It's not that I'm being dramatic or nitpicking, but I've been thinking about this question. If you weren't going to marry Wang Xifeng, then why did you write about the relationship between the protagonist and Wang Xifeng in the first place? And why didn't you accept it after writing it? Wasn't that just giving away a woman? Nowadays, every single online novelist dares to write like that, but those that do all flop.
A new book! There aren't many books about *Dream of the Red Chamber* that capture the feeling of writing this well. Keep up the good work, author!
The author's description of sending the woman away is truly brilliant. He's giving her money while simultaneously expressing concern that her future husband might mistreat him. He's offering money, advice, and even a solution. The author has such a wealth of life experience.
This is an engaging book, a perfect version of *The Story of the Stone*, a biography of women. Each of the women possesses remarkable abilities, and under the male protagonist's guidance, they create an ideal and vibrant world. Enjoy reading.
I wonder how the author plans to write it. I feel that the theme of *Dream of the Red Chamber* shouldn't focus too much on court and martial arts affairs; even writing some anecdotes about immortals or noble secrets would be fine. Has the author read any works on *Dream of the Red Chamber* studies, such as those by Eileen Chang, Zhou Ruchang, or Cai Yijiang? I hope it won't be like other fanfictions that are written haphazardly.
The author is truly amazing; even the protagonist's act of giving women away seems to have a special feeling about him.
What's so appealing about this? It's not a proper time-travel novel. It's not a proper alternate history either. There's absolutely no sense of immersion. It feels at least five years behind online novels.
It feels too naive and presumptuous. On the first visit to the Jia Mansion, you expect to give lavish gifts to every servant and main character. It's so childish and brainless, like a kindergarten student with no social experience at all!
Authors and readers should also treat each other with sincerity. For example, if your book is about women, you should clearly state from the beginning that it's for women. This way, you can select your readers. Readers who don't like books about women won't be confused, and readers who do like books about women can still find books they like. Wouldn't that be wonderful? 🙂
It really is this protagonist; aside from the fact that he revolves around the Jia family, everything else is great. But it's such a pity! I wish this novel could have been a hit! It's such a shame! The writing style is good, and the subject matter is good too. But what you wrote is absolutely disgusting.
