So many books written by AI these days make no sense and don't understand human nature.

Please recommend something good.

Please keep updating the good parts. The last book had a bad ending and wasn't properly concluded.
Not bad! Life is about the ordinary, unlike other novels. The whole courtyard is just focused on the protagonist, causing trouble every three days and a major disturbance every five. They say they won't let the widow leech off them, but a few chapters later they're back at it. I really don't know what they're thinking. It's like they haven't seen a woman in 800 lifetimes, just doing things for the sake of pleasure.
Overall, I prefer this kind of courtyard novel. It's less hostile, and while there are conflicts between neighbors, they're not as intense. Unlike other novels where it's practically a fight to the death, in which case the neighborhood committee would have intervened long ago.
It's good to maintain this rhythm; it looks very comfortable.
I feel this truly captures the essence of a traditional courtyard house, possessing that inexplicable weight and atmosphere typical of period dramas. I just hope the author updates soon. I also want to see how Sha Zhu and Liang Ladi's life changes after their marriage.
This book is really good, but the way the male lead meets the female lead, Zhao Maimai, is just too heartbreaking. I know that in that era, the male lead jumping into the water to save someone and giving the female lead CPR would inevitably lead to gossip and rumors. I still hope that the male and female leads can have a better encounter, not the kind that feels forced.
I'm giving you a five-star recommendation in advance: an original female lead. I'll also attach a picture. You don't necessarily need to find a woman with a powerful background; you can find someone from a poor family who doesn't cause trouble. I'll also attach a picture of Zhao Jinmai; I guarantee many people will give you five stars.
The plot is great, Jia Dongxu writes very well, I really like it. I rarely give courtyard novels five stars, author, keep it up!
First of all, the author seems to have good literary skills; they must have written excellent essays in school 🤭🤭. This book doesn't have much violence; the protagonist is low-key and reserved, and the system isn't particularly powerful—it just levels up by studying (it feels like a brain-opening, intelligence-boosting type of system).
Overall, it's pretty good. There are some minor flaws. For example, the bicycle collection system, ticket prices, and commodity prices—I'm not really familiar with these things. I can accept the comments saying it's unreasonable. One problem is the way the female lead appears. I teach you how to fish, then I save you, and finally I'm forced to marry you. Is that something a decent person would do?
