The Sinister Hero of the Late Sui Dynasty

They're always talking about rebellion, but they never actually rebel. That's not the problem, though. The issue is that when the Sui Dynasty was still powerful, they kept letting people know they were planning a rebellion. Although everyone understands Sui Dynasty politics, nobody openly declared they wanted to rebel.

I've read hundreds of chapters, and the book is full of Casanovas! Wang Shichong, Yang Xuangan, Li Mi, and others lived to their thirties without ever having a wife. These close friends are always plotting rebellion. I wonder if it's even possible for such things to happen to scions of noble families in ancient China?

It's understandable that the protagonist is a time traveler who doesn't know history, but it's completely incomprehensible that he doesn't know that Emperor Yang of Sui was actually Yang Guang.

Damn, I scrolled to the very bottom of the table of contents and all I saw was a duel with Li Shimin... What the heck? Over 2000 chapters and this is all you wrote? You wrote over 2000 chapters just to kill Li Shimin... Is that even meaningful? Instead of writing about unifying the country, developing people's livelihoods and technology, and then conquering the world...

This is so cruel to the protagonist, I can't take it anymore. It feels like the main character is just plagued by bad luck, always offending people no matter what he does. Despite achieving countless merits, he ends up as a lowly official. After reading two hundred chapters, every single character in those chapters has a grudge against the protagonist.

Why did he suddenly change course? After Wang Shichong quelled the rebellion with Yang Xuangan, how did he suddenly become so soft-hearted under the influence of this man from Dayang? Up until now, I'd always thought Wang Shichong was an ambitious figure like Xiao Xian, who would create conditions to rebel when none existed.

This is the first time I've ever seen an author charge for an author's closing remarks. I give up.

1. The readership consists of modern people, not ancient people! They just feel frustrated! Frustrated! Frustrated!!! 2. Don't fawn over the ancients! In an era of such backward information and scarcity, under the monopoly of aristocratic families, the intelligence of tens of thousands of people is incomparable to the outstanding individuals among 1.4 Billion people. 3. Full of intrigue and scheming, but almost devoid of bloodshed and cruelty.

The middle section is indeed written a bit disjointedly. The Sui Dynasty was at its most powerful; Yang Guang hadn't even ascended the throne yet, and there were still more than a decade before the country descended into chaos, yet a group of people were already plotting rebellion.

I wanted to write a brain-teasing novel where the protagonist relies on strategy and tactics rather than brute force. The character concept is quite good, but the author can't handle it; it ends up being a simplistic, amateurish story. The protagonist lacks strategy, and the explanations are forced.
