Peking Opera Master: I Started as a Background Actor and Gained Attributes

The first three chapters were already making me dizzy. It's one thing for a successful person to inexplicably berate a minor character, but to compare yourself to someone else based on what you picked up from them is just so awkward. What's wrong with you? You're so arrogant now that you've got a cheat code. Without it, you're just a nobody.

Before it was published, I had a really good impression of it, mainly because it was a fresh take. There aren't many online novels about traditional opera, and as a 30-year opera fan myself, I was very happy to see it. But after it was published, it became unreadable. Suddenly switching to singing was bad enough, but then there were all sorts of different opera genres, and the most ridiculous thing was the crosstalk part! This book is ruined, it's such a pity, I can't even bear to read it.

Forget it. If you're going to write about traditional opera next, then don't write about the entertainment industry or pop songs. Everyone's coming for Peking Opera; who's going to read anything else?

Having only read one chapter, I can already guess what happens next in this book, given how a master of Peking Opera goes to see his son's graduation performance and praises his son in front of a group of colleagues while belittling the lead actor who is just a minor character.

The subject matter was good, but the writing was terrible.

The game starts with them collecting attributes on stage while they're still performing, and they're already poisonous.

Have you ever had a conflict with someone over 25 or had a one-on-one conversation with a teacher over 30? Please observe how normal people handle conflicts in your daily life.

The beginning was written terribly, and the plot twists that led to the characters' humiliation were unbearable to read.

If you had actually written a proper account of Peking Opera, it might have been readable. But the opening is a pretentious slap in the face, and it's incredibly awkward. How well it's written after that is irrelevant. Goodbye, sir.

I thought it was going to be a proper Peking Opera story, but it turns out to be a modern, pretentious, face-slapping entertainment novel dominated by cheat codes.
