It's clear that the author's writing skills are very high; they didn't write anything unnecessary, which is excellent. I hope the author continues to maintain this level of writing ability.
It's a good read, unlike other novels with too much violence. The male lead is also great! He takes care of his family, helps his younger brother, is filial to his parents, and loves his wife and children. In particular, he's ambitious and knows when to stand out and when not to, unlike other male leads who are womanizers. You'd almost wish every woman, from Lou Xiao'e to Qin Huairu to Qin Jingru, loved him.
It's a good read. The male lead isn't greasy or lecherous. He's filial to his parents and loves his wife and children. It's a comfortable and enjoyable read, unlike other stories where the male lead gets all sorts of fantasies about every woman he sees, as if he's never seen a woman before and accepts anything dirty or rotten.
Well written, no scatological humor from traditional courtyard houses, no excessive hostility, and no sense of being bullied. 🍉 Yesterday I read a book where the protagonist was almost disfigured by Jia Zhangshi, yet he kept calling her "Grandma Jia" and didn't fight back.
This novel is quite well-written; the characters are all well-developed, and there aren't any oddball main or supporting characters.
It was actually quite good, but many of the romantic storylines were portrayed too blandly, and the pacing was a bit too fast; they'd already gotten to the point where Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu were getting married. Is this going to be another short and concise novel?
It's great, very calm and even, without any hostility. I really can't stand characters who are incredibly powerful and then constantly targeted before retaliating; even the harshest revenge feels suffocating. This doesn't do that at all, it's really good! The protagonist is the eldest and most favored son, with strong moral values. He treats his two younger brothers well and even finds them jobs.
It's written with a strong sense of the era, showing that a simple life is the true essence of life, unlike other books where the protagonist transmigrates just to argue with everyone and everything!
I really enjoyed this novel. It's less angsty and more refreshing compared to other courtyard-themed novels. The protagonist is also well-developed. While the second uncle's old-fashioned thinking isn't great for his second and third sons, he's genuinely good to the protagonist—that's undeniable. Most importantly, there's no pretense of leniency towards his parents or younger brother.
Good heavens! No wonder it got over nine points among all those courtyard novels, it's truly amazing. Unlike other novels that are so overpowered and arrogant, this one is simple yet logical. It feels like the author carefully considered every word. Some lines are really insightful on their own.
