In a Terrible Reading Slump: I Drop 9.8-Rated Books After Ten Chapters and 9.7-Rated Ones After Five
I'm so out of books to read, but I'm incredibly picky. For "Ten Thousand People Are Browsing", I made it only thirty chapters before dropping it. I used to read "Dragon King" past chapter 400, but now I dropped "Slay the Gods" after just twenty chapters.

Excellent! It doesn't have those overused cheat codes, but it's full of interesting facts, with illustrations and descriptions. The characters are all from the lower classes, struggling to survive—farmers, soldiers, the disabled, women, children, the elderly... A good leader is so rare in any group, yet these ordinary people don't ask for much.
It's very well written. The author is truly knowledgeable and insightful. Many of the heroine's initial reactions are quite reasonable. This kind of pioneering and farming story has a wide range of knowledge involved, proving the author's profound skill!
This is a novel written by people from Sichuan and Chongqing, and it's an excellent one. While reading, I kept recalling words and phrases I hadn't heard in a long time, and my heart was warmed as I immersed myself in the damp mist and clouds of the mountains and streams! Moreover, the author's writing is strong and the logic is very smooth. There are no grand, sweeping plots, only a wealth of everyday life! I love it!
Without any shortcuts or easy solutions, the author worked diligently step by step to achieve basic necessities like food and clothing, which was incredibly rewarding. The author's writing is undoubtedly excellent; the scenery descriptions are particularly vivid and evocative. Highly recommended!
It was pretty good to watch, and I learned about a lot of herbs (although I forgot them after watching, at least I learned a little bit). Also, the comments section kept saying that Qin Shi and Li Laoshi should get together, which gave me goosebumps. It felt like a forced pairing. I hope they don't get together later, otherwise I feel really uncomfortable.
This is the most authentic rural life I've ever seen. The realism is far more appealing and captivating than those inexplicable virtual worlds. Traveling back in time to the past and using modern knowledge to improve one's quality of life truly embodies the meaning of time travel. It deserves a five-star rating.
This is the first time I've seen a story without any special abilities or cheat codes; it's just wilderness survival, complete with pictures of herbs. The author is incredibly thoughtful! The plot is logically clear, making it a fantastic novel. One last thing: please update soon!
Vibrant! This is the most striking and prominent feature of this article. First, the character portrayals are vivid. Whether it's the main character, supporting characters, even minor characters who appear only a few times, or even little children, whether it's people or animals, they are all vividly portrayed with distinct personalities and temperaments, lively and lifelike, full of dynamism…
This is one of the best transmigration farming novels I've read recently. The plot isn't exaggerated, there's no space element, no powerful backers, and no system. The main storyline is about two families fleeing war and living in the mountains. They have a lot of common sense about life, and the various plot points are handled well with relatively reasonable logic.
Personally, I think it's quite down-to-earth and relatable to everyday life. It's definitely worth watching, but if you're looking for something with dramatic ups and downs and scheming, this might not be for you; it's more of a heartwarming story.
