Pure Slice-of-Life Stories
Are slice-of-life stories even slice-of-life anymore? It’s all showing off and face-slapping, and it’s really annoying to read. Give me something light, fresh, and genuinely slice-of-life.
Late Qing, Republican Era, and World War I: Building an Army and Dominating a Region
Looking for books like "Warlord: Super Talent System".

Something like "Republican-Era Strange Dreams" or "A Life of Making Money" for a period novel.

Is There No Historical-Era Story About Someone Who Transmigrates Quietly?
I'm looking for a book where the female lead keeps a low profile after transmigrating. Not one of those who claims to be keeping up an act, then goes hunting in the mountains every day or picks fights with everyone. Please recommend something.
Stories About Cautious Little Nobodies
Looking for books like Hoarding Supplies in a Natural Disaster: A Socially Anxious Girl Living Alone. It doesn’t have to be about a disaster. I just want a female lead living on her own, with a small golden finger. Just an ordinary, unremarkable person.

Period Novels That Are as Realistic as Possible
I don't want a protagonist who goes head-to-head with everyone from the start. The story should develop realistically and stick as close to real life as possible.

Stories About Ordinary People Who Transmigrate and Make Their Fortunes Through Hard Work, Without a Golden Finger
As the title says, no golden fingers of any kind. Just an ordinary person who transmigrates, with no special talents if need be, and makes a good life through hard work.
Looking for Stories Where the Protagonist Transmigrates Before Birth, Modern or Ancient Settings Are Fine
Lately I've been obsessed with stories where the protagonist is reborn in the womb, but I can never find any. Does anyone have recommendations?
Any Stories About Transmigrating to the 1940s or 1950s?
Does Anyone Have Any Good Novels Set in the 1940s?
Has anyone read novels set in the 1930s or 1940s? Please recommend them all. I’ve never read any novels about either of those decades. 😫
Are There No Books About Ordinary People Who Transmigrate?
Are there no stories about completely ordinary people who transmigrate? This transmigration crowd is always made up of either special agents or miracle doctors, and both are overdone! Otherwise, they're making snacks or sewing clothes. Honestly, do ordinary office workers really have that many skills?! I'm looking for an ordinary young woman, just a regular person who transmigrates.
No Cheats: My Bookshelf Is Full
A capable female lead, focused on her career, strong, no System, and a cultivation space for growing plants. Clearing out my bookshelf, so I'm saving this here.
Period-Era Novels with Strong Writing and Clear Logic, No Simpering Wives or Endless Kids
No stories where the protagonist immediately says they are afraid the original owner's family will notice they're different, so they go off to the countryside. No one with tons of supplies still going to the black market. No holier-than-thou protagonists, and no overusing the golden finger so blatantly that it's obvious the protagonist has a problem. And don't have the male lead discover the golden finger as soon as he and the protagonist get together.

The most pitiable time-travel heroine in history. This book is really good-looking. It seems that the author writes very casually, but every word and sentence he writes can be read into your heart. I don't know how to express myself because I don't read much. I just know that it is very beautiful and beautiful.
I like it very much. I am the kind of person who has no ideals and just wants to live alone 🤭 The writing is very good, and the story is eloquent and not cliché.
Five stars first. The author's writing is very down-to-earth, and the things are true. He is not like other authors who like to make long remarks without any reason. I am tired of those novels that don't write much about the plot and just talk about science popularization or preaching all day long!! The first part is very interesting, just to survive at home and slowly save money and run away gives people hope, but the later plot of being adopted by her master is very boring, there is no ups and downs, every day life is just eating and eating, the writing is very boring, people don't even have the desire to comment, daily life can be ordinary. But it can't be boring... The plots of the two cooking and eating are actually mostly repetitive... In fact, you can also write more interesting things about the heroine's life or for future efforts, as well as the trivial life details of the people around you. Those things like cooking and eating every day are very boring and the plot is not interesting.
The author writes well, hahaha. I hope the author will update more.
I feel like it was written very seriously, so I give it a five-star review. But as a boy, I really have no interest in cooking and delicious food.
Ah, I still hope to have a small space that cannot be upgraded to store life supplies to store life supplies. Haha, I haven't seen the back yet.
It's so real. If there's no space, no superpowers, no system, and no power as strong as an ox, then we can only survive.
I think it's pretty cool. Live your life well and contribute when you have the ability. Finally, someone is willing to write about the lives of ordinary people. They have no pursuits and just do whatever they want.
It's very interesting. Time travel does not mean that you are the protagonist. In the context of the times, we ordinary people are unable to change and can only adapt and enjoy the hardships.
In the life of an ordinary person, there are no plots with ups and downs, and there are no vigorous plots of serving the country. It is just an ordinary life, ordinary.
