In ancient times, if you were just an ordinary commoner, you would be working hard for the landlords and gentry. How could you possibly work hard for yourself?
In ancient times, did people think they could live a good life by working hard? Landlords and gentry wouldn't allow it; they would simply seize your wealth and property.
Without official connections, a kiln worker could be deadly, and would also incur many exorbitant taxes.
Without martial arts skills, cheat codes, or brains, how did the protagonist survive in ancient times? All he experienced was utter frustration.
From the 28th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign to the 51st year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign (1786), Dongguan, Guangdong Province, experienced a significant influx of immigrants, resulting in a substantial increase in population. In the 51st year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, the male and female population reached 446,802. The entire county has a population of tens of thousands.
So the protagonist doesn't have any cheat codes? Ha! It's like a river; I might not use it, but I can't live without it. Giving the protagonist a cheat code allows them to make a living, and how they choose to live is their freedom. Otherwise, in ancient times, for an ordinary commoner, even a woman in your family being slightly attractive would be a catastrophe.
Although this book is a bit hard to read now, some people say it's about rebellion, some say it's dark, and some even criticize the saintly figure. Ha, a bunch of clueless idiots who think they're so "wise"? What a load of rubbish!
In ancient times, without an official position or powerful backing, one could forget about getting rich, and even if one did, it was impossible to keep it.
For readers of online novels
After reading the comments section, many readers seem to think they understand life very well. However, the reason most of us readers are engrossed in online novels is that we are mostly failures in real life. So, we readers treat life as mere survival, turning stress into negative emotions, which we then vent in the virtual world.
It uses the guise of ancient times, but it's actually a work from the 1970s.
