The treasure unearthed in the Red Mansions Travel Story! It no longer revolves around Bao Daichai's love entanglement, but focuses on the transformation of Jia Cong, a marginalized concubine. The perspective is novel and down-to-earth. The current situation in the government where everyone is flattering and downplaying, and the indifference between flesh and blood is truly heart-breaking. The protagonist recognizes the reality and does not blame others, and the character who is bent on seizing power through the imperial examination is very lovable. The plot has a tight rhythm and intensive conflicts at the beginning, which lays the foundation for the exciting counterattack. In just 10,000 words, it outlines the decay of the Jia family. If the character lines of the supporting characters such as the Twelve Beauties of Jinling and the elders of the Jia family are expanded and completed, the plot will be complete to a higher level. Readers who like the counterattack of Red Mansion Farming and the intrigues of the imperial examination can feel free to enter the plot.
A good work. Taking the imperial examination route, it is rare that the protagonist is not the first in every imperial examination as often seen in other works, but is arranged in a reasonable ranking. I like this very much. The article frequently writes about poetry and policy, many of which are written by the author himself. Regardless of whether the content is professional or not, I am just a layman, but I have to praise it for its originality. Besides, if it is a novel, it will make people feel unclear when reading it. I just feel that there are some regrets in the original work that have not been made up for, which is a bit disappointing, but the protagonist has reached the limit of his ability, so I can't force it. Another point is that the author is able to avoid deliberately slandering characters such as Jia Baoyu, that is, not being too facialistic. This really makes me feel more comfortable watching it than other works. All in all, this book can be recommended I hope the author will update it soon, I am looking forward to the work [Sending my heart]
It's pretty good. Currently, most of the plots are about the protagonist studying. Although the poems or strategies in the novel are a bit too long, they will inevitably look dull, but each piece is written with great care. Among them, the most impressive thing is that the author has written out the friendship between the characters in the Red Mansion. Whether it is the laughter during the excitement, the love and banter between sisters and brothers, or the desolation after the house gradually becomes deserted, they are all written very well. It is a rare work that does not describe the characters in the Red Mansion in a stereotyped manner. Everyone has friendship, and there are ties between people and they all miss each other.
There are thousands of fans of Red Mansion, most of which revolve around core characters such as Baoyu, Daiyu, Wang Xifeng, etc. This book takes a unique approach and chooses Jia Cong, an almost transparent marginal character in the original work, as the protagonist. The perspective is novel and extremely tense. It breaks out of the old routine of love entanglements in the Grand View Garden and combines the house fights in Red Mansions, feudal ethics and the counterattack of the imperial examinations of poor families. It is a hearty read.
The story is full of tension at the beginning. The main character's soul passes through Jia Cong, but the Ru Kiln Shuicheng was severely injured by his father Jia She because of a piece of jewelry. When he wakes up, he has to endure the hidden malicious difficulties of his aunt, Mrs. There is no golden finger by his side, no noble people to help him for no reason, and he is trapped in the quagmire of the house. Crying and complaining are all in vain. The protagonist does not indulge in self-pity, but chooses to use the imperial examination as a sharp edge to tear open the solidified class cage of the Jia family.
It's very interesting, and the story development is quite realistic. It's the only one I've read that doesn't smear anything, neither Baochai nor Daiyu, nor conspiracy theories about Jia's family. The author writes very well and the writing style is very good.
In the feudal era, whether women were noble mothers or humble slaves, they were essentially just high-level tools and low-level tools. It was difficult for Lao Cao to completely break away from this cultural background. He tried his best to write about women's grace and misfortune, but still used Baoyu, a male perspective with divine empathy, to complete his observation and condolences of women's suffering. He sympathized with their destruction, but failed to escape from the position of male witness. This is the precious thing about Lao Cao, and it is also his inherent limitation. So actually I don't like Red Mansion. The quality of the author's fanfic is very high at present. He does not write about strong men for the sake of writing about strong men (not about being brainless, not about punching relatives, kicking powerful people, and slapping villains in the face). In essence, he still adheres to the concept that if you are poor, you can be alone, and if you are prosperous, you can help the world. He can ignore the suffering of others and the fate of the whole family in the early stage, because he knows that he can't stop it and can't control it. As he said himself, "First let others not bully me, and then let others listen to me." It's very true. In terms of writing style, it seems that the author has good writing skills and solid writing skills. Several eight-part essays and poems he wrote have highlights. Although my point of view is somewhat different from that of the author (his perspective on solving the problem and the depth of his perspective on the problem), there seems to be no problem with the author's writing so far? Hope this quality is maintained.
To be honest, judging from the current situation, Tomato Red Mansion is a book with a very unique idea. It is very novel and the writing style is also good. It really has the feeling of a heavy sword without an edge, a large skill but no workmanship. It has the feeling of slowly soaking in. It is very suitable for reading slowly.
I read dozens of chapters in one breath. It is a rare masterpiece derived from Red Mansions. The writing style is rich and ancient and fits the times. No golden fingers rely on knowledge to grow step by step. The imperial examination lines are delicate and realistic. It is very good.
I just read this book today. Not many people have read it, but Tomato was recommended to me, so I took a look. Very well written! Some plots in The Red Mansion have been subtly revised. It's not obtrusive, very self-consistent, and there's no problem of being too high and pointing in all directions. The protagonist should be a local official in the future, and I feel that he should be proficient in solving cases and government affairs. I hope the author will update 1 million words a day.
