The Ordinary Road, 2010

To be honest, this book made me feel a bit uncomfortable. It's a good book, but not for me. It felt like watching a modern campus romance drama, but I couldn't relate to it. My high school didn't have a student council, a school beauty, or any clubs. Activities were scarce, maybe just a spring and autumn sports meet and a New Year's Eve party.

I believe I've found the biggest bug. When Peng Yuchen first appeared, Lin Yi didn't need to keep dragging the female lead into the entertainment industry. Given Lin Yi's future prospects, launching a female star's career would be a piece of cake.

I acknowledge that the author's writing style is good, but the frequent use of phrases like "touching the nose" and "bitter smile" is really jarring! Also, I support Gu Changge's disapproval of the male lead's feelings, since dating is inappropriate for high school students. However!! I believe many people have read *The Great Nirvana* and *Reignition*, right?

I genuinely don't understand two things about the author: 1. Why insist on pushing his girlfriend to a small management company and signing a contract where she only gets 5% or even less? 2. Why not introduce her to his friends, at least to people at the vice president level, so that everyone around him mistakenly thinks he's single and that the women around him don't understand?

It's well written; it would be best if it only had a single female lead.

It's been six years, and they still haven't had sex. Is the master a monk? I want to ask. Her mother is like a lamp... 😅😅😅

The author's writing is decent, but the title is a mistake; it lacks vision. How can someone who runs a major company be considered ordinary? What significant impact will your rebirth have on this world? What kind of progress will it make? Making your girlfriend suffer and be restricted in joining a girl group?

Well, the term "self-heating hot pot" seems to fit the description perfectly. The male lead has returned to his high school days, and it's hard to see where he's matured. It seems like someone who didn't have many regrets to begin with has simply transmigrated. His only regret? The school beauty? Maybe so.

Is the author using rebirth as a form of satire? While others are reborn to fulfill their dreams and create glory, Lin Yi's rebirth is simply to witness Caiwei's entry into the entertainment industry. Before her rebirth, Caiwei was already a relatively successful artist. What did Lin Yi's rebirth bring to Caiwei? The same old path, no solid support, just the addition of Lin Yi's affections. So, the author probably has some real-world aspirations…

The campus setting was alright, but the business warfare was too bland, perhaps due to the author's lack of workplace experience. The business warfare scenes in "Rebirth at the Turn of the Century" and the memory war were particularly thrilling.
