The Red-Hot Years: I Carry a Farm with Me

Here's a brief introduction for those who haven't read the book yet. The protagonist's father died, his mother remarried, and his stepfather and half-brother beat him mercilessly. His biological mother was indifferent and even an accomplice until his predecessor died. Our protagonist, however, transmigrated with a cheat-like ability, did nothing but fish a few times, drinking from a spiritual spring while getting beaten up. 😁

What you wrote is utterly nonsensical! You should either eat it secretly or take the fish home and ask them to give you a meal because you can catch fish! What are you doing, forming gangs and fighting among the kids? You got beaten up for no reason; weren't you just asking for it?

This book is clearly aimed at masochists. The protagonist's stepbrother is like a surveillance camera planted on him; he'll jump out and torment him the moment something happens. The protagonist is already dead from the start, getting beaten up so badly he barely gets any food. It's all about torturing the protagonist for the sake of torturing him. Why even go home with a character with an alternate dimension-type cheat ability? Running away with his sister would be better than suffering.

They're young, they have the space to solve their food problems, instead of running around and waiting to die at home, I'm speechless.

Only someone with a twisted mind could read this. Most people who come to Qidian's male-oriented section are looking for lighthearted, slice-of-life, or simp-like stories.

It's incredibly poisonous. The protagonist is a masochist, a jerk, and absolutely disgusting.

In those days, if you had space, you wouldn't starve. Just run away! No one would mistake you for a spy if you were just a kid. You could run to the city, become a beggar, and maybe the local authorities would even find you a job. Even if things got really bad, you could at least expose your stepfather's wickedness. Anyway, you'd rather die out there. What's a child under 10 years old afraid of?

I read a few chapters and felt really frustrated, so I left.

He could tolerate it at first, but seeing her deliberately let her stepfather beat her, and even intentionally provoking her to beat her with excessive force, he couldn't take it anymore. When people are extremely angry, they lose their rationality; what if he beat you to death? This is probably the worst choice for the protagonist.

The author grew up in such a family, but unfortunately lacked the space to express it; otherwise, they wouldn't have written about being beaten as a child. Please forgive the author.
