Everything else is fine, but the protagonist seems to see everyone as a big shot. One comment is fine, but what's the point of constantly writing that? And the protagonist has absolutely no ambition. What's the point of reading literary masterpieces? Just to see the protagonist copying books and showing off?
The protagonist's personality is unlikable. If the goal is to become famous by writing critical novels, then at least the protagonist should be confident and not be as timid and hesitant to admit his mistakes, whining like a sissy. The main character's family background was also portrayed in a very fussy way, and the siblings didn't really contribute much to the main plot.
The title alone kills any desire to read it; it gives off a feeling of utter nonsense.
The overall feeling is very jarring, both in the text and the content.
The book title should be changed to "Literary Master 1978: This Succubus Came from Northeast China"
As the title suggests, I feel that the current title is far less compelling than the main text. The main text is truly a unique piece of writing by a literary master that I've seen in recent years; it's not a dry plagiarism, but a novel with well-developed character arcs. If it stays this way, I'll subscribe to all of them. If you change the book title, I feel my grades could improve even further.
Is the author a foreigner? Japanese? Judging from the dialogue in the text, it seems like a foreigner is writing a Chinese novel, and in a Japanese style at that. It feels a bit awkward.
The conversation was a bit awkward.
It doesn't sound like spoken language; it's hard to imagine modern people speaking like this. The author could try reading it themselves.
The colloquialisms and dialogue made me uncomfortable; it was supposed to be a good novel!
The author has searched the world, past and present, both Chinese and foreign, and wondered if there really were ordinary people speaking such everyday language. If someone truly speaks like this, I believe they could be a scholar or a great scholar; but if everyone speaks like this, I cannot agree with it.
Written in the early morning of the last day of January
1978: The Writer Begins with Misunderstanding As its name suggests, the author, whether in writing or in real life, has been destined to be "misunderstood." Poor Jun'an lives wherever he is, constantly accused of criticism and harboring hidden meanings. Here's a quote from the original text: "Respecting personal opinions, yet not a single word was listened to."

This is so wordy and rambling; it's really annoying to read. 💀
