After decades of reading, I’ve never put pen to paper and written a book. What a regret.

Several places were modified.
1. In Chapter 5, the pirates attack the city. Even if the protagonist hides in the countryside, he is not safe. Saving others is also saving himself, which does not seem abrupt. 2. Chapter 6 presents the protagonist's evidence and adds descriptions of the privileges of ancient scholars, such as not having to kneel before officials and being able to insult them without consequence.
I guessed it.
The former owner of Feng Yang Martial Arts School went mad. The protagonist only discovered this when he went to learn the innate martial arts technique—it was the technique itself that drove him insane. The technique was incredibly powerful, but difficult to master and prone to causing internal energy deviation. It seemed like a technique specifically designed for the protagonist. This trope seemed so familiar...
The first half was well written, but the second half turned into a farming story 😅. The "Seeing" skill needs to be changed. If it weren't for the protagonist's aura, these powerful beings would have died long ago. They should have gotten a blue item after killing so many monsters.
The author uses the phrase "Liaozhai" (聊斋) to describe something that doesn't resemble Liaozhai at all; the more he writes, the further he strays from those words. Disappointing.
I just finished ordering everything, only to find out it was a dead eunuch.

Holy crap... This book's grades were alright... And now they're just not going to write anymore?
I'm optimistic about the author's potential. Although their writing skills are still limited, it's clear they want to portray each character as vivid and relatable. Don't be like those incompetent writers who only know how to use formulas to pad out word counts; even after seven or eight chapters, their writing will still be at a beginner level. Keep striving to make each chapter more detailed than the last, and you'll eventually achieve legendary status.
Those who wrote *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio* all ended up in the palace…
This is a new update? I've been laughing for about a month now, and there are only 30 chapters? Yeah, just as short and weak as the previous one.
I just want to ask, the protagonist must have time-traveled, right? Before time-traveling, he must have never watched TV dramas or read novels, and only focused on studying, right? And his work must have been smooth sailing without any backstabbing or intrigue, right?
