Reborn in 1983

Sigh, I rarely criticize anymore, knowing it's not easy for authors to write, but this is just too illogical. The protagonist has already traveled to 2021, knows the future trends, and anyone who traveled that way knows the only paths are education or business. Yet the author is hesitating between going to high school and listening to his mother to go to the mines.

Are there really no good rebirth novels? Just passing by... 🤭

The protagonist is such a loser... I don't expect you to be incredibly awesome, but please stop thinking about mining coal all the time. Also, the girl's family was so poor that she could barely afford to go to school and they were always hungry, so she had to mooch off the main character. They even considered having the protagonist marry into their family, but the protagonist comes from a working-class family! What was the author thinking?

Good books are hard to find these days! I recommend some well-written books that I've read. 1. Rebirth in the Wild Era (Wang Zijun) 2. Reinventing Your Life for Thirty Years (Royal Hired Cat) 3. Starting in 1983 (sleeping will make you whiter) 4. Rebirth: I Want to Surf the Waves (Sleeping Makes Me Whiter) 5. Rongfei's Dream Life (wanglong)

Honestly, in the 1980s, staying within a state-owned enterprise was the only true path to success. If you wanted to make money, you could wait until after 1992; by then, capital, connections, and policies would be much better. Doing business in the 1980s was really difficult; there was even the risk of ending up like a soap opera.

The mine-going and high school hesitation are really toxic. I wonder if the author actually researched it? There's an old mine in my village where too many people die in the mines. Every year, several, even a dozen or so die. You think mines are mechanized now? Back then, you went down the mine with picks, shovels, and flat bamboo sticks—I forget what they were called—to pick things out.

The protagonist's family and friends are so tragic! Some are fighting like father and son, others have their wives run away and they go insane, and still others, like the school beauty who missed the high school entrance exam by one point, end up as a beggar. Wow, this is too tragic! He's practically a reincarnation of a cursed star!

In the protagonist's previous life, were all the villagers from that village dead?

So many people are praising her? Did she get paid? Back in the 80s, there were still school beauties? People were so poor they couldn't even afford food, how could they possibly produce school beauties? Did any of the characters around you have a good ending? Some went mad, some went to jail, some became crippled. This isn't China, it's Gotham!

The writing lacks grandeur, yet the tone is overly arrogant. The book's claim that "getting into Tsinghua and Peking University is a piece of cake" begs the question: where does the author, a high school graduate, get such confidence? It's like me, a student who only got into a top-tier university; even if I retook the exam for ten years, I wouldn't dare say I could get in.
