The Chief National Scholar

Dear Jiangshan author, I've been a loyal fan of yours, but unfortunately, I still can't help but write a long review today, regardless of whether you see it or reply. Author, that's enough! The protagonist of *Jiangshan Meiren* was a bit weak in the early stages; you could have portrayed her with more sadness. At least in *Feng Huo Jiangshan*, the protagonist's love was her lifelong passion, which I tolerated. But you can't make each book more tragic than the last! I don't know if the Grand Master or Qin Baichuan harbors any resentment towards you, but as for making Qin Baichuan's life so uneasy, it's clear the Grand Master has fallen in love with him. This is already painful enough for them; don't add to their suffering. One is persecuted by his own family, the other is in a foreign land—they've already suffered enough. Why add to their misery and cause them unnecessary grief? So let Qin Baichuan truly return home soon and rest in peace. You still have so much to draw; aren't the East and the West all maps? Why waste Qin Baichuan's time on King Wu and King Yi? A heartfelt comment from someone who likes and feels somewhat sorry for the relationship between the head of the manor and Qin Baichuan.

My rendition of "Lilac Flower" was a disaster...

During the last two days of the National Day holiday, I was out and about, and while driving, I kept thinking about the new chapters that had been updated the night before. Then I gritted my teeth and decided it would be better to read them all at once. So, that night, I lay in bed and read 10 chapters on my iPad, which took me two hours! For me, Jiang Shan's books aren't meant to be flipped through, looked at, or read; they're meant to be savored. Perhaps it's because I'm a rather eccentric person at heart, and Jiang Shan's writing is particularly to my liking. The plot development isn't important, the character portrayal isn't important, but the choice of words and sentence structure resonates with my own tastes. After reading a sentence or two, I close my eyes and savor the subtle nuances between the lines, immersing myself in the environment described in the book as a spectator. It can be as elegant as the lingering fragrance of spring in Yangzhou, or as rustic as the delicious hairy crabs of Yangcheng Lake in Suzhou—simply satisfying! This feeling was something I only experienced eighteen years ago with Rumiko Takahashi's manga. Back then, I could flip through a manga by Tsukasa Hojo or Akira Toriyama in 20 minutes, while I could spend two hours reading one of Takahashi's. That's the difference between flipping through and truly appreciating.

Jiang Shan's book is truly excellent. From Yu Wang in *Jiangshan Meiren* to Li Jiuyang in *Feng Huo Jiangshan*, Jiang Shan has masterfully crafted a world where reality and online gaming intertwine. *Jiangshan Meiren*, in particular, is considered a masterpiece of online gaming novels. Now, *Chief National Hero* is also very well-written, with dramatic twists and turns and a rich, engaging plot. Jiang Shan is very suited to writing this type of novel, and I hope he continues to update regularly; I'm really looking forward to it. I also have a small suggestion: many people enjoy romance, such as the relationships between the male protagonist and the female protagonists. Depicting these relationships more would greatly enhance the novel, as seen in the recent chapters where the romance is depicted. Jiang Shan, don't worry about a lack of readers; many of your readers are enjoying your work! [Happy]

The protagonist is portrayed as a complete simp; they've watched too many idol dramas.

Zhongyan, having finished reading "The Legend of Shennong Through My Desire" and "The Longevity of the Loulan Queen," expresses his support.

Hey bro, hey bro...

The structure is indeed starting to get more complex!

I've read a few chapters! It's great!

Great! 👍👍👍👍👍
