A Healing Novelist? No, a Heartbreaking One!

Honestly, I don't understand why so many people are praising "The Poor Man's Two Thousand Years of History." I've been reading novels for over ten years, and some novels become inexplicably popular and get a lot of hype, but when I read them myself, I really don't feel anything. The plots are old-fashioned, the character designs aren't great, and they even feel awkward.

I haven't read Dragon Raja. Is Dragon Raja very popular? His description seems exaggerated.

Let's summarize the book's advantages and disadvantages. Let's start with the advantages. This is a pure plagiarism novel, unlike other novels by the same author who always likes to mix in some weird entertainment industry stuff. The book is very pure, just plagiarism, and the choice of books to plagiarize is not bad either. There's a "Poor Ghost's 2000 Years" and a "No Longer Human".

To be honest, he's either a serious writer or an online novelist; he writes neither kind of thing well. 😓

I started reading it after reading the synopsis and it seemed good, but I couldn't keep going after chapter 182. Shen Yue, originally just an ordinary class beauty, seemed destined for little screen time, merely a plot device. Who would have thought she'd appear for over 180 chapters, receiving considerable attention?

The story is heavily formulaic, with a poor protagonist dragging out dozens of chapters, and the editor's pretentious act is too simplistic and illogical. It's purely written using the feel-good, feel-good story trope, relying on a formulaic template. The protagonist's character isn't very likable either. However, the author does have a lot of witty banter, which makes it somewhat entertaining. But by the time I reached "No Longer Human," it felt almost entirely formulaic and lacked originality.

😅 What a classic routine! Furthermore, while being poor is certainly good, it's not so good that it requires dozens of chapters of build-up. To put it bluntly, in reality, if you try to show off this in a Chinese literature major, people will look at you with pity.

The main storyline is progressing too slowly. Write fewer inexplicable female characters and more books. I came to see how you become depressed, not to see you fall in love.

It's boring. I hate protagonists who hide their true selves. Look at real-life authors who write depressing stories; they're eager to become famous. But the protagonists in these books seem to be ashamed of their own existence. Why do they need to create alternate accounts? There's no enjoyment in it at all.

The synopsis of this novel feels as absurd as seeing Twilight win the Nobel Prize in Literature in real life. 🤭
