Review Detail of Gourmet_DAO in Crocodile Tears
Review detail
I have only read 3 chapters so far, but the quality of writing and the content itself is immediately evident. I read before this translated Chinese novels of the 17-18 centuries. In particular, about foxes, Taoists, Confucian scholars, Buddhist monks. Historical information about the empires of Tang, Ming, Qing. In that purely technical stumbling over historical works on the Silk Road, China played an important role in trade. What you write is like the writing style I read. I liked him. The novel describes the life of that time, prejudice, the importance of the opinion of the crowd. The inner world of the characters, their characters, aspirations are well spelled out. For me, your novel is an example of how to write stories. Prior to this, I wrote only historical, documentary and purely technical papers. And here you have an interesting presentation of life, the world, and what the characters think. I have included your book in the library, now I will read slowly. In my non-professional opinion, there is still not enough - a description of the clothes of the era of the Sui empire and it is possible if the text contains food, it would be nice to talk about those dishes that were then. In that era, probably, fruits - vegetables and fruits were of different varieties, with a different taste, texture. Not to mention the yield, it was less, but the taste was more original. It may be less sweet, but brighter. Only this, it occurred to me. I admire your romance; it is sophisticated and unique. So far I have never met such novels on Webnovel! With appreciation

Thank you so much for taking the time to read! I think my aim for this story isn't much of a romance story but rather an overview over this dynasty. There's a lot of prejudice over the Sui dynasty and its fell, in particular Sui Yangi's rule, and this novel was my way of putting it into context in terms of the societal beliefs of that time. I tried to research into the food, clothing, city plans, and works (poetry) of that time, but most of those in terms of actual technicality was pretty hard because of the limited records. ;-; I just wanted to say thank you so much for including this story in your library! I hope it doesn't disappoint.
This is an interesting historical approach. Some of the data can probably be found in scientific studies of this era. It’s a pity you can’t go to museums 9 because of Covid-19) but sometimes you can find interesting information about history, clothes, weapons and sometimes food! In Japan, a good museum of the Silk Road (exposition) in the Museum of the city of Nara. And also at the Silk Road Research Institute in Japan and China.

It's super interesting that the reason why I started writing this story was that the tomb of Sui Yangdi (the ML of this story) was discovered around my grandparent's city. So I had visited the exhibition when it was open to the public and tried to parallel some of the artifacts to the story. Most of the set was drawn from murals, but since there's a lot more of them from Early Tang than Sui, I've been just assuming a lot of the premises of early Tang instead ;-; I'll definitely look into some virtual museum tours tho!!!
