A few thoughts on the character novel

Today, I think that Xinzhi's character design is very realistic. It is a simple person. Simple people tend to be more focused, so boxing is very talented. But simple people will not be able to defend against the villains with malicious intentions around them, nor will they really do those dark and despicable little actions on the road to success, so they still can't succeed.
In fact, Xinzhi was led astray by Alin in the later period, or because he drifted away from the pony. The pony in the past was most of Xinzhi's life. A person who is very emotional and simple, can't use some cold reason in this lonely mood. This is an ordinary person.
Thinking of what Dae Jang Geum-ri's female medical teacher said to her, a successful person needs two qualities, simplicity and enthusiasm. Now that I think about it, it still makes sense. It simply provides concentration, and enthusiasm provides long-term concentration. However, I think the reason why Dae Jang Geum has a Mary Sue flavor is because of that, a person who has succeeded and failed many times and got up again, there is no such moment when he is coldly separated from the past and compromises with the rules. One of the most Mary Sue's characters is that the protagonist is successful in everything, but he maintains a child-like simplicity and inadvertentness.
In fact, there are no simple people in the adult world, only fools and simple moments of smart people.
