Captivating the Lords

I came back to look at some novels I read in high school, expecting a bunch of people in the comments section reminiscing and rereading them like me. Instead, I found a lot of people just complaining… Please, look at the publication date! What's there to say about such old novels? Do you think you're the smartest?

Many parts are illogical. The female lead is skilled in martial arts, has killed people, and has died once, yet she becomes mentally challenged and weak in front of the male lead? It's surprising that the common plot hole in online novels, where "the female lead's various attributes decrease drastically when she meets the male lead," would appear in an author of Lin Da's caliber.

I really enjoyed this novel. The author is both talented and passionate, possessing wisdom and a beautiful hope for life. Readers should also have their own opinions; even if you don't like it, please be mindful of your words and avoid making unwarranted criticisms. Exposing your own crudeness would be counterproductive. 🤭

I think those who criticize this article should learn more about history, okay? Don't use your superior ideas to lecture others. The Wei and Jin dynasties were known for their elegance and refinement, but they were more than just that; their integrity was paramount. Study history more before you start pontificating here.

The more I watch, the more I think this female lead is crazy. She's not good enough for either Wang Qilang or General Ran. She keeps saying she didn't seduce them, and even uses her rebirth to do it—it's disgusting.

All criticisms of the female protagonist cannot be used as a criterion for my decision on whether to read this book, because I know there are a lot of misogynistic and pretentious people out there now.

Why do some people always think that rebirth guarantees dominance? An ordinary person reborn might change a few things; it's impossible for them to suddenly become smarter, much less a heartthrob. While this book has some issues with the female lead's portrayal, which I'm somewhat ashamed of, it's very realistic and fits the historical context perfectly.

What a piece of trash! Is this supposed to be a female-centric novel? The female lead is so pretentious; she seems to have changed little despite being reborn. So vulgar.

Hmm, I was stuck at home during the pandemic and remembered some novels I'd read as a child that I hadn't finished, so I decided to check them out. But all I saw was a bunch of people praising the Wei-Jin period... I don't know what to say. The so-called Wei-Jin elegance was squeezed from the very bones of the people at that time.

Over the years, whenever I've experienced a reading slump and run out of books to read, I always turn to this page by Lin Da. After reading it, I can't forget it.
