i've once read Protect Our Patriarch's author notes after like 1 volume, where the author said he had written this novel with a system but he scrapped it as he still had some ambition and wanted to write something challenging to appease his little author's heart, saying that he appreciates the support but doesn't write it for money and donations but for himself, also so that he doesn't get rusty. He also made fun of other authors, saying something like ,,writing a novel with system is too easy, but i can't bring out various plot into my novel because there's no tension, no setbacks just use system and done, what's the point". He won my appreciation:D So instead, in his novel, the reincarnated MC relies on himself but also wrote some "system templates" on a paper (so that he can think more clearly when the information like amount of ranks, family money etc is presented in an orderly manner) and made his imagination work out the rest. MC said it's also because he has to make it up like that for the lack of his own cheat.

So yeah most of the time system novels will be written by newbie writers or those with less skill (maybe as a way to make money or increase their social credit). Just like you said, some of these novels make no sense because the author simply can't write a thought-out novel with realistic human behavior and reactions in a given scenario, instead we get forced plot and braindead/2nd characters where the system is the centre of the stage and the rest more of a irrelevant side dish or system's stepping stones.

Is protect our patriarch good? I've never heard of it so. Could really use some good novels lol.

Where did you read that novel? I looked on NU and there were less than 10 chapters translated

Unfortunately i went for mtl (mtlnovel). Nowadays there aren't many good novels to read, and i stumbled upon this title while finishing mtl of some other currently translated novels (from comments).

it's always possible that the fights or pew pew become more common in later volumes as the author might be focusing on world background, setting key pieces on the board and so on, as the first 132 chapters have barely dealed with any cultivation sects, they were mostly mentioned about how families send kids to train there and how the MC wants some talents to become family talents not sect's. Either way there's probably no chance he ever joins other sect unless he goes undercover on a mission or makes some kind of family sect :D

I especially liked one of side characters, don't remember exactly how it went so pardon if i don't speak exactly as it is in the novel, but i think MC spoke some tales from his world's fantasy books to make the ambitions of his family children rise up, and one of the little girls in family who's clearly made to be a fighter-character became kinda obsessed about how the main character is her and she keeps speaking some funny stuff about how she gonna protect everyone, how it's her time to shine or settle matters, that she's gonna take over the family as patriatrch, that she will protect humanity, break through human cultivation realms and become invincible and so on haha. And i think she even called herself a daddy when she was beating someone. Overall these family members really have courage to stand up for family just like the title says. in volume 1 they already showed how they will not let others harm their patriarch as the MC became the pillar that they can trust and that they believe will make their family prosper.

I get why he was jealous Like Who in the world would want to bE ordinary? And imagine you have a sibling that is greater than you in almost all aSpects althought he loves his siSter deeply who in The worlD Wouldnt bE jealous

I dont know if you've ever had a job but to work 3 of them is absolutely insane. if you have the tenacity to work that much then you can easily get through college if you focus. she has a job that can support them now he could focus fully on school if he really wanted. instead the author gives him the bs excuse of being jealous.

I agree for you. И таким образом автор говорит что это нормально не учиться и в какой-то мере поощряет такое поведение. Да, главному герою можно посочувствовать, но разве он не может уделить себе внимание, когда ситуация улучшилась? И ладно он не учиться, так как ему действительно может быть сложно, все таки прошло время и в Китае может требоваться снова сдавать их экзамены, которые достаточно сложны. Но герой в тоже время не предпринимает никаких действий по улучшению своей квалификации даже в такой ситуации (так как наличие образования не всегда плюс и думаю вполне хватает работы, которая может позволить человеку работать даже так). К примеру, герой мог стать таксистом или водителем. Для этого нужны только права и автомобиль, а для некоторых водителей по сути нужны только желание (типа водителей городских трамваев, троллейбусов и автобусов). Не знаю как в Китае, но у нас в стране работодатель готов обучать людей в рамках данных профессией и платить зарплату, что по идее будет повыше по размеру, чем у обычного курьера (тем более героя штрафуют за плохую доставку). А так герой, как и в других системных романах не слишком напрягается после "годов страданий" и не только становиться лучше, но и решает все проблемы и другое.

I read this novel too and i like plot! Но у новеллы тоже имеются свои недостатки на более поздних моментах, хотя в большинстве своем имеет кучу плюсов. Начиная с достаточно реалистичного сюжета и хорошей логики повествования, так и наличие интересных персонажей
