A Ghost in the House

It's that "ghosts are scary, but humans are even more treacherous" trope again. Writing about ghosts would be so much easier, yet they insist on focusing on the most difficult element: "humans." Do they all really think they're that capable...?

From chapter one to over a hundred, it follows the same formula: the protagonist shortens his lifespan to catch ghosts, while the supporting character, his cousin Di, dresses up in a cool and imposing manner. Here's a joke: The female lead can't remember the main character's name, so she tries to get close to him in order to please her cousin.

I've read over 40 chapters and found it quite interesting, but I feel like you're almost killing off the main character. The Zhou family father and son, who are clueless about everything, are almost settled down with their wives and children thanks to the main character's abilities, and they're about to join some association. Meanwhile, the main character doesn't get much screen time. Or maybe I misunderstood, and the main character is Zhou Science, not that Ji guy from before.

If all else fails, just make this Zhou Kexue, this supporting character, the protagonist. He'll constantly misunderstand that this ghost was killed by a supporting character, and that ghost was caught by a supporting character. The protagonist is always going to hide.

The main character does the work, while the supporting characters show off. The writing style and concept are decent, but the plot is clichéd, and not only is it clichéd, it's also very frustrating. This kind of plot was already outdated on Qidian. The reason it became popular is entirely due to the writing style and the well-developed setting. Originally, there might have been a half-pure Xiaolong, but now it's hard to say.

Dude, you'd better write this well. Now that Sanjiang is here, you really need to prove that you have the talent to be worthy of Sanjiang.

It's pretty boring. The only redeeming qualities of the entire piece are its genre and smooth writing style. It relies solely on the word "supernatural" to attract readers, having absolutely nothing to do with the plot. You're sneaking in one reader today and another tomorrow—are you expecting readers to memorize a textbook by listening to your lectures?

After reading 50 chapters, the protagonist seems to be saving himself and his sister, but in reality, everything he does is to help his cousin show off. The author can't write without this; they might as well just hand the protagonist over to Zhou Kexue.

The protagonist claims to have a high IQ but deliberately chose the provincial university instead of Peking University to stay with his family because they were poor. Are you even human? Is this kind of plot reasonable? Even if you said that the scholarships offered by both sides were the same, and you chose the worse school because it was closer to you, I wouldn't criticize you. But you even manipulated the score. How cruel is that?

The protagonist shortens his lifespan to work, while the supporting characters make money and show off, and even get girls interested in them. Their families even get promoted! To be able to write a plot like this is truly remarkable. Moreover, the entire free period consists of this kind of plot, over seventy chapters. A divine man writes a divine book
