    Don't have high expectations for novels about courtyard houses; they're passable but barely readable. There are many more on my bookshelf.

    ⭐These are all highly recommended. If there are any inconsistencies, please don't be offended; they're all excellent works! None are mindless! 1️⃣ This one, "Pillar," is the best, bar none. Disagree? Let's debate! The female lead is original and incredibly well-developed! The protagonist's cheat code is his son! He raised him himself! An amazing father! 2️⃣ This "Silly Pillar" is hilarious~ As long as you don't give up, there's always a way. Let's all become cooks together! This one steals the spotlight from Qin Huairu's masterpiece! 3️⃣ This quirky novel focuses on a Gen Z character reforming the workplace~ 4️⃣ Normal values, not overly aggressive. 5️⃣ Entertainment novel. 6️⃣ & 7️⃣ A hodgepodge. 6️⃣ The world-building is primarily "Under One Person" + Harry Potter. 7️⃣ The world-building is primarily the world of tomb raiding, and a bunch of different eras. 8️⃣ Probably the pinnacle of lighthearted fiction~
