It's alright, with a fairly classic style. However, the protagonist lacks flexibility and doesn't seem to have much of a modern mindset; it feels like the time travel is just a fad.
I've read part of it so far. Overall, it's somewhat like an episodic drama, leaning towards the supernatural, but not scary or oppressive. It's more like a ghost story or similar work, using ghosts to explore human nature. The cultivation theory system is borrowed from Taoist internal alchemy. The plot isn't a lighthearted, action-packed story; it's rather calm and slice-of-life.
This is a rare gem among Tomato's works, but it's a pity it might have performed better on Qidian. Tomato's writing pace is generally too fast, and there's a lack of slice-of-life stories like this, so the rating is a bit low. I once read a novel called "The Return of the Music King," which is similar in style, but not as heartwarming; it's more understated.
I'm 26 this year, and since I was 13, I've been reading novels of all genres. What attracts me most about novels is how they conjure vivid images in my mind, making me feel as if I'm briefly experiencing different lives alongside the protagonist. Over the years, I've read many works, but I've never seriously left a review.
This is the best part of the supernatural genre I've seen so far, but there's one thing that really bothers me: the second son, Lin Fu. Sometimes he sees things but doesn't tell his father. Although I know he's worried about his father, it still makes me a little uneasy.
This is amazing! After scrolling through Tomatoes all day, I finally found a great novel. The author's writing is excellent. I didn't like the premise at first, but after reading just two pages, I was hooked and kept reading. The author's expression of ideas is also fantastic. Highly recommend it! Everyone should read it! I'm going to recommend it to others!
It's a great read; the characters are very vivid, and the theme is clear. Although not many people read it, just like the stories the protagonist writes—it doesn't follow the crowd but writes what it believes in—there will always be people who appreciate this kind of well-written, unconventional, and engaging novel.
I've binged the whole thing right now, and it's a really good novel for me. The author not only writes a vivid and relatable story, but also effectively conveys the themes they want to express, bringing the characters to life. It's very enjoyable. However, I saw the author's comment that they're currently losing control, letting the protagonist lead the way, and the outline has gone off track.
It's good, but there's one thing I don't understand. I've read over 100 chapters of the second volume, and the wife usually takes care of the children, and she's already overwhelmed with them. Couldn't they have a maid or something to help with the kids and housework? It feels a bit like a forced integration of modern life into an ancient setting. After all, they've lived in ancient times for over 20 years; I don't think they'd be so strongly influenced by modern thinking.
My first impression was that the author portrays the protagonist as someone with a delicate and prone-to-overthinking personality, somewhat repressed and depressed, but thankfully still trying to save himself. The narrative style reminded me of Natsume's Book of Friends and Natsume Soseki, with its somewhat melancholic and understated Japanese writing style.
