Worth Rereading: Fresh Plots, Original Settings, and No Cliches
Any genre is fine. I've read Tomato novels for so long that I'm in a reading slump. I can guess the plot of so many books just from their descriptions, so I'm looking for something with a fresh premise.
A Background Character Who Doesn't Derail the Plot, Mostly Watches from the Sidelines, and Isn't Romance-Obsessed
A minor character who doesn't disrupt the plot, only gets involved now and then and mostly watches from the sidelines. No lovesick idiots!!! (Lovesick characters make my head pound.)
Famine Escape and Farming Novels, Completed

Very very good! It's not all kinds of cheats on the street, but it has all kinds of little knowledge, pictures and introductions. The characters are also low-level but trying their best to survive, farmers, soldiers, disabled, weak women, young children, the elderly... Who want to live well. It is so rare to have a good leader in a group, but the requirements of small people are not high. No matter you are a woman or an old man, if you can bring warmth and security to the people, they will actively follow you. [Like] Looking forward to the follow-up! Farmers and villagers have enough food and clothing.
The writing is very good. The author is really the kind of person who is very knowledgeable. Many of the heroine's reactions at the beginning are reasonable. Such a wide range of knowledge in the design of land reclamation and farming proves that the author has deep knowledge!
This is a novel written by people from Sichuan and Chongqing, and it is a very good novel. As I read it, I recalled those words and questions that I had not heard for a long time. As I read it, my heart warmed and I was immersed in the moisture and mist of the mountains, forests and ditches! ! Moreover, the author's writing style is very logical and very smooth. There is no big opening or closing, just full of human fireworks! ! Like it very much!
There is no golden finger of doctrine, pragmatism and hard work step by step to achieve the goal of having meat, food and clothing, which is particularly satisfying. The author's composition is definitely good. The description of the scenery is particularly vivid and the pictures are very vivid. Highly recommended!
It was quite a good read, and I learned a lot about medicinal herbs (although I forgot about it after watching it, at least I learned a little bit). Also, Qin Shi and Li Laoshi were always said in the comment section that they wanted to be together. I felt like I had goosebumps. It was simply a forced cp that it was best not to be together later, otherwise I felt quite uncomfortable.
This is the most authentic farm life I have ever seen. The reality is much more beautiful and attractive than those inexplicable spaces. Traveling through ancient times and using modern knowledge to change the quality of life further embodies the meaning of time travel. It must be praised with five stars.
This is the first time I have seen a novel without any space for gold fingers. It is about survival in the wilderness, herbs and pictures. The author is so considerate. The content of the article is logical and clear. It is a very good novel. The last thing I want to say is to update it as soon as possible.
Fresh! This is the most eye-catching and prominent feature of this article. One is to portray life vividly. No matter the protagonist or the supporting role, or even the supporting characters or even the little dolls who appear several times, no matter the characters or animals, they are all portrayed with distinct personalities, temperaments and temperaments, lifelike, full of movement, joy and sense of picture. Second, the theme is vivid. The full text shows that no matter what kind of natural or man-made disasters the people at the bottom encounter, they rely on their own hard work and wisdom (including selfish instincts) to survive tenaciously and tenaciously, even to the point of cruelty and cruelty, but this is the development history of the Chinese nation or human beings. In addition, this article has another major feature: responsibility. The author's descriptions of various herbal medicines and their production, as well as various utensils, houses, crops, life scenes, prices, etc., Are all well-documented and documented, with no nonsense, which is very rare in time travel literature. Too many time-travel novels describe emperors, generals, princes, princes, and rich beauties, while this article describes a group of peasants at the bottom who are struggling to survive and whose parents are ill-informed. This is how hundreds of millions of ordinary people survive generation after generation, forming the long river of human history. . . .
One of the most well-written time-travel farming novels I have read recently. The storyline is not exaggerated, has no space, no golden thighs, and no system. At present, the main plot is that two families live in hiding in the mountains to avoid war and war. They have a lot of common sense about life, various plots are handled well, and the logic is relatively reasonable. They live an ordinary farming life, self-sufficiency, and everyone helps each other. The author has rich knowledge of medicinal herbs and common sense of life. He will not forcibly reduce the intelligence from the beginning like some time-travel novels. This novel respects the IQ and life ability of the ancients. Unlike some time-travel novels that make high-quality wine, cook food, sell recipes, donate farm tools, make ice, make glass, etc. To get rich, this novel shows many ancient people's intelligence and reasonable life style. He came down from the mountain and led the whole village to grow traditional Chinese medicine, make medicine, improve the planting model, and gradually become rich. It is a very heart-warming novel that does not cling to the male protagonist's thighs, but does things step by step, without being exaggerated.
Personally, I think it's more down-to-earth, and it's also very close to life. It's still worth watching, but if you want to watch the kind of drama that has ups and downs and intrigues, then this one, which is more heartwarming, may not be suitable for you.
