In a Terrible Reading Slump: I Drop 9.8-Rated Books After Ten Chapters and 9.7-Rated Ones After Five
I'm so out of books to read, but I'm incredibly picky. For "Ten Thousand People Are Browsing", I made it only thirty chapters before dropping it. I used to read "Dragon King" past chapter 400, but now I dropped "Slay the Gods" after just twenty chapters.
Fanfiction Based on Classic TV Dramas
Something like "Nirvana in Fire" and the like.
Please Recommend Highly Rated Period Pieces. No Dumbed-Down Plots or Cringey Scenes

An incredibly good novel set in a bygone era.

Period-Era Fiction! Really Good Ones! No Pocket Spaces, They’re Too Unrealistic!
I don't know why, but lately I've been really into stories set in a bygone era, especially ones about transmigration. Transmigrating into a book is fine too. I read one about a soft-hearted freeloader and a green-tea schemer and really loved it. It felt so real, but it's still being updated. Ladies, any more recommendations? No stories where they get a pocket dimension and supplies like a supermarket, though.

After watching the TV series, I was incredibly frustrated by Yu Zhu's foolishness, Huai Ru's selfishness, and the scheming of everyone in the courtyard. I felt so sorry for Yu Zhu. Reading the novel made me really empathize with him. I hope the author can give him a good twist and not let Yu Zhu continue down this foolish path. Good luck! 💪
Well written, with delicate prose and a lively mind, it draws the reader in and is definitely worth reading. Keep it up! I hope the author will have more and better works in the future. Looking forward to it!!!
This book is really well-written. I read some reviews and it seems most readers are from the 70s and 80s generation. I'm a 90s kid, and I love it too. I feel like Sha Zhu has a lot of skills; let's not over-glorify him. It's just a bit short. Author, please update soon!
A good book, without excessive plot, interesting in its simplicity, making it enjoyable to read.
The author writes very well, without exaggeration or excessive revenge against Qin Huairu or targeting the old man. At the same time, the author skillfully portrays that in that era, other courtyard houses could easily accumulate wealth through virtual farming and daily sign-in systems, acquiring various tickets and accelerating time and space to raise chickens and ducks, ensuring a constant supply of meat and eggs.
The male protagonist in this book acts like a normal person, but other fanfics seem to want to wipe out Qin Huairu's entire family! They even want to exterminate the whole academy 😂 The people in the academy are also desperately courting death 😂
To be honest, of all the courtyard novels I've read, this is one of only two that are relatively peaceful and reasonable. The author must have a lot of experience. No doubt about it, five stars!
The author's writing style is very distinctive; it avoids overly fantastical elements and excessive exaggeration. Personally, I think it's the best among essays on the same topic.
There have been many books about courtyard houses lately, but this one is arguably the best. In fact, a courtyard house is a microcosm of society; everyone has a selfish side. This book doesn't portray it in such an extreme way, nor does it highlight the beastly aspects of the courtyard house, so it has more human warmth and is worth recommending! Readers who like courtyard houses should definitely give it a try!
I've watched this TV series two or three times. The storyline is great, but listening to this time-travel novel gave it a fresh perspective. However, I felt the treatment of Widow Qin was a bit too tragic and unfair… But the novel is definitely good! 👍
