Siheyuan: Reforging Myth in the Name of Ghosts and Gods

It's rare to find a novel that manages to capture the essence of Yi Zhonghai's retirement. Most novels these days depict Yi Zhonghai as someone who'd rather die than face death, yet he always manages to forgive and forgive those he's wronged! They've completely forgotten Yi Zhonghai's original intention of retiring. The author is good; keep the balance and write well!

This is a story about cats, and it has little to do with courtyard houses. The people in the courtyard are now basically afraid to mess with the protagonist. The protagonist occasionally teases them, but there's not much hostility involved, and no fights have broken out. As someone who watches cats, I basically ignore the minor flaws of the courtyard house. The only drawback is that this cat doesn't yet have a mature cultivation system.

I finished reading it. Aside from being a bit wordy, it wasn't bad. I didn't feel anything particularly special about the rest, but the ending was quite good. This is probably the fate of immortal beings; loneliness and slumber are always the main themes.

Wow, a new book is out! I'll give it 5 stars to show my support! Why doesn't this author's book get much traffic, even though it's a really good book?

The novel has a solid writing style, a smooth narrative, and a relatively delicate portrayal of psychological activity. However, the internal monologues are a bit too crammed in, making the story feel somewhat stagnant. The "human-to-cat" concept is interesting, and the mutation ability setting is also noteworthy.

I think the overall writing is alright, so why is the rating so low? It should normally be around 7.5-8, Which seems reasonable. This is way too low. Is it intentionally giving a bad review? I read quickly, but I still made it to the end. It's not bad.

So far, it's really well-written! The analysis of the courtyard house also fits the characters' personalities perfectly.

For me, "The Courtyard House" is a high-quality book; the logic and writing style are both good, and the plot is quite original.

It's quite novel, and surprisingly not bad. Having read so many novels about courtyard houses, covering various genres, this is the first time I've seen a male protagonist who can switch between human and cat modes. That's quite interesting! Ending at chapter 365, marking this, the male lead is done collecting rainwater, I really can't appreciate his looks.

Typical petty-bourgeois mentality: enduring hardship without experiencing it, thinking oneself patriotic, and possessing a half-hearted saintly heart.
