Having read the latest chapter of this book, I can say that the author is creative and innovative, with well-defined positive characters and the main villain, Tianyan Buqun, is finally about to have his ugly face exposed. Time to collect your peanuts!
This is beautifully written. The character portrayals are the closest to the real people among all the courtyard novels, especially Jia Zhangshi. She is the most authentic; she raised Jia Dongxu to be intelligent and became the leader of the younger generation in the courtyard. Jia Zhangshi is clearly successful. Other novels portray her too negatively. The author's depiction of Jia Zhangshi and the other characters is much more realistic.
Good, concise, no padding, logically sound.
This is the most reasonable punishment I've ever seen; it's very well-organized, has a few minor flaws, but its merits outweigh its shortcomings. Making a fuss over nothing, like the Virgin Mary.
It's quite good. If it weren't for the fact that he got involved with too many women in the middle, it would have been a perfect work. Although the many women didn't cause any major problems in the end, it did somewhat spoil the readers' goodwill.
The content is excellent, with no unnecessary dialogue or padding. The ending felt rushed, leaving many things unresolved. However, the male protagonist is quite remarkable, perfectly embodying the typical story of an ordinary person transmigrating to another world, initially cautious, gradually adapting, and climbing the ranks step by step.
A few courtyard houses, telling personal stories, not the kind of thing that's overly critical or argumentative; overall, it was a good read from all angles.
The single female protagonist is a 20th-century expression of respect from men for women [salute], which is good. The author could elaborate more on the system, increasing the interaction between the system and the protagonist, or the interaction between the protagonist and the space. Sometimes it can be detailed, sometimes brief. The author wants to showcase the protagonist's talents, but since this is a system novel, the help from the system and space is indispensable.
It's a good story; it has tension, sadness, joy, and sorrow, and ultimately, emptiness. A person's life is like a movie, but unfortunately, there's no audience; it's more like a fleeting, unappreciated flower, blooming without meaning. Although it's a lighthearted story, I hope the author can continue to improve. Many scenes lack depth, such as the flashback to the old courtyard house and the sudden death at the end of the story...
Well written. The good and evil of human nature are determined by needs and personality. You mentioned an old man; in novels, there are dark versions and righteous versions, depending on how you write it.
