The Second Fang of the Early Tang

Let me say this to those who come after: this book can be considered the beginning of plagiarism, so some of the plot points may seem commonplace or uninteresting now, but they were incredibly creative back then. Please don't judge the pioneers' actions with the eyes of those who came after.

I can't read first-person novels

It's alright to read, although the first-person perspective is a bit uncomfortable. But it seems familiar, after all, it's a book from 13 years ago. And some people in the comments are saying it's toxic, like using the swords of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of today? Are you eating shit?!

An early sacred book, I came to worship it.

Isn't this supposed to be about training the early Tang Dynasty? ... I feel the original name was more imposing.

I'm buying this now. I followed this book throughout my second year of high school, and now I'm a postdoctoral researcher, and I reread it almost every year. Some people say the protagonist is a bit of a fool, but who isn't? These kinds of adult fairy tales are the best comfort under pressure. My youthful memories 😭

Ten years ago, I read it all night long. It's a truly wonderful memory. The first-person narrative might be unfamiliar to some readers, but I want to say, if you persevere, you'll enjoy it. The characters are fully fleshed out, brimming with emotion, and the language is witty and humorous. For someone as lonely as me, it was excellent spiritual nourishment.

I read a few chapters, but because it's written in the first person, I didn't feel any sense of immersion, and it was uncomfortable to read.

The first historical time-travel novel I ever read.

The first-person perspective is enough to discourage people from using it.
