Is the White Dragon King your father? Why are you praising him so much? You even created a character specifically for him and made the protagonist his follower. Does this help with the excitement or the plot?
I've tried reading this novel several times, but I just can't get into it. It feels like the author didn't do any research when writing it. The screenwriter's fee was 10 million, and the novel was paid 5 yuan per word, which was impossible back then. It reads like a fantasy novel.
In the 1980s, who paid screenwriters that much? Wong Ying's script for *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* cost 50,000 HKD, and the screenwriters earned 800 HKD per episode. That was during the fierce competition between TVB and RTV, when everyone was vying for talent. Wong Jing must have just joined Shaw Brothers then.
It's a Hong Kong entertainment novel from over a decade ago, but it still has a lot of charm when you read it now.
How did such a righteous and noble protagonist survive?
The protagonist is a bit dim-witted, has no connections, and no fighting skills. It's hard to imagine how he survived in 1980s Hong Kong...
What is this writing? The first three chapters are a mess, how am I supposed to continue? Garbage!
I thought the beginning was alright, but after hearing from others that it was a dual transmigration story, I skipped through some parts and it was truly disgusting. Near the end, it felt like they were feeding the readers shit; there was no enjoyment whatsoever. I can't think of any other reason for designing this plot except to force the reader to eat shit at the end.
This novel is purely for entertainment; all its content is flawed and cannot withstand scrutiny. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence will find this novel riddled with errors.
This is the first novel I've ever forced myself to finish reading. It's outrageous! A script costs 300,000 yuan right off the bat, and they portray Stephen Chow as the male lead from the comedy genre, even though he's still playing minor roles and people are offering him leading roles. He'd rather not act than give up his own ideas. The author clearly lacks basic critical thinking skills.
It has to be the main character, right? In the very first chapter, a dishwasher in the 1980s already had a cell phone.
