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...
An Unexaggerated Story About Someone Reborn Before the College Entrance Exam and Starting a Business in College
Are there any novels where the protagonist is reborn in high school, goes to university after the college entrance exams, and starts a business in college, preferably in the internet industry? I'd like the story to focus mainly on university life and the startup journey. It should feel realistic, with a good plot that isn't over the top. Thanks!

That's great. It would be even better if he could develop his career in Beijing later.
A novel you can read straight through, truly excellent. They should change the female lead; missing out is what leads to regret. But why does the male lead keep looking back? A good horse doesn't turn back to eat the grass it already grazed.
A unique writing style, quite brilliant, but the updates are a bit slow.
It's pretty good, and the writing is quite realistic. It doesn't have that typical scenario in many books where several high-ranking officials' daughters and other young women are chasing after the protagonist, who's incredibly aloof and has that dragon-king-like crooked smile—it's really unsettling, making you feel like the whole world revolves around him. In reality, none of the children of high-ranking officials will be interested in you unless you're incredibly cunning.
Worth reading. The author diligently portrays all aspects of that era. The male lead is calm and capable, and his looks are comparable to those of many readers. However, judging from feedback, the female characters so far haven't been well-received. They lack responsibility and gratitude, and have little interaction with the protagonist. The only significant interaction they share is on the train.
Despite its many flaws—such as its timid and ignorant behavior upon first arriving in Beijing, its overreaction to its own identity, and its seemingly endless divorce proceedings—it's still a very good watch.
Hello author! First of all, please don't be nervous. I'm not here to urge you to update, because I believe I will live to see the ending. Please write diligently, it doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as you don't abandon the story or padded it out, everything is fine. I, your loyal readers, will wait with you. I greatly admire your writing style, which is both humorous and profound.
Since ancient times, scholars have been known for their romantic nature. Even modern masters like Lao She, Shen Congwen, and Xu Zhimo, and the unrequited love in "April Sky," all exemplify this. It's normal for the protagonist to waver in the face of marriage; marriage is inherently a matter of weighing options. A talented man will naturally hesitate before a beautiful woman.
The content is quite novel. As long as the female lead isn't Li, I think it's fine, because the character you gave Li Jian earlier wasn't very likable, and I wouldn't recommend him ending up with Li (ultimately, it depends on the author's considerations). Multiple female leads are even less advisable; in that era, multiple female leads likely led to promiscuous relationships.
Overall, the story is quite fast-paced and the plot is engaging. However, some details are outdated; for example, when people went to the countryside, their household registration was transferred to their production team, not their original city registration. Their grain ration was the same.
