My Literary and Artistic Era in 1980

Isn't this just courting death? Promoting feudal superstition and encouraging illegal activities—there were plenty of tomb raiders back then. Even if you published it, it would be shut down. And plagiarism is rampant; you could copy anything from *Crossing the Guandong*, *The Grand Dyehouse*, *Going West*, even *The World's Number One*, or *Young Justice Bao*, *Detective Dee*, *Yan Shuangying*—there are tons of things you could copy. It's just speechless.

Writing Ghost Blows Out the Light in 1980? The author has absolutely no understanding of that era! Not only would he be unable to publish it, he might even face imprisonment.

After finishing the novel, one thing I noticed was that the author, Xu, and the author's name were never clearly distinguished. Another issue was the lack of the decisive and straightforward approach typical of light novels. It felt like a genuine story of an ordinary person who time-traveled to the 1980s. Your family is a nuisance, but you don't want to leave.

When I went to see Ghost Blows Out the Light, let alone in the 1980s, even in the early 1990s, being arrested and detained for a few days felt like a relief.

I don't understand the point of starting with "Ghost Blows Out the Light." The author, knowing the story would regress with each passing year, deliberately tries to outdo it. And then there's the temporary worker, the stolen bicycle, the living-with-his-wife's house, the lack of money, and the hidden pen name. I don't understand why the author is trying to show off or play dumb.

I don't quite understand. You went to the countryside after graduating high school, and it lasted ten years. You'd be almost thirty by now, right? And the rural service program ended in 1981, when it was finished nationwide. Why would someone who was reborn be in such a hurry in 1980? In those days, unless they weren't your biological children, what family wouldn't treat their child well? You suffered for ten years, and that's how your parents treated you?

Talented but can't go to university? Must rely on women? Nobody respects you.

I laughed when I got to Chapter Six and saw the protagonist writing about Ghost Blows Out the Light. Even without experiencing that era, I know that given the conservatism of the time, Ghost Blows Out the Light wouldn't have been published. It feels like the author is deliberately putting the protagonist down.

It's understandable for a novice to write like this, but how can an experienced writer produce such a terrible first three chapters?

I'm condemning this novel after just three chapters. I bet you're not going to wrap this family story up; you'll just keep using it to disgust the readers.
