Everyone defines that differently, because we’re all individuals. This list holds so many of my

A Cure for Reading Slumps, From a Picky Old Bookworm
I've been reading for ten years, and I'm extremely picky. Don't bother recommending mindless wish-fulfillment where the protagonist just levels up and moves to a new map. Don't recommend books where everyone's intelligence disappears, the protagonist swears nonstop, or the protagonist fawns over a beautiful stranger after knowing her for less than three chapters. And definitely don't recommend books with writing on an elementary school level. Honestly, some books have genuinely great ideas, but

Current review status of this book:
The disgusting eunuch has not returned for a month. Despicable and shameless crane➗Intermittent updates may become a breeding ground for filial piety. The extremely lazy dog emperor sends out licking dogs every other Monday. Internet writer He Zhao updates once a week. The diligent Crane Bureau announces three updates a week, and readers can't wait. The Twelve Heavenly Kings returned to his routine of producing high-quality essays. The eternal emperor who updates twice a day returns to his loyal starting point today.
The story is mediocre, but the writing is not that good. If the writing is good, it is easy to suffer from literary youth syndrome. It is difficult to find a story with good writing and story, but it is also easy to be a eunuch.
If you want to save Chongzhen from the crisis in the late Ming Dynasty, you need to go back to a militaristic society like the Zhou Dynasty. In other words, you can no longer allow the people to continue to be civilized. To restore the ability to protect the rural class like Li Zicheng, you can no longer continue to use a completely mercenary army, because if the army moves towards a completely mercenary system, you will not be able to raise a large number of troops. The loyalty and honor of the mercenary army to the court are not high enough. Moreover, once such troops are lost, it will be difficult to replace them, and many people talk about the issue of the Ming army being fully paid but not satisfied with the pay. This is just a group of people talking nonsense. Full pay itself is a false proposition. When you move to a full employment system, military pay will only rise and not fall. It is impossible to fully pay. Anyone who has read history will know that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, only the Ming army was on the employment system, and other forces did not pay wages at that time. The most perfect army in ancient China was one that was bound by land, given preferential treatment by society and the law, and used the spirit of patriotism (whether it was brainwashing, shaping beliefs, whatever you want to say) soldiers. There is another very serious problem in the late Ming Dynasty, which is what I just mentioned. If you don't tell the truth, then a lot of military personnel, such as Li Zicheng, are very likely to rebel. Whether it is a good secret or a bad secret, you should suppress this risk. In addition, there are a lot of problems, such as soil and water erosion at the border, which means that the army cannot find wood to repair fortifications. These are things that the protagonist, Emperor Wanli, can deal with in advance or try to postpone the risk as much as possible.
This author is really good at cheating on monthly tickets. I can't look at the list anymore, so I quickly update one to stabilize the ranking. If it is good, I will stop updating. The rule is monthly ticket ranking. The better it is, the less it will be updated. At the beginning of this month, the monthly tickets started again, and updates came out again.
Promise me, don't vote before the update, okay? I'll vote after 5 chapters have been updated in a month 🙂
Will the author disappear in the new year?
I have stopped updating for eighteen days. If I am not in good health, I have to update at intervals. Book friends can understand this, but this is not the way to rest. The management should give an accurate answer, either pin it to the top of the book circle and post it, or the author can directly explain the reason in a single chapter. If you want to cut the book, you should tell me early. There are a bunch of old book friends waiting for an explanation. At least let's say it's a mess and stop dragging old book friends and other new book friends into the trap.
Where is the congratulatory note?
After reading it for half a year, I found it hard to read 38 unread chapters. I felt like I would forget the ending of this book as I read it. 🥲This reform has just started, so I can't keep writing. Damn it, it's not because my talent is all about tactics. I only know how to fight for power and gain, but I don't know how to govern at all. I understand, this is Jiajing traveling through time and becoming Wanli. Where is the congratulatory note in the comment area? Please help!
Not updated yet?
There are already twelve heavenly kings, why not update?
Unravel a ball of thread from the inside
I read 200 chapters in one go. It's really rare to find such an excellent text. The top-down reform of the feudal dynasty was like unraveling an irregular skein. It was intricate, disorganized and full of difficulties, not to mention that the emperor was at the center of this skein. This was also a profile of the numerous self-rescue reforms of the feudal dynasty in history that ended in failure. The resistance to reform was greater than the heaven. I hope the author can maintain this quality of writing. It doesn't matter if the update is slow. It's rare for a book with a logical, reasonable narrative and excellent writing to unravel the thread from the inside. I really look forward to the subsequent scene of unraveling the thread.
Will anyone really continue to watch it?
A few chapters can be updated in a month, and it seems like you can cut it off anytime and anywhere. Will anyone really continue to subscribe? By the way, when and why did you start only updating a few chapters a month?
Hurry up and put it on the shelves. This year it ranks first in history writing. If you have brains and strategies, please put it on the shelves quickly to get more updates.
If you write like this, it would take four to five million words to reach adulthood.
It's fun to watch like there are big cases every month. After dozens of chapters, the plot only progresses for a month or two.
I hope Mr. Hege can fulfill his promise and work diligently next month.

Unexpected things happen in the evening, and they will be entrusted after death To pass the exam and falsely accuse me. I want to threaten the six departments The intention is very deep. I am the only one who cuts the sword to my servant No slander. Du said that he is good at this and wants to move. The young master The place of ministers is to administer on behalf of the king. If it is not power, it will be a blessing If Yi Tuzhe and Xun obey and please, then the country will be betrayed Although the emperor is wise, he will never do it. Submission The disciple actually impeached the leader The minister was originally Jingchu Yijie, who upheld the Confucianism Improperly appointed as the chief assistant Revised the laws of the ancestors and opened up the path of public righteousness Protected the people and respected the Lord Protected by ghosts and gods when burdened with heavy burdens Loyalty can reflect the emperor's soil Since he regards the minister as his confidant Only the country is the picture Why cherish the hair and skin Seeing that the discipline has not been strict in recent years Building white strips and Chen Ze's numerous documents Building it with ambiguity and humiliation, but calling it a good place The affairs of the world are planned by the crowd, and the judgment lies in independence Using words to mess up the government, Zhilan is on the road, and has to hoe Sincerity does not know self-love, so it is as a person House of Resentment Hand tea and poisonous Beard and hair are white and endure humiliation The ancestral method becomes an unbreakable shackle The whole world is not what I am.

I will look back when I am gone You must think about me.
Very good, just like Shao Song, very good.
Asking for articles
It's so painful to read without any articles. I would like to ask all book friends if they have any recommendations for spin-off novels related to the S2 season. The author's position does not need to be in the Guodang camp or the 🇯🇵 camp. Others are acceptable By the way, I saw that the author mentioned FDR in a subtle way in the chapter about Wanli Sacrifice to Heaven. Derivative novels related to FDR are also fine.
👍👍👍Good book
Comfortable
The author writes well and purely. Since I saw that the author felt tired due to many "voices", so that his character could not be stable and his mentality could not be comfortable, I deeply sympathize and understand this. My attitude towards this book can be classified into the same category as my ordinary reading. The author needs to plan time to write the book, and the reader also needs to plan time to read the book. This heart is so bright, what else can I say? I still hope that the author will not only write about dogmatic views, but the key is to be able to use them to treat current social affairs by combining the unity of knowledge and action of Yangming Xinxue with the materialist dialectics.

Ways to help you sleep
I would like to give the author a comment, because I have had trouble sleeping in the past, especially when I was depressed and anxious, and my sleep was even worse. Counting 12 hours a night, I can't sleep for 4 hours. Later I went to work, and I was very busy and tired. The kind of physical work in the summer was in a shipyard. We work at least 12 hours a day and are extremely busy. We need to go more than 30 meters deep into the hull, and the space below is not that spacious. We can only crawl forward. We get off work at around 7 o'clock in the evening. After eating, we come back and take a shower. All we want to do is sleep. I am so sleepy that I can fall asleep. So I think I can do some physical exercises, such as a lot of exercise. Well, especially when it comes to work, because if you are very tired and exhausted, you will definitely fall asleep.
Crane soaring into the sky·Second brush with feelings
The path of vicissitudes of life is nothing but the blood of rivers. They are all old articles, overwhelming the mountain. Thinking about the mountains and rivers thousands of miles away, the wind and clouds have passed and they have flown over. Stealing Zhizhuang and joking. After thousands of years of ups and downs, I want to read it with Seqiu. In the past, it was difficult to count the flying snow. Now where I am writing, there is wind and moon. Afraid of the day of reunion, the people are also angry and the officials are still plundering. Not to mention empty joy. The fireworks in the world stop at the mountains of that year.
It's painful. I just found out that the author hasn't updated for a long time. Is there more updates? 😭
After raising it for half a year, I can finally kill it (laughs)
Celebrating your return, all monthly votes go to you, come on! Take care of yourself!
Celebrate
He Jun should work hard
This book is really good. It was also high on the monthly popular list. I really don't understand why the author wants to be a eunuch!
Drop
Refund money
I paid out all the money for the reservation and the monthly pass, but it won't be updated in 10 days? You don't even ask for leave, right? Is this what you mean by random updates? He didn't even give any notice, he really didn't think he was who he was. Putting my money where my mouth is, I don't want to put my money on the merits of this book.
Very important
1. Correction of historical data. I hope everyone will post the historical data (very important) The author will also make mistakes and will correct them if they are wrong. Correction of historical data is very welcome. But taking it for granted is a waste of time. The author doesn't proofread and doesn't know whose question it is, and passers-by are even more confused. This forces me to find historical materials to respond. If everyone is like this, my workload will be too much. For example, the following: This is part of it. If there are too many, I won't post it. In short, every time, the operation will send me a message and ask me if I want to correct errors, and then I will spend a lot of time proofreading. Nowadays, there are more readers. If everyone talks in vain, the author's workload will be too much. So, please understand, thank you.
I asked for leave because I couldn't write anymore and it was late and I couldn't stay up late because of my poor health. Hezhao had requirements for the content I wrote, so I didn't want to write casually and be confused, so I posted it. I don't take long vacations such as a week because I am afraid of laziness and don't want to write. Plus the author has his own job and is too busy to take care of it.
