See allIn 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.

It's very well written. I guess young people who don't know much about history won't be able to see many of the details. This book is quite daring. Many things that were well-known back then have become taboo topics, but the author has written them all down and expressed his own views. He's very bold.
The plot is quite original, and the author has tried to create a unique courtyard house story. The biggest problem is that the author, perhaps a novice, has made many common mistakes: the writing doesn't feel like a novel, but rather like a narrative. There's very little dialogue, and the plot is driven entirely by events, leaving the characters feeling uninvolved.
This book is great! Author, you could try writing like this in the future! 👍👍👍 [OK][OK][OK]
The plot started off so-so, improved slightly in the middle, and ended abruptly but was still satisfying. I gave it full marks not because of the writing style, but more because it pays tribute to positive energy and ordinary people like you and me. The entire story is arguably the most uplifting of all, with no one turning to the dark side.
It's a period drama disguised as a traditional courtyard house story. After reading so many bloody tales set in courtyard house universes, it's nice to have something different. I'd say it's not bad; at the very least, the author put in effort, the writing is smooth, and the expression is coherent. Overall, it's a above-average work. 👍
It's well-written, especially the scenes about the protagonist's childhood, which felt particularly heartwarming.
Great! 👍 Update soon!! Just now, a fake author with the username "Author" posted that the book was going to be discontinued, which was so sad. But after looking closer, I realized that person using the username "Author" isn't the author of this book 🤦🤦 I was fooled... Speed up the progress! The military enlistment process can be accelerated, unlock the courtyard house dungeon!!! Such a beautiful wife is still waiting to be married!!
This book is so strange! It's neither high-level martial arts nor cultivation; it's a pure charlatan's tale! The Taoist priest was initially a traditional urban farming novel, then it showed signs of high-level martial arts in the middle, before taking a huge detour.
Aside from the slightly awkward content about the cheat system in the first few chapters, it's all very good. The people in the cheat system space are very proactive and capable of doing their own work and conducting various research. The novel perspective of the courtyard house, starting from childhood, tells the story of the main and supporting characters who transform the courtyard house…
This book is very well written; the author has put a lot of effort into its writing. Although it's a bit exaggerated, it's a breath of fresh air. People from the 60s or 70s might find it relatable. The only flaw is the ending, which leaves a sense of regret.
