I was completely engrossed in it, it brought back the feeling I had when I read Zhou Hexuan's book. I couldn't put it down. There weren't many plot devices, the pacing was fast, and it was quite unique.
From a geographical and climatic perspective, Hengdian is not a good place to build a film studio. The choice to build a film studio in Hengdian was probably due to the preferences of the investors at the time. For example, Geographically, the area is mountainous; online research indicates that many mountains were leveled when the film studio was built.
I've never understood why you, after getting angry, would then proceed to copy everything down like this—it gives off the impression of a righteous thief. However, despite the strange behavior, the writing itself is fairly fluent.
It's very well written 👍🏻, with a lot of original content, sharp writing style, and deeply moving. The ending is also very good 👌🏻. Instead of becoming the richest man and showing off in front of others, he returned to the starting point, back to where his dream began. Author, keep up the good work!
A literary masterpiece without a systematic approach, over 400 chapters, read word for word. There are a few minor flaws, but they don't detract from its overall quality. It has considerable depth, and the protagonist's level of understanding is something I aspire to be. The pacing quickens a bit in the later stages; actually, around 500-600 chapters would have been better. The ending left a deep impression on me. A highly recommended read, rated 8 out of 10.
Well, to put it simply, the author's narrative style is just as wild as Lin Chaosheng's! The updates are also quite fast. When I saw it was finished, my feelings were mixed; I could finally take my time reading and keep up with Lin Chaosheng's crazy journey! However, the lower rating is also a pity. Keep it up, author!
I've read many reborn literary giants, but this one is quite original! Highly recommended.
Personally, I think the early part was phenomenal, with a particularly good blend of historical setting and artistic merit. It declined slightly later on. Overall, though, it was very enjoyable to read. Keep up the good work, author!
When I was in junior high school, my teachers rarely explained the foreign literature in our textbooks to us; for example, they never taught "The Metamorphosis."
Why is the rating so low for such a good novel?
