Its a okay book. Its really mid. its a okay casual read. 3/5 because its not that annoying. obviously harem fantasy but itd not terrible.

I mean its a harem book. the author didn't care about anything else. but its basically a rush to the finish as soon as it started. author didn't take time to develop anything the character the world or even the harem. most of the romances just happen without much of anything really. you can skim it in few hours if you have the time. no need to put any time in it.

Its a fun and good read. Historical fiction based on a Chinese classic novel i didn't know but has good complex characters and political and military intrigue. The protagonist is a little genocidal when it comes to military campaigns and harsh and strict sometime but most of the time he maintains gentle behavior and relations with relatives. Its based on a great book so it showcases a lot of Imperial Chinese noble family situations both the luxury and the immorality and complex financial and political situation that they had to navigate to maintain their standard of life. Its a harem novel but the girls are smart and capable. The romance is also gentle and caring. With attention paid to emotions of women according to historical circumstances. And lastly its a fun read, it's not a comedy but its filled with funny situation and anecdotes. The novel is lighthearted, the source novel brings a classic work of literature this webnovel really stand on a grand foundation of setting and characters, its hard not to start caring about the central family of Jia while reading it. Most say the source novel Dream of the red chamber is the memorial to the women of the household of the original author and its hard not to start feeling pity for their original fate and celebrate the protagonist changing their fate.
