Chinese Entertainment: Starting with Meteor Garden

The latest plot is terrible. The male lead is like a bootlicker, desperately begging Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei to take on the female lead roles in "Chinese Paladin"... 😓 Couldn't they have chosen someone else? I don't have any soft spot for Liu Yifei; I think the male lead's interests come first, and women are secondary! Stop with the obsequious flattery! 😂 It's disgusting for the readers.

It's all just a rambling account, failing to highlight the main character at all. The character of Ximen is already unremarkable, and they didn't even bother to make the main character more charismatic. The free chapters are like this; it seems unlikely they'll be published.

Seeing the comments section full of people cursing sycophants, I really can't bear to look anymore.

I'll dedicate a chapter to this paid section to helping Hengdian's "King of Pick-ups" find someone to pick up. You're really something, forget about writing style and narrative pacing. The drama "The World's Number One" didn't even have Dong Xuan in the first place. You wrote a drama specifically for the main characters, then dragged Dong Xuan into the cast to be Huo Jianhua's love interest. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 That's amazing, bro. Who can compare to you?

The protagonist still habitually relies on others. Is this due to the author's lack of confidence, hence the protagonist's consistent behavior? From the sugar figurine incident to now, it's the same. For his own project, the director insists on hiring a high-priced outsider, and then only one actress from his own company—maybe the third or fourth female lead?—Is cast. The rest are all from Huayi Brothers. What's the point? At least arrange things with your own people first!

It's a complete piece of crap. The main character is a total simp, especially after Liu Yifei appeared; he became a total bootlicker.

Everyone in Tang Dynasty knows that their own TV station promotes its own people. How much revenue does the TV station generate? The highest revenue comes from the artists themselves, who are paid to promote people from other companies. 😜😜😜

Don't insist that Liu Yifei's Zhao Ling'er is irreplaceable. I'll ask you, could you replace Hu Ge's Li Xiaoyao? Who gave you that right? Can't Mu Tingting or Ariel Lin really replace Liu Yifei's Zhao Ling'er? I can't even tell the difference between *The Little Fairy* and *Chinese Paladin*. 😰😰

Qin Lan's storyline is nonsensical; it would have been better if she hadn't been written at all. Suddenly, a female lead appears out of nowhere—is the author just trying to make easy money?

The character development is decent, especially in matters of the heart; they're not overly complicated or hesitant. The downside is that their careers lack significant highlights and feel somewhat flat. Overall, it's worth reading; it's not the typical "simp" story.
