Siheyuan: From Apprentice Fitter to Skill-Gathering Bookworm

Already read Chapter 178. This book belongs to the technical stream. Do your own thing well and live your own life. Try not to get involved in other people's cause and effect. This is the attitude of a time traveler. Without so much resentment, life is plain and ordinary. It should be given 9 points or more.

It's written by AI and the editing is okay. Aside from the repetition of the same words and scenes and the inconsistencies in the data, it's still watchable. After thinking about it, I decided to switch to Samsung.

Reading up to chapter 151; Pros: The plot device is very powerful; very little negative emotion, which is good; the pacing is slow, at this rate, it could easily reach 3 million words; Cons: Very little emotion, the characters always seem very calm.

It's alright, watchable, but the scene details and dialogue feel strongly AI-generated.

One of the few I've read so far, the latest version is good. It's large, but much better than other courtyard houses; it's not as superficial. The 6-something rating feels low; other courtyard houses have much higher ratings. Also, this one isn't as demonized. The book doesn't cause any major problems, but when it does, it feels like a shame it didn't.

The writing is fine, the story is reasonable, and even the depiction of the era is realistic and captures the sense of alienation modern people feel in that environment. The way the STEM guy acts—respecting others' fates and only doing his job—is also reasonable. The story is good and has exciting moments, but the ability to handle interpersonal relationships seems deliberately suppressed; it's reasonable but affects the reading experience.

Great book! Great book! Great book! 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚

So far, it's pretty good. There aren't any annoying power struggles or silly talismans; the protagonist is just living his life. The timeline is also good—it's set in 1958, which is quite early. I don't know how some stories that are set in 1965 would have ended up later.

Different perspectives on courtyard houses, well written.

There's nothing messy or chaotic; there are plot devices, but they don't stray too far from the era, making it feel more grounded.
