There are quite a few questions. Would Zhu Yuanzhang have allowed a child to be enfeoffed at the age of 12? They even devised a method to predict when the natives would attack a city by observing the stars at night. And to grow so tall overnight, are you really not afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would worry that the protagonist would be replaced by a cat and beheaded? Even if not, then he's still a monster.
And is it really okay for you, the protagonist, to be so overbearing? It's all about conflict and sweetness. Your general isn't even your man. He's responsible for everything, from food to lodging. Are you trying to reassure Zhu Yuanzhang, or do you not want to develop your own power? I'm speechless. A mere prince. No palace maids or eunuchs. Just yourself. Such a large palace.
The author has taken too big a step.
The struggle for the throne is inherently about supreme power and the well-being of one's descendants. Yet, there's a promise that the future crown prince will be elected from within the imperial clan. If a son of a prince from another branch is chosen as the ruler, will he acknowledge you after ascending the throne? Will there be incidents like the Grand Rites Controversy?
Historical fantasy novels usually rely on information asymmetry and strategic thinking, or on a system. This guy, however, only touches on one aspect of either. He doesn't fit the "power fantasy" genre at all.
A son who's too powerful is a problem, a grandson who's too incompetent is a dilemma. Zhu Yuanzhang is now caught in a predicament. The only solution for a smooth transition of power is to adjust the succession system. Historically, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have these problems; it's just that his fourth son hasn't shown enough charisma. His strategy of biding his time was a mistake.
Here are some personal opinions and suggestions.
Author, please don't worry about the issue of whether he's born out of wedlock or not. If a beggar can become Hongwu (the Hongwu Emperor), why can't a son born out of wedlock seize the throne? There's no need to conquer the land and then return; just dominate the world and ascend to the throne directly.
I'm not sure if it's feasible for historical texts to incorporate science and technology. I also want my ancestors to be proud of us, which is why I like this kind of writing. However, there's too much controversy surrounding it. I'd like to read a book that's both reasonable and fundamentally logical.
To be honest, I personally really dislike those nonchalant protagonists. They get boring after a while, and you'll definitely get visually fatigued after just a few dozen chapters.
Even more absurd is the idea that someone in the Ming Dynasty, a prince, falls in love and practices monogamy? That's too much! Have I been brainwashed by time-travel romance dramas set in the Ming Dynasty?
The protagonist enjoys the pleasures of the throne while constantly spouting the idea of equality for all—all of which are statements made by the author himself. First, he says the protagonist will become a local tyrant in a fiefdom; then he says the protagonist transmigrates from modern times and advocates equality for all. He's really only scratching the surface and contradicting himself.
