In a Terrible Reading Slump: I Drop 9.8-Rated Books After Ten Chapters and 9.7-Rated Ones After Five
I'm so out of books to read, but I'm incredibly picky. For "Ten Thousand People Are Browsing", I made it only thirty chapters before dropping it. I used to read "Dragon King" past chapter 400, but now I dropped "Slay the Gods" after just twenty chapters.

Courtyard House Novels Are All the Rage Lately, So Here Are a Few Carefully Selected Ones
I've followed all of these. They're pretty good overall. There may be a few annoying parts, but they're bearable.
Quick Transmigration as He Yuzhu
I read a quick transmigration book where the protagonist transmigrated into He Yuzhu at one point, but I can't find it anymore. Please help me find it!
Siheyuan, a Space, Low Conflict, Cozy Vibes, and Approved by a Twenty-Year Bookworm
I'd like something like "The Courtyard Compound: Silly Zhu Gets Married and Gets Beaten Every Day". I've been reading for twenty years and have already vetted this one, so it's safe to try. If you know any good courtyard-compound novels, please recommend them. What makes a good book? In my opinion, one that keeps you hooked and makes you want to keep reading, one that...
Can I Get Some Normal Stories Set in a Particular Era?
No silly, naive heroines and no characters suddenly getting stupid. The male lead should be loyal and virtuous. Kids are fine, as are rebirth, transmigration into a book, transmigration, or native-born protagonists. Please, recommend something normal. I'm losing my mind trying to find a book.

Just an ordinary, peaceful life in a warm little home.

A very good book. It analyzes several women in the original work and confirms that they were indeed unsuitable for Sha Zhu. Later, during the three years of famine, beautiful women fled the famine, and he gradually chose a good one. The plot is a bit fake, bland and uneventful. Yi Zhonghai doesn't do anything throughout. There's no big meeting in the courtyard.
That was great! I watched it all in one go and wanted more! Keep up the good work! Having read so many novels about courtyard houses, this one is one of the few that objectively depicts the residents, neither glorifying nor vilifying them, making it a very pleasant read! Please keep up the good work!
It's good that she doesn't have a strong aversion to the Jia family, and it's also very good that she's far away from the Jia family and the family prone to childlessness. It's good that she got married and had children early, and that she didn't make enemies with Da Mao. Currently, this is one of the best of the 500 courtyard novels I've seen on Tomato.
Well written, and relatively historically accurate. The whole story is quite normal, without any overpowered characters or superhuman abilities. The courtyard setting is also normal, without constant arguing or bickering. It's a style I like, which is rare among stories about courtyard houses.
Realism is the novel's greatest strength! For ordinary people, all they can do is make their lives a little more comfortable! The protagonist achieves this, using his culinary skills to live a good life. A wife, children, and a warm bed—that's our greatest pursuit! Unable to achieve this in reality, we can only realize our goals in novels.
That's good. Although everyone has different opinions, it's self-consistent and well-written. 👍
This character lived a normal life from 1951 onwards, without the lust for widows he had in his previous life. He actively sought a partner, wasn't foul-mouthed, and had no bad temper, so he lived a peaceful life. Therefore, it's clear that Sha Zhu's death by freezing to death under a bridge in his previous life was his own doing.
It's a period drama disguised as a traditional courtyard house story, but it's written as a wish-fulfillment novel. I really hope there were fewer sacrifices and that our country could have a smoother path. Although some parts are illogical, it aligns with the dreams of many Chinese people.
How to put it? It's a rather plain yet incredibly lifelike novel. I used to always prefer longer novels with more words, more exciting plots, and more conflicts. But you know, writing full of life's moments can be just as enjoyable. Reading this novel is like watching someone else live their life.
Don't read this as a fanfiction about a traditional courtyard house; think of it as an "what if" scenario within the traditional courtyard house setting. Strip away the various farcical events depicted in the TV series and focus on the lives of a few ordinary people (in reality, there are hardly any truly evil characters in the TV series; even Jia Zhangshi is just a petty old woman.
