Period: Starting in the 1950s

While feeding the little boy candy, she touched his mouth and imagined him eating his own mother's food bag. Even I, a psychopath, think it's incredibly perverted. Luckily, no one was next to me when I was listening to the audiobook; the free trial period definitely made sense.

Dude. What was with those first ten chapters? Your wife got stolen, and by your older brother no less! You got cheated out of your apartment allocation, then you moved to a new place and got threatened with a gun? That's it? I know those kinds of things happened back then, but you're writing a novel, the plot serves the protagonist. What were you doing writing all that? Just to show how pathetic the protagonist is?

This doesn't align with my values. Just focus on writing your book; why are you always thinking about being the neighbor? We're almost in the cultural age, and you're still using things like stepbeds, Simmons mattresses, latex mattresses, and foreign language books? You're just wasting your time. Stop writing about the "neighbor Wang" trope!

I felt something was off when I got to chapter 15, so I quickly read the book reviews. No, such good writing, and you just write it like this? The opening scene on the train was pretty good, but the tone changed drastically after the train was disembarked. I originally thought the protagonist would be vengeful, but this is what he is?

The beginning was genuinely good, the writing flowed smoothly, and the characters and events were handled with ease, making it a comfortable read. It wasn't drawn out or filled with unnecessary words. But the introduction of the system in chapter 12 was awkward and disgusting! I couldn't continue reading. Moving house and shopping online for seasonings and ingredients?

My suggestion is to do two quick exercises before writing, let the worms settle in, and then start writing. People call it being romantic or inspiring, but yours is just pure brainwashing.

I glanced at the author's description at the beginning. Let's briefly analyze this so-called family relationship, which is a predicament that the author's intellectual limitations cannot resolve. First of all, this protagonist is the eldest son of the Tang family, which means that his mother was once a prostitute.

The story begins with the protagonist being cheated on and exploited. On the first day after moving out, his door is kicked open and he's nearly shot at gunpoint. Afterwards, he cheerfully clears up the misunderstanding by serving tea and taking responsibility for the damage. The protagonist thinks it's all just bad luck and that there's nothing wrong with it.

In those days, counter-espionage was taken very seriously, but the protagonist was preoccupied with his personal life, having an affair with a female enemy agent. Plus, he was fluent in foreign languages, with a room full of foreign books – a sure path to his demise. You think this is a spy drama where they investigate thoroughly and find evidence before making arrests?

He persevered until he was almost shot, and then the story just fizzled out. The author deliberately portrayed the protagonist as a complete coward. Case closed.
