Five stars! It's very enjoyable to read so far, and the protagonist's actions perfectly fit the character's role. I've read a few books where the protagonist starts with a high-level job, like an engineer, and then gets bullied and humiliated in various trivial situations within the compound, continuing a turn-based game.
This is a really good simp novel. The protagonist transmigrates to a courtyard house, and on his first day, he buys half a pound of pork belly for Yan Bugui. The next day, he buys roast duck and invites Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to dinner. With a system and a spatial ability, he's the deputy head of the purchasing department, and he's a simp in the courtyard house—truly a source of pride for transmigrators!
It's pretty good, perfect for people like us who appreciate the spirit of the Jian'an era and the legacy of Cao Cao. Also, the space is well utilized; otherwise, how could we properly provide a home for the women in a courtyard house? 😏
This book will not feature clichés like "this beast falls into a cesspool" or "that beast drinks golden juice." The opening scene cannot be earlier or later than expected. Therefore, the initial atmosphere will not be too violent, but the beasts will definitely not enjoy their old age peacefully. Thank you for your support.
Great! Many plot points are quite original. I initially planned to read twenty or thirty chapters like other courtyard novels and then switch to another one, but I'm hooked! 👍
The ultimate "courtyard house" novel! This book is incredibly well-written and cleverly crafted! The author is highly intelligent! Keep it up! 😊
This book is quite good and very enjoyable to read! As a transmigrator who gets a second chance at life, one should cherish it. It's normal to have more women if you have the ability, as it changes their tragic lives and also brings joy to your own life. That's great!
It's a good read, not harsh, and subtly engaging—a great harem novel.
In terms of writing fluency, it's decent; the writing skills are okay. I haven't read the rest yet, but I hope the story is well-structured, with unexpected yet plausible plot twists. I hope it avoids repetitive word count padding and doesn't simply and crudely tie up the female leads. Xu Damao's romantic relationships are a major focus and I think they could be explored in depth.
Okay! Human behavior is inseparable from its historical context and living environment. Those forced by circumstances can be forgiven, but those with inherently wicked natures must be punished. Just a bit too many female leads, though 😎
