Looking for something like "My 1959: Starting with Snatching an Opportunity". Please, a highly rated period novel, and don't make the characters stupid.

Looking for Novels Where the Protagonist Watches the Story Unfold Without Interfering, Just Lazing Around and Enjoying the Gossip

Stories Set in a Bygone Era, No Military Marriages
Looking for books similar to "I Transmigrated into a Book Set in the 1970s and Found the Toughest Guy in the Village". The male lead should be a rough, tough village guy or something like that. No having multiple children, and please don't make him a soldier in a military marriage plot. There are way too many of those, and they're not very original.

I laughed from beginning to end. The author is truly humorous. As a bookworm with over a decade of reading experience, spending all my time immersed in novels, it's rare to find a novel these days that can hold my attention for even a third of the way through. But I devoured this one in one go, and even as I was about to finish it, I couldn't put it down. Although the story is simple, it's incredibly immersive and vividly descriptive.
It's pretty good! I was misled by some of the reviews and missed it several times before I finally decided to click and check it out. In the end, I was pleasantly surprised! 😂😂😂
The female lead is super cool! The male lead goes from being a withdrawn, clueless kid to a doting husband! Although there are many awful characters in the village, the female lead's revenge against them is quite satisfying! I started watching two days ago and it's really good, five stars!
Personally, I think it's a very good watch. The female lead is very strong-willed and doesn't bully the weak with a gun. It's very realistic in that era. There are many poor people who lack manners, and beating them up would only cause more trouble. The most important thing is to become strong yourself, and only then will others respect you.
It's quite good, especially the first half, which is very enjoyable and humorous. The latter part becomes more serious and less engaging. The relationship between the male and female leads is well-written! Through gradual growth, they care for and support each other, finally she's not just a female lead who enjoys the male lead's sacrifices—fantastic!
It's alright, you can read it if you're looking for something to read, the story is finished, so it's a decent read. The female lead's personality is one of overwhelming strength, she never suffers a loss, and she always seeks revenge. Her special ability is also quite interesting. Is the male lead a delicate, slightly autistic beauty?
It's great! There are so many wonderful parts. Author, if you know of any similar books, please recommend them to me!
I'm not very good at writing reviews, but as a seasoned bookworm, I think this book is really good. I just don't understand why the score is so low. The female lead has a special advantage, so she's not the kind who doesn't need to work hard. The male lead needs the female lead's support to grow, and they support each other as their relationship gradually develops. I really like it.
It's pretty good! After reading the reviews, I don't know which book to read anymore. I guess I'll have to read it myself before deciding.
It's good, that's a given. The female lead is also very strong; the beginning is hilarious, and the later parts are heartwarming. This story has a bit of a female-strong-male-weak feel to it. Overall, it's very good.
