For Readers Out of Books to Read
I’ve been reading novels for over ten years, and there are fewer and fewer books that really grab me and keep me reading. Some great books are easy to find, while others get overlooked because they don’t perform well. In my spare time, I search the endless sea of stories for hidden gems. Sometimes I stumble across books so bad they’re downright painful to read, but I still enjoy the hunt. The reason is simple: as a longtime bookworm, having nothing to read in my free time is even worse than gett

The main character is named Shen Taidi, and he's always arguing with everyone and everything. He doesn't care about life or entertainment; he only loves to bury himself in acting. The teachings of sages must not be stopped, and any personal insights they offer are always astonishing. We're not afraid of offending the entire industry, because we're the ones who can cheat the system.
The protagonist is pretty stupid.
A plagiarist who steals other people's hard-earned money 🐶, spending all day on his show preaching values and stuffing his own agenda into people's mouths. Do you even deserve to be called a liar?
This is garbage, utterly toxic. He's all talk and no action, suddenly hard when he should be soft, and spineless when he should be hard. The character is portrayed as a madman, practically a male version of Zheng Shuang. They're blatantly smuggling in their own agendas, yet they don't dare to be completely assertive. Having read so many of your books, this one is utter garbage, even worse than some new authors.
They're promoting their own agenda again! Should we argue about Cao Yunjin and Guo Degang by taking sides? Cao Yunjin has definitely been arrogant; he hasn't denied it! Guo Degang's apprentices have all come out to explain why he charges tuition fees: they're just using his nominal vocational school teaching qualifications! You only need to learn the skills, no diploma required, no money charged!
To be honest, I abandoned three books in a row before, but this book is a change that I am very satisfied with. One of them is about variety shows. I really like writing about variety shows, but there are very few well-written ones, and even those that are just average are very rare. So far, the writing has been quite good. The key point is...
This protagonist is exactly like Gao Xiaosong – a greasy, self-important man who takes other people's ideas, thinks he's superior, and then stands on a moral high ground to criticize others. In historical fields he doesn't understand, he insists on showing off his knowledge, pretending to know everything but only scratching the surface, then summarizing seemingly brilliant but actually absurd…
Qidian is getting worse every year. The author is clearly writing nonsense to disgust the readers, and yet this still gets recommended.
There are so many people attacking me. Is there anyone else who thinks the writing is alright, like I do?
There aren't many truly outstanding entertainment industry novels by Wu Yuzi, and yet a bunch of people are relentlessly attacking his relatively better ones. I've read all of Da Jinmao's books, and I've also read quite a few from Qidian and other platforms. They're either about rebirth in 2000 or pure variety show novels.
Be careful when writing about actresses born after 1995; don't let the female lead's career collapse or even get banned halfway through.
This book is just too paternalistic, hypocritical, and acts like a mad dog. Actually, it's not really this book, and the next one will probably be no different.
