To avoid unfairly criticizing Qin, and for all those first kills, I must give him five stars.
It's good to finally see people who aren't being scathing. These people were forced into having unique personalities by the circumstances of that era.
It's alright! It's just that I still found the previous book more enjoyable to read.
Some say that human nature is inherently good, while others say it's inherently evil. I think both are true. The evil stems from the self-interest of most people; the survival instinct is there. Once survival is no longer threatened, people feel empathy for those in need and will help if they can.
It's very good. Unlike other novels about courtyard houses, it doesn't have a lot of hostility. All the characters are well-developed, and there's a lot of interaction between the characters in the courtyard. There's not much scheming and infighting, and it's quite peaceful, which is in line with what the TV series wants to express. The protagonist has a peaceful personality and a good mindset, but the author's writing style is just average; however, it's still worth reading.
The author writes well, with relatively little hostility (or rather, almost none at all, at least not so far). I also really like how the author manages to steal the spotlight early. I just wonder if the protagonist will go to Hong Kong during this special period?
The Siheyuan (courtyard house) has all the female leads it could possibly have: Qin Huairu, Lou Xiao'e, Yu Li, Yu Haitang, Ran Qiuye, He Yushui, Liu Lan, Liang Ladi, Jin Canlan, and Bai Yuechang, the actress who played Xiaoqian in A Chinese Ghost Story from Hong Kong. With so many female leads, it's a great book. The characters in the courtyard were all transformed and portrayed as positive.
This is a very good and unique time-travel novel, different from other time-travel stories. The concept is ingenious. It tells the story of a person who wants a peaceful and comfortable life, but due to various factors, he cannot have such a peaceful life. Yet, he is still very comfortable. It is a work that makes people feel happy. It is really good.
This book is well-written; the harem is built up step by step, making it very exciting.
A rare gem among courtyard novels, devoid of violence! Although it's a harem story, it's definitely worth reading. It's heartbreaking; the protagonist saves wronged women and ends up in the harem. Highly recommended. Despite its flaws (don't apply modern timelines to that era), it's definitely worth recommending!
