After reading a few chapters, here are my thoughts.
The author's writing is undeniably excellent, but the emphasis on preserving historical accuracy is excessive, resulting in weak character development. Furthermore, while the text describes various rules and regulations expected during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, a crucial aspect of online novels is broad appeal.
A historical novel set in the pre-Zhou period that requires some historical background, but is a wonderful read once you start reading!
The book's strength lies in its high level of technical expertise, but this is also its weakness. Readers looking for a purely introductory historical text will find it difficult to read. The use of male appellations, ancient Zhou geography, and shamanistic culture in this book could deter many novice readers. Because if you're unfamiliar with these concepts, reading it will be very difficult.
Traveling back to the transition from the Shang to the Zhou Dynasty, and forward to the ancient, primitive era, you'll find a vast and promising world. You needn't worry about altering history, for you are the origin of a new era, and ultimately, everything will be covered by mythology.
Does the protagonist, Gongzi Feng, actually exist?
Ji Feng should have existed; Ji Li had at least four legitimate sons. Why is this so? Because the Zhou people ranked their eldest sons according to the order of "Bo, Zhong, Shu, Ji". Among them, "Bo" was the eldest son, "Zhong" was the second son, "Ji" was the youngest son, and the other sons were ranked as "Shu".
King Wen of Zhou was important, but not that important. The important figure is Zhou Gongdan, because it was from Zhou Gongdan that the Chinese nation truly came into being.
Regarding the Zhou dynasty's dress code, the system of appointing officials and supervising its production.
The dress code was also very chaotic, and there is not much historical information about its creation and supervision. The system of appointing ministers: The Book of Rites records that "in a large state, the three ministers are all appointed by the Son of Heaven, ...
Extra Collection Post
The names of people in the pre-Qin period are too numerous to describe in a few words, especially when there were no clan names. There are so many brothers, so many uncles, so many young men, it's really hard to tell them apart. But some people keep appearing, so we can't leave them without giving them a name. We've selected a few readers' IDs and come up with a few minor nicknames:
Wow, the author is going too far! If you're going to cut off the book, you should at least let everyone know. Even if you're just following along, you could at least post a message in the book club.
Zong Zhou is fine, why change the title to something like a fast-food novel? If the author had raised the bar, the book would still be good; at least the writing is elegant. There's no need to use a title like "Nong" to attract readers.
