See allI'm a Veteran Reader, and My Reading List Is Running Dry
I don't want stories with cringeworthy plots. I like urban stories, transmigration, System, quick transmigration, male protagonists, villains, behind-the-scenes masterminds, lords, showbiz, rebirth, urban fantasy, history, games and anime, protagonists transmigrating into animals and getting livestreamed, and livestreaming.

The Republican Era: A Peking Opera No. 6, written by Nangong Long, who sings opera and kills Kossilos. I came in because of the Peking Opera elements, which are a plus. However, the rest of the plot is too formulaic and outdated. Even with the Peking Opera bonus, it's not enjoyable.
The writing is solid, the language is beautiful, the plot is vivid and engaging, and the characters are full of life and spirit. It is not rigid or stiff, but rather gives the reader a sense of immersion. In particular, the detailed descriptions of Peking Opera allow readers to better understand this national treasure.
There aren't many books on Peking Opera seriously online, and this one is at least decent so far. However, it focuses a bit too much on the specific details of the opera itself. I suggest cutting some out. Instead, select a few classic scenes or those highlighting the main character's traits and emphasize them, while glossing over the rest to avoid redundancy.
The subject matter is quite novel, but I have a slight personal opinion: it would be better if the opera scenes were reduced and more battle scenes were added. We shouldn't forget the national treasures and classics, but online novels can't be without their flaws. The descriptions of battle scenes are getting shorter and shorter, leaving me wanting more.
When the play had gone on for eleven chapters and then a Japanese ninja (genin) with X-ray vision appeared, I knew it was time for me to leave.
It's not bad, but the main character is a bit inexperienced. You can see him gradually grow. Strictly speaking, this is a Peking Opera story. I read over a hundred chapters, but I couldn't bear to read the later Peking Opera scenes. For the past few days, it's all been about a single Peking Opera performance... Those interested in Peking Opera should enjoy it.
In the last few dozen chapters, I found a small amount of the main novel text amidst a large amount of opera and musical excerpts 😂 The author is completely immersed in writing and having a blast, utterly disregarding ratings and viewership!
This kind of subject matter is great; it shows both Chi Ling's profound patriotism and the individual's sense of national responsibility and love for their country. Such patriotism is truly admirable! I enjoy watching it; does anything else matter? Keep it up! More things to pass on…
I genuinely believe that plays can be written, but too many of them focus on the plot of killing bandits.
I'm wondering if the author researched online or has some knowledge of Peking Opera. I'm also a Peking Opera enthusiast myself, and this is quite good, promoting national culture. However, some terms are incorrect; perhaps I'm just ignorant. "Kunsheng" (referring to female actors playing male roles) is correct. I know "Qiandan," but Hu Bilan in the story is a woman. "Qiandan" refers to male actors playing female roles! 🤭🤭🤭
