Great Ming Detective 1546

Will the protagonist eventually expose Jiajing as the mastermind behind everything? 😡

This book seems so outdated. What kind of brilliant detective is he, serving as a lackey for incompetent rulers like the Jiajing and Wanli Emperors of the Ming Dynasty? Even if the protagonist catches every criminal in the world, he can't change the course of history. Public resentment will eventually build up, and the Qing Dynasty will still conquer the country. Is the protagonist destined to be some kind of famous or loyal minister?

History + martial arts + detective stories are entertaining, but getting involved in politics really hurts the appeal. However, sometimes a protagonist with a low social standing does hinder their performance. Popular detective dramas often blur the lines of power; for example, Detective Di Renjie, with his prime ministerial rank (at the very least, a minor official), doesn't have the same issue…

Author, stop thinking about your detective act. I want to read about Zhu Tianwen. Being a detective in the Ming Dynasty is much better than in the Song Dynasty; at least you'd have a good magnifying glass then.

The author's previous books are all quite good, especially the detective stories, which are good enough to be adapted into TV dramas. The cases are captivating. However, the author doesn't grasp the key elements of online novels, resulting in poor reader immersion. Take the previous book, *The Great Song Dynasty Detective Chronicles*, for example; the choice of the female lead was a major problem.

The more I learn about history, the more I feel the Qing Dynasty's crimes are unforgivable. The Ming Dynasty was a country combining land and sea; before the Qing, China didn't have a concept of territory. Anything discovered belonged to China. Like the Oirat Mongols, who captured the Ming emperor, right? That's recorded in history.

It was poorly written and left unfinished. It's not as good as Li Yuanfang's book.

I've stockpiled a hundred chapters to start reading. The author's writing is on point, the pace is fast, one small case after another, and so far I haven't seen a main plot that connects the whole story; it feels a bit like an episodic drama. The detective work is quite good. But!

Like those detective stories, they'd be killed within three days. Some things are just power struggles; the truth isn't important, the important thing is not to get involved, or you'll be dead.
