So, for the most part, I will be giving this series a 3.5/5 or 4 if we round it off. Why not 5? Yeah. Why not. To be honest, I found myself lurking the borders of this novel due to boredom and I still waiting for more updates to pile up in LMW, FOD, True Star, quickly wear the face of the devil, and many more. I find myself here because, hey! The comment section said it was great! Why not try it right?Right.I did not regret it, but I really am not that ecstatic in finding this one, unlike when I discovered Face of the Devil. Plot wise, it was good. You get to know more a lot about how people and the society work in an ancient China civilization. The political aspects was really nice and I get to learn about awesome qoutes and sayings from famous people.Downside, the MC IS A PIECE OF CRAP. He is too naive, like seriously? You get kidnapped a lot of times and still thinks that the world is black and white? I feel sorry for Rong Tian (the ML) for becoming a babysitter to such a troublesome person. I mean, yeah, he might look cute when he act childish or something, but man, it's a real, nasty situation you got there and you still see the good side of the people WHO BY THE WAY have betrayed you for like countless of times. (I'm not saying I'm against optimistic people, but there is a limit between optimism and s*upidity). There were a lot of times I just want to get inside the novel and slap him for his s*upidity and naivety (although this could be attributed to I reading a lot of novels with really cool and mature MC's and getting used to it. This has somehow influenced my opinion regarding the MC, but still, he is a piece of work and although he is smart AND beautiful, this does not excuse him for being so childish ALL THE TIME) Bright side: The Romance and the Political aspects. Yeah. You got it right. As much as I hate the MC's constant naivety and childish attitudes, I get to say thumbs up for his dedication and loyalty towards his lover. Same goes for the ML. Spoiler
seeing how the MC get kidnapped like a bazillion times, you can't help but admire this guy who'll risk everything just to save his lover. Definitely husband material
[collapse]Aside from that, being a connoisseur of politics, I really fell in love with how politics was played in this era. I get to enjoy the look of surprise and ecstasy to these ancient people upon only hearing solutions that are considered now as a simple commodity but were highly prized back then. The thing though that I'm most confused is, how can the MC not introduce the idea of indoor plumbing or plumbing im general, to these people? Doing your business in a chamber pot is not comfortable if I'm mistaken, so how can he neglect this idea? I'm seriously offended with this one. HAHAHAAnyway, in total, it was a good read seeing that I'm on volume 16 already proves that it somehow caught my interest. So, if you wanted to have a good read and has the capability to not mind annoying and childish main characters, then you are very welcome to read this.
