The writing is good and realistic. Also, the character of Jia Zhangshi is well-developed. When watching the TV series, if you think about it carefully, you'll realize she's not simple; she's a smart person.
I'm speechless. It's very realistic and also quite interesting...
Actually, it's not bad. The main character is now on the street. The plot development is reasonable. Although some details are different from what I remembered, it's roughly the same. It feels very familiar. It wasn't until I saw a car while grocery shopping today that I suddenly realized why I recognized it. A Jeep Wrangler! Zhu Shimao! That old movie! No wonder.
This courtyard house story is very contemporary and full of human warmth. Evil has its source, and good has its cause. Everything is formed slowly. Although there is no system, the protagonist's resilience and optimism are no less than those of protagonists with systems. It's like a small grass clinging to the soil at its roots in a strong wind, stubbornly living on.
This is the first time I've seen a courtyard house with this kind of social status; it's probably the first book to feature such a background. It really shows how difficult it must have been to live with that kind of identity in that era. It would have been even better if the beginning had been explored in more depth.
This is a well-written and thoughtful book. Unlike other books where characters have supernatural powers or cheat codes, or where collecting antiques, paintings, stamps, or courtyard houses leads to instant wealth, this one doesn't offer such compelling narratives. The characters lack personality, and the plot is illogical.
Having read so many books about courtyard houses, I feel that as long as the later parts don't fall apart, this one will also be a good book.
Because there are too many fast-paced, superficial novels, the ones I'm supposed to follow are not the right ones. This book is one of the few truly good books I've read. This story about a courtyard house is unconventional and full of original ideas. The author clearly put a lot of effort into it. I've been reading it every day. The overall atmosphere is well-integrated, and the story unfolds step by step. I highly recommend it. I hope you can keep going.
It's well-written. If judged as a normal novel, the rating is too low; it should be above 9 on Tomato Books. However, when I read courtyard novels, I'm looking for stories with a system where the protagonist conquers everything, but this book doesn't have a system, which might be why the rating is lower! For those who enjoy plot, it's a good book.
So far, up to chapter 85, it's quite enjoyable. I personally like stories where the male lead is devoted to one person, so I hope the author won't mix Chen Xueru and the male lead together.
