This is a top-tier novel with no violence, so feel free to read on. The protagonist treats the retirement group like family. Hitting someone? That's illegal. Old Yi's two stunts caused Old Li to lose his chef position? No problem, I'll cook for Director Yang. The neighbors are talking badly about his girlfriend? No problem, I can't explain it anyway, so I won't.
A book with extremely light and ruthless atmosphere, without any excrement or farce, and without any mysterious or mystical objects, only a static space that you can carry with you. The author attempts to depict a realistic era and a realistic world within traditional courtyard houses. The characters in the work have distinct personalities, but they belong to the category of ordinary people.
The author is writing very seriously, trying to portray the protagonist, who seems to have superpowers, as a kind, ordinary person. Although sometimes it feels a bit too kind and lacks malice, I personally think it's quite good.
It's well-written and feels very realistic. After reading so many ruthless and satisfying novels, I find the male lead a bit too saintly, but he's still quite human and has some interesting aspects.
It has a strong sense of the era and feels very real! I like this kind of normal life; it's more realistic!
Why does such a good book have such a low score?
The protagonist got his window smashed by a deaf person, and without a second thought, he just gave her a big slap in the face. 🤦🤦🤦🤦
It's a good read. I've read so many novels about courtyard houses, and I like this kind of novel that's not too violent and has a strong sense of the era. It's getting better and better, and there's just not enough to listen to.
I'll give it four stars to save face, since it's still significantly better than many six-star reviews. A 5.8 Rating is definitely too low.
It's quite good, why is the rating so low?
