I Entered Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio as a Sword Immortal

If you're going to write a story from *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*, then just write it properly. Why add *Dream of the Red Chamber* to it? It's like forcing a romance element into a fantasy film—it just doesn't fit.

Change the name! "Sword Immortal" is out of the question; it should be renamed "The Ups and Downs of an Official's Career" from *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*. It's all about personal matters, family affairs, and national affairs—what kind of immortal cultivation is that?! It's so contradictory!

Like a madman, he kept offending everyone he could think of, making it seem like the whole world was against him.

I've noticed that the protagonist lies without thinking. When his family asks who he learned swordsmanship from, he knows perfectly well this is a world of ghost stories, with immortals, yet he insists on lying that he was taught by Lü Dongbin in a dream. Is he just looking for trouble? No, wait, it's the author who's writing the plot without thinking.

The protagonist says that this world's history before the Tang Dynasty was exactly the same as Earth's, but it changed from the Sui Dynasty under Emperor Yang Guang, who successfully conquered Goguryeo. Don't you think there's something wrong with what he said? And this protagonist is supposed to be a history graduate student?

By the time I got to Chapter 5, this was outrageous! A business with 50,000 taels of silver had no capital whatsoever, all of it was debt?! And after so many years of business, they had absolutely no savings?! What kind of business operates like this?!

This is a harem novel. The author vehemently dislikes Taoism, and even imitates a sword immortal by criticizing Taoism. Ha...

This protagonist is such a hypocrite, and the author also likes to smuggle in their own agenda. It's a story about Confucianism disguised as a sword immortal tale, but it's actually about a ruthless Taoist sect.

The writing is actually alright. However, the protagonist himself isn't very strong and keeps causing trouble, failing to clean up his own messes. He acts like a madman, actively getting involved in everything and jumping into the vortex of trouble. It's only because he's the protagonist that he's already dead; this has happened so many times. Things that are too risky and too coincidental are never a good thing.

The author seems confused. He owes 50,000 yuan for raw materials and has 50,000 yuan worth of finished products. If the finished products were used up by the raw materials, his business would have gone bankrupt long ago. In the finished product processing industry, without at least a certain profit margin, how can anyone survive?
