It's really well written and a very comfortable read, unlike those who force themselves to write in a courtyard house, as if they can't write without living in a courtyard house.
It's very pleasant to watch. The characters in the courtyard are well-portrayed and not too demonic. Keep it up!
I've read up to chapter 20 and I think the protagonist is great—neither pretentious nor reckless. The characters in the courtyard are also well-developed, and Jia Zhangshi fits her character perfectly. The amount of meddling in other people's affairs isn't excessive, which is good.
Why is it only 7:00? It should be at least 9:00. This is the best novel I've read out of dozens of stories about courtyard houses. Other novels only depict ministers, bureau chiefs, or researchers living in courtyard houses, constantly fighting with the other people there. They don't even have their own independent courtyards. Is that reasonable?
It's very well written, capturing both patriotism and the minutiae of daily life. It depicts the various situations within a courtyard house while also extending beyond its intricate details. The only drawback is that it's too short. How can an author not update ten chapters a day? Even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare take such a break! 😏😏😏 Also, please don't stop updating or leave the story unfinished. Keep writing, and you could be the next great writer.
After reading so many stories about cuckoldry at the beginning, or about poor people in the past, these kinds of books are getting a lot of readers. 👍👍 I didn't read the rest, chapter 195, 2 stars. Since you wrote that Yi Zhonghai cheated Sha Zhu out of 17 or 18 years' worth of money, and then actually went to Yi Zhonghai to negotiate after finding out, that's outrageous! 👍👍 In Lin Guodong's eyes, Sha Zhu deserved it, huh? 🤮🤮
This guy uses a family to illustrate the development of China's reform and opening up. It's pretty well written. The main characters are the entire Lin family, showing the different levels of development of the eldest and second sons' families. It's really well-written, but also very easy to miss. If you're interested, give it a try, though you never know when it might get taken down. 🤦🤦🤦🤦
I finished it in one day. It's very good, with a strong sense of the era, fitting the historical context well. The writing is concise and insightful, the logic is clear, and the plot is captivating. A masterpiece. The rating is too low; it should be above 9.3. I hope you continue your excellent writing!
It's good; the language is simple and down-to-earth. It fits the historical context very well, and I enjoy reading it.
It's relatively objective, unlike some typical system novels that are a jumbled mess. I just hope the author will update more chapters, using the courtyard house as a focal point, and focus more on the protagonist's official management skills and his contributions to technological and cultural development.
