It would be even better if the story includes corpse driving, paper effigies, soul refining, and witchcraft. Ideally, there shouldn't be any cheat powers.

The content is good, but some details are not well written. In the first battlefield, the tree died and there was no mention of cleaning up the battlefield. It is unclear when the tree heart was taken. Later, a patch was added, showing that the female ghost paper doll secretly took it.
Not bad, 4 stars Strengths: The writing is quite good, neither too warm nor too cold, and it tells the story in a gentle and flowing manner. Weaknesses: Excellent but not amazing; it meets the standard but doesn't quite live up to expectations.
There are no cheat codes or special abilities involved, which makes it very reassuring, and it makes me, the reader, feel very at ease reading it... The protagonist has good values and is decisive when it's time to act, but he never abandons his principles. I have a feeling this book will probably reach several million words if it's to be well-written.
The beginning was quite good, with a touch of hometown warmth. However, I felt there were a few flaws: 1. Did Xu Er's soul not dissipate but merge with the protagonist? He accepted his family so instantly. 2. Why didn't the protagonist accept payment for saving people after returning to his hometown?
It's pretty good. I saw an update on Tomato, so I checked it out. The plot and characters are good, and the protagonist's personality is well-developed and fleshed out. Although it cultivates unorthodox methods, it's not a story about evil cultivation.
It's not bad so far, it's quite well written, keep it up! The early parts were indeed quite engaging and realistic, but later on... The author mentioned giving the protagonist a "golden finger" (a special ability or advantage), which I initially thought meant his own abilities. Turns out, it means pairing him with a ghost wife, the kind they even sleep with at night.
It's well-written and quite solid. Later on, I could consider bringing my family to the city; otherwise, if the harvest fails and things get chaotic in the countryside, my family might die.
In most families, readers would dislike it if the protagonist interfered in everything. However, this protagonist's family is genuinely loving and harmonious. The protagonist's eldest brother, 23, couldn't find a wife in ancient times due to poverty. The family, with only five taels of silver left, didn't object at all.
It's really well written, steady and methodical without being hasty, and the writing style is also excellent—a fine piece!
Delicate descriptions, the everyday life of ordinary people, day and night.
