A Hero of His Time

To be honest, author, you don't need to push yourself so hard. Give yourself some breathing room. There's no need to force yourself to update at a high intensity all the time just for the sake of your fans. After all, we hope that quality will outweigh quantity. This is just my immature little thought. Alright, that's all I have to say. It's been quite a while since this chapter was posted.

This book weaves together numerous dynasties, figures, and events, but this is not a weakness; rather, it's a strength. Overall, the author has skillfully and extensively connected these elements! The characters in this book are truly remarkable.

Why does everyone want the male lead to rebel and establish his own power? He's a prince consort and a tutor to the crown prince, and his family has been loyal ministers for generations. Why does he have to rebel just because the country is on the verge of collapse? Shouldn't he step forward to save the country during times of national crisis?

I've always wanted to find stories where the male lead is a general, but in current historical novels, the male lead is either a civil official who makes inventions, or a general who doesn't really showcase his strategic skills. This story, however, truly captures the kind of protagonist I've always envisioned.

I haven't read it, but I like to promote new novels. This description is exactly the type I'm interested in; I hope it's an ensemble piece. When I read truly great novels, it's always the brilliance of a group of people, not just one person showing off.

Just wanted to rant about some comments in the comment section who said they hoped the protagonist wouldn't become emperor. Are you kids? Do you want to be purged if he doesn't become emperor? Waiting to be framed? This is a feudal society! The protagonist's achievements will only increase as the story progresses. Do you think any emperor would be so benevolent?

If Qin Shi Huang had died twenty years later, or if Qin Shi Huang hadn't been so ardent towards Confucianism, things would have been much better. The remnants of the six former states, powerful clans, and the complex web of various schools of thought meant that Confucianism primarily absorbed the nobility. Frankly, Confucian culture was far too servile.

The poison took effect during the battle 😭, allowing a hundred men to kill ten thousand.

Remnants of the pseudo-Jin dynasty! Every dynasty ruled by corrupt Confucian scholars is short-lived. Since ancient times, military prowess has been paramount, followed by civil administration. Confucian scholars, using their literary skills to disrupt the law, are corrupt and bring disaster to the country and its people. Powerful families, aristocratic clans, local tyrants, gentry clans, criminal gangs, and unscrupulous merchants all wreak havoc.

Why does Wu Mingda, who has never fought a major battle, dare to become the protagonist's opponent? And what about that prince, who has never appeared in public since childhood? The Yan Prince's lineage all believe that once he returns to Liaodong, he will be able to surpass the crown prince.
