    I highly recommend the exceptionally brilliant novel, *I'm Not a Peking Opera God*! The protagonist is vividly and movingly portrayed. He may have faced many hardships on his path in Peking Opera, but he always maintained his love and dedication to the art form. His perseverance, his confusion, and his growth all imbue this character with a genuine charm, as if one can see the shadows of countless Peking Opera practitioners in him. The plot is captivating, opening with a thrilling Peking Opera performance that instantly draws the reader into the alluring yet challenging world of Peking Opera. In the protagonist's pursuit of his dreams, there is external pressure, internal struggle, and exhilarating moments. Each plot point is like the opening and closing lines of a Peking Opera performance, full of tension and surprises. Moreover, through the protagonist's experiences, the novel showcases the profound depth of Peking Opera culture and the untold hardships and sacrifices of Peking Opera performers, giving the reader a deeper understanding and respect for this traditional culture. In short, "I'm Not a Drama God" is an excellent novel that will immerse you in the charm of traditional opera and its wonderful stories, allowing you to experience the charm of the characters and the exciting plot. Don't miss it!

    This book is definitely enjoyable. The first three chapters are a bit depressing, but afterwards it's just pure slaughter. There's no saintly heroine, and the killing is ruthless and decisive. It's been a long time since I've read a book that's so enjoyable you can just close your eyes and go! The writing is also very good. I guess it's a bit low in word count because it just started getting ratings, but there have already been many chapters released, so it's definitely worth reading.
