Fellow Courtyard Novel Fans, Recommend Some Books That Actually Make Sense
Honestly, those courtyard-house novels use the period as a thin cover for an alternate-history setting. They're not really about what happened in the courtyard itself. A lot of the writers still haven't grasped the point.

The pacing is good, and the entry point is also good. Keep writing slowly; slice-of-life stories need to build momentum in the mid-to-late stages, and there's too little of that now. Also, if the romance isn't well-written, add it later. Looking at the early parts, the author's portrayal of romance seems a bit immature.
The choice of entry point is excellent, especially the sports scholarship program, which allows students to directly enter the best universities, learn to win championships, snowball their wealth in the stock market, accumulate initial wealth, and improve their social status. This kind of strategy should produce high-quality results, and I am looking forward to it.
Well, listening to this book is like drinking a fine wine that soothes the soul. The most difficult part is that the logic is clear. At first glance, it seems like a straightforward narrative, but upon closer inspection, it contains profound life lessons. The ultimate goal of life is simplicity, and the ability to describe simplicity in a wonderful way is a testament to skill.
The author has put in a lot of effort, with each chapter being a long one. I haven't seen any sycophantic tendencies yet. If it were any other Tomato protagonist who got the medal, they would definitely kick it and say something despicable, even cursing the cook while eating.
The protagonist's grandmother had excellent educational methods, having her children practice martial arts, learn medicine, do housework, cook, and study from a young age. It was a wonderful education. The grandmother's family was also very united.
It's quite good. It doesn't dwell too much on the intrigue and power struggles, and the protagonist doesn't suddenly evolve much. The author is improving; keep it up!
This is the first time I've read a novel where the protagonist is an athlete.
Interesting books
Go go go go!
Highly recommended It's written very sincerely, with both planning and vision. Why is the rating so low?
