What Kind of Books Do People Over Fifty Want to Read?

Some older people couldn’t even scan a health code during the pandemic, and they ended up on CCTV News. Are they really that helpless? Do they use the internet? Read Toutiao? Read novels? What kinds of novels do they like?

Novels Close to Reality

I almost never read transmigration into a book, transmigration, or domineering CEO stories. I prefer novels that stay close to real life and let me put myself into them.

Any Realistic Romance Novels With a Calm, Everyday Feel?

I don't want wealthy-family stories or some kind of golden finger. I want something grounded in real life, unforgettable, and well written. The plot shouldn't move too fast, but it should be vivid and engaging, with an original storyline. Could some lovely fairy please grace me with a recommendation? I'm seriously out of things to read.

Looking for Realistic Marriage Stories, Nothing Too Far-Fetched or Overly Sweet

Everyday life, realistic views on marriage, a couple working together, marital conflicts, careers, family, children, and mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships. Keep it realistic, please. No wealthy-family romances; they feel too far-fetched.

Any Novels That Feel Really Realistic?

For example, the male and female leads could have common, everyday jobs like teaching or medicine.

Modern romance novels with good writing.
