A Reading Slump Is the Norm
2026 2024: Another difficult year-end, but at last, a new year 2023: A new year, a new chapter 2022: Hit a wall and went in circles looking for a door. Guess I'll need an axe. 2021: Stepped in a pile of crap in real life during the first lunar month. Sigh, at least the world of web novels is safe. 2021: Stay safe. It's 2020, and it's so hard to find anything readable these days. Either the male lead grovels over a woman, or a bunch of women grovel over the male lead... And the mindless panderi

There are other unreasonable aspects. A poor family relying on their parents for subsidies might have their wife, who earns money, suddenly become well-off and eat well every day. Even if a few families who benefited from this arrangement wouldn't complain, in a large courtyard with a dozen or twenty households, someone would inevitably see it and report it.
Marrying Liang Ladi is like winning a whole football team – incredibly awesome!
There's just one problem: everyone clearly warned me to hurry up with work because there might be issues! All you do all day is mess around on social media? Even if you're worried about the pork spoiling, you should deal with it immediately, but after that, why don't you check on work?
If this continues, the author's career is basically over by the afternoon. I suggest the author study I Have a Home in 1982 written by Full Metal Eggshell, and learn from their character development and satisfying moments. The protagonist of this book is too pathetic, utterly hopeless.
Everything else is well-written and doesn't have many trivial details. It's just that the food scenes are giving me a toothache. Every meal is meat—chicken, pork, ribs, dumplings—every single day! I've seen several people tell the author this, and the author even said he'd eat it secretly. In that tiny courtyard house, if they cook something delicious, who wouldn't smell it?
I couldn't stand it anymore. The rest was just mindless writing about writing songs for others, and then the little girl was acting crazy. Yes, she was acting crazy, not at all like the spoiled girl the author described.
See the author's stubbornness The author stubbornly insists that eating a little meat every day won't get him reported, while other people in the courtyard houses secretly eat their food. The author's character, however, complains about not eating enough meat even though he eats meat three times a day. He raises the protagonist's children like princes and princesses.
It gets more and more exaggerated, with songs popping up one after another, each more classic than the last, and even some in English. There's basically no other plot left; I'm not reading anymore.
The synopsis is giving me the headache. The author, you don't actually need to time travel to raise seven children for someone else. 🙂
Paying Jia Zhangshi every month to help take care of the child—no wonder she's a time traveler; she doesn't care that the child isn't her own.
