Can I Get Some Normal Stories Set in a Particular Era?
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.
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.
A Masterpiece! I Can't Tear Myself Away From This Book
Books That Seem Ordinary but Turn Out to Be Masterpieces
Some books get hyped into popularity, while some masterpieces are overlooked or buried. But everyone has different tastes, shaped by age, environment, and personality. Everyone has their own personal 9.9-rated masterpiece.
Passing Yourself Off as an Overseas Chinese Returnee (Period Setting)
Looking for something like *Pretending to Be a Returned Tycoon in the 1980s*. The protagonist transmigrates to the 1970s or 1980s as an undocumented person and uses a System to impersonate an overseas Chinese returning to the country.

Recommendations for Veteran Readers
Any veteran readers with over 2,000 hours of reading who can recommend something? The recommendations from readers with only a few hundred or a few dozen hours are all over the place. I'm completely out of books to read. Please recommend some good, properly written stories that aren't long-winded or padded with filler.

Great Reborn Male-Oriented Stories
I've suddenly gotten back into rebirth stories, but most of the recommendations I've seen are female-oriented. Please recommend some male-oriented rebirth novels.

The three views are surprisingly consistent. It's very comfortable to watch. It's extremely realistic, not dark, and always has sunshine. I take back the first sentence, I take back all the words,
This is my first time to write a review. The story is very well written, but unfortunately it is a little inconsistent with my three views. I have read more than 200 chapters and I don't want to read any more. It is a good story, but it is a pity for me. The author is very serious about writing, but I always feel that after the protagonist is reborn in his 60s, his mentality is too young. I am young and self-centered, casual and careless. If I am poor, I will be alone, and if I am successful, I will help the world. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. When you are in that era, you cannot escape from that era. Once you leave, there is always a sense of disobedience. I really want to continue reading, but the more I read, the more awkward I feel. Come on, author.
The author's writing is excellent, the story is fascinating, the narrative is sophisticated, and the plot setting is reasonable. I hope the author will continue to update it and never stop updating it, so that more old bookworms can read this beautiful article.
The writing style is very good. It is not the kind of verbal writing or childish writing. The dialogues, narrations, and psychological activities are all relatively realistic, very immersive, and a bit like a movie. It is good. It moved me and it is a good book. I rate it 9.8, Very beautiful
The plot is smooth, although it is a bit exaggerated, but the reading experience is very strong. It is a good book worth reading more. Although there is no system, the protagonist template is very strong. Although he is young, he is both civil and military, heir of medicine and martial arts, proficient in many languages, and he has not become bad even if he has money. It is a rare good book!
It is a rare good book. Although there are some flaws in some places, the flaws are not hidden. It is much higher level than ordinary cool writing, and the literary skills are also high. It starts to falter later. The author's mentality has changed, and the plot becomes more enjoyable. Everything else starts to falter. I hope it will be better in the future.
At first I thought the story was quite good, but it had major flaws. After reading it, I realized that there were no flaws at all. It is a rare work on this platform with clear context, measured rhythm, smooth sentences, and smooth logic!
The writing is very good, the writing style is good, and the storyline is also very exciting. Especially the author's knowledge is very rich, his research on modern history is also very comprehensive, and the writing is very real. Every character is as lifelike as if they really exist around you. It is the best work I have seen among the rebirth novels! I just saw Chapter 180 and I couldn't help but express my love for it. I give full marks! [Like][Like][Like][Like][Like][Like]
Because I was short of money, I switched to Tomato from a certain website and read dozens of novels. This novel left the best impression on me! Can arouse my empathy. It's not that kind of nonsense. International is also more self-consistent.
Good-looking, neat and tidy, not sloppy at all
