Here, Take These Books. No Need to Thank Me
No brainless stories! No brainless stories! No brainless stories! Important things have to be said three times. As for me, the moment I spot a story that makes no sense, dumbs down its characters, or is incoherent from beginning to end, I avoid it like the plague. I cover my eyes, hold my nose, plug my ears, and hurry past upwind so I don't get a trace of it on me! That's my personal stance. If we don't see eye to eye, feel free to browse elsewhere. Maybe we'll meet another time! These are books

It's too difficult for traditional Chinese medicine to become widespread. It's not that good TCM doctors don't exist, but the good ones are all serving the powerful and wealthy. Hospitals have become assembly-line operations combining TCM with clinical practice. How can you expect good results from that?
I have something to tell you. Which guy tipped me 22 times yesterday? Let's not talk about anything else. Is it really worth giving 2 coins each time? Just read the book, no teasing the author! 🙂
Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, remember to take the medical practice qualification exam in the future.
The author wrote it so well! If everyone in the world had a protagonist like that, I would just laze around all day, go to the protagonist's house to eat when I'm hungry, and curse the protagonist while I eat. If I get sick, I would go directly to the protagonist for treatment, and after I'm cured, I would ask the protagonist for some pocket money and bully his family a bit to get some attention.
The Barefoot Doctor's Manual could cure 90% of diseases in China, so why did it fail to gain wider adoption and eventually get cancelled? Simply put, there is no economic benefit. If you can cure a cold for just three or five dollars, how do doctors make money? It's not that traditional Chinese medicine is bad, but rather that it's too good.
Forcibly lowering the intelligence of everyone around me makes me look like an idiot myself; it's so awkward and unsettling. I'm giving up. Sigh.
The protagonist's character has two problems: First, his TCM skills seem to have appeared out of thin air; why don't others question them, including his family? Second, despite his exceptional medical and martial arts skills, he receives almost no respect from his family.
This book is like this: no matter who slanders or belittles the protagonist, later they bring up proof that the protagonist is innocent, and after the person apologizes, the protagonist forgives them and acts like a great healer. It's like twin sisters who, when someone doesn't believe them and tries to belittle them, get bitten by a snake and, after an apology, act like fools and save the person, thinking they're so amazing and selfless. They have a little bit of cleverness but no real wisdom.
He hasn't even had a meal, and his family is being unfairly criticized and wronged by the whole village. And he still acts like a saint?! The book is well-written! But I didn't read it to vent my frustrations. Goodbye, sorry for bothering you!
Towards the end, the author treats everyone like idiots, which makes it seem like the protagonist has medical knowledge! Heatstroke is so rare; did the protagonist not experience it for thousands of years before time travel? Every summer, farmers get heatstroke—it's not an isolated case.
