1985: My Era of Literature and Art

Don't spend too much time talking about how crazy readers and critics are about the protagonist's works; the reading experience for us real readers isn't good. You need to focus your energy on writing about everyday family matters. Plagiarism is just a starting point; you can't feed us plagiarism as the main course—it gets boring easily.

I've been keeping this book for a while now, so I'm subscribing to a few more chapters. Let me share my feelings. After the novel was published, too many chapters were filled with the author's self-indulgent, pretentious writing, praising how clever and amazing the novel was. These points actually made it difficult to provide readers with enough stimulation.

There's no rule that you should write novels appropriate to your age, unless it's fantasy. Otherwise, would you believe an 18-year-old writing a realistic novel like "Living" or "Yearning"?

The process of writing, submitting, publishing, and receiving positive reviews can't be repeated endlessly. Write more realistic scenes depicting the protagonist's interactions with other writers and their daily life. After all, the protagonist is a living, breathing person, not an emotionless writing machine.

Initially, the poetry in this book flowed naturally as the plot progressed, and later, as the novel itself unfolded, it felt delicate and heartfelt. The author introduced the novel through their own understanding, which was very moving in the beginning—a writing style I personally enjoyed. However, as I read on, I noticed some problems.

I don't understand why the protagonist has to write such a short book. It also needs to be consistent with the protagonist's age and background. A 17-year-old rural boy couldn't possibly write a novel about love letters and atonement.

Excellent! I love this kind of adaptation of foreign films, TV shows, and novels into Chinese. A lot of period dramas these days just copy domestic literature, which is boring. Using foreign material to enrich domestic literature is much more interesting. For this reason alone, I'm starting to follow this book. Just a small suggestion: include more slice-of-life scenes. Most people who enjoy period dramas appreciate more realistic portrayals.

Writing a book is fine, but writing poetry feels so pretentious, it's incredibly awkward...

I've been listening to audiobooks all along, and there are still a few chapters left to read. The author's writing should be concise; listening to audiobooks often feels like there's a lot of unnecessary rambling. Wanting to make the reader feel impressed is fine. But repetitive descriptions become verbose! I hope the author can make some improvements!

Grade: Food and fodder + advantage: 1. The novels adapted into the films "Love Letter" and "The Lake House" have very unique perspectives. Finally, it's not "The Herdsman" or "Romance on Lushan Mountain"! 2. It's not a diary-like narrative; at least it has some everyday elements, which is pretty good! Shortcoming:
