I Became a Jack-of-All-Trades in Republican-Era China

What constitutes a "pleasure point," what constitutes a "toxic point," and what constitutes "watery content" are often unclear. This book is a historical novel with a traditional and slice-of-life style. Because it is set in a relatively recent era, I have categorized it as an urban novel.

Well written. During the Republic of China era, we were still an agricultural society, and the descriptions of digging irrigation ditches are excellent. This is the style; there's no need to change it based on anyone's opinions. Some people become famous by catering to the market and their worthless readers, while others achieve fame by forging their own path.

Several questions about online novels have been troubling me, and I find them incredibly fantastical. Can anyone offer some answers? (Please note that I am only confused because of my personal thinking style and reading interests. As a writer, I also want to try to broaden my increasingly stubborn mindset and narrow perspective. There is absolutely no intention to belittle anyone!)

The author starts with the premise of "I become my grandfather," a somewhat silly setup. I initially thought this premise would lead to some plot development, but it didn't. It was just a way for the author to indulge his pretentious, artsy side, having the protagonist grapple with philosophical questions.

The supernatural part is indeed a bit far-fetched, and as for the Republican era atmosphere... That's also a bit far-fetched... The previous book by the great writer of the Republican era was also quite interesting in the beginning. Anyway, I personally think that the supernatural and the real Republican era are in conflict. If it were to be written, the Republican era style of Tianxia Bachang would also be acceptable.

I've read quite a few of the author's comments, and your whole piece seems to be a rant: "Why can't this market and readers cater to me? My writing is flawless, it's fantastic!" Then someone offers a suggestion that your resume isn't good enough, and you start making sarcastic remarks. You need to understand that those who don't need to cater to readers have a large fan base.

The more I write, the more disgusting it gets. Deliberately complicating simple matters is just another form of intellectual deflation. They're the biggest landlords, with men and guns, yet they pretend to be clever, playing the fool and biding their time, while the bandits and warlords can't even see it. Dropping the book!

It's well-written! But the character is still stuck at age 12 in the latest chapter! I really can't read any further!

You still want to write prophecies? It's not like you're not going to live in this world anymore. If you dare to write prophecies, the government will investigate you for fifty or a hundred years, eliminating one person after another until you are found out.

Even I, someone without a medical background, know how to prepare some area-of-effect insecticides, I don't believe you don't... Moreover, some simple and effective methods can accomplish this, not to mention, in Japanese cities of that era, trying to use poison and fire would have resulted in widespread destruction... Have you been watching too many American movies?
