You Sent Me as a Hostage, and Now You’re Wooing the Enemy Empress?

First of all, the writing style is very mature, the pacing is well controlled, and the villains don't lose their intelligence. The only downside is that the part about opening a bookstore is a bit wordy. This kind of writing style is either from an experienced author using a secondary account or from a big name on another website.

I read about a hundred chapters of the Taoist priests' story and then came back to catch up on my subscription. I've reached chapter 116, so this is the end of my subscription. Overall, the novel is quite interesting, but it's really awkward to read. So this should be a fantasy novel, right?

Is Li Caitan considered a drug addict? In the story, her seductive arts clearly reached the point of influencing others' minds, qualifying as drugging and assault. If it were a male drug addict, he'd probably suffer a terrible death in a typical novel. Why do some people accuse me of double standards for saying she's disgusting? I only talk about women, not men.

I'd like to ask other readers, didn't you feel the protagonist was frustrated? It's a great premise, but I never really felt satisfied with it. Especially the protagonist's situation; without someone else (the Empress), I can't see a future for him.

Doesn't anyone else feel that the author's train of thought becomes chaotic towards the end, and that the protagonist is constantly being pushed around by various events (it feels like the author just writes whatever comes to mind), giving it the feel of a vernacular novel from five or six years ago?

Dear readers, this book is the culmination of 200,000 words of writing before its release. Once published, it will be packed with chapters, so please feel free to invest! Furthermore, readership data is crucial for a new book. Every piece of data in the backend is a source of motivation for the author, and it's a recipe for a surge in updates after publication. I hope you will continue to read it!

The recent chapters are really getting exciting! Wouldn't it have been a hit much earlier if it had been written like this? It's clear the author's writing skills are quite strong; in just a short plot, the characters of Ying Wuque and his mother are well-established, and all the necessary exciting moments are included.

I got a little numb after reading over two hundred chapters. This novel is practically a grand stage showcasing births, hidden dragons, and phoenix chicks.

Can't the author reflect on this? What you consider "enjoyable moments" might be the enjoyable moments in historical fiction, but you're writing about a transcendental world! Seven hundred thousand words and you're still stuck in the first realm—who wouldn't feel frustrated?

Put the category in the history section; it's a waste of my time to read "Where are the immortals and heroes?"
