I'm a Veteran Reader, and My Reading List Is Running Dry
I don't want stories with cringeworthy plots. I like urban stories, transmigration, System, quick transmigration, male protagonists, villains, behind-the-scenes masterminds, lords, showbiz, rebirth, urban fantasy, history, games and anime, protagonists transmigrating into animals and getting livestreamed, and livestreaming.
Fanfiction Based on Classic TV Dramas
Something like "Nirvana in Fire" and the like.

Dream of the Red Chamber Power Fantasy, Targeting Grandmother Jia, Jia Zheng, Second Madam Wang, and Jia Min
I really want to see the old Duke Jia reborn and find out what kind of people he married. The eldest son’s family is hopeless: those who could die have died, and the ones still alive were all raised into useless wastrels. The second son and his wife are both stupid and poisonous. Jia Min may not be a good person either, directly leaving the Lin family without descendants and sending generations of family wealth back to her maternal family.

Male Lead Transmigrates into Dream of the Red Chamber: Read the Requirements Before Recommending
The male lead transmigrates, and the female lead is Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu isn't reborn, and the original characters, including Baoyu, aren't vilified. Everyone in Dream of the Red Chamber has both strengths and flaws, and Lin Daiyu is no exception. I don't want to read a story where the author vilifies original characters out of bias. I think that's disrespectful to a classic.

It's quite good; I read all fifty chapters in one go. The plot is different from other books, and the male lead is intelligent. I hope the author updates soon!
The plot is quite good, the writing is comfortable to read and doesn't drag. The protagonist also has his own personality, and it doesn't follow the trend of transmigrating and building a harem. The golden finger is also reasonable and handled well. It's not a mindless wish-fulfillment novel, and it's quite immersive.
This is my favorite fanfiction I've read out of all. Unlike others with messy relationships, the protagonist doesn't fall in love with every girl he meets and is a smooth talker. I'm just a little confused about what happened to the protagonist's spatial ability – did it just disappear like that? Or is it leveling up? It's been going on for way too long!
Keep it up, update faster! It's been a bit slow lately, haha, but overall it's pretty good. The protagonist has a clear self-definition, unlike other derivative works where the main character is overpowered. The plot is so-so, with things like rice cultivation—like a must-have for time-travel stories. The prince part is good.
Although some parts are a bit messy, it's great overall. It's the only Tomato Dream of the Red Chamber novel that I can actually read. However, the cover is too ugly. Doesn't the author consider changing it?
A different take on the Dream of the Red Chamber! The author has a deep understanding of the novel and writes beautifully. I love it! I love it! Keep it up! Keep it up! I've read several time-travel novels based on the Dream of the Red Chamber. They're all good, but this is the best so far! I'll continue to follow this book. Author, keep up the good work!
I found it alright. Compared to other adaptations of *Dream of the Red Chamber*, it felt clean. Yes, clean. It didn't dwell on the chaotic and messy inner quarters, nor did it offer excessive interpretations of the novel. It simply focused on changing things, and I think this kind of adaptation of *Dream of the Red Chamber* is quite good.
The combination of cultivation and Dream of the Red Chamber, and of officialdom, is written in a smooth and excellent style... It would be even better if it were released in September or November.
I've read quite a few Dream of the Red Chamber fanfics, mostly from a female perspective. While they all revolve around changing everyone's fate, there's a lot of domestic intrigue and not many from a male perspective. As other readers have said, this one feels like another book written with Dream of the Red Chamber as its backdrop, and it's quite good.
The writing at the beginning was good, but the pacing was very slow, which deterred many readers. However, if you persevere, it gets better and better. It's a slow-burning book, and as a seasoned bookworm, I really enjoyed it. I give it five stars. I hope the author doesn't abandon the story or leave it with a bad ending; good books like this are rare!
