Please, Let Me Be a Foolish Emperor

I'm curious, the protagonist is doing something he thinks is ruining the country's fate, but in reality the opposite is true. But if he discovers the problem, will he turn around and remove those people instead? This is just a personal opinion. Regardless of how the novel is written, national strength always increases over time; that's a fact, otherwise the novel would lose its appeal.

The protagonist is incredibly dim-witted. As a modern person who transmigrated to the present day, how can he not know how to be a tyrannical ruler? He doesn't learn from the experiences of so many predecessors: building palaces, imposing corvée labor, levying tributes of rare stones and flowers, increasing various taxes, holding numerous imperial concubine selections, dismissing or exiling…

So far, the reading experience is quite good. Don't let other people affect the pacing; follow the author's own ideas. Some people like stories that focus on the main character, but others, like me, prefer ensemble pieces. Some novels don't need too much of a main character's screen time. To put it bluntly, there are tons of books that focus on the main character, so why would I read this one?

Many novels about incompetent rulers are just a facade; they often end up being abandoned midway through.

You should change it to: "I clearly possess the Ziwei destiny, but I didn't want to be emperor. Yet, I was forced into it. I have the Nine-Nine Ziwei destiny, the Nine-Nine Supreme destiny. Because my destiny is so noble, my fortune so boundless, I've always hidden it, afraid of being exploited. I kept it a secret for over a decade.

I couldn't keep going after reading chapters 10 and 1! If you can't write female characters, don't write them at all. What kind of character is this imperial concubine? She's utterly worthless, yet she acts like all men are inferior to women. She dares to spout nonsense the first time she meets the emperor, acting like she doesn't care but is forced to fawn over him. Ha!

I don't even want to read it just from the title. It's bound to end up as another wise ruler, so boring and predictable. Either make it a story of a tyrannical ruler or... He imposed a mad rush of taxes. He held a nationwide talent search. He embezzled military provisions and pay. He allowed various regions to declare independence and permitted land consolidation. Want to study?

Even without using your brain, you can't hold on.

Please don't let me hold back the book; I'm eager to read it!

The author's basic logic is flawed. I know you shouldn't use your brain when reading novels, but this author's approach is far too blatant. A decline in national fortune directly impacts people's lives, and the protagonist wants to lower the nation's fortune without harming the people. It just shows the protagonist has some serious issues. 🙂
