The Protagonist Is an Older Man or an Elderly Person, Anything but a Teenager
Every protagonist in Tomato's novels seems to be a young man, and I'm getting tired of it. Are there any novels with a tough older guy as the protagonist? Any genre is fine, though a realistic post-apocalyptic setting would be ideal. 🤔

No silly, naive heroines and no characters suddenly getting stupid. The male lead should be loyal and virtuous. Kids are fine, as are rebirth, transmigration into a book, transmigration, or native-born protagonists. Please, recommend something normal. I'm losing my mind trying to find a book.

A very realistic period drama. The protagonist's attitude towards children is something other novels could learn from; don't just treat the symptoms without addressing the root cause. If you stumbled because of your children in your past life, will having a different child in this life solve everything? Many family dramas are like this: if you were killed by a man in your past life, will having a different man in this life guarantee a better life? Ultimately, you have to rely on yourself.
I couldn't help but write a review after only reading about ten chapters. This is truly a unique book, incredibly, incredibly good. What's most special about this "old lady" novel is that it features a stepmother. The second unique aspect is the protagonist's children and husband; when she physically attacks them, they all want to fight back.
The score is low, but it's much better than those stories that shout "female protagonist" slogans and are just for fun. The old lady is reborn and does whatever she wants, eating, drinking, and dressing up. There are times when she's not smart enough and gets out of control, and times when she can't control her temper and is impulsive. She's just an ordinary person. As you get older, you like this kind of slice-of-life story. It's not an exaggeration.
The early part of this book follows the usual tropes of an old woman's rebirth story—almost nothing more than arguments and fights—and is rather mediocre. It gets better later on. It's the first book I've read that doesn't feature an old woman reborn and struggling to build a business and buy a courtyard house in a particular era.
This book is truly amazing! The old lady's plot is intricate, with one scheme after another, not the kind that's just scatological nonsense. It's packed with high-energy moments, the plot is well-structured, and the foreshadowing, conflicts, and climaxes are all very well-executed.
Out of 10, the writing style of the current update is an 8 out of 10. Looking forward to future updates. I've seen a bunch of children, and not one of them is filial. What I can't understand is why they didn't just give the job at the supply and marketing cooperative to their fourth son, so he could go back to the city?
Overall score of at least 8 points The author rushed the ending, which is understandable; the results weren't ideal, and people need to eat too. I doubt there will be any more stories like this about reborn old women, so I'll just focus on the good points.
It had a heartwarming ending, and the younger brother was even found after many years. Overall, it focused more on everyday family life, giving it a realistic feel, and there weren't any plot twists. With so many people in the family, it's natural for everyone to have their own conflicts and little worries, but it wasn't really malicious; that's just human nature.
Everyone thinks it's tedious, but I quite like it. The female lead is a master at using a blunt knife to grind meat, and she never suffers a loss, although she occasionally lacks a bit of finesse, and of course, she doesn't talk much. You can watch it.
This book boasts a logically sound and reasonable storyline! There are no cheat codes, no rebirth followed by rampant wealth accumulation, and no awkward twilight romances. Rebirth doesn't equate to a change of mind; it simply means taking the initiative and secretly manipulating events step by step. Frankly, many comments express concern for the child, Tian Tian.
