Having read many fanfictions about *Dream of the Red Chamber*, I've noticed that many male protagonists are solely focused on winning over Xue Baochai, going to great lengths to please and clean up the messes of the Xue family. It's disgusting to watch. Aren't the other female characters more appealing? Why do they have to fawn over the Xue family?
I don't know why you saved Jia Rui. Are you having a sudden burst of saintly compassion? He brought this on himself, and you insist on playing the good guy. It's disgusting.
In Chapter One, Jia Cong calls his father "Dad." (This is a terrible article.)
Throughout the entire novel *Dream of the Red Chamber*, wealthy and powerful nobles (with official ranks) never call their fathers "Dad"; they all address them as "Master." This demonstrates that the author was illiterate about *Dream of the Red Chamber* and simply wrote nonsense… utter garbage.
Are Qin Shi and Jia Zhen truly in love? Did You Shi enjoy eavesdropping? What was the author thinking? Giving the protagonist martial prowess to pursue a civil service career? Given the author's world setting, the emperor doesn't seem to fear or dislike the Jia family. Having military power and joining the army is the proper path to becoming a noble.
That's ridiculous... And even if Jia Zong were reborn, what difference would it make? His ingrained class-based thinking means any changes he makes will remain the same. The Jia family's downfall stemmed from their lack of political power in the court. Grandmother Jia was their sole pillar of support, their only hope.
I read the latest chapter. All I can say is that it's ridiculous. It's pointless.
Logic...
Does *Dream of the Red Chamber* need logic? No, it doesn't. Even nobles are divided into different ranks. The top three ranks of generals, with enough military achievements, can immediately be promoted to earl or marquis. If their state is destroyed, they have the opportunity to regain the title of duke, and this title can be passed down for generations without demotion.
The author is truly amazing; having written seven novels and only reaching level one, that's incredible!
How to avoid it? It's simple: just become the emperor.
Something's not right. It's almost 300,000 words and still not available for purchase. I'm going to check it out and see how it fares. I'll leave a follow-up review later.
