Seeking the Dao, Starting in Dream of the Red Chamber

Another self-castrated protagonist, I don't know what he's afraid of. Can't he just be an upright person? He has no backbone at all. You can be cautious in your dealings with others, but you can't go too far. He doesn't even dare to make friends or classmates. Everyone he meets seems to have designs on him. He grovels before anyone who is rich and powerful.

In my opinion, it's a gem. There's too much drama in *Dream of the Red Chamber*, so it's best not to get involved. If you're not cultivating immortality, women are still an option. But if you're cultivating, having one or two women you like is enough; the rest are really not that great. Keep it up, though. A ten-year bookworm like me thinks it's divine.

The rest is utter nonsense. The protagonist, having passed the imperial examination with top honors, is actually afraid of being suppressed? As the top scholar, all the officials in the court would automatically protect his dignity. They might not have much real power, but those with high rank and noble status would still promote him.

Seeing the author curse the emperor during the imperial examination because he was searched, I'm speechless. With that level of intelligence... The emperor's strict checks are actually for the protagonist's own good; otherwise, how could someone of his status possibly pass? Xue Pan had a better chance than him; the sons of powerful families had already snatched all the opportunities. I can't stand this lack of intelligence. Goodbye.

You showed absolutely no involvement in your writing of *Dream of the Red Chamber*. It's already so long and you're still just entertaining yourself. What's the reasoning behind your *Dream of the Red Chamber* writing? And most importantly, where are the girls?

The story started off well, but has recently become quite disappointing. In the early stages, when the protagonist was weak, his cautious and low-key approach was understandable. However, now that his achievements and cultivation have reached a high level, he surprisingly has no one to command, making him seem easily manipulated.

The beginning was alright, but Chapter 69 was truly disgusting. A top scholar gets paid to make ointment? Is this a joke? If you want to make money like this, why even bother becoming the top scholar? And an official with real power gets paid to make ointment? Impressive!

Could the author please delete some comments? This comment section is too chaotic; it scares away newcomers, and there are trolls everywhere. Deleting comments isn't shameful; it's just about maintaining a friendly reading experience. I think this book is quite to my liking, but the comments section is making me lose the desire to continue reading.

Good job, very well written! Keep it up!

The beginning was good, but it got increasingly frustrating as I read on. A top scholar, fawning over this person and that person—it's a real shame to waste such a good book.
