A Literary Life

I was having a reading slump when I suddenly came across this book, and it felt like a breath of fresh air on Qidian. New readers usually don't read this kind of book; only seasoned fans who've grown tired of it will actually read it. Any veteran readers of 5 years or more, please check in and let me see how many there are?

It's called "artistic life," but it's really just plagiarism. They copy whatever's popular in the original timeline, and I've never seen the main actors have much understanding of the works. When it comes to filming, they just wash their hands of the business, mainly focusing on securing investment—they're quite the businessmen, though.

The main character doesn't plan to have a second child; with only one child, the child will be lonely. I'm an only child myself, and I always wanted a younger brother or sister when I was little. Unfortunately, my parents wouldn't allow it.

I just started reading, and I feel like I can keep reading. I really enjoy it.

Is the protagonist crazy? Even though he's a time traveler, he doesn't need to confess to a strange girl, nor does he have that obligation. Even if he were to confess, it would just be a formality, reciting poetry—he's insane. The entire novel is illogical. This attempt at being pretentious is incredibly awkward.

I don't like the female lead. She seems so innocent and naive. I found her annoying from the part where she forced the male lead to cooperate and pretend to be her boyfriend. In particular, he deliberately agreed to be her boyfriend at the beginning to shield her from trouble and to explain things later. This place is especially pure and innocent.

Sigh, after reading 1983, this feels like chewing wax. There's no substance or insight. Did I read the books in the wrong order?

I've read over 400 chapters. Everything else is fine, but I really dislike the protagonist's younger sister's character. I can accept the protagonist transmigrating and copying scripts from novels, but what about the younger sister? Her character is also annoying; it's a major flaw. Another person I dislike is Xu Jinglei.

I read three chapters, and then I thought, "Screw you, get lost!" Even if the rest is good, I won't read it. It's incoherent; it talks about conservative ideas, then suddenly the girl is staying at the male lead's house and won't leave. If this were 2018, I might have watched it, but now it just feels outdated.

After watching it, I came to the conclusion that it makes no difference whether the world has a protagonist or not.
