This novel is very well written; it's basically the culmination of the online "ghost book" style of Redology. However, I still want to mention that readers should just enjoy this novel as entertainment and not take it too seriously to analyze or show off. It's perfectly normal to have a thought or comment about a particular scene and wonder, "Can this even be analyzed in this way?"
The author wrote a fantastic poem; I'll write one too. Alone I lean against the quiet window, gazing intently at the scrolls of history. A long dream of the Red Chamber, the fragrance of ink lingers among ghosts and heroes. The tears of the Crimson Pearl Fairy Herb foreshadowed the seeds of love already sown. The Ghostly Grand View Garden, where the Stone Obsessed laments to the heavens.
I was completely bewildered when I read *Dream of the Red Chamber* in junior high. I read it a second time in high school and still felt lost. By my senior year of high school and through university, I had read it a third time. As a science student, I could easily explain it in plain language: *Dream of the Red Chamber* is a classic novel that encapsulates the social imagination of an era.
Wow, after reading so many supernatural novels by Tomato, this is the first one that gave me goosebumps and chills down my spine. I recommend reading it during the day! I only read Dream of the Red Chamber in high school, and I never thought it could be interpreted in this way. The part about whether the male protagonist is a human or a ghost would be even more interesting if the system part wasn't added. Leaving the suspense makes people think more wildly.
It's quite good, the writing is smooth, and the ideas are unique. When I got to the part about Miaoyu, the ending line, "Ghosts can only be summoned by ghosts," gave me a jolt. It seems the male lead is very likely already dead, but his dying obsession is causing his spirit to control his original body during the live stream.
A solid ten-star review! The author is able to make the story coherent and demonstrates profound skill. I used to only know that Dream of the Red Chamber was a ghost story, that it was Cao Xueqin's way of mourning his family who were killed by Emperor Yongzheng, and that The Story of the Stone was about visiting graves. But I don't know why, but now I do!
The analysis is quite convincing. Cao Xueqin is like a master of Liaozhai, a kind of sage. On the surface, Dream of the Red Chamber is about the corruption and extravagance of officials, but on the other hand, it is about the self-redemption of ghosts.
I've read so many books, but this one is a rare gem. It was so captivating that I read the latest chapter in one go and will definitely keep reading. Keep up the good work, author! 👍👍
Help! This book is terrifying! [Shocked][Shocked][Shocked] The author has logically deduced that everyone in *Dream of the Red Chamber* is a ghost. I have to open the window to read it even during the day, it's so scary! 🤦🤦🤦
From *Dream of the Red Chamber* to *Classic of Mountains and Seas*, the author presents readers with a completely new fantasy world through his fresh interpretations. Whether readers believe him or think he's making things up—after all, a thousand readers will have a thousand Hamlets, and each reader has their own understanding of *Dream of the Red Chamber*—the author maintains a logical chain…
