The Late Ming Legend

Compared to the ancients, the protagonist is incredibly dim-witted. What I hate most is this kind of person who doesn't accept a single penny of the court's provisions, acting like a mindless sycophant, constantly running to the most dangerous places to be cannon fodder for the court.

The protagonist of this book is neither a loyal and patriotic person, nor a hero, but merely an opportunistic usurper. During the most difficult time of the Ming Dynasty, all he thought of was his own power, status, and interests. He neglected the North, the Ming Dynasty, and the Emperor, monopolizing the wealth of the South while watching the people of the North suffer ruin and death, all while…

Two signs of the increasing youthfulness of online writers are: first, the creation of stereotypical, demonizing, and eunuch-like characters; these writers are just parroting what others say, lacking any real critical thinking skills. The second sign is the use of guerrilla tactics; these writers are essentially underdeveloped.

This book is suitable for readers under 16. Anyone with even a modicum of critical thinking skills will find it unreadable. The outline is okay, but the writing is poor, lacking in common sense, too much assumptions, the plot is abrupt, and there's insufficient dramatic conflict. In short, it's a simplistic, low-brow novel, perfect for elementary school students.

The Zheng family army was an entity unacceptable to the Ming Dynasty's civil official politics. Ming armies could resemble bandits, the military families of Liaodong, or even become warlords. However, an army could not be like the Qi family army, let alone the Zheng family army, the protagonist of this story.

Even before the marriage was confirmed, the Wen family patriarch, relatives, and young ladies were already causing so much trouble. From the patriarch to the young ladies, the Wen family members were all old-fashioned and confused. It's likely that the protagonist would experience far more pain than joy and would be more of a hindrance than a help by marrying into such a family!

The characters lack personality and are completely stereotypical. The writing style is too childish; even the free chapters are unreadable. I'd rather reread Jieyu or Laobai Niu's books five or six times.

In Jiangning, Southern Zhili, they still perform shamanistic rituals. What are history departments teaching these days?

Definitely a bad review. The author himself knows it's a post-apocalyptic world. Studying in the apocalypse? Taking exams for officialdom? Ridiculous. When a massive army arrives, will they even bother to compare their writing skills? They lack even basic common sense.

To be honest, this book is incredibly boring. From the beginning to the end, the plot drags on and there's absolutely nothing interesting about it. For readers of Qidian.com, especially those who read history, they can be divided into only three categories: The most popular genre is undoubtedly the conquest and construction genre.
