Shadow Drifter: Starting from the Siheyuan

Dozens of chapters are all about the same thing: picking up used shoes instead of getting married. It's too repetitive. I couldn't continue reading after chapter 40. The previous book, *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*, was much more interesting. At least it had the secondary element of martial arts techniques to improve strength, and it also changed the plot. Unlike this book, the plot doesn't change much throughout.

Even after padded 90+ chapters, they still can't fix it. They insist on having a completely original female lead in every arc, like in their previous book. Doesn't that get tiresome? 🤓

Hopefully, the hostility won't get too much later on.

The book's rhythm is like this: first, you give a woman away to someone else to play with, then you pick her up to play with again, then you give her away to someone else, then you pick her up again, repeating this rhythm. It's like a worn-out shoe, worn out within a worn-out shoe. Author, you really know how to write! Even a self-heating hot pot restaurant isn't as exciting as this! Brilliant!

I feel the author has gone astray. The flirtatiousness is just an embellishment; the plot is always the core. Now every world is formulaic: enter a new world—women throw themselves at you—constant flirting—open a new world. The key point is that even if you read it as erotica, the female protagonists are completely homogenous and have no unique characteristics.

Ode to Joy is written like a historical drama; even if you're not picky about food, you can't stomach Qu Xiaoxiao! 😅

The difference between humans and animals lies in having a bottom line; this book is the birth of an animal.

The copies of the previous book are, in order: A Little Reunion, Courtyard House, Qiao Family Children, Nothing But Thirty & Twenty Not Confused, Ode to Joy, Golden Years, Heart Residence, Little Reunion, Yu Huanshui, The First Half of My Life, So Young, Like a Flowing River, Fleeting Years & Once Upon a Time, Ordinary People's Song, River of Sadness & Summer Solstice & Tiny Times, The Story of…

I hope the author will write fewer original female protagonists.

She hasn't improved at all; she's still the same old female lead, still spending her money on overseas travel. Most importantly, she's the same female lead in every world, just with a different name. It's ridiculous. Doesn't the author get tired of writing like this?
