The pacing is too fast; everyday life scenes are glossed over! It's utterly heartless! Aside from the main character, all the other characters are just plot devices.
This book is too tense; the story doesn't unfold properly and feels like a monotonous diary. The premise, however, is actually quite good.
Personally, I think some aspects were not handled well. The protagonist aspires to become a grandmaster, aiming for godhood or immortality, but ends up participating in a variety show, getting involved in scandals with other women, and ultimately achieving nothing, leaving as soon as the show ends. I feel inexplicably cheapened in this regard.
The content doesn't match the title; it feels like the author is just using Peking Opera as a pretext to participate in various variety shows and act.
Honestly, it's a bit chaotic. He's participated in too many random shows. To be a true master, you have to be pure. He's been on every singing and variety show he can get his hands on, but it's all about performing opera. Other things might be out of necessity, to promote opera, or to make money to build an opera troupe. To be a master, your theme must be clear: a love for opera.
Dear author, I have some opinions. There are too many variety show elements. I skip many of them just by looking at the chapter titles. I wanted to subscribe to the whole thing, but the chapter titles alone don't interest me. Also, during many classic songs and performances, you should have engaged the audience's reactions, but there was absolutely no reaction.
Let me explain the issue of the "scumbag" persona and his private life that everyone has been discussing. The reason for this is that the author wrote about the protagonist participating in a dating reality show before becoming famous, similar to the show "Heart Signal," and the template was completely based on a program the author had watched before.
This is a good book; I recommend everyone to add it to your collection.
There are very few novels in the traditional Chinese style, and most of them are mindless plagiarisms. This one is actually quite well written. I have two suggestions for the author, I don't know if they are correct, these are just my personal opinions. First, there is too little description of life in the plot; I hope you will consider writing more about it in the future.
I have to say, has the main character gone astray? It's true she plays female roles, but there's no need for her to sing only female songs! A role is a role, and life is life; your elders will be very strict about that!
Brother, there are some things that he's not suited for. Peking Opera is like that; it really requires depth and refinement. "A quarter of an hour on stage requires ten years of practice off stage." Every note and melody in your performance needs to have something ingrained within it.
