A speculative CP novel with red-mansion skin and imperial examination skin, full of flavor
I have had nothing to do recently, and I wanted to see if the follow-up direction of this book is consistent with my previous judgment, so I flipped through the book again and saw about 190 chapters. I found that all my previous judgments were in place. It is indeed a typical female video. To be honest, the emotional warmth of the women in the Red Mansion and some of the characters in this book are pretty good. After all, the book Red Mansions has very rich characters. As long as you have read The Red Mansions, and there is AI-assisted polishing, it is not difficult to write the characters in the Red Mansions so-so. In terms of daily writing, Daiyu is sensitive and suspicious, Baochai is cold inside and hot outside, Wang Xifeng is fierce and strong, Jia Mu is sympathetic to the old and cherishes the poor, and Jia Baoyu is ignorant and crazy. These general characters are passable. It doesn't have the same problems as those overly violent Red Mansions novels, nor did the protagonist Long Aotian deliberately make Jia Muwang's wife Jia Baoyu look like she has cerebral palsy and dementia for the sake of plot development. If you are more attached to the original work and don't want to read the stallion magic novels in the starting point, use this book as a meal replacement to see their daily life and their garden drama. You can read it in a so-so way. But that's it. This author's garden play only imitates the form of Red Mansions. It has no plot advancement, no character creation, and no literal metaphors like Red Mansions. It is at most a simulation fun for fans of the original work. It's boring to read too much, so it's better to go back and read the original work. Other than that, this book is almost full of surprises. The first big surprise is that the author's understanding of Red Mansions is probably only through roughly reading the original book and watching the TV series, and that's it. So the characters in the Red Mansion have their own form but not their origin. It can be said that I have no understanding of the textual details of The Red Chamber, the etiquette and etiquette of that era, and the historical and political context. For example, the protagonist is a descendant of the Jia family (the same generation as Baoyu, Jia Rong has to call him uncle). When Qin Keqing saw the protagonist, he actually called him brother Jing instead of uncle. The author later explained that because Qin Keqing was a child as the protagonist, he was not so polite. This is entirely based on the relationship between today's small families to speculate on the etiquette of ancient large families. What is even more outrageous is that Qin Keqing also calls Jia Zhen "Uncle Zhen", which is simply jaw-dropping. Daiyu also calls the protagonist "Geer", while the protagonist and Baoyu call Lin Daiyu and directly call her by her maiden name "Daiyu". This is a complete lack of understanding of the etiquette and etiquette of the Red Mansion era. We cannot call girls by their given names easily, especially among peers. Generally, men and women in the Red Mansion Grand View Garden call each other "Sister Lin", "Sister Lin", "Brother Bao", "Brother Bao", "Brother Bao". There is basically no place where they call each other directly "Daiyu" and "Baochai". Calling one's best name in front of one's peers at that time was equivalent to drawing a line or condescending humiliation, but in the book people do it naturally, which shows how far the author is separated from the context of the times. The second problem is the ignorance of the ancient clan marriage system. The author actually asked Wang Xifeng to think about whether Yingchun should be matched with the protagonist, a descendant of the Jia family. This is also a common problem among many Red Mansions fans writing about the children of the Jia family - they have no idea that it was a mandatory law at that time not to marry within the same clan. According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, anyone who marries an unsubmissive relative of the same clan or a wife who does not submit to the same clan will be punished with a hundred sticks each and divorced. What is "unfaithful marriage"? He is a distant cousin from the fifth server. As long as you are still in the same ancestral hall and worship the same ancestor, even if the blood relationship has become so distant that there is no need to mourn, the law still strictly prohibits intermarriage. Violators of the marriage and both men and women will be punished. If you write that the protagonist is an orphan of the royal family, or that the world is in chaos, etiquette is lost, and the Jia family is destroyed, it will be so-so, so you can give it a try. But as the plot progresses, the world is at peace, the Jia family is prosperous, and Wang Xifeng, a young lady in charge of the house, even if she has never read a book, can she be so ignorant that she doesn't even know the etiquette, and can she imagine how to bring Yingchun and the protagonist together? To put it bluntly, many readers of fan fiction ignore the importance of not marrying in the hearts of noble girls from aristocratic families. Just like today, no matter how outstanding the cousins around you are, you only admire them most. Will you fall in love with them inexplicably? Definitely not. But many Red Mansion Internet articles basically ignore this point, and just welcome the Spring Festival. They especially like to write about Tan Chun's unrequited love for the protagonist, and then the protagonist either deliberately pretends to be vague and refuses to welcome her, or else he is a bully who plays with the taboo of having an affair. This way of writing is completely illogical - how could a noble lady in the feudal era fall in love with the male protagonist inexplicably when she sees an outstanding man, regardless of etiquette and ethics? As for the career line of the protagonist, it is basically impossible to watch, with all kinds of surprises. The emperor uses a "leaderless group interview" to choose the prince's companion, and the protagonist uses a "variety show game" to get the emperor's attention. The protagonist is the prince's companion, and the prince and the protagonist develop feelings for each other inexplicably. He even sneaks out of the palace to meet the protagonist, just like watching an ancient puppet show between a boy and a boy. The twelve-year-old protagonist is inexplicably valued by the emperor and participates in military and state affairs. The logic of the entire plot is that of an ancient puppet show, downgrading the feudal imperial succession system into a modern workplace talent show. If the author writes about the plot of Red Mansions, it's just that there are too many highlights, but you can still read it if you hold your nose. The plot of the plot and the court part are so childish that people with a little knowledge of ancient history and politics cannot stand it. So when I saw the back part, I was a little doubtful about how the author wrote the imperial examination part in the front. Was it written by AI? Or did you borrow it from other books? According to common sense, if a person knows something about imperial examinations, he should not be so funny in writing about political intrigues. In short, this novel is a typical online novel that uses the skins of red buildings and imperial examinations to write the core of an ancient puppet show. If you like to watch female ancient puppet dramas, you might want to watch it and see how the protagonist writes Bao Daichai who lives in the ancient puppet drama (although there is a high probability that she can't write it well). But if you want to see a real plot with the flavor of Red Mansions, if you want to read imperial examination essays, officialdom essays, power plot essays for history lovers, and how the protagonist maneuvers his way to the top, then I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Because the author has absolutely no literacy in this area. This article can be said to be a cool article, but it is not a cool article, and a novice article is not a novice article. It is written seriously, but the skills are not enough. When it is written about Red Mansions, the details are full of flaws. I can only say that this author wants to burn more incense for Cao Xueqin and go to see Cao's former residence in Huangye Village, Xiangshan Mountain, Beijing. Thank you, Mr. Cao, for giving you a bowl of rice, and thank Mr. Cao for writing the characters so that you can make some money.
A book with distinctive features, but a slow pace and a lot of plot points.
The pacing of this book is poor, the main plot is unclear, and the protagonist has a weak and sensitive character. It is covered with the Red Mansion cover and the Imperial Examination paper, but there are many flaws in the Red Mansion knowledge and the Imperial Examination knowledge. It is probably a book written by a female author. It has obvious female traces. She is good at writing small emotions, but she does not know the specific historical details. Let me talk about a few historical details. The first one is that the protagonist's father was a scholar, a former rookie of the Jia family, and he was familiar with Jia Zheng, and Jia's mother was also concerned about it. However, he was inexplicably killed near the capital. The government did not respond, and the Jia family did not know. There is also a side branch of the protagonist. After just saying a few words, Wang Xifeng lets the protagonist live in Rongguo Mansion. According to common sense, shouldn't it be handed over to Jia Zhen, who will step in and live temporarily in Ningrong Street? If you want the protagonist to enter the Rongguo Mansion, at least wait until the protagonist shows his talents. The second problem is that the book is called Red Mansion, but it seems to be selling the book like a sheep. Except for Wang Xifeng and Qingwen, the characters in the Red Mansion are basically facial makeup, without characterization of the characters, and there are also problems with the details of the knowledge of the Red Mansion. For example, the author believes that after Daiyu entered Jia's house, Baochai followed her into Jia's house not long after. Also, before the Grand View Garden was built, the author let Yingchun live in the Lotus Champs out of thin air. I feel that the author has a very superficial understanding of the Red Mansion, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to write about the characters in the Red Mansion and the intricate relationships within the Jia family. Besides, he writes about issues related to the imperial examination. The imperial examination he wrote is very similar to the senior year life of today's middle school students, with many unreasonable plots. For example, an instructor (suspected to be a high school teacher) appeared who led them to high-intensity physical training. There was a dormitory. There was also a situation where a private school teacher asked students to change seats, which seemed very dramatic. Like using red building leather or historical leather to write a high school campus. The author repeatedly emphasizes that Daiyu is the heroine, but the first 200,000 words barely describe Daiyu except her visit to Jia's house. And the author wrote another one. When she first met the male protagonist, she claimed that she would be the first female protagonist to join the cabinet as a female general in an ancient dynasty. Moreover, this female protagonist was not familiar with the male protagonist, so she asked the male protagonist to help him do things. If she couldn't do it, she would deal with the male protagonist and be extremely arrogant towards him. This makes me feel that this book was written by a female author. The author has taken on the role of the female protagonist, and the male protagonist is like the heroine's honest and honest second man, solving all kinds of troubles for her. Another big problem is that the author has poor plot control. He only writes about the details of the imperial examination and not much about plot conflicts. She was so excited that she wrote an original heroine. Later, when everyone objected, she regretted it and said she would not write this heroine again. Obviously, Daiyu was put on the homepage of this novel as a character card from the beginning, but later she asked why everyone paid so much attention to Lin. There is a kind of person who obviously wants to eat Daiyu's traffic, but also wants to pretend that he is an original writer. I have a high level of style. It seems that she doesn't understand the selling point of her online article The biggest advantage of this book is that it is more delicate and tender in the detailed description and some words and sentences. It is refreshing in today's red mansion novels that are completely about stallions' harems. But there are many problems with this book, and the author's writing skills are not strong enough. I am not optimistic about the future of this book.
The latest chapter is complete nonsense
1. The protagonist's surname is Jia, and he marries a daughter of the Jia family? Sisters from the same clan? Do you understand if you don't get married if you have the same surname? Especially such a large family with the same origin. The author really thinks about it. The original female character was disgusting enough before, but now she comes again? What a waste of my points.
Why do these red houses always like original heroines🤔
Shennong sticker
I don't recommend reading it, this book is like sugar-coated shit. At the beginning, the plot of the impoverished protagonist studying hard in order to change his destiny, coupled with the author's decent writing style, is still very attractive for people to read. But as the plot develops, the author's shallowness is exposed. When he writes about Red Mansions, do you think he writes about garden opera? This line has been broken again and again since the beginning of the novel. The emotional line between Daiyu and the protagonist is also sudden and inexplicable. She and Baochai combined are not as detailed as Qingwen alone. I don't know, but I think Qingwen is the real heroine. There is no trace of Baoqin Miaoyu, and in the new chapter, the emperor is dead and the concubine Daguanyuan proposes marriage. The plot of the original novel cannot be more collapsed. If the Yuanzi opera does not include a protagonist who studies, does it mean that he takes the imperial examination or officialdom? Not necessarily. The plot of the protagonist's study is all briefly mentioned. His classmates and teachers in the same year, poetry and literary meetings, articles and articles to become famous are not mentioned or described in detail until he is a Jinshi in the middle school. The protagonist is given the character of a young Jinshi genius, but it does not appear that he has any reputation among scholars and officials. The latest chapters are too lazy to read. The author has never read Red Mansions, and his understanding of traditional culture and Confucianism is limited to a marketing account. What he wrote neither has the flavor of Red Mansions nor does it look like an imaginary historical text. With more than three hundred chapters, let alone the readers, the author himself probably doesn't even know what he wrote. The words are meaningless, useless, empty and boring, and the writing has no literary flair.
In the first chapter, the author's pants are leaking. The protagonist not only answered the question incorrectly, but also called the Duke by his first name. Jia Hao also addressed the Duke by his first name, which was illogical but well-educated. He came to beg for food and directly spit in the face of the most distinguished Duke of the Jia family. Go to Rongxi Hall and shout Jia Daishan in front of Jia Mu. See if Jia Mu will give you two big dicks. In this way, the servants of the Jia family think that the protagonist is polite, but they can't even think about it and want to die. My family's land was taken away. Is the Jia family just a decoration? Do you think the family is just a decoration? The land was taken away. My parents died. I came to beg Jia's family. He still talked like this. It must be that his father and mother were like this, so the family didn't care. The author is someone who has never read novels, TV series, or textbooks. He has no logic, little knowledge, and lacks tutoring.
Was it a female author? No wonder. Basically, you have to step through all the pits that should be stepped on.

It is convenient for me to read and it is also convenient for everyone to communicate. You are right. The likes are clear at a glance and I can also see clearly. I know it is an important issue. I would also like to ask for help. Everyone can feel it. I am an old and new author, and I have read very few historical texts. So if you think which book I have read can best make up for my shortcomings, please post it as soon as possible. I studied it all night. Thank you very much.
The prelude is too long and I can't stand it. I'm here to see you rise step by step in the imperial examination, not to watch you talk a lot of nonsense. Where is the imperial examination until now? Judging from your writing style, it takes two to three hundred chapters to become a scholar. It's a garbage book.
The original female characters are not well written. Brother, if you can't write, just don't write, okay?
