Great Ming: I Want to Be the Imperial Grandson

The fact that the protagonist in the book became a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard shows that Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of making him emperor; someone who does dirty work can't become emperor.

To be truly precise, Zhu Yunwen wasn't even the legitimate son. If a concubine could elevate a son born of a concubine to the status of legitimate son and surpass the legitimate son, it would have corrupted the ethics of feudal society. Favoring concubines over wives would likely have become the norm, which would be detrimental to the emperor. Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen was the founding emperor, and no one dared to oppose him.

An emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang, who was old and had no heir, would not have bothered to listen to his ministers' nonsense about who should be the crown prince. He would have quickly made his choice and started grooming the right person. He would not have bothered with such childish power struggles.

You're talking nonsense. Zhu Yunwen was only chosen by Zhu Zhu to compensate for the early death of his eldest son. As long as his three grandsons were vying for the throne, with the support of the Huaixi nobles, Zhu Yunwen had no chance at all unless Zhu Zhu simply killed all of them first.

The author's experience is only 3 years old. It's laughable. If you want to kill your uncle, just say so. Why make it a matter of exterminating the Chang family in Dudu Mansion with a single sentence?

It's fine if you privately vent your anger by calling Zhu Yunwen a bastard, but to do it in court like that is just tarnishing the reputation of the Zhu family. Even a son born out of wedlock has Zhu family blood! If you call him that, not only will others be angered, but all the princes who weren't born to Empress Ma will be cursing you in their hearts. A ruler, regardless of anything else, should at least show some composure. You're behaving like a shrew.

After reading the latest chapter, I realized the protagonist's desire to kill Lan Yu is as stupid as Emperor Chongzhen's attempt to kill the Ninth Prince! What an idiot! He seemed somewhat intelligent before, but in this latest chapter, the protagonist is just too weak-willed!

It feels like the author switched from writing for female-oriented novels to male-oriented novels. Although they are trying to write according to the standards of male-oriented novels, there are still some details that have a female-oriented flavor.

The so-called struggles in this book are ridiculous; in reality, they would have been hacked to death countless times over.

I don't think the author is very suited to writing about power struggles. You should write about the Zhengde Emperor, the Tianqi Emperor, or even the Wanli Emperor. That might be better. You've been writing this for so long, and all you've done is frustration; you're making readers want to curse.
