Why include a system and a control panel? It looked alright at first glance, but it's like finding a fly in your food—utterly disgusting. Also, the writing is okay; just use appropriate descriptions, no need for constant showing off. The overly literary style is a pain to read.
I've only read ten chapters and found quite a few points of contention. Some people commented that the protagonist is sentimental and that his desire for the hairpin is shallow and disgusting. I myself don't feel very comfortable looking at it. I think the reason my grades are bad is because of this problem. I've read several copies of Dream of the Red Chamber.
The writing is excellent, and the garden scenes are also quite good, but the plot progresses too slowly and is a bit too detailed. The main character and the sisters only spend a few days together, and Daiyu alone misunderstands and gets angry several times, with the main character making various apologies and attempts to coax her.
Lin Daiyu was, after all, a talented woman from Jiangnan, yet she kept calling herself "little girl," giving off a strong Northeastern accent.
It's well-written, but the backgrounds of Wu Sangui and the protagonist are disgusting, like a piece of chocolate with a bit of poop inside. I really don't understand why they would write such a background.
Seeing books where 6- or 7-year-olds are already as beautiful as angels, or 7- or 8-year-olds are unbelievably handsome, is just... Anyone around 12 years old could barely read it! Do you know what a "yellow-haired toddler" is? It's someone like this at 6- or 7 years old!
The writing is good, but the portrayal of the protagonist is always "sleazy." It would be better if the plot were more open and straightforward. He always seems to have never seen a woman before. This is not sleazy, but rather the author's self-analysis.
It got tiresome after a while. Setting the protagonist's age was completely unnecessary. The feeling of an undeveloped elementary school student versus a high school student is utterly pointless. Second, perhaps because the protagonist is young, he's constantly fawning over Wang Xifeng. He doesn't dare offend Wang Xifeng but dares to threaten Aunt Xue.
This is the most detailed version of *Dream of the Red Chamber*, and this level of detail gives it a more realistic feel, allowing readers to truly appreciate the characters' joys and sorrows. Compared to most other *Dream of the Red Chamber* novels, it's like the difference between 4K and 1080p. As long as the plot doesn't fall apart, I'll definitely give it a 5-star rating. Monthly votes already cast.
It's disgusting. The author is not only pretentious and artsy, but also arrogant.
