Completed Books I've Read, for Avoiding Pitfalls and Curing Reading Slumps
I've read all the novels on this list. First, I'll share my personal impressions of each one. Then I'll do my best to point out its potential pitfalls. Everyone has different deal-breakers, so I might miss some, and you might find these issues perfectly acceptable. Or maybe you'll be grateful I tested the waters for you. That's good too XD

First of all, I am a complete novice when it comes to history, and I only have a general understanding of Qin Shi Huang. I was only somewhat impressed by him after reading a few articles about him. First, the Qin Dynasty only lasted two generations. However, the unified ideology of standardizing writing and cart axles was accepted.
Great! Ying Zheng was intelligent enough. (This fits my fantasy of him as the greatest emperor of all time, haha.) Because there are very few historical records about Qin Shi Huang, and many historical materials are highly unreliable; for example, since Sima Qian included Xiang Yu in the Annals of the Grand Historian, is his record of Qin Shi Huang necessarily biased?
For all eternity, sons and grandsons will be slaves of the Ying clan. This description is so offensive. It would be better to just say that the glory of the Qin Dynasty will spread throughout the world.
So many chapters have been written before paper was even invented, and people are believing everything about these supposedly divine objects that don't exist. I'm speechless.
It's a real shame; the part about moving to a local area in the middle of the story was the last straw for readers. This is supposed to be a fictional story, not a performance review. Focusing on local development and promoting new technology in Xianyang are two completely different narratives, and there was no going back. Readers simply didn't want to continue reading.
If you're reading this book for fun and entertainment, it's fine. But if you're looking at it from a historical perspective, or if you've read a couple of high-quality, purely historical novels, then it becomes a bit dramatic.
It's all nonsense, failing to explain a single point clearly. The same question was asked three times by Qin Shi Huang, and the protagonist rambled on each time, with numerous inconsistencies. First, "Whose side are you on?" His very first answer offends the person behind him. Seriously? If the person behind you is your enemy, is that even necessary? Does he have no social skills?
The prefecture-county system was certainly advanced, but whether it was good or bad is another matter. A system must have the conditions for its emergence and be suited to its context. It wouldn't have been feasible for Qin Shi Huang to immediately and comprehensively implement the prefecture-county system after unifying the six kingdoms; there was no foundation for it.
The author should rewrite the first three chapters; they're too verbose and probably deterred many readers.
The protagonist's character is so peculiar. He's incredibly lazy, just lazing around all day, yet when it comes to judging others' crimes, he's ruthless, ready to execute entire families. He's like a cold-blooded killer, and his conversations are full of hidden meanings and veiled implications. All in all, he's a powerful, self-made lazy bum, and yet he's completely uninterested in women. Oh well, as long as it's entertaining, that's all that matters.
