This book is a rare and excellent historical work with a documentary-like narrative and grand storytelling ability. Although it portrays a few individuals as somewhat foolish, its merits outweigh its flaws, making it a truly good book. It's a real shame that it wasn't promoted on Qidian to allow more readers to see it. I've given all my monthly votes to this book; I hope the author writes it soon.

Thank you for the author's tribute to this great man! My grandfather was a township party secretary during Mao Zedong's era. During his tenure, he was incorruptible and honest. Every flood season, he would wear a straw raincoat and sandals to inspect various villages, sometimes staying away from home for over ten days. Back then, he ate at the commune canteen, always paying for his own meals.

I have some feelings and emotions today, and I just have to get them off my chest. I was browsing Tieba (a Chinese online forum) when a book recommendation post popped up on the homepage. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was actually recommending my book! Take a look! After watching it, I felt a mix of emotions, but mostly I was deeply moved.

This novel about the late Ming Dynasty is really well-written, especially commendable for its steady and solid plot development without unnecessary plot devices. The romance is also quite interesting, and the pacing is excellent. The only downside is the slow update speed. Author, please keep writing! I'm rooting for you!

I have a preference for historical fiction, especially novels about the Southern Ming Dynasty's resistance against the Qing Dynasty. Having read many such novels over the years, I feel this one, which I consider a masterpiece despite being unfinished, is among the top five historical fiction novels about the Southern Ming Dynasty's resistance against the Qing Dynasty.

I think it's much better than the top ten books on the monthly ticket chart and bestseller list. It's a pity that Qidian doesn't provide the resources; it's a waste of such a good book by the author. By the way, I'd like to recommend a book.

Well written! The protagonist has no cheat codes or system, and he armes himself with the ideas of his teachers. The setting is very interesting; I haven't read any late Ming Dynasty novels that take a populist approach like this before.

It's a rare and wonderful herb, but unfortunately, Qidian (the platform) doesn't give it any traffic.

I've read almost fifty chapters of this book, and it's truly an amazing work! Whether it's the character development of the main characters and their group, or the insightful observations of historical trends, it's in a class of its own among historical novels, and it completely surpasses a whole host of simplistic, amateurish works.

The comments section is a bit outrageous. The book is indeed good, but it doesn't surpass 99% of historical novels. Also, dialect isn't inherently bad; using a few common words to increase recognizability is fine. As someone from the border region of Hubei and Chongqing, I could barely understand it, it was just a headache. Don't do something that's too much work for no reward.
