The author's writing is very good, and the framework is also good, but the character of the protagonist is really unbearable. When he is brave, his brain is useless, but when he uses his brain, he lacks courage and decisiveness. After reading 100 chapters, I really can't stand it anymore.
The writing and plot are good, but the main character is a bit disgusting. No wonder so many people hate it.
What was the environment like in the late Ming Dynasty? Killing a few people will make you sad, but holding hostages is immoral, you villain! ! This article is irritating. No matter how good the content is, it makes me sick just looking at this pig's trotters. If he wasn't a pig's trotters, he would have died long ago.
I'm speechless. Gunpowder controls things, including iron. How many gun barrels can the Ming Dynasty make in a year? You have to call me dad. It's just a craftsman with a few apprentices. A few hundred a month. I'm writing a historical article and checking things. It's a waste of hours. Unlucky.
I've only read more than 200 chapters and I can't stand it anymore. The highlight is Chapter 278: The family is in trouble, what kind of things does Zhu Ting's girl do, she rides a horse to scare the protagonist's mother, cuts off the maid's hair in front of the old lady, contradicts the old lady, the protagonist doesn't even let out a fart, and even turns around to coax her, how unbecoming of a human being. Don't talk nonsense. This is a novel. I don't know what you think, but if it were you, how could you bear it if someone did this to your mother?
It can only be said that the level of readers at the starting point is getting lower and lower. There are so many people criticizing such a good book. It is really unsightly to look at the books on the ranking list! !
Are you still a master at this level? ? ? ? I don't even want to complain because there are too many!
After reading over a hundred chapters, it is undeniable that it is a good novel. But this is not a good online novel, and the protagonist's outlook is also problematic. He was a businessman before time travel, and it is understandable that he is portrayed as being mercenary. It is okay to flatter him for the sake of power, even if he is in cahoots with eunuchs and treacherous ministers, because his purpose from the beginning was not for national justice, but only for the independence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in troubled times. However, his attitude and approach to doing things are completely different. He is originally a villain but he also works for the country and the people. He does not want to see the suffering of the poor, hangs out with the poor, and opposes the powerful. He does not dare to use thunderous means to steal food from the powerful to strengthen himself and make a living for the people. He is restrained everywhere and looks very angry. The protagonist is complex, just as the reader's emotions are complex while reading the book. This book would have been a god ten years ago, but for those of us who have only been into the Internet for a short time, the whole article is frustrating. The reality is very tiring. Everyone just wants to enjoy the grudge and has no patience to savor it slowly.
After watching most of it, I really can't help but feel unhappy. The protagonist's life is in danger and she is still a virgin, and her IQ is off the line at any time. What a fucking poisonous plot this is. I saw that the protagonist finally trained his troops well and achieved a great victory, but in the end he was buried in the grave? Damn it, isn't the protagonist a history buff? A person who is so familiar with history doesn't even have the common sense to leave his head behind to receive merit. However, all of his subordinates are also stupid, so they don't remind him? This protagonist's brain may be a bit damaged.
A thousand musketeers fought against 30,000, and there were also cavalry. As the commander, he single-handedly picked up a girl among the thousands of soldiers. The girl then jumped on her horse to scare his mother, just like a normal person. From the front, I can't tell that he is a national warrior. I only see that he wants to be a small warlord. He is not cowardly when he should be cowardly, and he is a holy mother when he should be ruthless. I really can't figure out how to survive. In terms of technology, I didn't mention making muskets, iron materials, gunpowder, etc., So I just drew it. A blueprint, alas, the flintlock gun was made. A blacksmith and several apprentices produced more than three hundred per month. Not to mention the raw materials, the speed was really outrageous The war scene, I really didn't expect that the two armies were fighting, and they could still fight with the enemy. Do you really think that muskets are invincible? Did they all get ak? In short, let's not talk about the writing and plot. The protagonist's character is really disgusting and the details are illogical. He killed a whole family and left out a butler? Really deliberate
This book is really great. Don't listen to the nonsense of a bunch of book reviewers. I have been reading online books for five or six years, and the book is almost fourteen years old. This book is an absolute masterpiece, with online logic and very successful character creation. For those who can't stand it, I guess they've been brainwashed by entertainment to death, and it won't work if it doesn't feel good. As a historical fiction novel, I think the author is very successful and successfully reflects the powerlessness of the late Ming Dynasty. Come on, author, this book is really great. I am not a hired gunman, and I don't think I can hire a fisherman because of the performance of this book. I think the reason why this book's performance is so poor is that bad money drives out good money. It's sad. If someone sees this paragraph of mine, if you have been reading for a long time and have a certain amount of cultural accumulation, believe me, if you continue reading, you will not be disappointed. Maybe he is not famous now, but I believe that he will eventually leave a mark in the colorful wheel of history, just like the moonlit night on the spring river, his light blooms across the darkness of thousands of years. This book is like a brilliant pearl in the crown of Internet culture.
