Daily Sign-Ins as a Poor Farmer's Son in the Ming Dynasty

In any ancient era, the peasantry at the bottom of society were enslaved. Without official rank and title, how can you escape all kinds of forced labor? Without legal status, if you are rich or have any connections, thugs and hooligans can rob you, and any constable can frame you and throw you in jail.

The system is unhelpful, and the protagonist doesn't have any clan power or particularly outstanding abilities, so he should honestly be a small-time tycoon, but not a big one. In ancient times, having a lot of money without power or connections is the original sin. Any minor official can take advantage of you, and if you have too much money, you'll be slaughtered by the emperor.

I suggest you write a historical novel; it doesn't have that ancient feel to it.

I won't say anything about the neighbor girl wearing a skirt when she went hunting in the earlier part of the historical novel, but she was even dawdling when climbing a tree. That's one thing, but later, after being kidnapped by bandits, she didn't retaliate, and knowing about the smallpox outbreak, she even helped them get vaccinated—is that repaying evil with kindness?

It all feels petty and stingy; go to the female-oriented channel instead.

Did the author know about the ancient system of corvée labor?

Your novel is just as far-fetched as the one next door about developing technology in Southeast Asia and becoming the world's richest man. If you fall behind, you will be attacked. The reason you haven't been attacked is because the United States doesn't want to attack you today. You're just a nobody in ancient times, with no connections, yet you expect to live a comfortable life? What makes you think you can? A local thug colluding with a constable could wipe out your entire family.

The protagonist has nothing to save his life, which feels a bit dangerous. Could there be a one in ten thousand chance of drawing an enchanted item?

The Ming Dynasty you described isn't modern; it's all modern colloquialisms and contemporary vocabulary.

I have no idea how a modern person like this could survive in an ancient village! Commoners back then had an obligation to perform corvée labor, although it was possible to pay to avoid it, but this was a gray area. Even a lowly attendant could work for half a year digging river mud 500 li away without charging you.
