For Middle-Aged Readers: Smart Characters, No Goody-Two-Shoes, Decisive and Ruthless, Highly Rated
Urban, System, reborn, fantasy, or gaming novels are all fine, as long as they’re good, the characters are smart, and there’s no saintly protagonist. Bring out any books on your shelf that fit the bill!

Romance Novels You Can't Put Down
Recommend Some Good Books with Basic Common Sense
No school or academy settings, school beauties, goddesses, empresses, harems, male-male pairings, saintly heroines, teams where one person drags along several deadweights, or characters who act less than human and look for someone to own them.

The book is excellent. The male protagonist, besides his good looks and martial arts skills, is certainly attractive to young girls in the throes of first love. The female protagonist, coincidentally, enjoys this kind of heroic youth, and being from the same hometown, coupled with her early romantic awakening, makes the pursuit of him exciting and unconsidered, leading to a natural progression in…
A finely written book, a rare gem!
I lived in Huizhou and Dongguan from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. Many of the events in this book closely resemble what I heard or witnessed back then. The author must have had a lot to say to write such a relevant piece about society at the time. The writing is also excellent. Thumbs up to the author!
This book is very down-to-earth, just like everyday life. The writing is not superficial or rambling. The human nature, thinking, and social environment are close to the social reality of the time. It is worth reading! Thank you for your hard work, author!
The narrative is straightforward and highly credible. The plot is fast-paced and engaging. The work is close to life, meticulously crafted, with a tight plot that is captivating. It closely resembles personal experience, highlighting the brilliance of humanity and the journey of growth. It is inspiring. Thank you to the author for their hard work!
The author's experiences are so fascinating! The writing is natural, warm, and insightful, with each chapter captivating the reader. A truly excellent book!
I really enjoyed this book. The author portrays a strong and resilient man. His understanding of Lingnan society and his vivid depiction of the hardships faced by migrant workers are truly remarkable. It's a wonderful book, and I couldn't put it down.
This novel is logically sound and consistent with the era. The plot is captivating, and I read it almost in one go. I hope the later chapters will be more realistic and not portray the author as an ethereal immortal or a virtuous gentleman, otherwise...
Reading this book is like drinking wine—you'll feel drunk but still happy. It contains the real blood and tears of migrant workers, as well as the author's boundless, ocean-like imagination. The protagonist is vividly portrayed, with flesh and blood; when he cries, I cry; when he rejoices, I rejoice; when he is hurt, I am hurt; when he suffers, I suffer. This book blends reality and fiction, making it quite captivating.
A clean and hygienic pen refill can give a lot of courage to hardworking young people. Although the protagonist's industry was unconventional, it was indeed a reflection of society at the time, and it also confirms the saying that the rise of every capitalist is a bloody tale.
