So far so good. I feel like with this, the 'history' lesson can be read in a fun way hence I am not getting sleepy. I am intrigued and the story getting very interesting. Look forward to see more updates soon. Hope there will be some wuxia actions later on beside the romance story hahaha.
Honestly, I'm surprised that there hasn't been like a 300 chapter story that tells the exact same thing. Warning: My rating may be slightly inflated since I am a fan of more historical-based stories that actually emphasize the history part. This isn't a review swap but genuinely some things I wanted to express after reading.
Writing Quality: There are issues with grammar at some points, but I read that the author isn't a native English speaker, so I would say the actual quality is amazing. There was one chapter where a sentence wasn't capitalized and another where it said "she was panicked" I think, but honestly, none of it stood out too much to the point that I wanted to comment on it. As for the actual writing style itself, the author has a way of writing that is reminscent of actual historical texts with the sparsity but still powerful ways of conveying emotion. It reminds me of the way Chinese poems are: few words but manages to pack a super long story or message.
Stability of Updates: Uhhh way better than me LOL so I very much so aspire to become as such
Story Development: A bit jumpy at some points, but I think it actually reads better for this period considering the way history was recorded at intervals of years. That being said, their romance was cute but didn't resonate tooooo much with me (I actually read this for the history sorry kekekekek)
Character Design: I actually really like the portrayal of the Yue girl and the contrast it holds with the court.
World Background: Think I've been alluding to this enough already ^-^
Great quality content. It's amazing how the author could connect both historical context and fiction, creating a unique story in this genre. I wouldn't be surprised if this novel will get adopted to a tv show drama one day. π
Unusual, but interesting stories. I hope the author will continue to update this novel. The last chapter was a few months ago though. But I found out that this novel could be read separately, therefore I don't mind taking too long to finish book 3. So far the first two books are good enough for my personal liking.
The first two books are female leads, on the third book is a male lead. Now I'm curious how the author gonna connect all these three leads in the whole story. So far so good! I like the character design and world background.
A very interesting book. So far I could only see female leads, although this book doesn't really specify it's a FL novel. The characters building in book 2 is really awesome. I see character growth. Hope to see part-3 soon!
Love it! I could not wait to see more adventure of Yue Maiden and Ying. Ying grows up to be a mature character. I like the way the author develop her character.
The first book is a bit fast pace, while the second book is more details. I love the character development of this Ying. No outstanding male lead so far. And apparently the author does not want to elaborate romance in this novel! Which is a plus point for some people :D
I am not an English native speaker, therefore I have no comment on the writing quality (grammar, etc.) but as long as I can understand, I have no problem with it.
The story development, character design, and world background are awesome. I could tell the author is doing serious research on his/her writing.
I hope the author will elaborate more on the male characters. There are too many female leads anyway...I want to see more male leads instead of female leads.
Dear Author,
Wow!!! What I should say? To be honest, I don't like history books, I don't like history at all (the only thing I really enjoyed learning history was antiquity ;)) but I have to admit I read your story with pleasure. I love the author's notes that give some idea about the background. Well done!
Stunning work!
It's amazing how author could thin about this kind of plot. Plus points to the explanations given in the authors notes that are quite a leaning experience. I hope you won't drop this as it has a lot of potential.
The second book is really engrossing with the perfect balance between the historical and the fiction part. The pace is also decent and not too draggy. I am bored with too many submissive FC with Cinderella Complex. This novel provides a Wonder Woman type of FC. Something kinda fresh for me here.
Writing quality: easy to comprehend.
Stability of Updates: once, twice a week. Not bad!
Story development: The first book is a bit too jumpy. The second one is pretty good. Not draggy, but not jumpy. The authors emphasize more on the history part instead of the romance part.
Character design: Yue Maiden's character is a bit too flat and not too many descriptions about her. Ying's part is well written. The author implies her characters not through a description; but through her childhood story. She had a tough problematic life with her mother that shaped her characters.
World Background: the author has her own way in describing the background. Yue Maiden who lived in a stilt house, the slavery that was common in that era; girls who were sold to brothels or as slaves; etc. Not too descriptive, but informative enough.
This work has caught my attention since the very beginning i joined webnovel. I like the creative and unique story plot which makes me turn pages on and on.
In the first few chapters there were some grammatical or typo errors. Also the pace was a bit too fast for a historical romance. In the second book the writing quality improves a lot. The story pace is much better. not too fast not too slow. Characters development is pretty much described in detail. I think this novel is pretty entertaining and educating for someone like me who only likes the wuxia elements but has no idea about history. The historical setting is interesting. I have to say the wuxia element is not much compared to the historical part. Can not complain since this novel is classified as historical fiction rather than wuxia.
I like the story and the characters
πππππππππππππππππππππ ππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππ
Strong female leads with gorgeous male scholars. Interesting story plot. The pace is not too slow but not too fast. my cup of tea πππππππ
This is so well written! Like, really!!
I like how you mix history and fiction in your story, it's amazing. Your book made history less boring, more fun!!
I need to learn a few things from you to write better! Haha.
Wonderful book. Your style to romanticize the historical events is really wonderful. I loved the way you are writing this story. You have very well described the environment settings and the characters. Even the reactions and their conversation is really worth appreciating. Keep up the good work dear author.. Totally recommended....:) :) :) :) :)
Curious.
Quite the world the author has created. The writing style's not my cup of tea, but it's still solid. Some grammar hiccups with tenses and punctuations; not really too much of a detriment. Prose and dialogue flows naturally, which is also a plus.
Keep on writingπ
This is a historically based story that grasps your attention from the very beginning. The pace is decent and the author has taken time to build the characters and the world background. I would have loved it if our history lessons were also as good and entertaining as this story. A few grammatical errors but it doesn't impact the story, especially since the author's native language isn't English. Overall it's a good work...
This novel is very interesting, and I already love to read it until the latest chapter. Recommended to read and I looking forward for more chapters β€οΈβ€οΈπ
AMAZING content. It's unparallel how the author could connect both historical context and fiction, creating a unique story in this genre. I wouldn't be surprised if this novel will get adopted to a tv show drama one day. Have always loved this kind of content! Can't stop reading!!π
The story is really captivating because incites curiosity with its mysterious plot which makes the story really interesting and exciting at the same time... more update please ;)
First book about Ejun and second book is about King Goujian. The title and cover of this book is somehow not too appealing. But I guess that is why they say : Don't judge the book by its cover. This story is suitable for guys - not too details in the romance part; and focus more on the historical part. I recommend this book to those who love historical fiction.
I am glad to see another historical story. This is what I like. The story itself is very fascinating, easy to read. The characters are interesting, multifaceted. The psychological aspect, the experiences of the character are shown very realistically!
I have included this book in my library. I will read it slowly!
1 power stone to advance!
Many thanks to the author for the opportunity to read such an interesting story! It's great!
Intriguing story we've got here. This book tells some history in a way that you will never be bored, hahaha. So In a way, this book could be treated as an Edutainment, hahahaha. Anyways, the romance in here is not really cringe and It's easy to dive in even if you're not really a fan of romance. Keep up the good work
I read this novel because of the interesting titles. Never have thought that the second book has a more interesting title. I just googled Goujian. Just know that he is famous! I think I will learn a lot from this novel :)
