Period-Era Fiction! Really Good Ones! No Pocket Spaces, They’re Too Unrealistic!
I don't know why, but lately I've been really into stories set in a bygone era, especially ones about transmigration. Transmigrating into a book is fine too. I read one about a soft-hearted freeloader and a green-tea schemer and really loved it. It felt so real, but it's still being updated. Ladies, any more recommendations? No stories where they get a pocket dimension and supplies like a supermarket, though.

Please recommend something good.

Actually, the Third Uncle could really be redeemed. You can see that he started collecting recyclables to help Sha Zhu in his old age. He has a certain bottom line and isn't the kind of ungrateful person. The Second Uncle is the same; he was just blinded by his official position. In reality, he's similar to the Third Uncle, but even more generous.
The protagonist of this book is well-written; at least he doesn't act like the protagonists in other courtyard houses, constantly dealing with this and that. Living his own life well is more important than anything else.
It's as great as ever! Keep it up, author!
A realistic portrayal, with less hostility and less intense conflict. In reality, a large compound wouldn't have such intense conflicts; it's just everyday family matters, revealing human nature in ordinary life. 🤔
The author skillfully crafted a compelling storyline, demonstrating impressive writing ability. But where did the overseas zero-yuan purchases and 30 million yuan worth of goods from abroad go? He's clearly a billionaire, yet he's constantly haggling over pennies with his cheapskate father, Yan Shuzhai.
So far, the book's writing is smooth, it has a sense of period, the protagonist is mature beyond his years, and it covers everyday family matters and familial bonds. I haven't read the romance part yet. At least the author didn't rely on the character of Lao Yi to carry the entire book.
It's a good show. The male lead is very capable and intelligent; he changes the fate of the Yan family, making their home much warmer, and he handles all the messy affairs of the courtyard house very well.
It's a rare, readable fanfiction about a courtyard house. The plot is a bit naive at the beginning, but it gets better and better later on.
A 7-year-old can assemble bicycles, repair old radios, and even piece together a usable bicycle from a few broken watches—all cobbled together from a junkyard! I mean, where did you learn all that in the 1950s and 60s? 😂 If you were 17 or 18 and learned from books in a library, that would be understandable, but a 7-year-old is just too amazing! 🍉🍉
The rating is a bit low, but I think it's pretty good. The characters are vividly portrayed, especially the male lead, who has high intelligence and emotional intelligence. Five stars to encourage the author to update quickly and avoid a bad ending! Please don't leave it unfinished! (Keywords omitted)
