Honestly, there's so much to discover in ancient times, but I really don't understand why you turned it into a farm stay just to make money. You can even imagine a bottle of Huangjing wine selling for 20,000, so making a few tens or hundreds from a farm stay is putting the cart before the horse.
It's still developing in this direction. Actually, some people in the comments section are right. What everyone wants to see is the entanglement with the ancients, not the modern money-making schemes. Because with the existence of gods who can travel between worlds, trading is inevitable.
It's on the new book chart!
I discovered today that it's actually on the new book charts. Although it's only a city category ranking, it's still ranked at the very bottom, at 94th. But it still made the list. It made it onto the new book charts with just 40,000 words. This is the first time this has ever happened to me. It's so beautiful, so beautiful. Thank you to all my new and old readers, brothers and sisters, for your support. Thank you! Thank you!
It was awkward that an elementary school student was talking to the main character like an adult.
The interactions with the little deity, the ancient people, and the butcher child in the earlier chapters were quite interesting. However, I don't know why, in the new chapters, the interactions with these rich kids seem very strange. There's all sorts of excessive praise, but the writing about the food isn't very good either. It creates a strong sense of disjointedness. If you're not good at this kind of writing, I suggest you write less of it, as it greatly affects the reader's experience.
Please write less about tiger bone wine and sandalwood.
Could you please reduce the number of stories about wealthy childhood friends bringing along other wealthy people, especially those that stretch to several chapters in a row? I prefer reading about tourists, children, and ancient people; I'm not interested in the transactions between super-rich and powerful figures worth tens or hundreds of millions. If you really want to read that, I have other books to choose from.
It's alright, but not many people are reading it yet, probably because it's short.
You wrote it incorrectly.
Author, I feel there's a problem with your writing attitude. Your writing is disjointed and jumps around in circles. This isn't good. I've been reading for almost twenty years, from traditional to online novels, I've read both good and bad. I can tell at a glance who writes well and who doesn't. Therefore, I suggest you show me the whole 180-chapter version first, and I'll give you some guidance.
It's good! Although the protagonist is a bit brainless! He should get some modern money for the farmers in this other world! First, support one of them to become a wealthy merchant and buy a minor official position! It would be so much better to bring over the original products from ancient times! Why buy wood from the modern world? Are they crazy? 😜
The story follows a plot of development that involves making money by developing tourist attractions, then introducing new characters. It will likely eventually lead to a dynastic struggle, though I won't call it a dynasty. It feels more like a revolving loop, where the more people and offerings a better reputation, the more new characters can be introduced, and the business grows bigger and…
