The Fourth Year of Yongli

The protagonist's personality should undergo some changes, otherwise it will feel too abrupt later on! From what we've seen so far, the protagonist is somewhat weak. He tries to unite the majority, but is utterly ruined by his incompetent teammates! "Unity achieved through struggle survives, unity achieved through compromise perishes"—I think the protagonist should have realized this!

Wearing Qing clothes and not rebelling, but having your chrysanthemum stabbed by ten thousand men.

Seriously? Water that's too cold can actually wash your skin clean? Really? Really?

The *Qing Dynasty Anecdotes: Titles* records that "" (Daren) was a respectful title used only by Qing Dynasty officials, originating from the Yongzheng Emperor. Officials of the second rank and above could be addressed with "," but after the Qianlong and Jiaqing Emperors, it became widespread, with almost every official referring to themselves as "."

I find it strange that in this day and age, so many people still like to fawn over constitutional monarchy. And fawning is one thing, but the problem is that this monarch is none other than the one who conquered the country. Isn't this just making enemies so that they can kill you and wipe out your lineage?

If *The Deer and the Cauldron* were released today, Jin Yong would probably be cursed so badly he'd end up in the hospital. The same goes for those Qing dynasty dramas; if they were released a couple of years later, they'd be doomed.

Each chapter is filled with a lot of historical material to pad the word count, and the protagonist is portrayed as a good-for-nothing. When I saw the protagonist writing some kind of Titanic script in order to recruit a girl named Li Xianlu, I just couldn't stand it anymore.

Rebuilding the Qi Family Army? What, are you going to hand over power and become someone else's babysitter? Besides, "Qi Family Army" is a colloquial term; it's fine for ordinary people to use it, but if you call it that yourself, you're just asking for trouble.

The army was routed, its commander captured, and morale was low. At this point, if you disperse a portion of the army to wage guerrilla warfare, are you sure they won't all return home, flee, or surrender? Under the author's arrangement, the protagonist's every action seems perfectly natural.

He died from poisoning after only five chapters; no wonder nobody reads it.
