Overall, the content and subject matter are quite good, though it feels set in a relatively early period. Given that the current trading method is barter, and while pastoral areas value resources more, this is still a relatively early setting. The pastoral landscape and some character portrayals are also well done. The only issue is the handling of Xie Yu's character.
Why not just let the protagonist study diligently and learn to identify herbs on his own? Why does he have to rely on a system?
Reading Notes
Having finished the latest chapter, I think it's a generally well-written book, though there are a few minor issues. First, I found Xie Yu's "rolling around" skills a bit strange. It felt like there was no way to deal with the situation after such an event, and there wasn't even a place to voice the concerns.
This book doesn't seem to be about the 1980s; it feels more like it's about the Republican era. Can anyone tell me if the grasslands were still like this in the 1980s?
The first picture shows someone stealing poisonous items; why didn't you call the police?
The synopsis of this book looks very similar to that female-oriented novel, "The Grassland Herdsman".
I feel it would be better to push the timeline further back; it feels like it's set in another parallel world. The traces of the Communist Party on the grasslands seem very weak, which sometimes confuses me. I don't know what the grasslands were like in the 1980s, so I can't really comment!
The herdsmen of 1979... Suffered even more than the educated youth sent to the countryside. They broke away from their communities and fled, but where could they go? Without letters of introduction, they couldn't get into hotels or take trains. There were no long-distance buses either; they could only hitchhike with fellow villagers, carefully concealing their wealth, constantly searching for food to exchange with them, and always wary of being arrested by the police as vagrants.
I read a romance novel with the same name. ⊹꙳ ˶˙ᵕ˙˶ ⊹꙳
I've read a few chapters and think it's very well written. It would be even better if they could catch and kill Xie Yu who escaped.
