Now that you've traveled back in time, you should recruit your own troops and conquer the world, instead of becoming a lackey. I reckon those scholars would kill you then.
I always feel like I can't stop, I drag my feet on everything, it's so close yet so far... It's so boring.
I couldn't even finish the first chapter of "Old Shell Has a Bag" (a popular online novel), I just couldn't continue reading.
The writing feels somewhat unrealistic. It overemphasizes theories that clash with the social climate of the time. The more I read, the more awkward it feels. Socialism hasn't even been realized yet. I wonder when it will be. Ancient rebellions that followed the author's ideas all failed, the most famous being the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Taiping Rebellion.
There's a goddess in my office, and we work the night shift together. She told me she wanted to watch TV. I asked her what she wanted to watch, and she said CCTV-1. So I turned on the TV and tuned it to CCTV-1. Then she ignored me and stopped watching TV. What did I do wrong?
Author! Your ending was utterly terrible!
[Comment] Here's a suggestion, from the bottom of my heart.
This book has 300,000 words written, but the data is only this small. Brother, do you realize where the problem lies? I also write historical novels, currently titled "Reborn as Emperor in the Late Ming Dynasty." I greatly admire your writing skills, but perhaps I can offer some suggestions regarding its commercialization.
This ending is essentially a poorly written, abandoned story.
[Comment] Can't we have a more prestigious title? Always calling him "Young Master" feels a bit odd. Commander, General, or King would all be fine.
"Young Master" is a term of address for cultured people, while Hu Guang was a rebel who killed officials; how could someone so refined and scholarly have the air of a leader? Also, after the Heavenly Army established itself on the grasslands, did they intend to fight the Jurchens or return to the interior of China?
I read from the beginning to chapter 50+, and I was so disgusted by the protagonist's brother, who was highly capable but had extremely low intelligence and emotional intelligence, that I skipped to chapter 144 and finally could read on.
