Transcribing Famous Works with Taste
I'm looking for novels by a literary copycat, set in ancient times, the Republican era, or modern times. The lead can be male or female. I'd like something with a bit more taste. I'm tired of stories where they just write pop songs or shoot commercial films, or come up with some lines like, “One petal, two petals, three or four petals.” Are you telling me Han Yu, Su Shi, Du Fu, and Lu Xun never existed?

Culture Copying! No Romance! No Brain-Dead Characters! No Showing Off!
I don’t care whether it’s another world or a parallel world, whether the protagonist transmigrates or is reborn, whether the lead is male or female, or whether they plagiarize stories or create their own! I just want an urban slice-of-life novel where nobody acts smug and stupid, something low-key without all those cookie-cutter villains. That’s it~

Dear Author: I hope the author will focus on the career storyline and use the romance as a secondary plot. Please consider the female lead's role carefully (this is not intended as guidance). Based on the content presented in the first 83 chapters, the female lead's appearance feels too deliberate. The core focus is on "career" → "braised pork" and "twice-cooked pork".
Wow, this is a great story! How will the protagonist resolve his psychological issues? Will the female lead heal him, or will he be forced to reveal his true identity as a shock? I feel this needs careful handling, otherwise it might easily go astray. So far, I think it's quite good and I really like it. Keep it up! 😊
It's a great read, featuring a rare type of male protagonist in male-oriented novels. The author has done a fantastic job of developing the male lead, seamlessly blending the satisfying plot with the character's transformation and emotional arc, making it very appealing to female readers (though perhaps a bit older; those younger than high school students might not enjoy it).
It's a beautiful book; it portrays life and emotions very delicately, and it warms my heart while reading it 💕. (Will adding a female lead ruin the book? 🥺 Seeing a female lead makes my heart sink; I hope adding one doesn't ruin the story!) Ah… I saw the library scene. Hmm… I previously felt that the relationship between Yun Jianyue and the male lead was… like a junior and an elder? …
The book is rich in cultural depth, with profound and powerful writing. The characters are vividly portrayed, clearly showing the protagonist's growth and emotional journey. This growth is logical and natural, unfolding seamlessly with the plot. The plot itself is also very logical, skillfully weaving in clues and subtly building connections, creating a cohesive whole.
I've been reading paper novels since elementary school, and then e-books since high school—it's been about 10 years now. From initially being able to follow a novel through thousands of chapters, it's been a long time since I've read a novel with more than 400 chapters. I don't know why, but it's hard to stick with a book. Until I came across this novel with over 900 chapters.
Xu Yi is like a plant sprouting from a crack in the rock, half of his roots firmly planted in the hard soil of reality—he carried the weight of his family from the moment he came of age, exchanging the cultivation paths and immortal love stories in his novels for the necessities of life.
Having read the latest update, here are my initial impressions. Author, your overall writing is quite good. The earlier parts, particularly the male protagonist's family, studies, and career, were all going well. Some comments mentioned the story moved too quickly, making it feel too rushed, but I think it's fine.
The scene where the father is hospitalized and the mother, wanting to avoid disturbing the protagonist's college entrance exam, encounters the situation on her bicycle was incredibly moving, even bringing her to tears. It reminded me of my own mother; when I was little, she would take me on her bicycle, and if she couldn't ride uphill, she'd get off and push me.
After the Three-Body Problem is finished, I can try writing about Seven Weapons or that classic martial arts genre. The writing is very skillful, making it a pleasant and comfortable read. The romance can be subtly introduced without creating too many surprises.
