Return to Tang: The Struggle for All Under Heaven

The writing style is strange. This kind of writing, which is similar to the martial arts world of Jin Yong's novels and the style of Western movies that emphasizes individual heroes and tough guys, shouldn't be used to write history. This kind of writing, which goes through a lot of trouble to tell the story, and then suddenly introduces strange characters like Thirteen Sister, Taoist priests…

The writing is good, and the subject matter is also good, but the perspective on the plot is too narrow and the narrative is too drawn out; it just has an odd feel to it.

Are you planning to establish a foothold in Central Asia? The religions, languages, and customs are all complex, not to mention the difficulties in transportation and communication due to the barren land. This won't be easy!

To be honest, most people don't know about this period of history, or have only heard about it! So, author, if you want to achieve results, you should hurry up and finish writing the events leading up to the rebellion; don't dawdle.

To be fair, if they had been confined to the Guasha region and hadn't brought in Han Chinese from Guanzhong and other areas, it would have been difficult for them to have done as well as the Guiyi Army. After all, even with the Han Chinese from Guasha and Khotan, they still only made up about one-sixth or one-seventh of the Uyghurs, Dangxiangs, and other nomadic tribes in the Western Regions.

While Westerns may not have the same broad appeal as historical fiction, the author's Western stories are still among the best, which is better than this half-dead genre. 😭😭😭 (I truly love reading the author's Western stories.)

Pugu Qingmou, please delete if infringing.

The name has been changed; I feel Dunhuang sounds better.

It's so-so, but you can check it out if you're looking for something to read. The beginning was initially thrilling, but after the main storyline was introduced, well, it started strong but quickly declined. The more impressive the opening, the more humble the protagonist's initial situation became. It was really frustrating, and I'm sure many others felt the same way.

I don't know if I'm reading a martial arts novel or a historical novel; the disconnect is too strong.
