Restarting the Soaring Years

Seriously, speechless. Don't authors these days do any research before writing their books? It's another story about selling milk tea in the 90s, charging 10 yuan a cup, and doing incredibly good business. They were doing agritourism in the 90s, why didn't they start WeChat or TikTok then? Seriously, speechless.

The villain the protagonist encounters is a bit dim-witted, but that fits his character.

This is the author's specialty.

I've been having a reading slump lately, so I jumped into this book and read a few dozen chapters. I realized the author pushed the timeline back ten years. The events in the book set in 1995 are very similar to my experiences in 2005. Seriously? In 1995, would any student be able to afford a vegetarian hot pot that cost 50 cents and a meat one dollar?

It's a bit ridiculous. There's clearly only one female lead (the one with whom he has a relationship). Yet, he writes about so many women (Aunt Hua, female classmate, cousin, older cousin, secretary, subordinate, female friend), and they're all written in such ambiguous ways. It's so annoying.

I skimmed through it, and all I can say is that while the book has its exciting moments, it also has its share of flaws… 80% of the female characters have ambiguous relationships with the protagonist, yet he pretends to be devoted to one while engaging in these relationships. Many of these female characters feel like sluts, and the protagonist even fawns over them, which is disgusting…

Repost: As a piece about a specific era, I doubt whether the author actually lived through that time. What was the average national income in 1995? Before disposable income reached a certain level, who would travel? Moreover, the tourism industry first flourished in major tourist attractions before gradually shifting back to so-called suburban trips and agritourism.

Anyone who says you couldn't run agritourism in 1995 is a fool. Why take a novel so seriously? Besides, why couldn't you run agritourism in 1995? Agritourism is so popular now. Let alone 1995, running agritourism in 1985 would definitely have been profitable, with monthly sales exceeding 100 million yuan.

I couldn't stand it anymore after chapter 78. What kind of nonsense is this? "A good man doesn't become a soldier"? Have you forgotten who's protecting you now? You don't have to love, but don't hurt.

So relatable! But the author probably didn't live through that era! If the exam scores weren't right, agritourism businesses would have died out in 1995, an era when everyone had to pay grain taxes. You can't harvest mulberry leaves for silkworms in the morning.
