people looking for fast-paced, action-packed stories. 😅 I don't want to watch classic fantasy novels anymore; I only like leveling up and fighting monsters. I can't understand it. 😅🤔
Are you sure you wouldn't get married by 27 in ancient times?
Holy crap, I've only read less than twenty chapters, and this is a great book! I haven't seen one like this in ages, it's so interesting!!! Why are people saying it's not popular? As a nine-year veteran bookworm, I'd give this book a 3.5-Star rating, almost a must-read. I just don't know how it goes later, hahaha, I'll check it out again later. It's just a bit short, not even three hundred chapters, hahaha.
It feels like everyone, human or ghost, is trying to fleece the protagonist.
