I Was the Emperor Chat Group's Biggest Braggart, Now I'm a Mysterious Figure in the Textbooks

Did you know that the emperor's plan to sail to the Western Ocean was rejected? The money earned from the voyages went into the imperial treasury, while the funds needed for the expeditions were provided by the Ministry of Revenue, but the Ministry of Revenue couldn't collect the money. Officials' salaries were distributed in the form of spices like Sichuan peppercorns.

Writing about how the changes in different dynasties affected reality leads to a lot of logical inconsistencies and contradictions. If Zhu Di (Emperor Yongle) had already completed one or two industrial revolutions, where would the current national structure be?

I'm a little curious about how you plan to write modern history, since some of the people who experienced modern history firsthand are still alive (I saw some before 2020, but I'm not sure about now).

Recently, historical fiction has become increasingly absurd. There are stories of people making videos for ancient people, watching videos for ancient people, unknowingly time-traveling to teach the emperor, bragging to the emperor in chat groups, revealing their time-traveling identities, boasting to the emperor after time travel, wanting to be executed by the emperor, and developing a small…

The biggest selling point of this book is that the protagonist is an idiot. Even by chapter sixty, the truth still hasn't been revealed; I couldn't continue reading.

They can't even afford to hire paid online trolls, so using their own alternate accounts to spam is truly outrageous. And they're even spamming some low-quality content.

How do you explain this in relation to reality? How could such a powerful empire have vanished without a trace in just a few hundred years?

I don't understand. It's affecting reality, yet the protagonist is still clueless about the truth. Is this some kind of forced stupidity reduction?

Having finished reading it, I can only say that the author has many of their own ideas. I don't know what foreshadowing the author has in store, but I think the most problematic point is why the influence of ancient times on reality is limited to archaeology... It's a bit outrageous. And if it were written like this, the Song and Jiajing eras would definitely also have an impact, but in the case that these dynasties all influence reality, they don't seem to affect each other. It's too abstract.

I found it hard to watch from the beginning. The protagonist's criticisms were entirely based on his own biases, focusing on only one side and ignoring the other. He kept harping on how things were back then, but the truth is, no one could have known so much at the time. Furthermore, the protagonist's perspective was completely detached from the historical context.
