The Rise of an Empire

The protagonist finds it too tiring, so he doesn't want to be emperor. Those number 2 through 10 figures in the Dengzhou camp will definitely die without a burial place, and their entire clan may be wiped out. Those below number 10 may be recruited, but a large number will certainly die. The protagonist is powerful now, but once he's gone, dead, or gone, the underlings he promoted are doomed!

A modern person, with superhuman abilities to travel to two worlds and possess medical skills, still can't stand up for himself. He so quickly loses his dignity by acknowledging an uncle and is constantly being lectured by the ancients. Indeed, once a nation's pride is broken, it's not so easy to recover.

First of all, I admire the author for being able to write novels, because I couldn't. As a book lover and a critic, I have to complain. The beginning, when the protagonist met Zhang Juren, disgusted me. As a modern person, it's really hard to accept kneeling before someone, especially kneeling to beg for military training and then kneeling and crying, claiming half the profits.

What kind of share distribution is this? The protagonist gets 70%, the Zhang family gets 20%, that's much better. It's unreasonable to have each family get 45%. Too much gratitude makes people take it for granted. All the goods were bought by the protagonist from the modern world; there were no other branches. Even if the Zhang family gets two-thirds of the shares, they've still made a fortune.

To be honest, with the protagonist's cheat-like abilities, he could easily have rebelled. The protagonist's self-sacrifice is frustrating to watch. The Ming Dynasty fell because of these gentry and landlords, yet the protagonist tries to unite them.

The protagonist believes this is a bourgeois revolution, which must be resolved by force.

Judging an author from a single book will lead to certain failure. Why? Because you're too soft-hearted and have too much sympathy. You're not even a hero; you'd be a coward. A modern person sympathizing with ancient people? What can I say? Countless people die every day in modern society. Why would you have the leisure to sympathize with ancient people?

It's not good-looking, and it blindly praises the Ming Dynasty. In reality, the Ming Dynasty was also a terrible dynasty.

The protagonist is too indecisive, childish, and immature; such a protagonist would never succeed in any era.

It's a light novel where the protagonist is an ordinary person, so ordinary that he's somewhat foolish, and his literary skills are lacking. Honestly, in my opinion, the protagonist should either be more genuine or more cautious. But I feel this protagonist is vulgar (lowbrow), and there's no satisfying element to the story. He's petty and carefree, which feels like a recipe for disaster...
