Edo's Number One

The author seems to be a woman, or at least a female-oriented author, whose writing style is definitely female-oriented. She has no understanding of Japanese history and law, yet she thinks she can handle everything with palace intrigue, but she is not decisive and ruthless. It is really hard to swallow!

Speechless 😅 Can the author please understand that you're writing a historical novel, not a martial arts novel? All sorts of nonsensical plots are coming out.

Geisha and courtesans are two different things, right?

I couldn't even finish the first few chapters. What do you mean you cut them in half so they couldn't make a sound? Did their vocal cords grow onto their waists?

What is a normal reaction after being kidnapped? Can anyone tell me?

To be honest, this novel is misclassified and shouldn't be in the historical fiction category.

As expected of a book about everyday life, the protagonist's pettiness shines through the pages, and the power struggles are truly disgusting and petty.

Doesn't anyone find it strange that this entire book club is discussing "Edo Ichiban"?

The only redeeming quality of this book is that the protagonist is a bulldozer, as described by Alexandre Dumas.

The first chapter was absolutely fantastic, but the second chapter came up with a ridiculously unoriginal and lousy system. Did you switch from Tomato (a popular Chinese web novelist)?
