The Medical Sage

Oh no, as I read on, I realized this was another harem novel, and one that made it seem like "they're all throwing themselves at me"—so I dropped it.

I read this novel many years ago. The plot was very leisurely, which is my personal favorite type. The author seems to be an alternate account of a popular female-oriented author, but unfortunately, the book didn't do well, and updates were very slow at the time. The author said they had to stop updating for a while to support their family. I remember everyone really liked the character Shen Shiniang; they thought she would be the female lead, but who knew...

It was alright at the beginning, but it got out of control later on, and the plot became increasingly absurd. Although it's supposed to be a lighthearted read, it becomes boring when it gets too padded out.

His elder brother was likely captured by bandits and made their strategist or leader. Later, when the protagonist is at odds with the bandits, he suddenly discovers that the leader or strategist is his elder brother, leading to a series of subsequent events.

The medical plot is well-written; the first hundred chapters don't feature any harem or ambiguous themes, and the characters are quite vivid. Chen Qi is somewhat endearing 😊, like Zhang E from "Ya Sao"—a playboy with a straightforward heart. I love the refined elegance of historical fiction, it's a pity.

The arbitrary addition of buffs is unacceptable. The protagonist in a polo match has never ridden a horse, yet he can turn the tide of battle—how can the book be watchable? It feels like something's missing from the book. I have a strong grudge about the polo scene; the plot feels abrupt. Since it's about medicine, it should have developed from a medical perspective.

The beginning was really good, but I didn't watch the rest.

Post a book review as encouragement. 🤭

Seeing so many people wanting to cancel their subscriptions because of Qingyun, I couldn't help but come here and ramble on a bit. Taking Qingyun as a concubine was indeed somewhat inappropriate, but upon closer examination, it wasn't entirely unacceptable. I wonder if everyone noticed Chen Jing's attitude after taking Qingyun as a concubine.

His seventh brother killed him, and he doesn't even hate him. He's still acting like a kid, not hating anyone. Has the protagonist forgotten how he transmigrated? Or is the author simply ignoring it?
