Having read up to Chapter 83, the more I read, the more awkward it became. Does this protagonist have some kind of psychological problem? The people in this courtyard may be atrocious, but at least they haven't harmed you. When you first arrived, an old man helped carry coal, Widow Qin cleaned, and Sha Zhu even helped out in the cafeteria.
Aside from being a bit watery, I can't find any fault with it, which is pretty awesome.
The courtyard fire was mostly due to the disgusting characters, including Sha Zhu. If he weren't lusting after the widow, would he have been so devoted? And his sister, Yu Shui, didn't seem to care much for him. People read fanfiction to change the plot and give the wicked justice, to give everyone a fair outcome. This book, however, is terrible.
The writing style is fine, but the values are problematic. They keep trying to whitewash Widow Qin; I don't know what they're thinking.
Very promising, very creative, the characters are unique and vividly portrayed. The early stages are a bit slow, but it stays true to itself. If it doesn't collapse later on, it will definitely become a hit! Bonus chapters available now!
I didn't find any of the actresses attractive, but I can't help liking period novels. They're mostly set in courtyard houses, so I had to endure the nausea. Don't even mention Hao Lei's looks. She came from a rural background and worked as a low-level steelworker for several years in that era; she couldn't possibly be beautiful. Her skin would definitely be dry and sallow, and her figure would be completely out of shape due to her work. It's truly bizarre that anyone likes her.
Hopefully, they won't try to have their cake and eat it too, and just sit on the sidelines fanning the flames and watching the show.
I'm wondering if it's true that in the 1960s, secondhand furniture cost 100 yuan. That's impossible. Back then, bicycles only cost a little over 100 yuan.
Why bother taking in Qin Huairu and her ilk if we're starting over in this courtyard house? If you want to build a family, having these ungrateful wretches around will only lower your standards and make things difficult for you! He accuses Sha Zhu of lusting after women, but he's no better, taking in just any woman! Widow and Women Terminator 😅
A little joke: The Koreans said they all belonged to them. Jia Zhangshi: Bullshit, don't care whose they are, great joke, go get them.
