The author put in a lot of effort, conducting detailed research on images, documents, photos, wages, prices, and even the railway's organizational structure. The story incorporates various cases from the author's railway work, interspersed with events within the courtyard, especially the feud with the neighboring courtyard, which is like a martial arts tournament, with even a baby joining the…
A rare gem among works on the theme of courtyard houses, the author has clearly put in a lot of effort. Whether it's the illustrations or the explanations, some currently useless knowledge manages to pop into your head. But it's perfectly adequate as a simplified popular science book! The main characters are vividly portrayed with real life and emotions! There are flaws too.
The author has no flaws other than brevity and speed. It's a fairly everyday writing style, which I prefer as I get older; I can't stand the kind that's all about arguing and criticizing everything. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
This book is really well-written, and the author updates regularly, so why is the rating so low? In my opinion, it's far superior to those purely system-based fantasy novels. My wife slept with a widow and then a young woman while she was pregnant. It's really baffling.
I don't understand. This book is very well written, with a strong sense of the era, and the crime-solving is enjoyable. There are no major historical inconsistencies. It's much better than some novels about luxury stores in the 1960s. Why is the rating so low?
The writing is fluent and the language is simple; it's well-written. However, because it's set in a world where multiple films and television shows overlap, the repeated emphasis on the same actor playing the same character in different films and television shows makes it feel a bit off and distracting. If the plot is cleverly constructed and can be made to work, it's fine, but if not, it could easily lead to readers abandoning the book.
Disguised as a period drama, this is a crime and spy novel. The protagonist is constantly solving cases or catching enemy spies, creating a strong sense of the era and demonstrating considerable historical accuracy. The domestic drama elements are largely carried by the characters in the compound, and while the protagonist constantly relies on the police to deal with them, their screen time is limited. Overall, it's a mixed bag, but I'd give it an 8 out of 10.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading it; the pacing was excellent. It's rare to find such a good historical novel set in a courtyard house. The writing is slow and engaging, with its exploration of memories and recollections of the people of that era. I hope it reaches ten million words! 😄
Such a wonderful book, such a dedicated author, how could it have such a low rating? The idea of a senior citizens' group battling Ivory Village is absolutely brilliant.
The author did a thorough research, and the story is quite relevant to the social conditions of the time. Thank you for your effort! 👍
