The Age of Feudal Lords

I read nothing and got nowhere. I originally planned to read a farming and conquest novel with some family drama and brainless villains as a break, but now I realize that farming and conquest is the real break.

Liu Yan is a failure I've always felt this character wasn't very useful; she didn't achieve anything significant until now, and her character development was poor. And to give her Ma Chao? I couldn't stand it, so I just left. A female Ma Chao? I just laughed.

Author, haven't you ever reflected on your own work? Self-reflection is essential for improvement, and listening to good feedback is crucial for better writing. You don't even know what you've written anymore. We want to see a story develop gradually, expand slowly, and evolve through conquest.

This introduction... Have you forgotten whose territory the starting point is? 🤐

This book is a bit retro, full of frustration and lacking any satisfying moments, but the writing style is quite good. The way the protagonist is treated in the early stages...

I saved eight chapters and finished them in two minutes; it wasn't very interesting. If this were a story focused on individual strength, this approach wouldn't be so bad, but it's a lord-centric story. Instead of developing his territory, the lord is off on adventures, and the quests involving the fragments of the primordial world require such adventures.

No, bro, your writing style is a bit toxic. Pioneers, do you even know what the word "pioneer" means? Go look at how white people colonized Native Americans. Do your subordinates have some ideas? Do they like to jump around? Yuwen Hu gave his men orders to their deaths, and none of his players dared to say anything. How can there be such a huge difference in character?

I've given up on this book. To be honest, it's a fantastic book at the beginning, but the later parts are frustrating.

I'm giving up. Even a good premise is useless. The focus is lost; it's supposed to be a power struggle, but it's turned into urban melodrama. There's plenty of content to cover, but they insist on cramming in the soap opera. Bringing in a villain like Wu Hui is disgusting and ruins the plot.

In ancient times, the top military officer directly intervened in the imperial examination system, which was the foundation of the civil service bureaucracy. (The order was issued by Liu Yan herself and executed by her soldiers, bypassing the civil officials in charge of the examination.) This is not a matter of fairness at all, but a very serious political incident. If you still don't understand after I've said all this, it just means you have no political talent.
