Novels Set in the 1950s to 1970s After the Founding of the Nation, No Female-Oriented Stories
Period-Era Novels, Technological Powerhouse, No Romance
Are there any novels where a modern person transmigrates into a period novel and uses modern technology to defend the country? Either a male or female lead is fine, and secret identities are okay too. No romance or family drama, just serving the nation and being doted on by the government!!
Set in the 1960s or 1970s, With Guns and Hunting, and Lots of Wish Fulfillment
Any Low-Key Period Stories?
How Can I Search All of Tomato and Not Find a Single Period-Era Novel from a Man's Perspective Where He Doesn't Go to the Countryside???
No going to the countryside, no going to the countryside, no going to the countryside. I'm saying it three times because it's important!!! Working in the city is great. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't refuse to go to the countryside and do hard labor. Preferably no CP. The male lead can have male and female friends, but not in the main story...

The topic is novel, I hope it doesn't get discontinued. It would be great if the protagonist could freely switch between his ghost form and his physical body later on.
It's good that you're talented, but if you have that ability, why not kill more Japanese soldiers instead of running a ghost market selling steamed buns? You could have killed hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers by now.
I've read over twenty chapters, it's pretty good, it's a ghost-versus-ghost story, but the power levels increase too quickly, it feels invincible. If it were controlled, they'd need to add supporting characters, then it wouldn't be "The Only One." The possession skill is too overpowered; theoretically, this skill could wipe out an entire nation.
Is the protagonist's ghost market still a ghost market? It feels like the author has run out of inspiration, or maybe they're afraid to write it anymore. You could send your domain anywhere in the country where someone mentions a ghost market. Of course, given the scope of this book, they wouldn't dare write it like that; they'd probably be locked up in a dark room.
A truly excellent novel about a courtyard house during the War of Resistance against Japan. Thumbs up and a reward to the author!
Life is quite interesting. A bad person does bad things all their life, but in the end, they do one good thing, which is called "a prodigal son returning home". A good person who has done good deeds all their life can do one bad thing and be called "revealing their true colors".
It would be even better if it were now. Hopefully, we can have a scene of a hundred demons causing havoc in Tokyo at the end.
This book is really good.
It's alright, the cheat code is pretty strong!
The number of Japanese soldiers killed was reduced.
