Reversing the Ming Dynasty, 1644

This book is terrible. The protagonist is a disgrace to modern people. For example, Emperor Chongzhen died less than 20 days ago. This is your own father, the one you possessed! You inherited someone else's life, can't you fulfill your responsibilities beyond enjoying the rights?

The emperor's father-in-law, Zhou Kui, is not Zhou Ren. Also, Empress Zhou gave him 5000 taels of silver; Zhou Kui donated 3000 taels and pocketed 2000. A history idiot writing novels? Shame on you! He values ​​his maids more than family, flirts with them while fleeing, and is a lecherous man. How can someone like you turn things around and revive the Ming Dynasty?

The maidservant who fled for her life couldn't bear to part with him, while her brothers and sisters were carelessly abandoned.

This is utterly despicable. Everyone says that a good match should be made between equals. As an emperor, even if the female lead isn't from a prestigious family, she should at least have a respectable background. Forget about Yiyi, what is Huang Ying anyway? He even wants a prostitute, repeatedly describing her as a "fallen woman" in the text—who is he trying to disgust?

The author wants to destroy the Donglin Party? That's ridiculous! This is wartime; the foundation of the Southern Ming Dynasty is the Donglin Party. If you want to destroy the Donglin Party, the Southern Ming will probably perish before the Manchus even arrive.

Everything was fine until the end, when the protagonist suddenly lived to be almost 200 years old, and his great-great-grandson inherited the throne. What a cruel ending! Before the protagonist's children and grandchildren died, they couldn't help but curse him, saying things like, "What kind of prince lives for 80 years?"

Warning: This is a serious case of a condor and a pimp! As an emperor, having to promise several women in his harem that he would never take any more concubines is just ridiculous.

I used to disregard other people's reviews when reading books, since everyone has different tastes. But now I understand that, regardless of preferences, poison can kill anyone. Leaving aside the details and writing style, given the current level, I can't expect it to be exceptionally well-written.

Actually, of all the speeches in Chinese history about resisting foreign invasion, I like Chiang Kai-shek's the most. It speaks of how, in the face of foreign invasion, regardless of north or south, young or old, everyone had a responsibility to defend their homeland and fight back… Although Chiang Kai-shek wasn't a great man, this speech was truly inspiring. 😊

During the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was addressed as "Your Majesty," not "Emperor." It's such basic common sense that even a child knows, yet the author doesn't understand!
