Come On, Orthopedic Doctor!

Hello author, perhaps it's just my personal feeling, but the character of Sun Yan you wrote is a bit too affected and artificial, making her quite unpleasant to watch. It would be better if the character were a little less affected and gentle.

Recently, there's been a lot of writing about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) online, portraying it as something miraculous, completely unrealistic. I'm from Chengdu, and I've been to the TCM hospital's National Medical Center a few times. The doctors there are either specialists, professors, or supposedly inheritors of some family of TCM practitioners, but I feel they're just average.

There's a lot of hype and mythologizing of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) online, but how many people actually go to TCM doctors when they're truly sick? 😁

I've read dozens of chapters. First, they're short; second, they're mostly (popular science) content—one chapter per patient, plus a prescription, and that's it. This is fiction, not medical case studies. Can readers understand it? Can they enjoy it? Would they pay to read it?

It's really good; the details are very well done, and the author definitely has relevant professional experience. As long as the pacing is well controlled, this kind of professional novel shouldn't do too badly. The female supporting character isn't a big problem; the author can follow their own ideas.

Those who study Chinese medicine. The first step is to cite classical texts; the second step is to keep pace with the times; the third step is to apply them flexibly; and the fourth step is to innovate independently. Some people say that there are too many quotations and classical Chinese texts in the beginning, which are hard to understand and feel like an archaeological dig.

This is the first time I've seen a system like this, created from writing a diary? What a joke!

This Sun Yan character is completely unnecessary. Her appearance immediately gives off a strong vibe of a cheesy idol drama. If the author can't write her well, they can simply leave her out; it won't make any difference!

After reading thirty chapters, I really couldn't continue. On one hand, I probably have the common restlessness of modern people. On the other hand, the author's motivation was to show enough professionalism. Every medical record was cited from classical texts, and every prescription was based on evidence. There was too much use of classical Chinese.
