Returning to the Late Ming to Become a Warlord

The protagonist, a time traveler, actually wields cold weapons extensively? Even if you don't understand military affairs, you should at least know that the future belongs to firearms! Even the most ignorant could easily defeat the Qing Dynasty by simply learning the most advanced Western phalanx formation, Gustav's phalanx.

This book is toxic; it's already the late Ming Dynasty, yet it spends a huge amount of time describing scholars, literati, and courtesans composing poems and flirting with women. The first few dozen chapters are entirely dedicated to this.

I've finished watching it. It's basically historically accurate, but the two armies are evenly matched. The Manchu troops are incredibly fast, and while the protagonist could easily muster hundreds of thousands of troops, it's impossible for the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty to have such a large army.

The author's descriptions of resource integration are decent. The reason this book isn't popular is because it doesn't align with modern values; the protagonist is like a saint, and the portrayal of human nature is superficial and lacks depth. Since it's not a wish-fulfillment novel, it should focus more on the details of political intrigue; otherwise, it might as well be a wish-fulfillment novel.

It's like a chicken rib—tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away. A modern person who doesn't know how to adapt—if the Ministry of War won't recruit for you, can't you find your own way to recruit? Li Yunlong's troops all knew how to recruit privately; they managed to recruit a division out of a regiment's strength.

To not kill the Zhu family and destroy the Manchus is to trample a worm to death.

By the late Ming Dynasty, there were already firearms with broken hair. Finding some highly skilled craftsmen to make them shouldn't be a problem. Besides, modern people have seen the world, even if they haven't eaten pork, they've certainly seen pigs run. They could probably improve the firearms a bit. Even if it's difficult to make, they could still afford to spend a thousand a year.

The protagonist is a transmigrated soul, so how would he know he has type O blood? ... This is a huge mistake!

They're spending thousands of taels of silver at a time; that's enough to bribe a county magistrate. It's outrageously absurd.

I read the beginning of this book and then lost interest. It just felt unsatisfying; the issues were superficial and uninspiring. The military training and management were lacking. The main plot wasn't prominent, some decisions were convoluted, and there was a tendency to exaggerate the enemy's actions while portraying the author's own lack of courage. Therefore, it failed to provide any satisfying moments.
