Reborn: A Growth Plan for 1975

I don't understand why soldiers in historical novels always have to support their families! My maternal grandfather's older brother joined the army in the 1950s! Being a soldier was tough; they were often hungry and their lives were in danger! He deserted, ran home for a meal, and then my grandfather sent him back, fearing he'd be caught and executed for desertion!

The writing style feels forced and tiring to read. The entire book is dry and lifeless, lacking any vitality. The author's writing needs improvement. Overall, this novel is neither enjoyable to read nor worth abandoning.

Does the author not proofread the manuscript before publication? One or two typos are tolerable and won't affect reading too much, but almost every paragraph has typos, which is really distracting. Readers pay for subscriptions, and this makes me feel very uncomfortable. I hope the author will correct it.

I don't understand... Why do you have to give money to your father-in-law after you've separated your households? Why are you still subsidizing your brother? They're capable of earning money, aren't they? Why don't you think about your own family? You'll have children in the future.

There are so many typos here that it's making my heart ache!

It's a monotonous diary, just about what they eat every day, praising everyone they meet, without any ups or downs. There are only two military spouses in the entire military region, it's ridiculous. Every chapter feels like it's about the same thing. The female lead is a selfless, saintly figure who encounters so many impressive people. It doesn't feel like the 70s at all, it feels like the 90s.

It was fine at first, but later the author's writing became more and more like a narrative, with the characters' psychology and actions all described through narration. Moreover, the female lead seemed to solve everything with ease, which was too selfless and unrealistic. I prefer characters whose dialogue and actions allow readers to imagine what kind of person the female lead is, rather than the author simply describing her through narration.

There are no extreme characters or self-destructive behaviors, so it should be a good story. However, the female lead is too fake and aloof. Helping the regimental commander and treating Old Qiao seem like she's just doing a favor for a friend. She doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives or want to build connections. It makes her seem completely selfless, which is too aloof and fake.

It's alright. At least the male and female leads aren't saints. There are some awful characters, but they don't appear often. There's not much of a plot, and not many characters appear. However, the writing is gentle, and the portrayal of romance is slow and restrained. The female lead is calm, almost like an observer.

I don't know why so many people write articles about military wives. I'd like to recommend my new book, "A Little Woman's Struggle in the 1970s." Feel free to read it!
