The Red Chamber's Martial Saint

Stop trying to arrange a marriage between Wang Xin and the Xue family. If you really want to marry into the Xue family, choose Xue Baoqin. Looking at the original novel, the Xue family had long since fallen from grace. Their official positions were gone, leaving them only with the status of imperial merchants—merchants who supplied goods to the royal family.

The author repeatedly states that the protagonist is neither a good nor a bad person, but simply an ordinary person with principles. However, it is precisely these principles and the characteristics of a normal modern person that create a truly extraordinary character.

The protagonist has military power, can win battles, and even wins the hearts of the people? Isn't this the prelude to a rebellion? Do they really think the ancients didn't study history? ... 886

The author's writing has become increasingly unrestrained, particularly in military matters. He kills foreign leaders under false pretenses, and also kills surrendered leaders without hesitation, feeling quite pleased with himself. He believes he is shameless towards foreign powers but noble at home.

Can you please keep the protagonist's character consistent? At the beginning, he was an ordinary person using cheat codes to scheme and maneuver while still having a certain moral compass—I could accept that. Later, he became an ambitious schemer who outwardly showed loyalty but secretly used cheat codes to make moves—that was fine too.

The male protagonist only knows how to go with the flow; was he a turtle in his past life?

It's too drawn out. How long did it take to write about training troops and suppressing Japanese pirates? Even after dozens of chapters, there's not a single satisfying moment to keep the reader going. The plot always revolves around political intrigue, but it's not exciting enough; it just throws in obstacles and tries to win people over with consolidation and suppression.

This is a very enjoyable read of *Dream of the Red Chamber*. The protagonist's personality is far better than most protagonists today. This is how someone with memories of a past life should behave.

He's really good at padding out the story; it's over a million words long, and in a real sense, he's only added Ping'er, who had already been a concubine. Impressive.

This is the first adaptation of the Dream of the Red Chamber novel whose original plot surpasses that of the stage plays.
