Don't make such a big mission out of the past.
When the protagonist started having a mission, I couldn't stand it anymore. Saving Chinese science fiction isn't as important as just adding "China" in front of it, like the men's football team! Besides, is Chinese science fiction really that bad right now that it needs your help to save it? And so what if Liu Cixin won the Hugo Award? So what if Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize?
Is the appearance of a new female lead okay?
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!
The story is readable and has echoes of 1979, but the female lead's characterization and the romantic subplot are weaknesses and poorly written. The author needs to work harder. The first female lead, Lin Fangbing, appeared as the female lead in the early stages, but was taken offline due to overwhelming reviews after the book was released.
Instead of casting Lin Fangbing, they should have cast He Qing, who is a year older than her. After all, He Qing is a woman who has acted in all four classic Chinese novels. She has a long shelf life; she's lost her baby fat and is simply unbeatable.
To be honest, it's difficult to write a story with Lin Fangbing as the female lead. There were books about Lin Fangbing and Zhang Yu before, and they all flopped. In recent years, only Zhu Lin and Gong Xue have successfully developed the genre of historical fiction.
They attack other people for no reason, and they even target Jin Yong all the time. I just don't understand. Is the mutual disdain among writers really that serious?
Bok choy
I haven't finished reading the chapter.
Highlights: The story is a typical "literary genius's wish-fulfillment" novel, nothing particularly novel, but the writing style is okay and it's readable. Criticism: Occasionally, there are some jokes that are out of touch with the times, some funny, some childish. The problem: Why write about someone like Aunt Xinghua, who is disgusting and then forgotten? It's just disgusting.
You're trying to save science fiction? Don't you know how 1980s science fiction was ultimately exploited? Being censored is the least of your worries.
The protagonist had just saved the editor-in-chief's daughter. His uncle had also died because of his daughter before his rebirth. He then submitted a manuscript to the editor-in-chief, but was suspected of many things, with people questioning his low education level and youth. They pointed out that the college entrance examination was only reinstated in 1977, and how many people in 1981 had a high level of education?
