Tomato Novel Has Had so Many Great New Releases Lately, but the Word Counts...
Lately, Tomato Books keeps recommending stories that update constantly, then after a while there's another new book with only a hundred-odd thousand words, but plenty of readers. They all seem pretty good, too, but just when you get really interested, the story ends…
Historical-Era Novels
There Are No Pure Science Fiction Novels Anymore, Are There? Come Argue With Me
The streets are packed with transmigration, reborn protagonists, overpowered heroes, and Systems. It's hard not to suspect these are written by AI. Is there any real hard science fiction out there?

I'm a Veteran Reader, and My Reading List Is Running Dry
I don't want stories with cringeworthy plots. I like urban stories, transmigration, System, quick transmigration, male protagonists, villains, behind-the-scenes masterminds, lords, showbiz, rebirth, urban fantasy, history, games and anime, protagonists transmigrating into animals and getting livestreamed, and livestreaming.

This book is excellent! Patriotic! Military-themed! The author's writing style is very good, with a good balance of pacing, serious plots and heartwarming moments. The children are also lively and adorable, and the transitions are natural and smooth, making for a great reading experience! The book isn't finished yet, but the parts I've already read deserve five stars!
It's a good read. It mainly focuses on the research and development life of someone in a steel rolling mill, with the courtyard house mentioned only briefly. What's remarkable is that the water pump wells, drilling rigs, and tractors they developed were all made using traditional methods at the time, without exaggeration.
It's very well written and has a female lead! Do you guys like novels without a romantic pairing? I'm reading novels without a female lead because I don't like novels with romantic pairings. I haven't tried this one yet. The author didn't mean anything by it; it's not exaggerated and it's very good. I've already left.
A decent historical fiction story about struggle and triumph, without any face-slapping moments. It has all the typical satisfying elements of a historical novel, but it's not overly violent. If you like action and violence, you can skip this. The main appeal of this book is an engineer using his knowledge to recreate history and gradually accelerate the nation's revival.
There's none of the usual banter and arguments found in other courtyard novels, not even unnecessary small talk. The polite greetings and farewells are largely omitted; the content is all substance, yet described in a light and easy-to-understand style!
It completely caught up with the original, and it's very good. I was recommended another similar novel based on a book review, and I have to say the settings are quite similar: both have a cheat code, both have veteran family members, both have made outstanding contributions to industrial development, and even the order of their inventions is the same—only the focus is different.
The content is good, but I'll say it three times: The female lead must be original! The female lead must be original! The female lead must be original! The female characters in the courtyard all seem to have their own flaws. I'm saving the last star for when the female lead appears.
This is a super favorite story about industrial development, and it's so rare to find one without any harem elements.
This book is highly recommended, it's really good, but the rating is stuck here and won't go up, which is a bit worrying. Oh well, I need to work harder and increase the word count, it's just that... There's not enough to read. Go, go, go, this little aloof guy! It's just that I haven't seen the female lead yet, she seems a bit heartbroken. Author, keep up the good work, the little aloof guy's happiness is yours!
The story is initially toxic, improves in the middle, and becomes bland towards the end. Within the novel, it's clear the author put a lot of effort into recreating the environment. Very much effort was put into it, but I feel the character development is somewhat lacking (especially in the beginning).
