Stories Where the Female Lead Has a Pocket Dimension and Doesn't Tell Anyone
You can never know what people are really thinking... The heroine can help others, but she shouldn’t tell anyone about it. Never test human nature! Any kind of pocket-space or System story with a golden finger is fine, as long as the protagonist has some brains 🉑️ I’ve been in a reading slump for days, please help!
Looking for Stories About a Close-Knit Family or Village, with No Terrible Relatives
Any genre is fine, as the title says. Thanks, everyone. Preferably something where the protagonist helps everyone get rich. No awful people, please, no awful people.
Any Pure Farming Stories?! Please Help Me Out!
Does anyone have any pure farming stories? The heroine can be any age, even if she transmigrates into an old granny! If there’s a male lead, I don’t want him to be an emperor, general, or chancellor. I want someone with an ordinary background! Pure farming, please.

No-Romance Farming Stories (If You Don’t Understand What “No Romance” Means, Don’t Recommend Anything)
I want books similar to Owe the System Six Hundred Million, Get Rich Through Farming. The protagonist can be male or female. No ambiguous relationships, no saintly protagonists, no annoying top-tier relatives, no transmigration into an old woman, and no raising children. A System or spatial storage is fine, as are mountain and coastal foraging.
Underrated but Great Historical Farming Novels
Under-the-radar but good ancient farming stories.
No Romance, Farming, An Ordinary-Looking Female Lead, and Helping the Whole Village Get Rich
Looking for books similar to "After Transmigrating as an Orphan, I Used the Shop to Support My Whole Family". It's about the transmigration journey of Su Zhengyue, a high-tech professional with great people skills and intelligence, who gradually gains a voice. The System's golden finger mainly provides all kinds of books. She uses her abilities to lead the whole village to prosperity.
Looking for a Gentle, Heartwarming Ancient Farming Novel
"No transmigration, no being reborn, no golden finger, no pocket dimension. Ideally, the leads are a hunter and a farm girl who work hard to make their lives better."
No Awful Characters, Just Cozy Farming Stories: Recommendations, Please
The most important thing is that there are no awful, over-the-top characters. Some farming novels are really well-written, but when there are too many unbearable characters, I just can't keep reading. It's so annoying when they keep popping up to make you sick.
A Simple Life in the Ancient Countryside, With Farming and No Court Politics or Martial World
No pocket dimension or other golden fingers. Just a simple, ordinary life.

A simple, down-to-earth farming and land reclamation story, quite good. It's realistic yet romantic. There are no bored nobles who run off to the mountains to get injured and wait to be rescued, nor are there overly popular widows. It breaks away from idol drama tropes and returns to the essence of farming.
What I liked was that it depicted the protagonist's final fate, rather than abruptly ending at their happiest moment. It truly lived up to its promise of no romantic pairing, without even any ambiguous romantic subplots, which was very satisfying! Furthermore, the timeline was very reasonable.
This farming novel focuses on a heartwarming theme. The plot doesn't have any major exaggerated elements, the farming content is basically realistic, and there are no cheat codes. The protagonist spends his whole life with the mountains. The main characters in the story are farmers, and the story also features delicious food and small-scale business.
This is so good! Serious author, please continue writing a story about escaping famine and farming in the mountains. You're guaranteed to be a hit if you just stick to this kind of thing! This rating is too low; I don't know why. It should be at least 9.4 or higher to be reasonable.
It's a very good read; the writing is simple and concise, capturing the realism of a period novel.
Worth a listen; no space required, it all comes down to skill. Quite practical.
It's a really good book. The female protagonist who transmigrated had it so tough. She experienced war and famine, spent half her life living in the deep mountains, and survived one disaster after another. Fortunately, she finally managed to bring a good life to her children and those around her by relying on her experience and memories.
This is a very inspiring novel. The author uses modern technology and ideas to help those around her escape one major disaster after another! Even after becoming wealthy herself, she didn't isolate herself but helped the people around her to live a better life! She is a very respectable woman.
It's really good, why is the rating so low? [What?]
Not bad, I didn't see any of those awful relatives.
