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

The protagonist is portrayed as too virtuous and beautiful, too hypocritical and unrealistic. Where would a commoner in modern times get such a broad mind? Don't treat the readers like fools.
I never imagined that historical fiction could have a saintly protagonist.
After the protagonist was promoted to captain, his soldiers increased in number, and things started to go wrong when he was constantly charging into battle. Later, when he chose Longnan, he inexplicably didn't know beforehand that there wasn't much arable land there, and just went for the population, naively believing he could survive with a bunch of men even when food was scarce.
A work that could have been masterpieces was ruined by the author's excessive padding; subsequent new books will only get worse. I've seen far too many authors like this.
The author is unaware of human poverty.
Compulsory education was education for the poor. Look at Prussia and Japan when they first implemented compulsory education, and China in the 1960s and 70s. They provided free textbooks, pens, paper, and even meals. Even now, China can't provide free textbooks, pens, paper, and meals.
It's obvious the author doesn't really understand farmers. What kind of nonsense is this? Imagine all that wasteland can be cleared and yield a bountiful harvest in a single year! Does that mean every rural area will become rich? And what about people? They're not like weeds; they can grow back in places ravaged by war!
Open high and close low
The current plot consists of more than half data points in each chapter, as if they're afraid the story will run out of material if it progresses too far. They've been developing artillery for over a decade and still haven't invented it. They had gunpowder, but without it, it took them over a decade to pacify the north.
Analysis post [Feel free to delete if you disagree]
I specifically ordered the last few chapters to take a look. 😂No wonder you're posting 10,000 words a day, almost every chapter is filled with extensive environmental descriptions. If you wrote it yourself, that would be fine, but this definitely has an AI feel to it. 666, Are you slacking off at Qidian? 🐂🍺 Also, I'm curious, with over 300,000 followers, why hasn't it reached the "Featured" status yet?
The protagonist lacks leadership qualities
He values gratitude above all else, showing extreme trust and devotion to former comrades, subordinates, and benefactors. He's easily swayed, forgetting considerations of self-interest, power, and human relationships. Such people exist in reality; everyone likes to be friends with him, but if you start a business with him, forget it—you're guaranteed to lose money.
Many times I feel like I'm watching a story about the late Tang Dynasty.
However, some parts are written so awkwardly, it's a bit like a poor imitation.
Actually, the writing is alright, but the main character in the last few chapters is a bit disgusting. I labeled him as a hypocrite and an idealist. He's a good person, but good people can't conquer the world in the Tang Dynasty. I understand that relying on the Zhang family of the Guiyi Army to develop himself isn't wrong, and breaking away isn't wrong either.
