Description
Have you ever experienced crossing over to a completely different scene in the blink of an eye? Lin Yuzhu did. She found herself bewildered as she transmigrated to the 1970s. No, not just transmigrated—she entered the world of a novel. She has a system, a protagonist on her side, and there are antagonists in the story. But is she the protagonist? No. She’s just an onlooker who stumbled into this world by accident. As an onlooker, her life revolves around watching the drama unfold. She doesn’t want other people’s excitement, nor does she meddle in others’ affairs. Her goal? Quietly amass a fortune. She’s set a modest goal of earning a few hundred million, attending college, buying a house… and another house… and then more houses. She’s determined to live the life of a self-sufficient, laid-back “salted fish” (slang for someone who takes it easy). If she can spend her days lounging on a sofa with her feet up, she’ll consider it a life well-lived.

My Thoughts on Transmigrating to the 1970s: The Self-Cultivation of a Spectator
First Impressions
Okay, let's dive into "Transmigrating to the 1970s: The Self-Cultivation of a Spectator." When I first picked this one up, I was a little wary. Another 70s transmigration story? I've seen a few, and they can be hit or miss. But I have to admit, I was quickly pulled in by the premise and the promise of a clever female lead. The title itself hints at a different approach, and I was curious to see how it would play out.
What Works Well
What really stood out to me was the character development, especially with Lu Yuzhu, the female lead. She's not your typical Mary Sue; she's got an edge, a certain arrogance that's actually quite endearing. I appreciated that she's proactive, not afraid to stir things up, and definitely not someone to be trifled with. It's refreshing to see a female lead who doesn't lose her personality after finding romance. The story avoids the pitfall of having every conflict escalate endlessly. I found it satisfying that some antagonists actually grow and evolve, even becoming allies or simply moving on. This realistic touch made the world feel more believable and less like a simple good-versus-evil narrative. The relationships – familial, friendships, and romantic – felt genuinely developed and added depth to the story. The male lead is also a strong point, offering unwavering support and allowing Yuzhu to maintain her independence.
Areas of Concern
While the story is generally well-received, I can see how the "slice of life" aspect might not appeal to everyone. If you're looking for constant high-stakes action, this might not be the novel for you. It's more focused on character interactions and the gradual unfolding of events in a specific time period.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Transmigrating to the 1970s: The Self-Cultivation of a Spectator" is a worthwhile read, especially if you enjoy character-driven stories with a strong female lead. It's got a good balance of humor, drama, and romance, all set against the backdrop of a fascinating historical period. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try if you're looking for something a little different in the transmigration genre.
