Looking for Realistic Republican-Era or Period Dramas
I like calm, everyday stories without awful relatives: just a happy family working hard to earn money and improve their lives. Keep the golden finger subtle, not overpowered.

Stories where people can transmigrate back and forth, bringing supplies and technology to help develop a country.
Looking for High-Quality Republican-Era Novels. I’m Desperate for Something to Read
Please don't recommend books by Mei Yuzhe, Shen Yuzao, Fei Wo Sicun, Nika, Nilu, Guo Yuqing, Meizi Huangshiyu, and others like them. I've already read their works...
Transmigration to the Late Qing and Early Republican Era
Stories about people transmigrating to this period always have them refusing to take even a needle or thread from the people, treating officers and soldiers as equals, and acting all meek even when they have a System. They won't even build up their forces and carve out their own territory. What gives? Are they trying to fast-forward the timeline in another world straight to socialism?

This is a fantastic book. I started reading it after reading another book by the same author; it's a companion piece with interwoven characters. I consider that other book a classic (the protagonist and his group have a grand scale), and I plan to reread it.
I came from Fu Ning... It's good, but the updates are too infrequent and slow. I'll wait until it's fully released before reading it during the Chinese New Year.
I'd been waiting for this book to finish, and then, having some free time these past couple of days, I finally finished it in one go! It was so enjoyable! The author's writing style is very smooth, filled with a unique Beijing humor and writing style. It presents us with a vivid picture of life in North China in the last century and a thrilling adventure.
Coming from "The Little Banner Soldier in the Late Qing Dynasty", it remains as stable as ever!
The writing is excellent, the descriptions are very lifelike, and it feels like the author is very familiar with the lives of people in that era. The author skillfully uses foreshadowing to keep the reader interested. I initially thought it was just a poor boy struggling to make a living, but it turns out he's a detective born in the wrong era.
It's so well-written, it feels like reading a historical novel! The author's last book was great, so I clicked on the new novel the moment I saw it!
I came from Master Fu's blog. This one is also super good. The author's writing is powerful and profound, with delicate yet concise descriptions. A decades-old bookworm highly recommends it! 👍👍👍
This is a fantastic book! I'm very picky about books: cultivation novels, system novels, novels with cheat codes, novels with nonsensical sentences and illogical plots, and novels with harem elements—I can't even finish a few pages of those kinds of nonsense. But this book is excellent; I've read up to chapter 200 so far.
Both books are very rich in content! This one doesn't feature the close-knit relationship of the six Fu Ning brothers, but the friendships among the various buddies are still strong. It's just that the characters and plots aren't as detailed as in the previous book… Fu Ning is more like the sixth brother, even though he shares the same name… I'm going to listen to "Little Flag General" again… The wait is too long, I look forward to all the chapters being released.
Having read about the lives of soldiers in the late Qing Dynasty, the author's depiction of the era's details and life in the North, especially old Beijing, is quite accurate. It has a touch of Lao She's style. However, the transitions between paragraphs could be improved, and the foreshadowing in the passages could be further refined.
