I'll give you five stars, alright! Keep it up, kid! You've fooled me; there's no one who wouldn't admire you, sir!
Honestly, this is the most enjoyable book I've ever read.
It looks great! Just a side note, there's another way to eat Peking duck. Back in the early 1980s, my family and I had freshly sliced Peking duck at the Hepingmen Peking Duck Restaurant. We used small sesame seed cakes to hold the duck skin (don't put in the duck meat, just the skin!)
It's quite good. Except for the slightly awkward handling of Xu Damao's scene at the beginning, the rest is decisive and has a sense of boundaries. Chapter 210 is quite cloying. Xu Damao can't be forgiven, but Qin the Widow can be forgiven, right? The protagonist never marries, and then when he gets older, Widow Qin, with her son Banggeng, easily takes advantage of the fact that he has no heir.
He launched a swift and devastating attack on Da Mao, severely injuring him. It's one thing to cause trouble, but the real problem is he showed no mercy to others, resorting to words rather than violence.
I want to know the relationship between the protagonist and Xu Damao; sometimes he's the younger brother, sometimes the older brother. This novel is cursed! The characters are on good terms at the beginning, but then they completely break off their relationship later on.
It's pretty good. An 8.2 Rating is a bit low; an 8.5 Would be more appropriate. Although there are some minor flaws, it's a good novel that kept me reading until the very end.
First of all, this is a good novel about a courtyard house. Although none of the villains died, they will basically not appear for the time being. There will definitely be more plot after they are released from prison, right? I dropped the story after only seeing the part where the protagonist and the neighborhood committee opened a small tavern, firstly because the courtyard house was basically…
That girl was probably also from another time, but she wasn't originally planned to have a role. The author probably isn't very good at writing romance, so they couldn't include her. Since they're both from different time, they'll probably just get married once they confess.
The book is alright. I've been reading it for a while now, but the handling of Xu Damao's character was a bit abrupt at first, though it's not a big problem; the plot holes have been filled later. It's just that your update speed is too slow.
