I've finished reading it. It's a relatively complete and well-developed pure farming novel, unlike those that later delve into court intrigue, harem politics, or rebellions. It's very well written, considered one of the better works in its genre. It's quite complete, full, and doesn't drag. The only downside is that the author's "golden finger" (advantageous characters) isn't quite there yet.
This is one of the few ancient Chinese novels that I find both dramatic and artistically compelling, featuring a story of rags-to-riches and raising children, daughters, daughters-in-law, granddaughters, and grandchildren. The author exudes positive energy.
This book is relatively easy to read, with few logical flaws, and includes both the famine relief story and everyday human moments. The female lead also has sound moral values. If you're looking for something to read, you might want to check it out.
This book is the most meticulously serialized book I've ever read.
It's a good book, I love reading it. It's a vivid and engaging book that makes you laugh and cry at the same time. Everyone in the story has their own little thoughts, but none of them are bad people.
The writing is good, and the plot is quite tight. I hope it will remain so in the later parts.
The author's writing is superb. If every fictional world could form a small world, this one would definitely be the richest and most captivating. The minor characters aren't glossed over; each has their own fascinating life story. Every name that appears is given a meaningful reading experience. In short, it's exceptionally well-written! Everyone should read this! 😘
Great book! Excellent! 👍
There's definitely a lot going on. I really dislike Zhang Cuihua, who scolds her daughters just because she has a son, but such people do exist in reality—it's both real and tragic. I absolutely loved the romance between Jiaojiao and Cheng Ran; the simple-minded yet stubborn young man, two lovable bickering lovers, it's just a shame they're separated. When will they be back? If I'd known it was a serialized series, I wouldn't have clicked on it. Reading it all night was so agonizing!
Very good, the characters are distinct and the writing is excellent.
