The Zhenguan Magistrate of Xinfeng

Now I know why there aren't many comments and nobody reads it. The writing is decent, and the author seems knowledgeable about history, but you're writing a novel, not an archaeological study or a lesson plan; it's all popular science from beginning to end. Are you trying to create a popular science book about the Tang Dynasty? Either stop showing off your knowledge, or write something that everyone can understand without needing a science explanation. It's a bit of a history buff syndrome!

Dude, how did you write this? Being banished to the border is a hot topic, especially right before your book's release. You wrote about his father fighting for him, about those with connections, about Pan leaving home to follow him, about the people seeing him off for miles. There were clearly ten chapters that could have been well-developed.

First, let me state that I personally don't dislike popular science, hardcore content, or stories that prioritize realism over excitement; in fact, I sometimes quite enjoy popular science articles. These aren't drawbacks for me… However, the author's writing is just too disjointed, making the narrative pacing a headache.

To be honest, after finishing the previous book, Xiaofangzheng, I really like this style of reading this book. It's about ordinary people starting out and striving for success, rather than the usual stories of befriending Cheng Yaojin or making surprising remarks that are appreciated by Li Er.

There are two kinds of novels: one that readers like to read, and one that authors like to write. The author of this book is clearly the latter, which is understandable, after all, you are the author! But if readers don't want to read it because of this, don't complain. If you want more people to read it, then at the very least you need to write in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and avoid being pretentious or overly literary.

I thought Xinfeng had come here to write a history book. 🙂

I'll give you the tickets next month, I said.

Li Chengqian (Gao Xu): "You really think you're a loyal minister? Our whole family rebelled! Do you think you can go down and meet our ancestors? Even if you build the Zhenguan era into the most prosperous age in history, the historians won't record that you were the rightful heir! You keep this position to the end, and whatever you do, don't let me have it." What do you think of this part, author?

Marrying Niu San Niang isn't so he can go and earn military merits with Niu Jinda later, is it?
