I love stories with multiple female protagonists in traditional courtyard houses, and not the kind with original female protagonists. I hate stories that use traditional courtyard houses as a backdrop to create original female protagonists; they don't resonate with the characters.
I listened to it once and watched it again. Overall, it's good, and the pacing is excellent. My only complaint is that I hope the author can update 10,000 words a day 🤭 otherwise, it's not enough to read! Since discovering this new book, I've been following it to 170,000 words now, and it seems the author wants to write a slow-paced, slice-of-life story set in a traditional courtyard house.
Whether it's good or not is another matter, but the author is getting more and more excited as they write! I hope all you readers will support my new book! If you don't like it, please be gentle, thank you all, I'm bowing down to you in gratitude! 💕💕💕
The first twenty chapters were well-written, although there were many plot holes and it didn't quite reflect the actual historical period. But it was enjoyable to read, so I'll give it five stars for now and give you a thumbs up. I'll see how it gets later.
I've read up to chapter 47. It's reasonable for him to take Qin Huai Gu and Lou Xiao E as his concubines (at least they've met a few times, and then he'll have sex with them when the opportunity arises). It's a story about multiple women and a satisfying read. The characters' bodies haven't been enhanced. 3A bodies can be considered young and vigorous, but 4A and 5A bodies have no extraordinary bone marrow that has been absorbed and dissolved!
However, there's a catch: these work permits are issued like crazy in a short period, basically one every few days. Pigs are also consistently available. The Jia family house collapsed, and the protagonist was riding a tricycle recklessly in the snow. If you were a policeman, wouldn't you have noticed the clear tire tracks outside and immediately identified the suspect?
Five stars! I'm so envious of the main character! 😄😄😄
Five stars, definitely five stars. Although I've only read 25 chapters, just based on the author's 90% reply rate to comments, it's worth it.
The story has a fresh perspective, a new twist on an old theme, and many plot points are not clichéd. I really like it and give the author five stars. I'll read the subsequent reviews later. I've read many novels about courtyard houses, hoping to glean more information from the authors and experience those times firsthand. I longed for a more authentic portrayal of the era.
A really enjoyable book! 👍👍👍 Keep it up!
