The book is well-written; as a ten-year veteran reader, I found it enjoyable. It captures the glamorous affairs of the entertainment industry with a certain flair, and the songs are quite good. Just be careful not to pair Sai La with Ning Hao; it feels like a cuckolding situation.
If it were 2000, it's unlikely that petty thugs would openly harass women on buses, something no one would dare to do. Back then, even if a thief or a hooligan was injured, the police station wouldn't side with the criminals, so there were quite a few people willing to stand up for what's right.
Having read over seventy chapters, the author's writing is excellent, and the plot and characters have no major flaws. It's not one of those fast-paced, action-packed novels. A well-written novel like this can be as good as a literary masterpiece like *1983*, but a poorly written one can be bland and lack appeal.
Another low-scoring (7.2) Gem! I love this kind of slow-paced, meticulously detailed book. The only downside is that I only read one chapter describing the tax payment scene, and that was it! 🍉
I came to read this book because of its title: "The Fat Man" 🤦🤦
Three thoughts: First, the first few dozen chapters were really difficult to read. The campus life was poorly written and hard to get through. The descriptions were a bit stiff. Second, after reading a few dozen chapters, it became much smoother. It was quite enjoyable, I stayed up all night reading it, and there were many climaxes.
This book is quite well-written. The author's writing style is good, and it's obvious that the author came from that era, as many aspects are quite realistic. It felt a bit bland at first, but it gradually became more and more exciting. Watching the protagonist slowly transform from an ordinary person into something extraordinary was actually quite enjoyable.
It's pretty good, quite innovative, and the angle is unique.
The pacing is good, making for a comfortable read. The author's writing style is also quite good, with excellent descriptions of scenes and emotions. Furthermore, the author seems to have a knack for handling content that might not pass censorship. 🥰 The protagonist is affectionate but not a jerk, and his personality is very relatable to people from the lower classes.
It's well-written; even I, a bookworm of twenty years, found it engaging.
