How Can I Search All of Tomato and Not Find a Single Period-Era Novel from a Man's Perspective Where He Doesn't Go to the Countryside???
No going to the countryside, no going to the countryside, no going to the countryside. I'm saying it three times because it's important!!! Working in the city is great. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't refuse to go to the countryside and do hard labor. Preferably no CP. The male lead can have male and female friends, but not in the main story...

The latest character portrayals are depicted in a courtyard house. Well-organized and logical. Keep it up!
The characters are very well-developed, unlike other courtyard novels where the protagonist either transmigrates into the body of a simpleton or Xu Damao, or introduces a character not already present in the courtyard. Most courtyard novels are filled with violence, with almost every chapter involving harming one person or another.
The author put in effort; the writing isn't overly aggressive, and the perspective on everyday family life feels relatable. Of course, some details are inaccurate due to errors in the original work. For example, supply and marketing cooperatives and the "Five Guarantees" (a social welfare program for the elderly and disabled) don't exist in Beijing's urban areas; they only appear in suburban…
Personally, I think it's well-written. There were many hypocrites and truly evil people in that era, but it's impossible for it to be as full of malice as in other books, where everyone seems to want to kill the protagonist, eat his flesh, and drink his blood. You laid out over a hundred plans just to marry Lou Xiao'e? Forget it!
Keep it up, this book is bound to be a hit sooner or later. The only drawback is the slow updates. I want to leave it at that, but I can't resist. So, I'd really appreciate it if the author could update faster.
It's a pretty good book. Unlike other books where people are either in jail or dead. However, the use of the "golden finger" (a cheat code or special ability) is rather poor.
It's pretty good, and it's generally logical, but there's one bug. All the knowledge has a source, and the protagonist speaks English and Russian, but you can't find any source for them. So there's only one possibility: he's a spy. Don't tell me he learned it by himself from books. Do you think it's modern times? In that era, who could learn a foreign language by themselves without a teacher?
This is a very good courtyard novel. Although the male protagonist has a cheat-like advantage, it's not too significant; he doesn't reach the pinnacle like other novel protagonists. The characters in this courtyard have obvious flaws, but they also each have their own strengths.
I finished reading this novel and followed it closely, feeling a mix of emotions. Initially, I was reading those intensely violent courtyard novels, the kind where you practically wish everyone in the courtyard would die a horrible death. But after reading so many, I got tired of them.
It has an authentic feel and is in line with the characteristics of the era! It's just that the protagonist doesn't know how to use his cheat ability, and he has a photographic memory, so why doesn't he go to university? With Guang Qi's intelligence, he could easily skip grades and graduate a few years earlier.
