A ten-year veteran 😅 I'm pretty laid-back, and the books I've saved are all ones I enjoy, so updates happen whenever I feel like it.

The reason I liked "Becoming a Detective in the Film and Television World" is because the protagonist was steady and rational, never revealing his true colors in the end, and his disguise was quite convincing. I hope this new book can inherit these strengths.
After reading some comments, what I want to say is that this book is truly a relaxing farming novel, not one of those that uses farming as a pretext but whose main plot revolves around fighting and killing! In this book, the fighting and killing are just embellishments of life!!
Just kidding, there are actually people who take "poverty breeds cunning, wealth breeds conscience" as gospel truth. Countless events in history tell us that the first half of the saying might be true, but the second half is completely impossible.
It's written in a casual, slice-of-life style, but with a bizarre cultivation theme. You might call it slice-of-life, but it also has a system. You might call it bizarre, but it's still just about doing things to pass the time. Plus, the system diminishes the sense of accomplishment from the actions. The author failed to find the right angle, resulting in dozens of chapters that felt like a waste of time.
I should just stick to writing about American variety shows. Those detective dramas are so clever and effective at solving cases, really. There's so much great material in American, British, Japanese, and Korean dramas, especially detective stories. Maybe you could start a poll in our group to see if more people want to see you write about American variety shows?
The pacing is very slow, and the lack of a main storyline gives the impression that the content is written as ideas come to mind. After reading over fifty chapters, it can be summarized in one sentence: It has a system, and it's a farming game (>_>).
I'm speechless. I subscribed to the full series when I saw chapters 60-something, thinking it was good reading material. But then in chapter 80, he opens a roadside stall and gives the mutant species to the villagers. How can these villagers grow the mutant species if they don't have celestial fields?
Surrounded by a group of women, he's a eunuch. Sigh, I'm not watching anymore.
Wow, you're amazing. The first chapter got censored. I want to see what it is. The new book just started, and DB can't even save it in time.
The character Xiaoman might be barely acceptable in a modern setting, but she feels awkward in an ancient one. Leaving aside the issue of gender segregation, just the mention of "Old Gu" immediately breaks the immersion... Having read so many ancient and fantasy novels, I've rarely seen a name like "Old X"...
