The Spring Blossoms of the Red Chamber

There are too many fanfictions about women in Dream of the Red Chamber. Many authors don't even understand the ancient feudal system before writing about women. A bunch of authors just randomly write about taking women everywhere, like some young punk. They completely disregard the women and only care about their own pleasure.

The writing is good. As for the plot, most readers complain that the protagonist is not doing his job and spends his days indulging in women. However, considering that it is the beginning of a new book and the plot is just getting started, it is not appropriate to criticize too much.

The Xue family, to put it nicely, were one of the four great families and imperial merchants, but they were just a merchant family, not the richest of them all. Moreover, Xue Baochai lost her father at a young age, her brother was embroiled in a murder case, she herself suffered from heatstroke, and being from a merchant family, she had almost accumulated all the negative effects.

After all, he's not Bao Yu, who doesn't seek fame or fortune, yet spends all his time fooling around with a bunch of women. We've been watching for ages and he still hasn't even arrived at the examination hall. Also, can we please stop acting like some kind of behind-the-scenes mastermind, constantly chasing after women and then claiming he's not that kind of person?

Very strong, I would call you the strongest new book in the Dream of the Red Chamber series so far.

Nice or not?

I just don't understand why you insisted on sending back the maid who originally followed you. To put it bluntly, there was no build-up whatsoever. She'd been with you since childhood without any merit, only suffering in prison. You got Xiangling, and after only a couple of days, you rushed to kick her out. She's a real piece of work.

I don't know why everyone's praising the writing style; I don't see it. The first 80 chapters were also unclear, and the main plot is vague. They manage to stretch dozens of chapters into a simple restaurant scene with all sorts of irrelevant ramblings.

The recent chapters are too weak. Many things that could be glossed over are described in detail. The protagonist's promotion process and schemes should be subplots to support the main plots of the garden drama and the various female characters. Readers come in because of the title. Don't you know what they want to see?

The protagonist is quite cunning; calling him a villain is too kind. He's a hypocrite, even worse than Jia Baoyu.
