Clouds Stretch Far, Waters Fade into Mist

Rural Novels Set in the 1960S and 1970S

A Calm, Ordinary Slice of Life

Just an ordinary, peaceful life in a warm little home.

Any Novels That Feel a Little More Realistic?

Set in a city, with decent writing and a realistic feel.

Any Novels About Rural Life? I'm Out of Books to Read

Something with a natural, rural-life feel, like *After Leaving the Army, I Livestream Raising Kids in the Countryside*.

Any Books Suitable for Middle-Aged Readers? Smart Characters and a Light, Fresh Style

Looking for books similar to "My Heart Stirred, So I Took Action!" I enjoy contemporary everyday stories that do not dumb down their characters, involving marriage, love, children, and careers, suitable for middle-aged readers.

Period Novel, No Sent-Down Youth, Has a Job, Everyday Family Life

Period Novels Without a Golden Finger

Republican-Era China, Warlords, Young Marshals, and a Refined, Alluring Female Lead

Pure Farming or Transmigration Stories, No Reincarnation, No Pocket Dimension, and No Ridiculous Cheat Powers

I don't like ridiculous cheat powers. There's no such thing as a free lunch, after all. Some stories have characters do one little thing and get rewarded with a photographic memory pill, a strength pill, fair skin and beauty with long legs, or even a pocket dimension with a spiritual spring and a farm... I like things grounded and earned!

Looking for Cozy Farming Stories

I've been reading too many palace-intrigue stories lately, and they're taking too much brainpower. Any recommendations for a lighthearted, cozy farming novel?
