Wild Survival in the 1960s and 1970s
Looking for books similar to Transmigrated to the 1970s: I Have a God-Tier Dog Training Space. Are there any stories about returning to the wilderness of the 1970s to survive? The protagonist has a bad background and escapes to the mountains to live in seclusion.

Badass Female-Led Novels That Feel So Satisfying to Read
Looking for books similar to "Please Take the Long Spear on the Peach Blossom Horse". **The Peach Blossom Horse Carries a Long Spear | A Hidden Blade, a Scheming Heart**. Swordlight tears through the night as thirty-four black-clad assassins descend like ghosts on the Huo City post station, their blades aimed straight at the heart of the diplomatic mission. But they failed to account for one thing...
Looking for Fishing Novels: No Fantasy, No Islands in the Sea or Sky, Just Pure Fishing
Earn money fishing, buy a boat, then go fishing again.
Looking for Good Period-Era Stories Without a Spatial Golden Finger
Looking for books like "I Found the Strongest, Roughest Man in the Village After Transmigrating into the 1970s". Period novels have gotten so ridiculous lately. Almost all of them come with a pocket dimension, and some even connect to the interstellar world. None of it makes sense. Rebirth and transmigration into a book are fine, but no ridiculous pocket dimensions, please.

The plot of this book is so original and engaging that you won't want to put it down! Zhang Jianguo's headache and inability to remember things is so suspenseful; you just want to help him figure it out! 😂😂😂 Author, please update soon!
It's a great read. It realistically portrays the lives of people in the 70s and 80s, bringing us into that era. Without power, influence, or money, one is destined to live at the bottom of society, suffering bullying and oppression. The protagonist, Zhang Jianguo, is reborn, and his desire to change his own life, his family's life, and even everyone's, is heartbreaking.
This is truly an addictive book. The plot is full of twists and turns, the characters are vivid and insightful, and it vividly portrays the inherent evil and goodness of human nature. I hope the author continues to work hard and updates frequently so I can enjoy a truly satisfying reading experience.
I've been watching it for a long time, and I can only give it an 8 out of 10 so far. Overall, the plot is decent, progressing gradually and incorporating hunting and everyday family life. It avoids the grand scheme of things and doesn't focus on business warfare like some other stories.
It's very down-to-earth and depicts rural life very well.
The book vividly portrays the realities of rural life during that era, resonating deeply with people of that time and evoking fond memories. Thank you, author!
The writing is excellent, the content is rich, and it's a fantastic read. I hope you can update more frequently and write more books like this.
Lively and interesting! Vivid and colorful! Full of life!
It's captivating, very entertaining, and mesmerizing.
It's a good book. There's nothing rubbish or nonsensical about time travel or fantasy. It's quite realistic and has a strong sense of everyday life.
