I Clearly Wanted to Be a Foolish Emperor, How Did I Become an Eternal Emperor?

Description

Transported into the role of the Emperor of the Great Zhou, as long as he ruins the national fortune, rewards are given, and he could even ascend to immortality. Being a wise ruler is too hard, but being a foolish emperor should be easy, right?

Thus, Li Tian promotes eunuchs, establishes the Western Bureau to oversee the officials, cancels morning court sessions, lets the empress review memorials and meddles in politics, and relies on powerful in-laws to control the government, allowing the military power to weaken…

But…

“Your Majesty, the Western Court has captured hundreds of corrupt officials, and now the court is clear, with harmony among the people!”

“Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has collected one hundred million taels of silver in taxes, and the people live in peace and prosperity!”

“Your Majesty, the general has destroyed seventeen countries, and the territory of Great Zhou has expanded threefold. Numerous small states have sent envoys to pay tribute to Your Majesty…”

I don't understand why this is rated so low.

It's a typical male power fantasy with everything going right for the protagonist despite him not lifting a finger, but it's entertaining enough, with plenty of wise ministers and aides as side characters and a refreshingly small imperial harem. Most importantly, the translation is good.

It may not be the deepest story around, but it's a pretty fun read.

This should be 5 stars. Very good writing, complex logic, internal and external political machinations.

The problem is the system.

It rewards the emperor, if he does something which the system deems as bad for the empire.

... more>> The story IS funny, but it is easy to hate a protagonist who ab*ses his job for personal gain.

Imagine a doctor would get a system which rewards him for every dead patient. Or a shepherd is rewarded for each dead sheep.

It is an interesting idea, but not fun to read. Because you know it is wrong. Because you feel it is wrong.

Perhaps you smile when the plot of the protagonist backfires, but you despise him.

Well written, but I have too many bad feelings when reading this.

If you like to be happy, don't read this! <<less
