Siheyuan: I’m Xu Damao, and I’ll Take My Time Playing Along

It's alright, although there are many plot holes. For example, Jia Dongxu didn't die, and Yi Zhonghai was still in his retirement, but in the book's timeline of 1957, he's still alive. Sha Zhu was at most a backup plan; it's impossible for him to have invested so much effort in him. Even if Sha Zhu didn't own several rooms, at least one of them should have belonged to He Yushui.

Despite some flaws, it's a pretty good work among courtyard novels. There's no system or cheat code. A capitalist and a department-level leader can really drive people crazy, sometimes bowing down, sometimes remaining ruthless. Keep it up! ✊

This is the best-written novel about courtyard houses I've read this year. The protagonist's methods are all about overwhelming the enemy, leaving them unable to retaliate, preventing any escalating tensions, and providing maximum satisfaction.

Chapter 43 is fantastic! This is the most enjoyable novel besides the one about interrupting Sha Zhu! It's incredibly interesting! Definitely 5 stars! Keep up the good work, author! Wishing you great success and immense wealth!

Awesome, very well written. He's too cunning; if you met someone like that in real life, you'd be pretty much doomed.

Is the goal to beat someone up, or is the goal to make them wish they were dead? It was okay at first, but then it started to drag on and become difficult.

It's pretty good, at least compared to other books. Anyway, none of the stories about Xu Damao are portrayed as spineless. 👍

A very good novel

Well written: It deeply explores and describes the humanity of the characters; it's refreshing; the scheming and inner thoughts of each person are portrayed more ruthlessly than in ordinary courtyard houses.

Finally, Xu Damao has taken drastic measures. Others claim it's revenge or just flattery, while the mild-mannered ones seem like useless fools.
