Is the Son of Heaven Born to Rule?

Zhao Kuangyin truly rose to power through his own abilities. Chai Rong died young, and his children were few and young; in the Five Dynasties period, no one would obey a young son as emperor. The one with real moral problems was Zhao Guangyi; he lacked ability, and the "axe and candle shadow" incident seemed like a usurpation.

It's alright, but the parts about the sister-in-law and brother are written too deliberately, which lowers your authorial sophistication.

It's well-written and doesn't criticize Zhao Da, but the handling of the emotional aspects isn't quite right. I hope for more frequent updates; if the updates are fast enough, these minor flaws can be overlooked.

If I could transmigrate and have a system, I would sow seeds across the world, one person, one bird, creating a nation (ง•̀_•́)ง

The female lead marries the protagonist's brother because she likes him? What great logic!

Seeing his subordinate bleeding profusely from an abdominal wound, with little chance of survival, didn't he, as a modern person, have any thoughts? This must be a fake time travel story! He shows absolutely no common sense whatsoever.

Of the dozens of warlords who rebelled, only five survived, and none of those five met a good end. Only Zhao Kuangyin stopped this unhealthy trend. I imagine that Zhao, though seemingly smiling, was actually terrified because the previous warlords had almost all died out or at best fallen into poverty. If he hadn't donned the imperial robe, his wealth and status could have continued for several generations; but after donning it, he might have even lost all his sons.

The author should just abandon this project altogether; one update a week is too painful to read. 😡😡😡

It felt increasingly padded towards the end. After the war, there was no discussion of governance methods, official appointments, or grassroots governance; it just revolved around the same phrase about gaining the people's trust. Then, there was no mention of the coup, no negotiation or compromise with other political forces; all we saw was the protagonist's inner turmoil, constantly worrying about how future generations would judge him. A dozen or so chapters felt like a waste of time.
