Novels I've found dangerously awful while reading. I'm making this list to remember them and avoid getting tricked into liking them later.

No wonder this book didn't do well; it's uncomfortable to read. Is the protagonist some kind of saint? His own family had only recently escaped poverty, and he immediately gave away millions of dollars and a company that would surely be worth hundreds of millions.
Brothers, this book is toxic and its values are a bit outrageous. Contributing to the country is something we should do, no doubt about it. The first flaw: The jade pendant meant for his daughter was tricked away by his sister with candied hawthorns, and the protagonist didn't react at all.
I was about to drop the show after seeing Cheng Wen. I could accept that the female lead was trash and I would just stop writing about her. But then the male lead actually realized that he was being inconsiderate of Cheng Wen's feelings. I was genuinely shocked! After a year of silence, it was clear she wanted a divorce.
This book reminded me of emotionally charged posts on forums like Weibo, Zhihu, and NGA; some parts made my blood pressure spike. Here are two points that I consider problematic: 1. The valuable jewelry that the old lady gave to the male protagonist's daughter was tricked away by the male protagonist's sister, but the male protagonist generously gave it away.
The protagonist is too selfish, petty, and narrow-minded. As a Party member, if you go back in time and meet a great leader, why wouldn't you tell them everything? What did the country need back then? Did you not trust the wisdom and courage of the top leadership? They're still making a fuss down there; have they long forgotten the oath they took when they joined the Party?
It's not exactly extreme in terms of taste; the novel is just too realistic. In reality, there are many women like the female protagonist: shrewd, selfish, opportunistic, self-serving, and lacking in family responsibility. However, most novels understand their readers' preferences, like serving dishes.
Believe it or not, there actually is a group of readers who are willing to read this kind of book.
I can't stand the moral blackmail in the story! The protagonist is morally coerced into going to an impoverished place! He helps the village become wealthy, but then the villagers force him to leave! He helps a man surnamed Xie save his father, but then they turn around and force him to leave! He takes great care of an old blind man, but then he repays kindness with ingratitude! And so it went.
The article is alright, especially the patriotism it evokes, which is quite compelling. However, the author's approach of advocating for commerce to help their hometown and ultimately save the country is rather capricious. ★First, I sold 80 jin (40 catties) of homemade seasoning at 1.88 Yuan per jin (0.5 Kg), earning 1500 yuan.
The female lead needs to be careful, otherwise many readers will abandon the book. Will the wife who ran away have a plot point later, or will she return to the male lead's side? Anyway, I don't want to subscribe anymore. After all the groundwork you've laid in the previous chapters, if you still want to whitewash the female lead, well, that's just laughable.
