I love this kind of thing. Everyone's traveled through time, who cares about court politics? I want to see laser cannons shooting down cavemen!
The ensemble writing style is good, but it somewhat distracts from the protagonist's character development. In addition, the protagonist's inner world and social interactions should be expanded. The time traveler's special abilities and feelings are not limited to steelmaking and cannon-making. In daily life, it's not just about inventions and politics. More interactions and exchanges would be better. Also, there should be some changes in historical figures and new characters.
Xu Guangqi was a public intellectual, and his crimes were heinous.
Writing about peasant uprisings at the end of the Ming Dynasty is actually very difficult because peasant armies lack their own official historical records. One can only piece together a general understanding from Ming Dynasty archives, memorials, and unofficial historical accounts. This includes tactics, military practices, and the composition of the armed forces. The author needs extremely high-level historical research and collection skills.
Several dynasties that regressed into feudal civilizations, each with its own millennia-long history, have repeatedly proven that nothing—technology, population size advantage, resources, culture, or even a sudden influx of powerful men—could save a feudal dynasty.
Witnessing the rise of Li Zicheng?
Is this a testament to Li Zicheng's rise? Keep it up, the historical race isn't easy!
The author can refer to other novels that also depict peasant uprisings, such as "Ming Dynasty: Not Seeking Life" and "Phosphorus Fire Often Shines on the Same Day."
This update isn't even enough for monthly votes, I need to write more!
Suggestion
1. Before the book is published, try to update during the daytime or after get off work hours. 2. Focus more on the development process and less on controversial topics, as some people may be unpredictable. 3. Ensure that technological advancements are realistic and avoid overly exaggerated plot devices. 4.
The author writes a bit slowly, so I could only buy a copy of Mr. Yao Xueyin's *Li Zicheng* to read for now. 🤓
