Many people said that " Golden Age " was not real. Why did they say so?

The Golden Age is a novel about urban life. Some people think that it is not true for the following reasons: 1. The plot is exaggerated. The plot in the novel was a little too exaggerated. For example, the protagonist obtained a huge amount of wealth in a short period of time or became a billionaire through some means. This was impossible in real life. In addition, the plot of interpersonal relationships and workplace competition in the novel also seemed somewhat fictional. 2. Character creation was insufficient. The characters in the novel were a little too perfect and lacked realism and three-dimensional. For example, the protagonist Gatsby seemed to be omnipotent and omnipotent in the pursuit of his own happiness, but in real life, such a person did not exist. In addition, the other characters in the novel, such as Daisy and Nick, lacked sufficient details and background, making it feel a little fictional. 3. Inconsistent values. The values in novels were different from those in real life. For example, Gatsby's value of pursuing his own happiness at all costs in the novel was not correct in real life. In addition, some plots in the novel also reflected some unhealthy values such as money and power. Although the Golden Age was a novel about urban life, its plot was exaggerated, the characters were not well portrayed, and the values were somewhat unhealthy. Therefore, some people thought it was unreal.
