Treasure Hunting: Starting as a Small-Town Explorer

I couldn't continue after chapter 15. It's clear the purpose of this part of the plot was just to recruit a subordinate, but he didn't get the 100 gold from the treasure, and even lost 35 gold himself. He also used the bounty to exchange for the dwarf's wanted poster.

It feels like everyone else has knowledge, but the protagonist lacks it; the rewards are meager, the gains are ordinary, and the protagonist is forced to be incredibly powerful.

I thought treasure hunting movies like *Tomb Raider*, *Uncharted*, *Indiana Jones*, *The Mummy*, and *The Da Vinci Code* were the perfect fit. The treasure hunt in the book "Lost and Found" I've read a few chapters, and the subject matter is good, but I personally feel it's a bit too mundane, like the auto-pathfinding quest flow in browser games—go from point A to point B, collect a reward, and…

For treasure hunting stories, the author could refer to "Treasure Hunter, Sailing the Blue Sea".

When I was a child, I used to wander aimlessly through the mountains and fields near my hometown, almost getting bitten by snakes, almost drowning, and almost falling to my death, but I never had any extraordinary encounters.

First and foremost, the book's theme is very clear: treasure hunting. Everything serves the purpose of finding the treasure. However, personally, I felt that all the other plot points felt cheap and perfunctory. Those who enjoy treasure hunting stories might want to check it out.

The premise is fresh, and the first three chapters are pretty good. My personal advice is, if you can't write romance, don't bother writing it to avoid getting criticized and losing readers.

I don't understand why we need to team up; solo adventures are much more fun.

I've finished reading it. It's good; it's well-written for beginners. The problems are as follows: First, the process of exploration and treasure hunting is too brief, lacking the excitement of treasure hunting and the surprise of discovering history, which is what attracts me most to this type of book. However, the author's descriptions are still acceptable.

What's the point of living if you can't eat or drink? I'd rather not have sex than not be able to eat and drink. 😎
