Great combination of historical series with comedic elements

Decent summary of the plot in the review below, but its important to note the historical context. Acupuncture ('needle torture' as described by the MC and below review) was a common and widespread treatment for many ailments in the Ming period. Plus it fits in well with the gag comedy elements of the series, which yes are rather lowbrow, but very funny nonetheless (also a great array of meme-faces in this series).

Additionally there is substantial inclusion of real historical events that gives the series a good historical ambience, though some aspects of the MC's extremely detailed knowledge of Ming history do stretch credulity (one instance is when he's able to recall the annual treasury revenue figures for the Ming empire from memory).

If you can suspend disbelief, this is a very good historical ambience series with great gag-comedy elements (if somewhat lowbrow).

The only drawback is the very slow English translations, which are only up to chapter 55 (despite raws up to ch256 with no new release in the last 7 months. Hoping a new group can pick this series up and give it the attention it deserves.

Not my thing

A guy gets transmigrated (?) to the body of a lowlife in the Ming dynasty. He knows a lot of history and random stuff so he's able to take advantage of this knowledge to carve his path through history... or maybe not. The premise of the story is that if he acts like a normal person his household thinks he's mentally ill so he's tortured having needles inserted into his brain by a quack doctor, thus he needs to acts like a ass from time to time and everyone is happy, till he acts smart again, and again they threaten him with torture. To make matters worse, it soon is not only his household that buys into this "mentally ill" BS but those in the palace too, even after the MC has shown abilities that are superior to all the brilliant mind of the era combined, they will say illness this and illness that for whatever BS reason.
You might think this is stupid, and make no sense and you would be right, this is the kind of manhua that thrives in the nonsensical humor, expect things to go into dumb or unexpected directions because the author thinks it's funny, expect people to call the MC impaired after proving the erudites wrong because, why not and expect the MC to act smart one moment and like a complete idiot the next with the excuse of "playing the part".
If you are into that kind of comedy, then by all means go ahead, several people seemed to find it funny in the comments after all.
For me it's a waste of a decent story since if it wasn't because of all the forced nonsense, it's interesting. The comedy just ruins it for me.
