How Can I Search All of Tomato and Not Find a Single Period-Era Novel from a Man's Perspective Where He Doesn't Go to the Countryside???
No going to the countryside, no going to the countryside, no going to the countryside. I'm saying it three times because it's important!!! Working in the city is great. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't refuse to go to the countryside and do hard labor. Preferably no CP. The male lead can have male and female friends, but not in the main story...

The story should fit the period setting. No fake aristocrats, no making women weak, no following the army to the countryside, no divorce, no over-the-top business ventures, and no cold-faced, rugged men who can't have children. Even the titles are embarrassing enough to make me cringe.

This is the first time I've read a story where the male protagonist goes to the countryside. It's well-written. I don't know why, but in female-centric novels, it's quite satisfying to watch the arrogant and domineering female supporting character get a terrible beating in the end, while it feels frustrating to see the male lead punish the female supporting character.
Please read this. It's a simple, straightforward story without any arguments or criticisms. Please watch and support! Thank you so much to all the viewers who have supported me all this time!

In this day and age, people still dare to have harems? Author, please write more of these; I really love this kind of thing.
Good books deserve early reviews; good books, good mountains, so good!
I'll give it five stars, but there's something wrong with this reborn character. I only read a bit, and I don't know if it says when this Wang character was reborn. Because later in the story, the government has a policy of basically giving away money, which involves people taking out loans. If he were reborn after that, he wouldn't need to do anything.
Five stars! While the protagonist has his flaws (like having a cheat code, not properly raiding bases, and robbing the black market), overall it's still quite good. The rural life is uneventful, lacking excitement, yet occasionally revealing a touch of brilliance. It makes you yearn for those passionate years!
I'll give it five stars for now and keep reading. So far, there's nothing particularly bad about it. It has its highlights, its moments of helplessness, and its ups and downs are quite good. It's only 350,000 words already; I wonder if the author can finish it. I don't have much enthusiasm for authors on this platform. I hope it doesn't have a bad ending.
That's great! I can't be the only one taking the poison; everyone should drink it.
The everyday family drama is well-written, but the main character's personality is hard to judge. In a female-oriented novel, this kind of confrontational, vengeful, and somewhat contradictory personality—along with a mix of eccentricity and complacency—could win over female readers. However, some male readers, including myself, find it a bit childish. The two female characters with significant roles also struggle to gain favor. That's about it. Overall, it's pretty good.
It's quite interesting and suits my taste. The story starts with the protagonist being abandoned by his parents and sent to the countryside for three yuan. There's space, but it's not outrageous yet. There's a sparrow pet that helps the protagonist gain a foothold in the countryside. As long as there aren't any ferocious beast pets later on, it's fine.
