One request: don't glorify the Song Dynasty; it was inherently weak. Don't just look at the win rate; if you only consider the win rate, the author probably read it from online marketing accounts.
I admire the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty had good emperors, but the Jingkang Incident still makes me angry.
The author says
Two people have already said this book is a system novel, and I'm puzzled. Do they not understand it, or did they not even read it before criticizing it? Where did they get the idea that this book is a system novel? What's wrong with me? I don't remember writing a single word about systems. Please stop talking nonsense. This book is not a system novel, nor is it a cultivation or martial arts novel. Please read carefully before commenting.
Why are all sorts of monsters and demons writing books? It's infuriating! Will there be spiritual power later on? Will they eventually unify the Three Realms and invade another world?
The protagonist, not even ten years old, is already involved in national affairs. Leaving aside the conspiracy theories of being manipulated by someone with ulterior motives, will the seasoned schemers in the court really listen to him, or will they believe it's someone using the prince's youthful words to interfere in politics? The saying goes, "A young child is unreliable." Even if you're a prodigy, you should at least be a teenager before jumping around like this. It's truly ruthless.
What's the rush? Emperor Renzong lived to be fifty-three, and the protagonist is only a year old. I don't understand why you're in such a hurry.
The emperor the author portrays is nothing like an emperor. Emperor Renzong of Song wasn't benevolent but cowardly. Song Dynasty civil officials lacked even the most basic courteous manners. Despite being so kind to the civil officials, Emperor Renzong was still forced to choose a "virtuous prince" favored by them—a truly despicable character.
The story is too bland; it needs something different. It's already over 100,000 words long. The reign of Emperor Renzong of Song was the period with the most talented people and the most prosperous economy in the Song Dynasty. We need to make some big moves and not focus on farming.
The writing style needs improvement. The protagonist is a prince who aspires to be emperor, but his "golden finger" (advantages) are in both the civil and military fields. Although the "golden finger" isn't mentioned later, the beginning still affects the reading experience. The pacing is too fast, and the protagonist has a childlike mentality.
I hope the author will let the protagonist grow up quickly!
