Siheyuan: I Started with a Fortune of Ten Billion and Want Nothing to Do with Those Beasts

I don't understand why this one has such a low score. The author has over a dozen "Courtyard House" series across two accounts, and I think this one is the best. The old deaf woman is exceptionally well-written, perfectly capturing the mindset of that era, unlike those revenge-themed works that rely on outdated methods in modern China.

The plot is fresh and refreshing! The ending was too abrupt and not quite perfect; there could have been a few more chapters! There aren't many courtyard novels these days that you can read in one sitting. I hope the author keeps up the good work!

Four stars, I'd say. The main characters moved out of the courtyard house in chapter 10-15, then moved back in a dozen chapters later! The Yi Zhonghai couple died in chapter 60—that was fast! Then comes Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi. Nothing new, nothing particularly good or bad.

The description is quite good. The protagonist is a cunning old fox, not a reckless brute who relies solely on force. It's very immersive, allowing you to connect with the character. Although he has supernatural abilities, they aren't overly used or described, which makes it a hundred times better than most novels. Although it's a bit short, it's still a very enjoyable read.

It gets better and better with each chapter, a wonderful surprise for longtime fans. I wonder if Zhang Shi's several pen names are all by the same author, but it's just so good!

For books about courtyard houses, you absolutely must read the first few chapters carefully. Most readers give up if the first few pages aren't interesting, so it's not easy to grab the reader's attention in the first few chapters. This book is really good, highly recommended.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This is one of the best courtyard house-themed novels I've ever read. The protagonist is intelligent, logically sound, and has almost no major flaws. The only regret is that the author's writing is a bit short and weak, leaving me wanting more.

I'm going to binge-read this now! This is the best courtyard novel I've ever read, bar none. I'm sure the rating will go up later. Author, keep up the good work! Love you, muah! 💋

This book isn't the best, but I think it's a hundred times better than over 70% of authors who write about courtyard houses. It truly achieves a balance of ruthlessness and efficiency, making life quite comfortable. I'd give it at least an 8 or higher. No arguments accepted. Other authors, take a look at what kind of letters of understanding you've written.

I've read at least five books on the theme of "Siheyuan" (courtyard houses), but never commented on any of them. This is the only one I read that made me want to say something. The book has its own unique perspective; while it doesn't have many chapters, the content is rich and comprehensive, offering a glimpse into the world from the viewpoint of an individual who isn't directly involved. It's highly recommended.
