Reborn: My Eighties

Two points to make. First, it must be admitted that the author is a good writer. The pacing in the early stages is excellent, and the exciting moments are genuinely satisfying. It has also been recommended more than once. This is a novel that is well worth reading.

1. Chen Yajun, the protagonist helped him get on the right track, but others immediately wanted to use the mold given by the protagonist to start their own business. You could have just cut off contact with him, but instead you wrote a story about giving someone a thousand yuan to save his niece's surgery money, claiming it was to save her first (in the end it only cost a little over 200 yuan)…

The beginning is good, with satisfying moments. You might feel something's off in the middle, but you can still continue reading. Then, in the mid-2024 episodes, it suddenly poisons you, there's no escaping it, and you're instantly killed! What the author did is rare on Qidian (a Chinese online forum), and even now, some people who were affected by it still frequently come back to read the post and take the opportunity to criticize it.

I'll mess with your ex-girlfriend, ruin your business, and get involved with your target girlfriend. They'll use all sorts of methods to mess with you, frame you, and try to kill you. Why keep this kind of person around for the New Year? Your name is Our Lady?

Holy crap, I've been watching football for twenty years and I've never been hurt by such a toxic plot. I really fell for it yesterday. **** (Omitting a thousand words of profanity).

It's extremely addictive. The college entrance exam results are released, and the protagonist, who studied for a month, gets the highest score in the city. However, the results aren't posted. When he goes to the teacher and the education bureau to argue, he gets kicked out. Finally, inexplicably, the principal announces that he got his academic record taken away because he did too well.

Over 400 chapters already! A Peking University graduate student with such a high starting point is still stuck in a low-level position like a neighborhood committee office. Any neighborhood committee director could easily manipulate him. Even during a special era with a sudden cold snap, this protagonist, who's powerful and has connections and can earn foreign exchange, is still incredibly weak. The author is truly amazing; I can't read any further.

There's absolutely no sense of immersion. He's constantly trying to be clever, and even now, let alone in that era, everyone would be annoyed by someone like that. He basically gives off the impression of "I'm reborn, I'm awesome, and everyone else is an idiot."

What the hell?! You got accused of speculation and profiteering while in college?! Do you even know what that means? If it were proven true, your life would be ruined! And you, instead of dealing with the accuser, beat him up and that's it? Did you have a high fever as a kid?

He persevered until chapter 90, when someone tried to blackmail the protagonist, then tried to torture him to death. The protagonist beat the person up, met them again with a smile, and that was it, waiting to be tormented again. The protagonist even gave the person who betrayed him a thousand, and the betrayal was over.
