I'm a Prince Who Transmigrated, and Now I'm Going to Save the Nation

The story is complete!

Let me state upfront that I have no complaints about this book or its author; the following are purely my personal thoughts. [I'm currently reading about Feng Tao's second return to another world] Good: The protagonist's gradual rise to power and his relationships with those around him are very immersive, and the author's extensive knowledge makes the book feel real. Several foreshadowing elements are also brilliant; I was thrilled while reading, and I often wrote "Tiger Pavilion King—Feng Tao" in my notebook. I love this book. Uncertain: What kind of character does the author intend to portray Feng Tao as? Is he a shy, cutesy cross-dresser, with his male gender merely used as a pretext for being with women...?

The recent chapters have been quite good. The use of extensive descriptions of the opposing side to indirectly reveal the entire event (i. E., Not from the protagonist's perspective) is a technique frequently used in Overlord, but I'm more impressed with this book, mainly due to the depth of its themes. I don't know if the author truly intended such a profound message, but I believe that writing about war in a realistic novel always involves expressing some social and humanistic message. Especially in cases of international conflict, I hope readers won't approach the recent updates with an anti-Japanese sentiment (though I doubt many otaku have a strong anti-Japanese complex anyway)...

First of all, I give it a perfect score... Although I've only read a short portion, I must say it's excellent, very good, outstanding... The author's writing is superb, the plot is full of twists and turns, intricate and captivating, truly a masterpiece... The characters are vividly portrayed, lifelike, and exquisitely crafted... The content is rich and varied, concise and to the point, making it irresistible and leaving me in awe... This book presents clear viewpoints, draws on numerous sources, is groundbreaking, and unique... It's a book you can read again and again, leaving a lasting impression, deeply moving, and captivating—truly a classic...

Serve well, and the prince will reward you.

After reading three volumes, I think the theme is good and innovative, which I like. However, reading through the first three volumes was really painful. In a world without martial arts or magic, a tiny goddess and a super-strong Shen Shixia appear, along with an incredibly resilient protagonist—it's so jarring! This is a novel, not an anime. If you put Xiao Yan into Yang Guo's story, would Jin Yong still be able to write it? Secondly, author, you've written it so realistically. The protagonist's helplessness in the face of the queen, the fact that he's also ambushed, and the fact that a guy likes him—I won't even comment on that. Thirdly, I didn't see any truly satisfying moments in the first three volumes, or rather, the satisfying moments were scarce...

Well, to put it simply, the male protagonist being forcibly kissed by another man was extremely damaging to me. Therefore, readers who absolutely cannot accept this kind of plot should prepare themselves mentally before reading. I initially thought the earlier parts of the story were quite good and enjoyed them, but this sudden cliché... My emotional tolerance isn't strong enough to handle it, and I couldn't continue reading. It's not that I thought the scene was bad, it's just that I was too expecting what I wanted to see, like a harem or lighthearted scenes. The book is definitely a good one, and I'm not against or criticizing this kind of plot; it's just that my calm inner world couldn't handle this kind of massive wave...

I've been reading this for a while now, and today I happened to see the scene where Liu Guangxun's family was beheaded. I felt a lot of inexplicable unease. On one hand, the author's writing is truly excellent; the whole family's reactions to eating hot pot are all portrayed. The scene where Liu Guangxun throws the bowl is arguably the most dramatic and visually compelling I've ever seen in a light novel. On the other hand, the author's grasp of the characters' inner emotions is spot-on; at least so far, none of the characters' growth has felt strange. Feng Tao, as the protagonist, is a three-dimensional, soulful character. He reminds me of Bai Ling from *White Deer Plain*—a pure and innocent child...

It must be said that this book is a very good novel in terms of quality. If viewed purely from the perspective of a light novel, it is undoubtedly a masterpiece. I read the first five volumes, and the protagonist's growth from a force of only three thousand people to his current state, from weakness to daring to kill, is all very reasonable. Moreover, the descriptions of the war show that the author's setting is very comprehensive. However, I personally feel there are some flaws. I feel that the time capsule is a bad idea, and the enemy is too brainless, which is a common problem in many novels. Also, historical research is very serious, and it doesn't quite fit with the light novel style (please don't criticize this; those who don't like it can ignore it). Overall...

I won't go into the praise, as it's already been covered in other reviews (actually, I just prefer writing critical pieces). One thing I personally dislike is that Feng Tao is too masculine in many ways. Only in a few chapters does he come across as endearing with his cleverness and awkward actions. But perhaps the author didn't realize that Feng Tao often acts too manly, or rather, too tough. I still really like the book, but I wish it showed more of Feng Tao's "cross-dressing" identity, like occasionally joking about being "Feng Ying's mother," or in front of his harem...
