Chronicles of a Farming Family

Regardless of what others say, I have learned a lot from this book: how to be a wife and mother, how to be kind to others and set a good example for my children, how women should manage a household, and how men should take charge of affairs. This book is so well written, it's really, really good.

After looking at dozens of pages, I feel that the author is the kind of person who defends feudal dregs such as the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.

Even for a seasoned bookworm like me, I only managed to read 10 chapters of this book before finally giving up!

This is so verbose! I've never read such a long-winded piece of writing. Almost every event is introduced with a lengthy lecture from the author, and after the lecture, the author doesn't even clearly explain what happened, jumping directly to everyday life or the next event, then back to the previous event, again with lengthy lectures in between. Regardless of the content of the lectures, this narrative style is just too unpleasant.

The main character's family is incredibly saintly; everyone else is practically defecating on their heads, yet they still expect them to be returned to their ancestral home for support, and all they have to do is remove them from the clan... Even in ancient times, when reputation was highly valued, this wasn't the way to do it. This kind of soft-hearted approach to interpersonal relationships is disheartening.

I couldn't stand watching the main character's family adopt children. If they really wanted to do good, they should have just started an orphanage. If it was just to expand their family's influence, they shouldn't have made themselves sound so noble.

The author's writing style is good, but it may not be suitable for writing web novels. To be honest, if readers can't even get through the first 10 chapters, no matter how exciting the later chapters are, probably not many people will read them. After all, there are plenty of novels on various websites, and most readers will choose to give up if they don't like the beginning of the novel, because they can always find a better one.

I was initially interested in the book because of its title, but I lost interest after reading the reviews, especially the one about the so-called "three obediences and four virtues"—it was completely absurd!

The author's writing style is really good, with a touch of prose, but it's not quite suitable for writing novels. There are too many adjectives, especially in the first few chapters where the plot doesn't unfold well and seems particularly chaotic. There's also too much psychological description, and the appropriate use of indirect characterization and dialogue hints would have been better.

After reading 40 chapters, the transmigrated and reborn protagonist has played no role whatsoever. If the author hadn't mentioned that she was the protagonist, no one would have recognized her.
