Merchant by Day, Doctor by Night

I couldn't bear to read any further after Chapter 12. His medical skills are superb, yet he's bullied by his colleagues at the hospital director's office—that's abnormal. He could have earned a higher salary elsewhere, but he'd rather stay in a small hospital earning 2000 yuan and be bullied, preferring his family to live a life of poverty—that's especially abnormal.

I watched half of it, and this guy (🐷角) had to meddle in everything. He kept saying he wanted to protect those places from overdevelopment, but then he'd constantly recommend things from there to everyone he met. He'd offer medicine and prescriptions at the drop of a hat. What kind of thought process is that?

Holy Mother, double standards, always wary of friends, always soft-hearted towards enemies, tsk tsk.

This is one of the few books I've read that I can still enjoy even after more than two hundred chapters. I started reading online novels in my freshman year of college, back when they were still in print. It was called "Magic Apprentice," published in 2003. So, it's been 24 years since then, and I'm 21 years old now.

A bookworm who spends a few hundred yuan a month on books is venting. The protagonist's background is unclear; he's a poor kid without any special abilities who knows traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts. The key is, he has no lineage, haha, who did he come from? He's only been out of school for a short time and he's already more capable than the head of his department?

On the contrary, when writing about traditional Chinese medicine, they either try to portray it as a martial arts master or something supernatural. I just don't understand. It's just a normal discipline for treating and saving lives. Why does it need to be like this?

It's well-written, I enjoyed reading it. However, it has its flaws; the protagonist is a bit too conflicted and matures too slowly. But I can understand that. There's a significant gap between fiction and reality, and it's quite good that it's written to this extent—at least I couldn't write it. The author has explained what they wanted to say, and the reader has received it, so that's enough.

I've read three chapters, and it's utterly toxic... It's not that the writing is bad, nor am I discussing the plot's plausibility; it's just that the male lead's character is unlikable. He's a pushover, a scapegoat. From the nurses to the head doctor to the vice president, nobody seems to like him, yet they write that the young male lead has excellent medical skills?

Why can't you last long anywhere? You can't even succeed in public hospitals! Being straightforward is understandable, but you can't even succeed in private hospitals? Didn't you know private hospitals treat their clients differently when you switched jobs? And what about the private hospital director who suppressed key technical staff—was he out of his mind?

The content is good, but there's something awkward about it. To summarize... 1. The protagonist's abilities are not clearly explained. How can someone so young possess such excellent medical skills? After reading many chapters, there is still no explanation. The more I read, the more contradictory it becomes, and I lose the desire to continue reading. 2. The issue is geographical.
