Grinding Attributes in Dream of the Red Chamber

I have read several Red Mansions novels, and generally speaking, there are two ways of writing them: one, focusing on daily life, with birds and birds and swallows, and colorful flowers; second, the protagonist is a warrior and an iron horse, and the girls are the life-savers in the spare time, focusing on the tenderness of the hero. No matter which direction it goes, it has its audience. The difference lies in the plot design and writing style. Specific to this book, the first half is one and the second half is two. Although this direction is understandable as the protagonist's status rises, the shortcoming is that the two halves are not well written. Love and love all day long cannot be summed up in the words "as tender as water". Just like the original work, the characters are three-dimensional, and every word and action has its own characteristics and starting point. Of course, it is a literary masterpiece, and there is no requirement for commercial articles to be written in this way, but you can focus on a few main characters such as Xue Linshi. As for conquering the world, I personally think it is the biggest flaw of this book. First of all, fictional history is never a problem. After all, the protagonists have traveled through time, so just treat it as a parallel time and space. However, readers with a little historical literacy can point out the main social contradictions at the turn of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, that is, the necessary responses made by the rulers under the constraints of the general environment. I don't know if this book deliberately ignored this point, but directly set it to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, causing everyone from the emperor to the ministers to become wise. Secondly, the description of war, whether it is part or whole, tactics or strategy, although the book repeatedly emphasizes that impersonal abilities can influence the war, it still follows the formula of "Superman saves the earth". Such a description has no passion, no humanistic sentiments, and no sense of excitement. To be honest, I persisted until nearly 300 chapters, and then I would jump after turning a few pages of each chapter (my eyes are dim and the fonts are large), just because (😄) the "sense of suspension" was too strong, and I lost interest in reading. The above are personal opinions and are for reference only.

Brother, the order of ages is all wrong.
