I really want to read a romance novel with a universally adored heroine who's average-looking but has an extraordinary personality!! They're so hard to find, ahhh!

Urban Fiction: The Protagonist Is from the Countryside and Has No Connections

Are There Stories Where the Female Lead Has an Ordinary Family Background and Ordinary Looks?

Someone who's ordinary in every way but never feels inferior, then meets a male lead who pursues them relentlessly. But they're so different that they end up with a sad ending. A happy ending is fine too! Please!

Even an Ordinary, Unremarkable Girl Deserves to Be Loved

An ordinary, average female lead. She's not a saint or a fake innocent, and has no golden finger. She's very relatable, and she has the same worries I do.

Looking for Well-Written Books With Plenty of Attention to Detail

I’ve hit a reading slump lately and can’t find anything of high quality. I’ve tried several books and haven’t liked any of them. I’m picky about details, so I’d like something with clear logic and no plot holes. I’m not a fan of open endings, and ideally both the main and supporting characters get extra chapters.

Looking for Love Between Adults Around Thirty: Weighing the Pros and Cons, Realistic and Low-Key

Looking for books like *The Answer*. It doesn’t need to be a passionate, earth-shaking romance. They could meet through a matchmaking arrangement and fall in love after marriage. They don’t have to be each other’s only partner. I’m fine with a low-key, everyday story. Their social status doesn’t need to be worlds apart either.

The Female Lead Has Seen Every Side of Life and Is Calm by Nature

Something with a setup like Ya She: a calm, mysterious female lead who seems to have everything anticipated. A male lead is optional. Please!!!!!!!

A Northeastern Chinese Countryside Love Story

A small village in the Changbai Mountains, a lost paradise of rural romance in Northeast China. Set in a bygone era, grounded in reality, and centered on the practice of taking in a live-in son-in-law. A novel that fully explores human nature, filled with the everyday love and hatred of village life...

Looking for books similar to *There’s a Little Shop at the Edge of the Clouds*, with the same kind of feel.

In a Reading Slump: Recommend Something Sophisticated, Not Cliched or Cheesy

Give Me Pure Science and Technology Fiction: No Starting From the Start, No Being Reborn, No System

Looking for books similar to Annihilation Starburst. I'm so sick of stories that start with the protagonist being reborn or getting a System. Can we get web novels with characters who have at least a little brains?

Looking for High-Quality Fiction with No Plot Holes and the Right Values

I want books similar to Palace Wall Willow. No melodramatic plot twists, please. 💃

Books That Aren’t Boring and Are Good Enough to Finish

Nothing formulaic, please. I'm tired of all the stories with nearly identical plots, but I don't know what to read. Please recommend something!

Any Stories With Realistic, Convincing Writing That Holds Up to Scrutiny?

I want a book like The Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiend. I don’t care if it’s satisfying, funny, passionate, or full of memes. I want it to have some brains, to actually make sense, so readers can think while they read. Thanks!
