Ninety-nine percent of the time it's an old eunuch with a new skin.
The more I look at it, the more it resembles a certain old Deng. Although I can't be sure yet, I hope it's not you, otherwise I'll definitely have to say something.
This author is a seasoned sailor! The protagonist's grandmother is practically dying of impatience, and the uncle/aunt plot hole just won't be filled. The latest chapter is just selling jellyfish and other filler content, it's been days since the last chapter was released.
Why do authors of novels about beachcombing always like to write these "repaying evil with good" plots? Someone secretly follows the protagonist's fishing route, hoping to freeload. They end up in trouble, and the protagonist, with a noble spirit, has to rescue them and clean up their mess.
There are too many upsetting things to mention, which might deter many people. This kind of writing is usually for relaxation, but this book is too realistic.
I really don't understand the point of being a village official. They're unwilling to contribute their fishing catches, nor can they establish a large collective enterprise. It would be better if they had no position at all and led some people to expand their business and become wealthy.
Pig's feet are such ingrates, treating fair-weather friends better than blood brothers, and they even love to betray their own family.
I've given up on the book.
It's heartbreaking to watch. Should we go find those uncles or not? Will the village chief be overthrown or not? Forget it, I'm not watching anymore.
The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems. It's almost identical to a book I read before. Could it be by the same author? In my previous book, I was reborn and raised seaweed, and I also had an older brother and sister-in-law. My sister-in-law also loved to cause trouble. The village secretary was also a villain.
That's too toxic, too mindless.
The protagonist has to get involved in everything. If you had an unstable life in your past life, you might as well have a more stable life in this one, but the protagonist always has to rush forward in everything.
