Starting Out in the Beastly Courtyard

Are you out of your mind? Why not quit being a salesman and become a fitter? Or go around flirting with Yi Zhonghai every now and then!

Isn't this skill panel appearing far too often? It's always showing off!

The protagonist has the means to repeatedly engage in verbal battles with these beasts. Is it possible that the story couldn't be written without these beasts? Knowing that Yi Zhonghai and Old Lady Long had hired someone to kill him, he pretended not to know. Jia Zhangshi constantly called the protagonist a little beast and a childless widow, and the protagonist didn't object?

Author, do your peers or people of similar or lower status call you "Kang Kang" with such a reduplicated form? This is something only older female relatives or grandparents would use to address you; it feels very jarring.

This book has huge problems in many details. First, the notes are copied carelessly. Second, the chef's secret recipes and seasonings are carelessly revealed. Third, knowing that the era of paperwork was coming, why didn't the author store more watches, bicycles, fuel, Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine tools, weapons, fishing gear, outdoor gear, clothes, and other necessities? And why didn't the author store more of those items? That's decades!

Zero points for a fair assessment. I've almost finished watching it. Where is the salary of a level nine engineer and a chief engineer? What is their rank? They invented advanced machine tools that were so advanced at the time that they might not even be available through imports. At the very least, they should have been assigned guards and received special treatment. Their rank should at least be that of a deputy bureau chief.

Using such a feminine term as "Kang Kang" every day, is he sick? And why is he getting so close to a traitor like Xu Damao? Why is he getting so close to a parasite and sycophant like Sha Zhu? Doesn't the protagonist have any self-control or backbone? He's always passive and a pushover.

It's over two hundred chapters! The protagonist is fakely generous, levels up slowly, and there's an imbalance of power. Every time someone eats at his house, he's unrealistically generous. In this era of ration coupons, snacks are more expensive than grain! He doesn't earn enough merit for capturing enemy spies, nor enough rewards for inventions.

Chapter 234 Extremely Poisonous: You're using agricultural machinery and other technologies from the 1990s that were mature in the 1950s? Don't you want to die fast enough? Being ahead of the curve makes you a target, but being ahead by thirty or forty years is a capital offense!

"Kang Kang, Kang Kang, even those younger than the main character are called 'Main Character Kang Kang'—what a terrible reading experience! Zero points, so awkward!"
