The Qin Dynasty's Legitimate Heir

What's the point of constantly suppressing the protagonist's identity? Everyone knows the protagonist's true identity: Qin Shi Huang didn't want Fusu to ascend the throne, and he knew his health was declining due to malaria. Why suppress the protagonist, waiting for Qin Shi Huang's death and another Qin-era rebellion to occur, then having the protagonist turn the tide? Why introduce him so early?

To elaborate, this book is undoubtedly a masterpiece of Qin Dynasty time-travel fiction. Although the plot develops rather slowly, this is due to its unique style. While the entry point has a personal touch, it doesn't detract from the overall reading experience. I personally enjoy reading classics like the *Zizhi Tongjian* and *Records of the Grand Historian*.

To be honest, I'm starting to lose track of the protagonist's logic and the author's intentions. Given that the First Emperor doesn't acknowledge his kinship and doesn't know he's the tenth prince, the protagonist only has two paths. Either he waits for the First Emperor to die and then helps him seize power, or he seizes power himself.

The writing style and logic are good, although it feels a bit like following a trend. The protagonist is currently quite intelligent; we'll see how he performs later. However, a boy's appearance changes drastically around age 10 as he grows to 18 or 20, generally resembling his father or mother.

Female lead: If you prefer a single female lead, you can look elsewhere. This one features three women at once, but the romance is underdeveloped, which is quite addictive. Warning: There's also a bizarre, over-the-top, action-packed plot where he kills about twenty people for a woman, then, despite being sentenced, ignores his soldiers' warnings and runs out of the designated area to rescue…

I'm almost at my wit's end! Over 300 chapters! Basically, nothing in history has changed! The King of Qin's image is becoming more and more of a paranoid freak. The protagonist's actions feel like incompetent ravings; the plot has only progressed about 20% in over 300 chapters, and two out of three chapters are just pointless dialogue.

I'm leaving after just two more rounds of verbal sparring, and this post is my proof. There were a few chapters where the verbal sparring stopped. Now it's back to its frenzied pace, lecturing us all at the same time. We're not elementary school students; do you need to lecture us like Qin Shi Huang? I initially thought it was well-written, but after so much preaching, I don't want to read anymore.

After much deliberation, I've decided not to recommend or vote for this book. The author's writing is too depressing; logically, it's time to reveal the author's identity, but they haven't considered doing so. Could it really be, as some have speculated, that after the First Emperor's death, there will be another struggle for supremacy? If that's the plot, I'm abandoning the book. 🙏

Does reading Taoist texts for ten years constitute Taoist cultivation? In other words, can reading books lead to immortality?

Writing about the pre-Qin period is very difficult without a solid foundation in classical texts! I hope you continue and don't abandon the project.
