Looking for a Highly Re-readable Novel That Doesn't Make Things Up As It Goes
Any Low-Key Novels Focused on Everyday Life?
No System, and not too much face-slapping.
This One's Pretty Good, but Everything Else Is Garbage
Looking for stories like "Forgotten Tags".
Looking for Down-to-Earth Farming and Era-Era Novels with No Golden Finger
I'm looking for books like The Xie Family's Short-Lived Ghost Lived to Be a Hundred.
Any Ancient-Era Coastal Foraging Novels Where the Heroine Builds Her Fortune by the Sea?
The heroine transmigrates to an era of fleeing famine or to ancient times, settles by the sea, and makes a living from the ocean.
Please Help Me Find This Story
Could you all help me out? I read a book a while ago set in space. The heroine had presumably transmigrated and knew how to farm. She went off to kill an octopus, then turned it into something delicious. The story was pretty funny, and the male lead was probably an officer.
Reborn-Era Novels, Successful Farming Stories, and Urban Fiction
Something good!
Maybe It’s Because I’m Chinese, but I’ve Always Preferred Farming Stories
I like farming, female-dominant worlds, mysticism, quick transmigration, pocket dimensions, and System stories. I don't want stories that start strong but end badly, have poor writing, or have stopped updating. Ongoing stories are fine too, as long as they are still being updated and well written.
#SharingMyBookshelf
I like all kinds of stories: adorable kids doted on by everyone, pocket spaces, farming, golden fingers, school life, urban settings, strong female leads, and comedy.

I stayed up for a whole day and night to finish watching it, my eyes are almost blind now, which shows the rating is obviously too low, it should be above 9.4.
It's been a long time since I've had this feeling of reading a book in one go without sleeping. There's no extraordinary space, no magic pen that turns lead to gold; it's all about struggling and persevering, taking one step at a time. Through seemingly insignificant events, the story depicts the protagonist's ordinary life in ancient times—a modern person reborn into a different body, filled with resentment and helplessness.
Although the characters are all ordinary people, the writing is very realistic; many of them are relatable to people we encounter around us. Ordinary yet wonderful. Well-written and insightful; highly recommended!
The reader's emotions rise and fall with the plot, and the content is simple and unadorned, creating a strong sense of immersion. Years of reading have made my tastes increasingly discerning. These days, most authors' titles are quite mediocre, making them immediately unreadable!
I've read a lot of books lately, but none of them had a plot that kept me reading from beginning to end. This book, however, I devoured in one go, although there were some parts I wanted to criticize. But I have to say it's definitely the best I've read recently.
Well, this novel is actually quite realistic. It doesn't have any so-called cheat codes or systems. It's basically about how people get to where they are step by step, which lives up to the title "Ordinary People." That's exactly how it is. A score of 7.9 is too low; I think a score of 9.5 would be more fair.
After reading the reviews, most readers felt the same way: even ordinary transmigration stories without any special abilities can be captivating, and I agree. However, I personally dislike some of the female lead's views and the male lead's remarriage without divorce—it feels like he wants to have his cake and eat it too.
This book is very realistic. A modern person traveling to ancient times doesn't have that many cheat codes. In a feudal society where men reign supreme, it's not that easy! Even if your family members are extremely powerful, you can't do anything in an era where clans are paramount. That's reality. The author writes well; this is Qiu Se's life, and it's real life! It's the life of an ordinary person who travels through time!
There are no cheat codes or unrealistic power-ups; the focus is on realism. The male and female leads are ordinary people with flesh and blood, making the story more relatable. Compared to stories where the male lead is always incredibly handsome and the female lead is stunningly beautiful, this one resonates more deeply. Life always has its disappointments, but thankfully, after all the trials and tribulations, you're still there for me!
It's a really good read. It's about the daily struggles of ordinary people. I want to read it two or three times. It's a very down-to-earth time-travel novel. Where do so many people who get superpowers as soon as they time-travel come from?
