Looking for Courtyard Fics With Smart Characters, No Idiotic Stories
Looking for books similar to "Experiencing the Spirit of the Times in a Siheyuan". There are more and more siheyuan novels these days, and they're getting more and more brainless. Give me something with some actual thought behind it, not a power fantasy.

Siheyuan Stories Where the Protagonist Doesn't Get Involved in the Plot and Just Watches from the Sidelines
Looking for books similar to "Siheyuan: Starting in 1958". Don't make the whole story about tormenting the terrible neighbors. Just quietly watch them suffer their own misfortunes.

Looking for Quality Love in the Courtyard Fics, Not Written by Al
So many books written by AI these days make no sense and don't understand human nature. If they're all written by AI in the future and churned out in huge numbers, humanity will be the one left speechless. I get tired of AI books after just a few chapters. What a waste of time. Please recommend something good.
Looking for New Courtyard House Novels: An Original Character, No Sycophancy, and a Single Heroine
Nothing too dark or vengeful, and preferably the female lead isn't someone from the original story.
Siheyuan: Martial Arts, Hunting, and Motorcycles, With No Cheats or Only a Minor One
Siheyuan: The protagonist isn't from the original story and knows kung fu, hunts, and rides a motorcycle. A little aggressive, with no cheats or only a minor one. The plot shouldn't be too ridiculous.

Siheyuan Stories, Must Be Top Quality
I've watched the TV drama and read a lot of the novel too. I'm looking for something where the protagonist isn't so full of rage, and treats people calmly but with principles. Every character should have both good and bad in them. There's no need to force the consequences of one thing onto what came before. The plot should fit the era.

The book is generally acceptable, except for a few incorrect names for supporting characters. For example, Da Mao's father is named Xu Fugui, not Xu Youfu, and Da Mao's sister is named Xu Xiaoling. Also, the location where the chef learned to cook was likely the predecessor of the Sichuan Canteen - Emei Restaurant in 1951, which closed in 1954.
A rare gem of a story, I'll give it five stars. While there are a few minor flaws, it's excellent overall. The protagonist isn't mindless, nor is it a mindless wish-fulfillment story; the characters are well-developed with distinct personalities, and it does a good job of reflecting the social landscape of the time. 👍👍👍
This is a very popular book, at least in the Siheyuan (courtyard house) genre, it stands out. But it's not easy to write, very difficult. There are only 85 chapters so far, and it probably won't be finished. It's a pity, since many people don't want to become famous these days.
It's good to watch, it's good to watch enough. Those time travelers always like to hang out in steel mills, and even those without houses in courtyards will desperately try to get in. It's not like they have some kind of emotional system, they have to fight against top-tier opponents all day long, and it's not even the kind of sweeping victory that's achieved by the autumn wind.
Dear readers, if you think this novel is alright, could you please leave a comment, give it a rating, or even urge us to update? We've been following it for over 450 days, and it feels like playing a single-player game!
I love good books like this one where you turn to the community for help when you have problems. It's just a bit short. Could the author write 100,000 words a day?
This is currently one of the better novels in the "courtyard house" genre. Most of the characters are not two-dimensional; each has their own personality traits, reflecting the spirit of the era and the complexities of human nature. Furthermore, the author's bold depiction of the protagonist as a naive young man in the early days of the People's Republic of China, striving for progress and loyal to the Communist Party, is truly commendable!
I've started following it. Hope the author keeps updating! It's not the same old toilet humor; it's somewhat original. I hope the author sticks to their style. I'll give it five stars if it gets even better later. [Please update more frequently!]
Having read so many fanfictions about courtyard houses, this one is quite a gem! There's no all-powerful letter of forgiveness, and I'm not being fooled by Yi Zhonghai again.
It looks great! It's just too short.
