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.

Well, while this is a rebirth story, it's quite different from the typical "power fantasy" online novels of today. A large portion of these novels, like those about doing business, are purely fantasies. The idea is that if you're reborn as a prophet or have a system, you're guaranteed to be incredibly powerful, unmatched by anyone.
Finished reading on February 20, 2025. A different kind of rebirth novel, with quirky relatives and a mother-in-law... The male lead isn't a high-class, unattainable figure, but he's so real and down-to-earth... 👍👍👍
It's a fairly average read, good for when you're looking for something to read. There are definitely some excellent stories, but you can skip them if you're looking for something less interesting; it won't affect the plot. The male lead doesn't have particularly grand ambitions; after being reborn, he simply improves his and his family's lives within his means. It's pretty good.
This is so well-written! It's not structured or systematic, just so real. Seeing his mother throwing a tantrum, screaming and yelling, felt like it was happening right in front of me. And it has to be the youngest son; it has to be the youngest son with a conscience! Write more, I can't get enough!
A great story from a bygone era, the plot flows smoothly and logically, it's a pleasant and natural read. Keep up the good work with updates!
It's alright, quite realistic, no gimmicks.
It's great, except for a few really difficult people in my mother's generation, everything else is wonderful. My siblings, cousins, and other family members are all very united.
It's well-written. Although the rebirth didn't lead to great achievements like others, it changed the lives of himself, his family, and friends, which is already quite good.
Overall, it's a good book. It mainly deals with everyday family matters and social life, without many grandiose or dramatic events. It's a very realistic book.
It's quite good; it's not one of those wish-fulfillment, overpowered fantasy novels. It's written in a realistic style with a strong sense of everyday life.
