Middle Age

This is the most infuriating book I've ever read, bar none. The male protagonist is a perfect example of being a pushover, having low intelligence, and being impotent. Every seemingly heroic scene, upon closer examination, is just a matter of luck. Just when there's a moment of excitement, it's immediately extinguished. The plot doesn't advance the main storyline at all; it's just using all sorts of inexplicable settings to hinder or prevent the main plot from progressing. The novel has over 140 chapters, with nearly 100 chapters dedicated to the divorce alone. To make the male protagonist's life even more miserable, the novel has created a villain whose shamelessness has reached its peak. A group of relatives and friends stormed the male protagonist's door three times. This is not just a matter of being shameless; it's like tearing off the skin and then the flesh, and now they're pulling out the bones. This level of shamelessness is beyond what a normal human being can be. Does such a person really exist? It's not water, it's not black, and it's not acid; it's a complete waste of the reader's time. I'll abandon the book to save my mood. Goodbye.

Look at the true colors of Li Meifeng and her family! They demanded 580,000 yuan from a rural nobody, and what's even more outrageous is that the guy actually agreed! They've learned their lesson after being ripped off like this. Is this how a middle-aged man should behave?

The woman cheated on her husband during the marriage, and the daughter isn't her biological child. In a divorce, she's entitled to compensation for emotional distress, child support, and money spent on her brother. Is the author stupid? Doesn't she understand the law?

Let me explain why I'm giving this review! I saw a comment the author featured, where the commenter argued that a novice writing like this wouldn't get a contract. So, as someone who almost never reads male-oriented novels, I'll briefly discuss the first chapter: The writing is excellent, focusing on a single point to illustrate a broader theme, demonstrating genuine emotion. The story follows a thirty-year-old man struggling in his career, barely making ends meet as a food delivery driver. His family, once warm and loving because of his daughter, is devastated when, on her birthday, he discovers his wife of seven or eight years is cheating on him. It's a classic case of misfortunes piling upon misfortunes—truly melodramatic! However, the first-person narrative avoids this melodrama, evoking sympathy in the reader. In just the first chapter, a mere thousand words, the author has already succeeded; what reason could the editor possibly have to reject it? Don't tell me the author submitted this book internally, had an outline, and that the outline attracted the editor, which is why it was approved. The outline is just an aid, giving the editor a general idea of ​​the story's direction. The crucial "golden three chapters" still play a role, for both the editor and the reader. Hmm... I'm putting it on the bookshelf now! Also, I really want to say to the author, this novel won't exceed 300,000 words, right? A special reminder: generally, I don't recommend writing novels in the first person. I'm not denying that the author writes in the first person—the author writes very well. However, writing a novel over 300,000 words in the first person is very risky! Even if the author has the perseverance to continue writing, the readers might not have the mindset to keep reading.

Front row seat, Wind God is mighty!

This is a strange book; it actually kept me reading. Once I read the first chapter, I couldn't help but want to read the rest. The book feels very realistic; even as a woman, I felt deep sympathy for the protagonist's plight. It's true, there are too many gold diggers in real life. Women constantly demand that men have a house, a car, savings, and an excellent job. But these gold diggers don't seem to consider what they themselves have. In this society where interests and desires are highly inflated, it's not that people's happiness is decreasing, but rather the conflict between people's distorted materialistic mentality and real life. Married gold diggers would rather hypocritically cater to the ugly faces of so-called rich men than even glance at their husbands who are working hard for their families. It's worth recommending to my colleagues, and also to women who don't work hard but dream of being kept by sugar daddies. I hope it can awaken their conscience.

Keep watching!

The plot is getting more and more exciting, but unexpectedly, Wu Lili, despite her simple and unassuming nature, isn't the kind of good woman I imagined. Everyone has a love of money; the only difference is how well they hide it. Looking at it this way, Xiao Tingyu seems even more appealing. After all, she still retains the pride she once had as a goddess, at least she maintains a sense of self-respect and wants to live a good life. Keep it up!

I don't know why the author created such a character. This woman has no beauty whatsoever; all I want to do is vomit and feel all sorts of discomfort, and I just want to get rid of her as soon as possible.

I've received the book coins.
