I Used Pinduoduo to Make Ends Meet in the 1980s

The author should do their research before writing a historical fiction piece. A college student who became a sent-down youth is still stuck in the countryside in 1980. Those with talent would have left when the college entrance exam was reinstated in 1977, and those with connections would have returned to the city long ago. The protagonist is a descendant of sent-down youth, and in 1980, he would be at most 14 years old!

On average, each chapter contains at least one idiotic scene. Reading the next paragraph requires forgetting the previous one's context, otherwise it doesn't make sense. The graduate student character is portrayed as an old-fashioned idiot. If you don't understand that era, don't write period fiction.

With a brain like that, you shouldn't even be thinking about time travel. It's a miracle you didn't starve to death; it's like God has eyes! If you could bring back a bottle of Moutai from that era to the modern world, why would you still be poor? It's just that Moutai is too bulky to carry. You could probably make some money with silver dollars, right? That's fucking hilarious!

Dude, are you treating people like they're blind? How many molds and accessories are needed to produce everything? You're saying a machine can be made by hand, but what are you using to make it cost tens of thousands?

Many novels about time travel from modern times to the 1980s depict people living in rural areas, making a living by reselling grains and antiques. I've never seen one of them start a company or engage in high-tech ventures to make money. It's baffling that many of these characters, who have traveled between two worlds, would still engage in something as risky and with the lowest profit margin as…

Shennong tested the poisons, but he could only make it to chapter eight before being poisoned to death by it. You can try it if you don't believe me.

You've given the protagonist such an overpowered cheat code, yet he's a college student and graduate student who keeps doing stupid things. With such a ridiculous cheat, even stealing would make him rich. In my opinion, the protagonist has already become a god just by getting that broken flashlight, transcending the three realms and beyond the five elements.

No, you're recommending this kind of idiotic article?

Well, sending 2024 machinery to 80 years ago using a cheat-like ability—that's incredibly audacious and brainless. Basically, someone with that kind of audacity would be arrested within days. How do you explain a madman from a poor mountain village possessing such high-tech gadgets? It's rare to find a time-travel novel with such a brainless plot. And to be so entangled with a married woman in that era—that's truly fearless!

How do you explain the unclear origins of the equipment the protagonist acquired in the 1980s? Has the author thought of that yet?
