Solving Cases in the Great Ming: My Boss Is Zhu Yuanzhang

After reading the synopsis, I felt empathy for the author's approach to abolishing privileges. History defines Zhu Yuanzhang's killings as the massacre of meritorious officials and his bloodthirstiness in his later years. However, please note that those killed were all privileged individuals.

It's really well written. The plot and suspenseful moments are quite interesting, and the interweaving of major and minor cases keeps the pace smooth. That solar energy analyzer is a bit of a distraction; I haven't seen how necessary it is.

I thought it was quite good when it was free, but it got increasingly absurd after it was released. It used a lot of modern terminology, but the ancient people accepted it very easily, which was quite ridiculous. Secondly, I always felt that the Zhu Yuanzhang depicted by the author was an idiot. He killed his benefactor in front of the protagonist.

I believe in the idea of ​​exploiting the extinct members of one's clan, but to poison one's entire clan for that purpose? That's laughable. Author, do you even know anything about ancient clans fighting over resources? Even in modern times, this still happens. If your entire clan is wiped out, even if you own vast tracts of fertile land, do you think other clans would come after you?

The writing is terrible, and there are so many flaws I don't even know where to begin... I was completely poisoned after reading three chapters.

Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, the princes, committed heinous crimes. When will the protagonist bring them to justice and execute them? Let's see what Zhu Yuanzhang does.

To be honest, the author might as well just write a fictional historical mystery; that way, they wouldn't be criticized for not conforming to history. Let me mention a few flaws so far. First, the title "Daren" (大人) was generally not used in the Ming Dynasty, but became common in the late Qing Dynasty.

😰In ancient times, you thought you could take the imperial examinations while doing a job similar to a coroner? Dream on! What official would accept you? Did anyone in ancient times ever become an official in a position similar to a coroner?

I understand you wanted to write the kind of strong, queen-like female lead that's been popular in recent years, but this female knight-errant is really disgusting. Other strong female leads, besides being domineering and jealous, all have their own personal charm. What does your female knight-errant have besides being stupid? If you wanted to write something like the martial arts wife of the lawyer Song Shijie, you didn't capture that feeling either.

Those who claim that wages were low in the Ming Dynasty, have they actually investigated? For example, there were regulations on the number of auxiliary personnel that could be hired, with the government paying for it. If you exceeded that, the government was no longer responsible. There were also regulations regarding buying official positions, which the government didn't address.
