    A true farming novel, featuring communal living. With 11,000 reviews and a 9.6 Rating, you can imagine how good this book is. Unlike other period novels, the protagonist never blatantly flaunts his wealth. The communal living is meticulously planned, with precise time management. The characters' personalities are vividly portrayed through their interactions with others, showcasing their intelligence and resourcefulness. The protagonist's timid and submissive demeanor at home in the first few chapters initially deterred me, but after persevering, I discovered it was truly excellent.
