I’m Really Not Doing My Job as Emperor

The author missed the point. A modern person transmigrates to ancient times, and becomes an emperor. His first priority should be acquiring information and learning; he shouldn't know everything. He needs to understand the court's operational mechanisms (politics), taxation, personnel, the military, and a whole host of matters related to the imperial examinations.

While early Ming dynasty imperial writings often excelled at depicting political intrigue and power struggles, their readability declined when it came to reforms. This was due to several factors: first, a lack of clear focus (reforms lacked a defined strategy, written haphazardly); second, an overemphasis on rapid results (suddenly achieving national wealth and military strength without…

It feels like I've only just begun after writing 1.7 Million words; there's no real climax yet. I'm too much of a literary youth and might want to write about the Ming Dynasty in a different way, but to be honest, with Zhang Juzheng in literature and Qi Jiguang in military affairs, putting Liu Shan in the story would definitely make him a great emperor who would restore the dynasty, not to…

A modern person transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty and becoming emperor, rising up to restore the Ming, is acceptable; writing around this theme is fine. However, so many plot points promote class theory, advocate for a people-centered approach, and even plan to open the palace to the public and charge admission. What's wrong with the throne?

I found it increasingly captivating as I read, but some fellow readers grew increasingly irritated, which was truly a headache. I personally adore Ming Dynasty historical novels, though there aren't many I can actually read. I hope you all will be kind and give the author a break. If the author can't handle it and leaves the genre, it would be a huge loss; everyone's eagerly awaiting the author's next story set in the Tianqi era.

**First of all, let me state:** I do not write books, but I pay to read them not to read the author's ramblings. The scene at the end of Chapter 1067 and the beginning of Chapter 1068, depicting Qi Jiguang standing before the dragon robe with a dazed look in his eyes, reason overcoming greed, is as foolish as the author next door making Psyduck jealous of Yue Fei.

I've read about the first ten or so chapters, and then I had some questions. I'll explain from four perspectives: Feng Bao, Zhang Juzheng, the protagonist, and the Shanxi merchants. Since Feng Bao was capable of framing Wanli, would he obediently listen to the protagonist? If given enough time, yes, but it would be tantamount to Feng Bao bowing down in submission.

The little emperor is so adorable, I don't want him to grow up! I'm touched every day by the deep bond between the little emperor and his minister. I hope his minister can stay with the little emperor for much longer, witnessing the prosperous era they create together.

Less backstory, less repetitive dialogue—it's all so padded out. Can't you write more plot? On average, is half of a chapter dedicated to plot? As readers, we earn money with difficulty, and we're willing to pay to support the legitimate version of your novel, and this is how you write such a padded version?

The author suffers from pretentious sentimentality; is this even a novel? There are no enjoyable moments at all, just endless repetition of the same old ramblings. A single topic can be stretched into tens of thousands of words, and skipping around makes no difference.
