Reborn in the Late Kangxi Era

Is this book rebellious? 🤔

Actually, author, writing about monogamy is perfectly fine, completely acceptable. Experienced readers who've read a lot of harem novels don't find it very interesting. The real problem is, if you're going to write about monogamy, why add so many female supporting characters? They keep popping up, and you don't even accept them.

I read this book a few years ago, and recently I reread it. I still couldn't understand the protagonist's calmness and forbearance; he didn't seem manly at all, too effeminate! Later I found out it was written by a female author, which makes it less surprising, as it's difficult for a woman's perspective to create a fully fleshed-out male character!

There's not much to enjoy; the protagonist is just a tool, at best a paperhanger like Li Hongzhang.

Is it really necessary to get this much flak for writing a Qing Dynasty time-travel novel without a rebellion? Why don't you all go to the forums of "Empresses in the Palace" or "Palace 3" to criticize it? If someone from thousands of years in the future traveled to the present, would they also start a revolution? The Qing Dynasty represented orthodoxy in that era.

It's exhausting to read. Even after time-traveling, he couldn't change much about his family. What's the point of time-traveling? He even killed off his own brother… If he's going to time-travel, couldn't he at least make things more perfect? ​​It's both tiring and infuriating to read. What an idiot.

Even in Jin Yong's novels, all rebellions during the Qing Dynasty are portrayed positively. What gives the author the audacity to fawn over the Qing Dynasty? If you travel back in time and don't rebel, you're just asking for trouble.

The novel "Reborn in the Late Kangxi Era" has sparked much debate in the Qidian book review section, with the biggest argument being: since the protagonist has transmigrated to the Qing Dynasty, why not rebel against it? Having read it two and a half times, let me share my thoughts on why it doesn't explicitly criticize the Qing dynasty.

I feel so sorry for the author, hahaha! I don't care if they're Manchu or not. But there are some things... How should I put it? The Qing Dynasty itself had its original sin. During the Kangxi and Qianlong eras, I believe the people's living standards were definitely better than at the end of the Ming Dynasty. That's absolute.

If one travels back to ancient times and doesn't rebel, life in the Song Dynasty might be relatively easy. Even commoners could take the imperial examinations, and the scholar-officials enjoyed high status. In the Ming Dynasty, the scholar-officials were of lower status, and in the Qing Dynasty, they were truly slaves, subjected to both ethnic and class oppression.
