Siheyuan: A Carpenter's Everyday Life

This is a rare story about a courtyard house, rich in professional knowledge, that doesn't confine itself to the mundane details of life within the courtyard. It's an excellent tale that fully integrates contemporary themes, showcasing personal growth and practical experience that leads to family prosperity and generates foreign exchange for the nation.

Please write more about the main character; don't let it be like other courtyard houses where the plot revolves around the same few characters all day long.

Overall, it's very good, but it suffers from a common flaw in male protagonist novels: the romance. The female lead's younger brother, to avenge his sister's other suitors, hires people to ambush and surround the male lead, only apologizing after winning a one-on-one fight.

It depicts that era with realism and a sense of everyday life. There are some plot devices, but they aren't overly exaggerated. While possessing a futuristic vision, it maintains a broad perspective while remaining grounded in human nature. It avoids drastic alterations and abstractions, its understated style resonating deeply. I suggest locking the author in a dark room and giving them 10,000 words a day; if they can't produce enough, they'll be given a good spanking.

When writing this novel, I didn't want to get bogged down in the melodramatic scheming common in traditional courtyard houses. I chose the carpenter's perspective because the mortise and tenon joints embody the wisdom of our ancestors—every chisel and plane must be solid, and one should treat others with integrity.

Out of 10, I'd give it an 8. It's still ongoing. ✅ The plot is good, quite slice-of-life, and not limited to the traditional courtyard house setting. The original courtyard house setting isn't too violent either; it's mostly about everyday family matters. So far, there aren't any major flaws. ✅ The protagonist transmigrates with a spatial ability and a carpentry system.

This story is purely technical, and I really like the male protagonist's pursuit of art. I hope there's no romantic pairing, so the male protagonist can focus on his technical studies. His younger siblings can take care of carrying on the family line.

It's very well written and relatable; the low rating is a waste of a good book. Keep up the good work, author!

It's relatively realistic, without any hostility, and leans towards a technical aspect. Aside from some of the prices at the beginning seeming a bit outrageous, it's pretty good. It's rather bland. The plot becomes quite depressing after entering the special period; perhaps those who have read too many wish-fulfillment novels find this kind of plot uncomfortable.

I've seen a book about blacksmithing before, similar to this one, very detailed. However, that book included a small space and a pill to slightly improve physical abilities, spanning from the 1950s to the 21st century, and included several marriages.
