It's been half a month since I sent out the books. I'm asking for readers' follow-up comments, and also want to talk about this book.
First of all, it's important to follow-up on a new book. Hey hehe, following up on a new book is crucial. I know some big shots might look at the word count and say "Oh, not many words, I'll check it later." But Little Dot is currently eager to follow-up on this book.
Thank you, dear creators, for your youth, wealth, talent, and beauty!
Secondly, regarding the content of this book, while I was writing, I often considered it from the perspective of the character's identity and environment. That is, what would they do in their roles and under their circumstances? I tried to make it as logically consistent as possible.
For example, if the protagonist is from the future, Shi Huang will definitely keep an eye on him and will not let him act freely. As for the protagonist knowing many things from the future, Shi Huang will definitely ask him frequently, and the protagonist cannot refuse to answer.
The protagonist has directly transported to Shi Huang's presence, and his origin has already been revealed. Therefore, some things that the protagonist can do in other historical time-traveling novels may not necessarily work for him.
The changes the protagonist brings to the Qin Dynasty do not happen overnight; it depends on whether Shi Huang is willing. Shi Huang is the leader of the Qin Dynasty, and in the author's opinion, Shi Huang's consent would manifest from thoughts to actions.
For example, to persuade Shi Huang that the state of the Qin Dynasty has been poorly governed by the Legalists, the protagonist would have to first make Shi Huang recognize that things are not working well and why they need to change. This requires a change in thinking before it becomes action.
To put it bluntly, to change the Qin Dynasty, Shi Huang's change of mind is crucial. Therefore, there will be a lot of dialogues between the protagonist and Shi Huang later on.
This transformation is not something where the protagonist just says it and Shi Huang immediately believes it. Shi Huang has his own judgment, and the protagonist will need to do certain things to deepen Shi Huang's trust.
Some of you may not like these contents, wanting to see the protagonist's face-saving and showing off in the Qin Dynasty. However, these are important parts in the outline of this book.
Additionally, the protagonist will not do some things that the main characters of other historical time-traveling novels might do, such as leading armies to battle or engaging in political intrigue with high-ranking officials at court. He might provide some methods from the future for military training at most, but I'm sorry to disappoint those who are looking forward to these elements.
There are some things that the protagonist will not do, and Shi Huang will not allow him to do them either, because I believe that once a king recognizes the value of the protagonist, a normal king would not let him take risks, whether it's the protagonist himself risking his own safety or others creating dangerous situations for him.
That's also the drawback of time-traveling to a king's presence, which is different from other time-traveling stories where the protagonist does not reveal their origin.
The protagonist is set as someone who values his own life, mainly providing advice, strategizing, and pointing out mistakes for Shi Huang, assisting him in designing the development of the Qin Dynasty. The book's title is "Designing the Qin Dynasty," with the protagonist serving as the contractor and Shi Huang as the father figure. The protagonist will provide design suggestions, but whether they are considered or not depends on Shi Huang.
Lastly, I am just an enthusiast of history, and the content of the book is merely my personal opinions. There are definitely flaws and shortcomings, so I welcome everyone's criticisms. I will make corrections where possible. And here's a request, no cursing or misleading other readers (is that two requests actually?).
Too much writing, making it slow. It's better to update it. Let readers waste their time reading so much unnecessary stuff from me. I really apologize, but I can't help but say it! Sorry, sorry!
I shamelessly ask for more readers' follow-up comments again. Thank you, thank you!
