Siheyuan: A Little Bit of Ordinary

As a time traveler, it's understandable that he retains some modern habits from the 1960s, such as having feelings for beautiful women. However, his indiscriminate acts of kindness are hard to judge. Perhaps the protagonist is just a nice guy in modern times?

I stayed up all night to finish it. This book is worth reading with your brain; the logic is flawless. The characters' personalities and behaviors are very reasonable and realistic, feeling even closer to reality than TV dramas. The author's values align with mine, and reading it felt like I was writing it myself—I couldn't put it down. The downsides are that the plot is too bland and thin.

This courtyard novel, which deserves an 8.3 rating, aligns well with the thinking and logic of people from that era. Unlike other courtyard novels that demonize traditional courtyards, this one focuses solely on how to fill one's stomach and make life better.

Five stars! Keep it up!

The author is writing diligently, and I'm reading diligently; it's a good work. As long as it doesn't fall apart later on, it will be a successful book. Keep it up!

Overall, this book is quite good, staying close to the original drama in many ways, especially Jia Zhangshi, who hasn't been drastically altered at all. The only downside is that Bang Ji has significantly less screen time, and the most altered character seems to be Yi Zhonghai. However, things get more normal in the later parts, becoming more even and well-written.

Stories set after the reform and opening up have always been a major challenge for the courtyard house genre, as it's difficult to find anything truly original. The author's simple approach is actually a good thing. Compared to harem novels featuring young, unmarried women like Jingru and married women like Yuli, this is a more restrained approach, which is encouraging.

The absence of violent online novels, where sometimes the simplicity is the meaning of life, resonated with the social environment of that era and was far better than those violent, courtyard-themed online novels.

It's alright, I wouldn't call it five stars, but it's watchable. I've already finished watching it.
