Looking for Masterpieces, but Not Anything on the Recommendation Rankings
Don't recommend anything where the protagonist's surname is Ye or Ling, where the protagonist has a cute little sister, or where the protagonist is a bleeding-heart do-gooder. In short, no stupid novels. The darker and more ruthless, the better! Kill, kill, kill!!!

The AI-Writing Army Is Coming: Do Ordinary Writers Still Have a Chance?
Recently, a huge wave of AI writers has flooded Fanfan. It's hard to tell whether these AI-written stories are real, and their quality is all over the place. Ordinary writers keep losing their share of the remaining traffic in this flood. What are we supposed to do?
Working and Making It Big in the 1980S and 1990S

The descriptions of traffic jams, illegal shops, sleeping on the streets, and recruiting workers at the umbrella factory are very realistic. I have experienced all of these.
I went to Dongguan in 1999 and felt the same way. The descriptions in the book are very real.
This book truly tells the story of that era and brings us to that rich and colorful era. I hope it won't end unfinished. '
This book describes the sadness of those born in the 1980s who went out to work. It is quite good. I really enjoyed reading it. I hope it can be updated with more pages.
Although it is a novel, many of the stories are true portrayals of rural children who first arrived in Guangdong in the 1990s.
Come on, come on, come on, the author is great, but the updates are a bit slow.
The content is substantial, lifelike, and the story makes people relate to it.
The plot is vivid and very interesting
Support the author, keep writing, and strive to finish it as soon as possible. Today I looked at your ratings, reviews, and comments. They are all very low, but the ones I am reading are pitifully low. The ratings and reviews of similar books are lower than yours. You are still reading tens of thousands of books. Please make the story more exciting! This book took off sooner or later, and is comparable to "The Ordinary World". It is the true face of the land reform period, and "Dongguan Years" is the true portrayal of the period when people went south to work during the reform and opening up. This book should win the Mao Dun Literature Award. Support the author, personal opinions, please don't criticize!
Beautiful and very real! He wrote about the life of that generation, good luck to the author!
