After the An-Shi Rebellion, the land of China declined from its former glory and entered the late Tang era. The emperor indulged in pleasure and sold official posts to the highest bidder. Regional military governors amassed troops and defied the central government. Great clans bullied and oppressed the people, and their exploitation grew ever harsher, leaving the people destitute. Foreign powers coveted China's splendid realm and began stirring restlessly.
By a twist of fate, the soul of a modern man with a background in science and engineering merged with the soul of Huang Chao, who had been defeated in battle and returned to his home in Shandong to take his own life. He went back several decades, to the night young Huang Chao first arrived in Chang'an to sit the imperial examinations...
In his youth, he had seen the autumn moon over Chang'an and witnessed the capital's prosperity. He had also seen the darkness of the age. Returning to his home in Shandong, he took over the family business, opened up new trade routes, and amassed enough capital to change the world. Then he embarked on a path to restore Huaxia to its place at the summit of the world...
I just read a few chapters by the author, and it seems that the author is very knowledgeable about history. I admire that (because history is the subject of my dislike, *facepalm*). However, since the author did not explain why he asked me to write this comment, I will address it from both perspectives. Let's first talk about the full attendance contract. First, according to the conventions of online novels, the opening of DaDa's novel is too bland, with no development of conflicts in the relationships between the characters. Second: DaDa's works do not conform to the market due to their genre. After all, this is the world of online novels. Strictly speaking, DaDa's works belong to historical novels. These two reasons alone may prevent him from getting a contract. Next, let's talk about personal interests. Since the author's work is historical fiction, it's clear that he has a deep love for history and has written about many things from that period. That alone is enough. Ultimately, it's my own interest, and the most important thing is that I can express the feelings I want to convey in my writing. Besides, this is my debut work, so as long as I write what I want to write, that's enough. Therefore, I suggest that since the author has already written enough words, you should try applying for a contract through the backend. If you fail, you can sign a one-click contract directly. At least having some channels is worse than trying to sign on your own. Keep it up, author! This book is quite good, and you're very talented in history. Most importantly, keep at it, especially since you really enjoy it. Who knows, you might even become a hit after writing several million words! Keep it up!
Book review
I've said it so many times: newcomers shouldn't write prologues. I don't want to go into the reasons again; I'm tired of explaining them. As for the novel itself, the author's writing style is typical of someone who studied in high school, with a strong flavor of college entrance exam essays, full of parallel structures and poetry. He saw it, he saw it again, he saw it again... In this state, in this state... That's exactly what I wrote when I was in high school and wrote my college entrance exam essay. But this wasn't a college entrance exam essay; it was a novel! The protagonist transmigrates, something that could be explained in 500 words, but you've stretched it out into a prologue and an entire chapter. I'm speechless. Readers pay for the content, not for your writing style. Besides, what you're doing isn't even writing style; it's just a pile of fancy words. Any high school student could write something like this. If you're just writing for fun and don't care about results, write whatever you want. But since you've come to me for book reviews, it means you want results, you want...
