How could you have the nerve to name a book "A Pleasant Life"? It's awful to read.
This book has nothing to do with the main character from beginning to end; it's all about other people's trivial matters, so there's no sense of identification with the protagonist.
I've read over a hundred chapters. There are four major flaws: First, Qin Huairu is portrayed negatively (in the original series, she was a womanizer who flirted with men for personal gain and exploited Sha Zhu; in this novel, she's depicted as a virtuous wife and mother with self-respect); second, the Third Uncle is severely portrayed as a disgusting character; third, in the original series, Sha…
What's with these late chapters? The carefree life has turned into a bitter, resentful mess. I'm speechless.
This article is slow-paced and requires time to develop. Those who prefer quick and easy experiences can leave now. 😊😟😆🙂😁😥
The writing is good, and the logic is also acceptable, but the protagonist is sometimes clever and sometimes confused.
Seeing the title "comfortable" told me it definitely wouldn't be comfortable, just like all those other labels like carefree, leisurely, and sweet were utter nonsense.
Author, shouldn't the Gu family be dealt with by now? It's just making things worse. A whole compound of children got swindled out of several thousand yuan, causing family discord, and you haven't done anything about it at all? You've been waiting way too long.
Subscribing to the whole thing is definitely worth it. Looking at the book reviews, I just want to ask one question: Are people who want to see demonized characters all psychologically twisted?
Well written; one of the better courtyard novels out there, and not too aggressive. This kind of novel is perfect for slow, deliberate writing. If you achieve success, it's easy for it to have a long-lasting, steady success. Look at similar novels; they're mostly several million words long, and their sales have remained consistently good.
