Great Ming: I, the Emperor’s Craftsman, Set Him Straight

I cast two monthly votes just for that line, "Educating them is Confucius's business; our task is to send them to see Confucius."

Why release innocent people so easily? Shouldn't their families die? They are the beneficiaries. Having enjoyed the benefits, they naturally have to bear the consequences. They deserve to die. Why did ancient times practice the punishment of implicated relatives? Because filial piety was paramount. Having no descendants was considered utterly unfilial.

The plots are becoming increasingly homogenized; they all involve a high-ranking official killing the emperor or the protagonist for his own benefit, only to be overthrown and have his entire family executed. Anyone with a brain knows that when you have money and status, you're terrified of death. Aside from a very few gamblers, most people won't take significant risks. Money lost can be earned back slowly, but the loss of a family is the real end.

I must say, the author writes very well, and I really enjoy reading it. I haven't worked for several months because I'm taking driving lessons, and my finances are almost exhausted. Sometimes I think about whether to read pirated versions to save money, but then I remember that the author won't earn money from pirated versions, and without money, the author won't be able to eat, and without food…

Why would the lower classes rely on gambling for a living? Why would they gamble or sell their money when they have better options? Many women in ancient times were sold into prostitution with no choice. Following the principles of land redistribution and liberating productive forces, society would inevitably be built together. What's the point of preventing liberation?

Are these 598 chapters really that outrageous? Did you really stop using your brain when writing this book just to ride the wave of current events? What do you take your readers for?

It seems like the book is nearing its finale. I suggest changing the title and chapter titles. The title says it's about training a carpenter emperor, but it didn't work out. The chapter titles say it's about becoming a great emperor, but Zhu Youxiao almost became the Ming Xizong Emperor.

I've recently run out of ideas, spending all my time writing about liberating women. The infrequent updates really discourage me from subscribing.

This kind of story is best enjoyed after it's finished.

The beginning was good. But after he became an official, he spouted pure nonsense. The author lacks social experience and common sense. He knows nothing about agriculture, economics, or military affairs.
