I really liked the main storyline, but there were a few too few details. The biggest problem was the excessive digressions, which felt like reading comprehension exercises. We're here to read a novel, not to learn the author's insights. I almost gave up several times. The 5 stars are for the main storyline; it's not bad considering the overall quality of this "courtyard house" story. 🤦
Having listened to a few episodes, I can say the author's thinking is clear, taking a different approach from most works in the courtyard genre. Here, I give the author five stars to express my appreciation for their hard work. I hope the author will write more and better works in the future. Finally, I wish the author all the best, may all their wishes come true, and may their wealth flow in!
I enjoy the author's writing; their values are very positive. Keep up the good work, I believe in you! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I don't understand why the rating is so low. I've read at least a hundred novels by Xiaoshui from Courtyard No. 95. I enjoy seeing how different authors portray characters, what different characters do, and how they solve problems—they're all different. But this novel, in terms of writing style, dialogue, event progression, and portrayal of human nature, is the best among similar novels.
Fellow readers, this book has quite a few enjoyable moments, making it a good read during times of reading slump.
This is the pacing of a satisfying read! Although the protagonist's early development is a bit frustrating, it doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment. Of the nearly two hundred courtyard-themed novels I've read, this protagonist, while not having the strongest cheat codes, is currently the fastest to get started and has the highest merit achievement. 🤦🤦🤦
I usually give other people's stories about courtyard houses at least 2 stars, but this book is good and evil rewarded accordingly, it's not drawn out or tedious, the plot is logically sound, and it doesn't insult your intelligence. It's definitely a masterpiece of the courtyard house genre, a good book.
The pacing was damn fast; it was over before I even realized it. But then again, the power level was too high, so it was bound to happen. However, it was really enjoyable to watch—a smooth, unstoppable conquest, dominating the world, with no groveling or pandering scenes. It was a very satisfying read.
Chapter 225 has caught up; the rest will probably involve a global takeover, but that's not my cup of tea anymore. The Siheyuan story ended a long time ago.
Go go go!
