High-Quality Plagiarism Fiction
There are tons of novels about authors who plagiarize, but the works they copy are usually pretty basic. Take songs, for example: aside from Jay Chou, they're mostly generic viral hits. I'd like recommendations where they copy songs and novels of a higher caliber, and the plot flows better.

Chapter 105 updated... The writing is good, but the male lead is already surrounded by enemies even before reaching his 'special period,' seemingly without anyone he can trust. His life is akin to that of a secret agent, which is a bit depressing to read.
Based on my reading of less than a hundred chapters, the author's writing style and logic are quite good. It's rare to find a story about a courtyard house where the author doesn't go completely crazy without reading the entire "Old Lady" chapter. Regarding the idea of establishing an independent household, I have some different opinions.
This is the first of hundreds of courtyard novels I've read. Although it uses the courtyard house theme, the courtyard house plot isn't extensive, and there's no repetitive or drawn-out suspense. It's the one with the most solid plot I've ever read, and the author's writing is truly excellent. The plot is getting increasingly weak.
The male protagonist has a clear mind. He plans everything carefully before acting, avoiding impulsiveness and recklessness. His wealth accumulation is impressive, and he targets his enemies precisely. This is a unique courtyard-themed novel; the logic throughout is sound, making it a very enjoyable read.
Keep up the good work, author! The plot and exciting moments of this book are all top-notch. What's truly commendable is the author's consistent interaction with readers, addressing flaws pointed out by readers without shying away from them and promptly correcting any shortcomings. The attitude is impeccable; it deserves a five-star review.
This book is intensely violent, though not as much as the heated arguments in the courtyard, but it feels even more intense than those typical quarrels. Those who enjoy backstabbing are truly blessed.
In the stillness of the night, all is quiet, save for the faint glow of my phone. Having finished a chapter, I'm still captivated; my heart has risen and fallen with the plot, my soul has journeyed with the protagonist across the starry sky. Yet—"Tomorrow's update," those four words are like a lock, locking away a thousand thoughts, a boundless passion.
This is truly well-written; it's the best-written online novel I've ever read. I even doubt if you're from modern times. However, some plot points don't quite fit the historical context. Life wasn't as prosperous in 1958, and meat wasn't something you could just find on a simple trip.
I've been following this book closely and have reached the latest chapter. It's well-written and quite to my liking. While there are a few minor flaws, overall it's excellent. It's rare to read a book and still follow one consistently. Keep up the good work, author!
Honestly, I've read quite a few stories about courtyard houses, but I rarely comment on them; at most, I'll write something out of pure interest. This one was recommended on the homepage a few times, and I initially thought it would be the same formula as those time-traveling novels set in the US or Hong Kong.
