Beginners Stay Out, 2,000+ Hours Required
No amateurish writing. Ideally one heroine, and preferably mature content. A System is fine if it plays only a minor role.
I’m Sick of Being Tortured by Idiotically Written Stories Every Day, Please Recommend Highly Rated Books
A Breath of Fresh Air in the Period-novel Genre, with Original Twists. I'm Done with Those Overused Plots
The story should fit the period setting. No fake aristocrats, no making women weak, no following the army to the countryside, no divorce, no over-the-top business ventures, and no cold-faced, rugged men who can't have children. Even the titles are embarrassing enough to make me cringe.
Any Understated, Sensible Period Novels? Not the Kind Where They Eat Lavish Meals Every Day
Looking for books like Making Others Happy? I'd Rather Make Myself Happy. Historical-era story with a female lead. It doesn't matter whether she transmigrates or has a golden finger, but it shouldn't be brainless or too showy. I hate those stories where she has a pocket dimension people can enter but insists on cooking outside, and is always...

The Best of the Best in Historical-Era Fiction: You’ll Regret Missing These!!!
Something like Xia Xiaolan's story. I couldn't stop thinking about it long after I finished.
Looking for Stories with a Female Lead Who Can Cook All Kinds of Delicious Food. Thanks!
The female lead can cook all kinds of delicious food, a bit like Chinese Hero. She can explain each dish as she cooks. It doesn't have to be about competing with others or picking fights through cooking; running a restaurant or something is fine.
I’m So Bored. Every Book I Read Feels Pointless
Ugh, I'm so bored. Are there any good stories left? Am I stuck in an information bubble? It feels like every book has the same plot. Please recommend something.
A Gentle, Healing Book
A book whose writing leaves room for your imagination, and that makes you feel healed. It tells the most ordinary stories, yet somehow makes you feel warm and at ease.
Looking for Historical-Era Novels Worth Rereading
Set in the 1960s or 1970s. No pocket dimension, no golden finger, and the female lead didn't go to university.

It's so good! It portrays a truly remarkable woman, capable in both formal and domestic settings, able to fight on the battlefield and prepare three meals a day. There are some parenting philosophies in it that I learned a lot from. I've saved a bit to read; I'll wait until it's more complete before reading it. Author, please update faster!!!
An absolutely fantastic matriarchal society!!! My goodness, I completely identified with Qing Nai (the female lead) – a strong, hardworking, and courageous woman from Northeast China. Every woman who appears is wonderful; they all have their own careers, are rational, intelligent, and full of vitality.
This is absolutely fantastic! It's packed with wisdom on interpersonal relationships and conduct, definitely worth learning from. It's amazing! 👍 Both the main and supporting characters have distinct personalities, and there are very few truly awful characters—I've only encountered one so far. The characters get along very well, making for a very comfortable reading experience.
This book is absolutely fantastic!! It warmed my heart and gave me a lot of energy. I especially love the main characters' values and attitudes towards life. Even the supporting characters are so real and lovable, full of love, affection, gratitude, and loyalty, plus hilarious and insightful sayings.
This book is perfect for changing the mindset of three generations of women, from top to bottom, and is a great way to adapt a TV drama. Marriage is a constraint for the older generation, but they gave the middle generation the courage to rebel, and the youngest generation, under their influence, began to have more of their own thoughts and ideas. (I just forgot to add a review.)
That's right, the whole family is sensible and reasonable, all energetic and strong women. They love Chen Yingjun the most, hahaha, so funny!
Absolutely wonderful! The story portrays elders respecting younger generations, and younger generations honoring their elders. I wholeheartedly agree with the way the story educates children. There are no negative characters forcing things upon us, only a simple, warm, and positive attitude towards life—living well in our own lives and influencing those around us in small ways.
It's so good, so good, so good! It's exactly the kind of story I've been searching for all this time—a slow-burning, simple, and straightforward narrative with not a single upsetting detail. Actually, I think it could all be considered a love story about a daughter, it just didn't use certain words. It's so heartwarming. Every time I watch Chen Zhimin and Xiao Zhou, and the interactions between the mother and her two daughters, I feel so happy I could cry.
Surprisingly, it was excellent. Almost everyone in it was a normal, wonderful person. The feeling of a matriarchal society raising children together and striving for a better future was fantastic; it had a warm and powerful, earthy quality, and each woman seemed like a seed taking root and sprouting.
A very heartwarming and positive book. Although the story only revolves around the people, things, and events surrounding the female protagonist, seeing each event from their perspective reveals their individual personalities and character. It's truly interesting, and I greatly admire and hope to have such elders in my life.
