A Con Man at the End of the Northern Song

The plot, content, and writing style are all good, but the protagonist's characterization (the setting is too toxic) is flawed. He's basically the kind of person most despised in society. He embodies all the flaws of an ordinary person (it would have been better to just write him as an ordinary person), plus a bunch of characteristics of a petty thug and a gangster's underling.

I've read the whole book. While there's plenty to criticize if you really want to, it's still the most enjoyable faith-based novel I've ever read! It has history, it involves becoming a god, it's fun, exciting, and thrilling, and many parts match my own ideas about time travel to ancient times. The part that jumps to America—the author's imaginative leaps are truly impressive. This book is very meaningful to me!

High heels are only suitable for paved, smooth surfaces and are appropriate for working women. Most roads in the Northern Song Dynasty were uneven, so wearing high heels would easily result in twisted ankles. They might be fashionable in the palace or among the common people, but forget about them.

Extremely toxic. The protagonist, despite holding a high position and having no need to care about money, is still incredibly stingy. He was already a Taoist master in ancient times, and then spent millions on grain to buy food to aid disaster victims back in ancient times. His biggest concern was the loss of those millions of dollars. He has absolutely no manners, no logic, and no common sense.

The protagonist is utterly useless. The book begins by saying he's a Taoist enthusiast, passionate about cultivating magic. After transmigrating, he acquires so many spells but doesn't learn or practice them, spending all his time in the Northern Song Dynasty scheming and making money.

Can the main character be a little normal? Are free-range eggs really that appealing? You can't afford them if they're seventeen or eighteen yuan a pound?

One of my favorite books since 2013, arguably the best. It's the book that I personally find most appealing, the one from which I gained the most, and the one that had the greatest impact on me. Even after six years, I still often reminisce about it; it's the best book I've ever read. I've been able to find answers to some philosophical questions within its pages.

I can't help but say a few words, the protagonist's character design is really terrible! Cowardly, incompetent, greedy, and lustful, he relies on the author's protection to make his way in the world, how can the readers bear it!

This protagonist is ignorant, stupid, naive, has a terrible personality, is frivolous, greedy, and acts without any rhyme or reason. Who the hell recommended this book?

This protagonist makes it completely unwatchable.
