When the Wind Rose, 2005

I've read a lot of rebirth novels, and this one is really down-to-earth. Most of them are computer veterans who, after setting up websites, have everything they need. Or they're rich kids or something. Nine out of ten rebirth stories fall into one of these two categories, with the other ten involving small businesses (selling DVDs, wholesaling and assembling computers at school) or something similar.

It's not exactly mindless fiction, but the romance between an ordinary guy and a wealthy family felt a bit awkward and forced to me. The two school beauties actively helping him also felt like something out of a dream. Having read part of it, it felt like the same old formula: too many coincidences and too many beautiful women throwing themselves at him with their talent and money.

Teacher Lin was held back by the main character; there was really no need to provoke her. I've always believed that having two women is enough; more than that is troublesome and the marginal benefit decreases.

I hope the author will never write a plot where the protagonist is moved by his roommate's deep affection, changes his initial views, and then actively teaches his roommate how to pursue Gu Ranxi and Yu Mo. In the end, with the protagonist's help, he finally wins their hearts. That would be very boring. Even if it's not part of the protagonist's harem, please don't send girls to him!

First appearance

Your girlfriend is practically invisible. In reality, a relationship like yours would have ended long ago.

This female lead is really hard to watch; she's so ungrateful and always gives the impression that the protagonist is desperately trying to please her.

Can we really go against the users' perceptions? The character of Liu Feifei is a pity; is she even a supporting female character? She's always giving away shares. If the author wanted to be realistic, shares shouldn't be distributed in the early stages of a company.

A novel becomes boring if there are too many women.

Zuo You has no redeeming qualities; she's spoiled, willful, and a complete idiot. She's really toxic; she might as well just disappear from the public eye.
