The Turbulent Eighties

One suggestion: I recommend writing more about politics and humanities. These topics are closely related to business. Many business novels are based solely on assumptions and focus only on the commercial aspect, lacking any real depth. To mitigate risk, there are plenty of other countries to explore; you don't have to focus solely on mainland China.

After reading the latest chapter, everyone (including me) thought the top three Miss Hong Kong winners were too ugly! Then I went to Baidu to look up Miss Hong Kong winners since 1973. And wow, did they offend their makeup artists and photographers? I uploaded a few! These are people you all recognize! I just don't know if you'll be able to tell them apart ๑v๑ hehe

I've been following the author ever since his previous novel, Rebirth of the Electronic Empire. Unlike other Hong Kong entertainment novels, the author's description of industrial development is very detailed and distinctive. Most importantly, it carries a sense of national pride and a clear stance!

To be honest, the concept of flesh-wearing is terrible. A person who can't be found out at all often means they are the government's most important spy. The Soviet government wouldn't like the protagonist, and neither would the Chinese government. Of course, novels don't need to worry about all that.

The author hasn't yet mastered the tropes of online novels, with its long stretches of narration. Readers want to see the protagonist make money, but not the specifics of how. A ruthless money-making machine? The common trope in online novels is to use a third-person perspective to create the feeling of a first-person narrative. They use bystanders to embellish stories about how much money someone has made and how many beautiful women they've dated.

Brother Jiu recommended it, saying it has the potential to be a near-immortal herb. I'll save it for later; I'll read it when it gets longer.

I told you long ago, this guy is still a eunuch king, just with a different identity.

I watched him build a tall building, watched him entertain guests, and watched his building collapse—that's how I feel before I've even finished reading the free chapters! Ever since that Miss Hong Kong contestant appeared, the book has become disjointed and unsystematic, with a unclear main plot. It jumps around haphazardly, trying to cover everything without any clear structure. There aren't even chapter titles, which makes me hesitant to even subscribe. It's like opening a blind box.

I thought he'd be stirring things up in the US, but it turns out to be the same old routine, and the writing is still rather bland.

Rosamund Kwan was 18, Maggie Cheung was 16, they were old enough to eat, why bother... Sigh.
