Needle in a Haystack
The road to becoming a great author isn't easy. I've seen many good books get no exposure and then get dropped, which is heartbreaking. In recent years, I've had to cut back on my spending and can't support the authors I like as much as I'd wish. The least I can do now is avoid pirated copies. I hope we can come together to support outstanding authors. If you find a good book on this list, please support its author with subscriptions, votes, or tips. Thank you.
The Best of Entertainment and Period Dramas (Updated July 14, 2026)
A list of entertainment novels I'm following. If you like this genre, give them a try. I often check the rankings. This genre is relatively easy for new authors to write, but competition is fierce too. I update regularly, so keep an eye on changes to the list's title.

The protagonist is suppressed too hard. The protagonist, a person who has made meritorious service, and a group of people who have not made meritorious service are pickets at the same level.
I thought that there would be no good books in Siheyuan after "Food, Drink, Men and Women" and "Golden Toad Ancestor". I didn't expect that this book is really original and takes a new approach... If the quality is maintained, it is another masterpiece...
Let's change the name to 'The Age of Passion, Beginning with the Siege of Peking'
The author changed the name and it seemed smoother. Now it seems that compared with the Siheyuan colleagues, it is getting more and more off-topic. There are no other faults. I just feel that the author has extremely suppressed and weakened the protagonist, and his IQ seems to be low. Knowledge is supposed to be a strong point. Putting aside some things unique to the era, after all, there is a gap of seventy years. It is understandable that I don't know the details. But the unique vision and knowledge of modern people have also weakened.
The courtyard is just an introduction. 90% Of the protagonist's activities are outside the courtyard, and everyone only shows up occasionally. Then the protagonist keeps catching all kinds of little karami and leads to "The Age of Glory". After seeing this, I don't want to watch it anymore. The author has no grasp of the rhythm. The protagonist is always working like a spinning top, and there are basically no details about his life. It makes my stomach hurt to watch it.
I don't know how old the protagonist was before he traveled through time. The author gave the protagonist the impression of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
The writing is okay and the plot is reasonable. It's just that sometimes Pig's Knuckle is a little timid (wouldn't it be better to send Yi Guixi off before entering the city, or fall into the quadrangle routine and become an unbeatable Xiaoqiang), and sometimes a little reckless (how many times has he been caught, and it's not a fantasy or something where he has to break through between life and death)
The dawn is always so dark. Those who do not experience it are like earthworms, like light emerging and darkness hiding. A very good courtyard novel.

The people's heroes are immortal
I just finished watching "The Foundation". Let me say a few words. When I first read it, I thought it was a time-travel story about a courtyard house. It was nothing more than an article about parents being incompetent, arguing about this and that, and how much money you can make by marrying several wives. But as the plot unfolds, the city of Beijing slowly unfolds on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. The undercurrents before the founding of New China surged, and the heroes and martyrs who sacrificed for the people's life and well-being slowly emerged one by one. Until this chapter, the people's heroes are immortal. Writing is based on small things. People who have no feelings about family and country, who only think about their own exquisite egoism, and are full of various isms will not love this book. They don't understand what revolution is, what a new life is, what it means to be self-reliant and self-confident, and what it means to stand tall and be a human being. I would like to express my highest respect to the heroes of the Chinese nation with this paragraph!
