I haven't read a realistic novel in a long time. If it weren't for the audiobook version of this novel, I probably wouldn't have read it. After reading it, I felt it was very real, like a knife piercing through life. So I used all the 17 monthly votes I had saved up for this month to vote for the author. It's a very good work, but the ratings don't match its quality. I hope the author can become very popular.
Group portrait of the eight main characters
The main characters all appear in Chapter 8, with the two female leads showcasing more exciting stories in Chapters 35 and 40 respectively.
Let me offer a few suggestions, which the author can critically consider. If they are helpful, that would be best. First, this book feels too cluttered. It includes many realistic details, but you'll find that you could remove certain parts of these details and the plot could still move forward. Too many of these kinds of details dilute the overall tightness of the plot.
Review of the first 33 chapters of "The Man in the Net": A group of brilliant people build their careers, but are stabbed in the back and their homes catch fire.
I read through these thirty-odd chapters twice in one go, and the strongest feeling I got was their realism. It felt like peeking through a crack in the door, witnessing the daily lives of those "giants" who were working themselves to the bone in tech companies twenty years ago. This book, to put it simply, is the story of a group of bright young people struggling at Weixun.
2002 Was a year worth looking back on.
2002 Is history for some, but full of memories for others. It was a year of takeoff, and it's worth looking back on.
Reality is reality, and ideals are ideals.
How far is the gap between ideals and reality?
It's so well-written, especially the parts about the power struggles in the workplace. You can almost see things that are familiar in real life; we're all caught in the web of it all.
The workplace atmosphere is very relatable, the plot is full of suspense and twists, making it very engaging to watch. I look forward to the next installment.
Various events are intertwined, things from years ago entangled with the present, like fish struggling in a net—perhaps this is what is meant by cause and effect, climbing upwards to escape the sea of suffering.
The author writes very well, the writing style is excellent, the plot flows smoothly, and the characters are well-developed. I really enjoy this book.
