Siheyuan: Starting in 1979

Those educated youth who returned to the city in 1979, without taking the college entrance exam or looking for work, just wandering around Beijing—how ignorant they must have been! Even if they wanted to go into business later, they should have settled down first and waited for the right opportunity! Going to university through the college entrance exam and getting a job are both ways to expand one's network of contacts.

Let's not even talk about other issues; the fact that there's no chapter title alone is enough to guarantee it's a complete flop!

What kind of garbage is this? It's incoherent, has no title, and the male lead is utterly unlikable. Is this some kind of melodramatic soap opera? And he's even involved with that idiot Zhu and the widow Qin—it's disgusting!

Extremely Poisonous I've read 20 chapters. This is the most outrageous courtyard house story I've ever read, bar none. Returning educated youth, no money, no job, no house, not going to university, no system space, not getting married, a mama's boy... Awesome!

A complete mess, a demonized courtyard house, full of either stupidity or malice.

Going back to a courtyard house at 79? I'm almost 30, it's completely unnecessary. The craze for courtyard houses has passed, why bother trying to emulate them? It's like joining the Kuomintang in 1949, why bother?

The first two chapters made it seem like a proper period novel, but the third chapter begins to demonize the people in the courtyard. Goodbye.

The moral standards are too low. The main character has become a teddy bear, and even the sister-in-law is having an affair. It's disgusting. I'm dropping it.

The writing style is not bad, but why use a courtyard house setting as a backdrop? You write about a local who inexplicably possesses extraordinary abilities; how can the reader relate to him?

The latest chapter is disgusting. Is the protagonist broke or single? He's even eyeing his own brother's wife.
