   Reader note

   "The Courtyard: Sending the Jia Family Mother and Son to Jail at the Start" is definitely the most "hardcore" among the courtyard-themed derivative novels! While other protagonists are still testing the waters, Ji Bufan enters the courtyard with a "table-flipping" attribute—he transmigrates with a game system, and upon inheriting his uncle's property, he stumbles upon the Jia family occupying the house. Without saying a word, he confronts them head-on, not only disfiguring Jia Dongxu on the spot but also reporting them to the authorities, vowing to send these "beasts" to jail. This "zero-tolerance" violent style is so intense that the words "violent" are etched onto the cover. The protagonist's setting is arguably the "ceiling" of system-based novels. His bound game system can bring virtual items into reality, from roasted chicken legs to weapons and equipment, and character leveling up can even enhance his physique. With the system's support, 16-year-old Ji Bufan can easily dodge Jia Dongxu's stick, and a sweeping leg kick sends the opponent's face brushing the ground two meters away, his combat power directly crushing the courtyard's "God of War," Sha Zhu. Even more ruthless is the system's death sentence: one must live in the courtyard for twenty years, or face extermination—this isn't a constraint, it's clearly forcing the protagonist to relentlessly punish everyone in the courtyard. The plot starts off high-octane and is nonstop. Ji Bufan is immediately called a "little beast" by Jia Zhangshi and ambushed by Jia Dongxu with a stick. While others might have swallowed their anger, he immediately retaliates. Not content with that, he goes to the neighborhood committee to stage a mournful protest, even daring to say things like, "I'll bring a hundred or eighty villagers to raze the courtyard," forcing the neighborhood committee to call the police for backup overnight. This unconventional behavior completely exposes the arrogance of the Jia family, the hypocrisy of Yi Zhonghai, and the indifference of the Third Uncle. The character development is full of "fierce struggle" tension. Ji Bufan is not a good person in the traditional sense; he is vindictive and adept at using magic to defeat magic—if you throw a tantrum, I'll wail; if you lay a hand on me, I'll strike hard; if you rely on your age, I'll invoke official power. Faced with Qin Huairu's tears and Yi Zhonghai's moral blackmail, he didn't even raise an eyelid, his mind only focused on how to use the resources in the game to crush his opponents. The greed of the Jia family mother and son, Jia Dongxu's stupidity, and Yi Zhonghai's attempts to smooth things over all became "experience packs" for Ji Bufan to complete his system tasks. The most satisfying aspect is its "zero-nonsense" pacing. There's no lengthy setup; it jumps straight to the house-occupation conflict, followed by a violent counterattack, and then directly calling for reinforcements and overturning the table. Ji Bufan's goal is clear and brutal: either send the beasts to jail or buy the entire courtyard house, ending his twenty-year sentence early. This "either endure or be ruthless" survival philosophy transforms the chaotic scene in the courtyard house into a thoroughly satisfying "house-cleaning." If you're tired of the frustrating plots where the protagonist is bullied for ages before retaliating, and want to see a ruthless character with a cheat-like advantage stylishly deal with the beasts in the courtyard house, then this book will definitely make your blood pressure soar and leave you wanting more. It tells you in the most direct way: when dealing with thugs, there's no need to reason; having a strong fist and powerful backing are the only true principles. After all, sending someone like Jia Zhangshi to jail is the most satisfying part in itself.
