The Nine Schools and Sects of the Mountain Ravine

One update a day isn't enough; consistently updating twice a day will gain you popularity much faster.

The plot of showing off and getting slapped in the face is similar to the plot of a novel called "The Miscellaneous Scholar of the Mountains and Fields"; it's not original, goodbye.

Even living deep in the mountains, people still come to show off and humiliate you. The key is that they always go to great lengths, are highly professional, and their character descriptions are completely devoid of any guile—they're all single-mindedly devoted to scholarship. Tsk tsk, you could write a million words of character templates without repeating yourself.

Wood carving, painting—it's all the same formulaic groveling by passersby, incredibly awkward to watch, and utterly unappealing.

If you study sculpture, you'll become someone who understands sculpture; if you study traditional Chinese painting, you'll become someone who understands traditional Chinese painting; if you study winemaking, you'll become someone who understands wine. Is it really necessary to be so deliberate?

The early parts are watchable, but the later parts are less so. Times are changing, and while we don't deny the contributions of Confucianism, not everything from the ancients is correct. We can't accept all the wisdom of the ancients wholesale, such as the concept of a round heaven and a square earth. Therefore, some of the ancient knowledge you learn may be flawed. Don't blindly recite it; otherwise, it will be baffling and even intellectually stimulating.

The protagonist's secluded mountain village is bustling with activity! So many people are visiting!

This book is exactly the same as one I read a few years ago (I'm currently on chapter 45). That book also featured a system and various social classes, and the entire plot is currently identical. I don't know if this counts as plagiarism 🥵🥵. However, I can't remember if that book was abandoned or if I missed it 😅😅.

It's a bit risky, but if the system gives it to you, just take it. They deliberately wrote the protagonist to be ugly after masturbating. They complained about the system while secretly enjoying it. Just because you're not soft-hearted doesn't mean you're qualified to have a sharp tongue. If it's good, it's good; if it's bad, it's bad. Life is already full of struggles, and you're still struggling in the book.

He claimed he wanted to be a hermit, but he kept pretending, and it was an embarrassing pretense.
