The Busier You Are, the More You Should Read for Fun
A personal record of the books I've browsed, also known as "Where Did All the Time Go?" I read for wish fulfillment and emotional release, and sometimes for the pleasure of learning something new. I skim and don't always understand everything, but I try to avoid trash when I can... I hope others enjoy the stories I like, and I'll also call out junk food when it tastes bad.

Bole Reviews Books 🐴: Historical Masterpieces 🍃
A great judge of talent makes a masterpiece. Good books are common, but great judges are not. So even a divine novel, if it falls into the hands of readers who bury books, will be trampled alongside the flops and never be called a masterpiece. A book destined for greatness may have a chapter that disappoints. Readers don’t know it has the potential to become a masterpiece when they start reading. Even if it has what it takes, if no one notices it, its momentum is weak and its talent goes unseen

If you transmigrate and become a powerful minister, are you just waiting to be beheaded and have your family property confiscated if you don't rebel? Throughout history, how many powerful ministers have had good endings? Huo Guang and Zhang Juzheng, after their deaths, weren't their families wiped out and their entire clans exterminated?
If you transmigrate and become a powerful minister, and don't rebel but become emperor, the protagonist will most likely have their family and clan wiped out after their death, since their descendants aren't as blessed with extraordinary abilities as the protagonist.
Powerful ministers are destined to die. Even if they escape, their descendants will be purged. If your descendants aren't afraid, what about those who were with you? Sometimes you're forced to assume the imperial robes; if you refuse, you'll be assassinated. They'll send your son. Only those who are extraordinary can resist the overwhelming power of the world.
I read it all night, over a hundred chapters. To be honest, the beginning had some issues, but not major ones; it mainly depends on the reader's understanding. The more knowledgeable the reader, the more jarring the reading experience becomes. Those unfamiliar with ancient etiquette can read it without thinking; the overall quality is high, and the quality is above average.
This book is a no-go! The emperor is only 6 years old, and the protagonist is only 20. They're already thinking about what happens after death? The emperor has just ascended the throne and needs stability. You're already stirring up factional strife; how can a young emperor balance the court? Ultimately, it's up to you. Is there any difference between you being the sole ruler and having an enemy?
Seeing the name, I knew it was hopeless. Since ancient times, imperial power and powerful ministers have been at odds. If a powerful minister didn't become emperor, he would eventually die and his entire family would be wiped out. Only by usurping the throne could he rise to the top. Otherwise, Huo Guang and Zhang Juzheng are examples. If you didn't die, you were fine, but if you did, everyone related to you would die. That's what powerful ministers are like.
Everyone says that powerful ministers should rebel. Then why is there still a temple dedicated to me, Zhuge Liang, a thousand years ago?
The rebellion plot is ridiculous. 1000 Mountain bandits, plus a labor camp full of defenseless laborers. Led by a provincial governor, his backers are nobles and favored concubines in the imperial harem. His plan is to kidnap a group of non-core gentry and a concubine to blackmail the court, then profit from the chaos he created earlier? He didn't even want to be emperor himself.
The only point that I found uncomfortable to watch
He slept with Consort De; a purebred 😅
Turning the tide when all hope is lost, saving the collapsing edifice. A brilliant historical novel of political intrigue with sharp intellect, reminiscent of Desert's works. I've previously read Desert's *The Powerful Minister*, *The Embroidered Robe*, *The Beauty and the Tyrant*, and *The Brilliance of the Sun and Moon*, and this *The First Powerful Minister* is equally captivating.
