Not for Beginners, Few Clichés
I'm not into formulaic stories, and official recommendations just don't do it for me, so I made this list. If you have recommendations, let me know. P.S. Most of what I read is dark and unconventional, so it might make you a little uncomfortable, but the characters are definitely smarter than average! I've become obsessed with Hearts of Iron IV, and it's made me interested in modern history.

There are more than a thousand chapters. I finally finished reading and caught up with the latest chapter. Let me share my thoughts. The writing style and historical materials of this book demonstrate the author's solid literary foundation. The text at the beginning is concise and has the style of ancient prose. Readers who are used to reading novice texts may not be used to it and abandon the book. It can only be said that it is their loss and they have missed a classic. Readers who persist in reading will gradually fall in love with the style of this ancient prose, and their literary accomplishments will also become better and better, and they will become more eloquent. This is the art and charm of ancient prose. Returning to the main text, let's talk about the protagonist Wang Yan first. He is not a time traveler. He is a native of the Ming Dynasty. He failed to participate in the imperial examination. He fell into the river in frustration and drunkenness. He was supposed to die. At this time, the time traveler from later generations came and traveled through him. As a result, the time traveler failed and the soul fragments were fused to Wang Yan, thus opening up the path of the son of the plane. The author said that he wrote about the end of the Ming Dynasty from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty scholars, describing how the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty Shilin resisted the Qing Dynasty and saved the country under the general environment of the destruction of the country, the invasion of foreign tribes, the migration of clothes and clothes to the south, and the change of clothes. There were several opportunities for a comeback, but they were all lost in infighting. At first, Wang Yan was a little pedantic and believed in the Nanming court again and again. As a result, Nanming lost its good situation. But this fits the perspective of a native of the Ming Dynasty, and this is exactly what the author wants to express. After Wang Yan was disappointed one after another, he realized that only by taking power can he change. This is a mental journey of the protagonist's growth. Many readers couldn't stand Wang Yan's pedantry and abandoned the article because they felt that the protagonist was a loser. It can only be said that they are suitable for reading Shuangbai Wen like Long Aotian. These stories with connotation and growth are not suitable for them. The first three to four hundred chapters are probably quite sad, but they fit in with the background of the era when the country was destroyed and families were invaded by foreign invaders. Everyone in the world suffered from disasters, wars and disasters, and ten houses were empty. After the protagonist takes power, things get better and return to the normal protagonist route. Another drawback is that Wang Yan took more than 20 guards to find Xu Yanyan in occupied Nanjing, but was discovered by the Qing soldiers and was surrounded. In order to save Wang Yan, many people died. The guards died, the temple monks were cut off, and the temple was burned to death. Many readers complained when they saw this, feeling that Wang Yan had put himself in danger and so many benevolent and righteous people had died because of him. However, this plot is necessary. First, it shows that the protagonist is young and does things rashly. After experiencing this incident, the protagonist grows up rapidly. The second is his affection for Xu Yanyan. Third, in the occupied Nanjing, he met Jin Yiwei who was also avoiding the Qing soldiers' encirclement and attack. This line paved the way for Jin Yiwei to work for him.
Time travel novels are popular and costume films fill the screen Because the country is in dire straits and there is no hope
The last thing I want to talk about is whether the protagonist is Huo Guang, Zhao Kuangyin, a constitutional monarch, or a dog-eat-dog. The dead rabbit can be eliminated, which is not consistent with the novel. When I read more than 300 chapters, several readers were discussing this. I added the sentence "constitutional monarchy" because in the first 300 to 400 chapters, the protagonist's loyalty is comparable to that of Yue Fei, and I feel that the protagonist does not look like Zhao Kuangyin. As a result, they encountered a siege, which showed that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to have a constitutional monarchy. Scholars at that time did not have this awareness, and countries around the world had not yet had this idea. Well, they're talking about normal world history, I'm talking about this novel. Now that I have read more than a thousand chapters and have caught up with the latest chapters, I will talk about this topic again. (Note: I am discussing this book, not normal world history!) I saw more than 300 chapters before and talked about a constitutional monarchy, which is definitely biased. But now the protagonist has established a council system, cabinet proposals, and council votes to implement or not. The ministers gradually like this system, and the little emperor was ignored at a young age. After more than ten years, when the little emperor seizes power personally, the ministers will definitely not be allowed to return to the era of imperial power. This is already the prototype of a constitutional monarchy. The protagonists will not be Huo Guang and Zhao Kuangyin, but Cao Cao. Taking advantage of the emperor to control the princes is exactly what the protagonist is doing now. However, the protagonist adopts a gentle approach and appears to be co-ruling with the ministers. In fact, the power is in his hands, and the empire is reforming and transforming in the direction he expects. So it is said to be Cao Cao. I wonder if readers have noticed that the author left a foreshadowing in Chapter 392. Xu Yanyan and Wang Yan went to the temple to ask for a fortune. The old monk asked what he wanted, and Xu Yanyan answered that he wanted a son. Then the old monk read a poem: Avalokitesvara gives you a son, who will carry on the world in the future. The wind rises and the clouds fly, disturbing the soldiers of the world. Later, Xu Yanyan gave birth to twins, a boy named Wang Wendao and a girl named Wang Wenxiang. Conclusion: Wang Yan became Cao Cao, and his son Wang Wendao became Cao Pi.
After reading, this is a good book. It can be seen that the author is very careful and the plot is reasonable. Wang Yan felt that he was too loyal but seemed to be a traitor, and the ending was not good. It is not that being an emperor would make you happy. If you become the superintendent of the country, your son will also supervise the country, and he will be hereditary. The nameless emperor will only have to abdicate. If the hereditary inheritance continues, there will always be a member of the Wang family who usurps the throne, and it will not end well. It is better for Wang Yan to directly ascend the throne, rule the world with the literati, implement reforms, establish systems, and stabilize the country. Respond to world trends and emancipate your mind. Instead of leaving huge hidden dangers and eventually leading to war. Reforms will go back and forth, and eventually a balance will be reached. The compromise that has been emphasized in the article was finally broken. If you don't become the emperor, you still need to train some people who inherit Wang Yan's ideas and thoughts, and continue until most people agree. The process may have iterations, but it will never end.
I read Nanming's Big Husband and it was so depressing. The final system was actually unnecessary. At the end, I felt that the country was going to be divided. The protagonist himself dug a huge hole for the country, but the hole was too big. First of all, why did Zhu Ming stay? And as long as that class is dissatisfied, a civil war will be launched. In this way, it is better for the protagonist to become the emperor and increase the power of the cabinet. , And then let the emperor set up a secretariat. If the emperor is capable, he can naturally use the contradiction between the secretariat and the cabinet to control the imperial power, and the country will not be corrupted. The emperor is incompetent and just leaves things to the cabinet and secretaries. If the country does not need the emperor, the emperor will naturally be overthrown and changed to a republic. Sometimes a system that is too advanced is not necessarily good. The upper class fights, and the lower class suffers.

Very poisonous
I have watched too many braid plays, and in the first chapter, I used the title "adult". Although in the Ming Dynasty, there were people who addressed highly respected and important ministers as "adult", but they were rarely used, and "adult" generally refers to the title of elders in the family.
The author's new book "Nanming Dahuan" has been put on the shelves. This time it is somewhat different from "The Autumn of the Seventeenth Year of Chongzhen". It is not so depressing in the early stage. Book friends who like it can collect it.
This book is actually really good, but the early part is a bit awkward, but the later part is really exciting, but it's a pity that no one has read it\ue419
Why has this book been lost? Does anyone know why?
