This novel is very well written so far. The only thing I disagree with is that I personally feel Jia Dongxu's entire family should have urban residency permits. Otherwise, they would have been forced to return to the countryside long ago. I think the protagonist's methods are very effective. Sometimes, as an official, you don't need to personally intervene to punish people. You should use the rules to your advantage.
The latest chapter, the training section, is quite exciting. It's a rare gem among courtyard-themed fanfiction; the plot development is logical and realistic. Of course, there are minor flaws and minor quirks, but they're tolerable. Please update soon!
It's pretty good. I've read countless books about courtyard houses, and several similar ones, but none are as well-written as this one. The plot is quite well-arranged. The only downside is the protagonist; he's not well-developed enough. He just spends his days eating, drinking, and taking care of his wife.
Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui immediately retorted loudly, "What are you talking about? My surname is Yan, not Zhe. I am a teacher at Hongxing Elementary School." "Didn't you just say you were Zhe Yuanli's third uncle? The surname Zhe is a surname changed from Aisin Gioro. You two don't have the same surname, uncle and nephew?" An original female lead is worse than no female lead at all, deducting one star.
The film depicts the thought processes of a few normal people and the reactions of the beasts. They dared not show the slightest scheming or disrespect towards the deputy director of security. A mere gesture would have crushed them. Having committed one offense, they became obedient and never dared to cause another disturbance.
Great! It looks much better than other courtyard houses.
Over the years, I've read over 100 novels about courtyard houses on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform). This is one of the few reliable ones I've read. Especially when writing period novels, you have to know the prices and national conditions of the time; you can't just write whatever comes to mind. This novel is absolutely accurate, without any arbitrary alterations or drastic changes. It's a proper period novel, a Beijing courtyard house story. Worth reading.
I've read at least 100 of the Siheyuan series, and I generally prefer those with a strong "golden finger" (a powerful, overpowered character). This particular book only has a brief, initial appearance with a golden finger, but I've read up to chapter 149 and am still thoroughly enjoying it.
It's really good; it's funny and prank-like, but it's not aggressive at all.
This is a unique web novel set in a traditional courtyard house, where humor flows, rises, and elevates between the lines. The bickering duo takes the genre to a whole new level, and the several old folks who appear later in the story are also incredibly funny, making it impossible not to laugh. The author avoids the melodramatic plot of the male protagonist seeking revenge and redress.
