The Tang Dynasty's Village Head

The plot is illogical. In a cannibalistic era, the protagonist demands food from people with empty words; some parts are comical, and the protagonist doesn't even have a knife.

This is completely a commoner's mentality. Even today, let alone in ancient times, a military commander has bodyguards. This person clearly doesn't value their own life or the lives of their family, killing so many people as if everyone else is kind. This has been the case since the very first chapter. It's impossible that no one warned them, yet they still went their own way.

I came back specifically to leave a comment. The novel had a good start, but its biggest flaws were the pacing—it was too fast. Fast pacing is the worst thing for farming novels; development needs to be gradual. Also, the part about fighting bandits—a normal person would avoid them if possible, or at least try to contact the authorities, not organize a group of farmers to fight them.

Here's a map that's currently mentioned in the book.

It's well-written, but I can't continue. Chapter 37, where two people face a well-organized Tibetan army of over a hundred who have massacred a village, is somewhat bearable. But in Chapter 38, someone asks the protagonist to help build a canal, and the protagonist refuses and even insults them, then immediately gives the canal blueprints and construction methods to the Tibetan army.

At first glance, it seems well-written, but upon closer inspection, it's actually a complete mess.

The abrupt shift from farming to warfare completely disrupts the novel's narrative. While well-written, both the farming and war storylines have their own appeal. If you skip ahead from the grain delivery section onward, it's unlikely you'll see a return to the farming theme anytime soon.

If you don't like reading an author's book, you can write your own, or simply not read it. Why do you keep posting negative and resentful book reviews? Do you have nothing better to do? It always feels like the author's writing doesn't meet your expectations. However, the author's update schedule seems a bit inaccurate, but the content itself seems quite good.

Just pick any title for this book, don't use the name of the Tang Dynasty.

The village had several hundred people but only a little over 500 mu of land, which was less than the average level at the time, less than one mu per person. The average was at least ten mu. The author lacked agricultural knowledge.
