Farming Novels with a No-Nonsense Female Lead
I'd like to read books similar to After Transmigrating into a Foolish Girl, I Fell Deeply for the Hunter. Here's a farming story I'd recommend: the female lead relies on farming to live a comfortable life with enough food and clothing.
Clean, Clean, Clean! Female-Focused Sweet Romance Needs a Chaste Male Lead
Ugh, this is so frustrating! I'm reading a sweet romance, so what's wrong with wanting both leads to be each other's first? What's wrong with a household or palace-intrigue story? If it's labeled sweet romance, why can't I care whether the leads have been with anyone before? In female-oriented sweet romances, all male leads had better be virgins, got it?

Any Good Historical Fiction Recommendations?
It would be even better if it had stockpiling, transmigration into a book, and sign-in lottery elements.
Transmigrate Into a Book + 1980s Setting
I want books like The Jiang Family's Eldest Daughter Returns from the Countryside in 1980. Something good, with an actual plot.
Novels Set in a Bygone Era Where the Heroine Is Doted On
The female lead is doted on by the male lead or her family, and even the little babies adore her. She doesn't transmigrate or get reborn.

Looking for books similar to Road Survival: The Leaderboard's Top Player Says She'll Walk to the End of the Road (To the End of the Road).

It's really good. Many of Tomato's novels from different eras have very attractive story outlines, but after reading them, they become increasingly dry and rambling, a waste of time. This one is different; it's very vivid and interesting, and the little climaxes are just right.
I really enjoyed this book. The writing was very engaging. The female lead is straightforward and decisive, not a typical "damsel in distress," and the male lead is neither clingy nor overly trusting. Although it's short, the ending wasn't forced, which was great! Of course, there are many flaws. The female lead's characterization in the original story was too brief and perfunctory.
It's quite good, but the characters' names are always misspelled, which is confusing.
It's quite pretty, the family isn't awful, and the girl is very intelligent.
It's a pretty good book. The female protagonist is capable of seizing opportunities and doesn't have many difficult relatives. I hope the author will update more often.
It's very well written and enjoyable. Aside from the somewhat confusing titles in the beginning, the author probably just needs to revise it since it's already finished. The beginning was so disorganized I almost gave up, but it turned out great! It's very engaging, progresses gradually, and the ending left me wanting more.
It's pretty good, just a few typos and omissions. Also, many of the supporting characters share the same surname, making it seem like they're all from the same family.
It's nice to look at, but there are quite a few typos, yet it's still worth recommending.
It's quite good. I especially liked the part about Jiang Lai starting her business, although the romance part wasn't explored much. I didn't want to sleep last night after watching it.
It's pretty good, but why are the characters' names always misspelled? It would be best to check them.
