You Want Me to Live as a Widow? I'll Climb My Way Up on the Backs of Villains

Looking for Good Rural Fiction

Raising some fish, growing a little food, maybe renting a mountain. Just don't let it turn into a cultivation story halfway through.

Looking for Period Dramas That Aren’t Cliched or Over-the-Top

Looking for an Unconventional Historical-Era Story

I'm tired of stories that are either about the black market or people watching the drama unfold.

Any More Down-to-Earth Historical Fiction? No Pocket Dimensions or Systems

Hidden-Gem Novels Good Enough to Keep Me Up Until Three or Four in the Morning

No horror novels! Stop recommending them and read the descriptions first!!!

A Down-to-Earth Period Novel with Hardworking Characters and No Exaggeration

Novels Set in the Countryside

I'm looking for a rural-style novel, the kind that feels fresh and eye-opening!

Republican-Era Stories, No Couples, and No Brain-Dead Writing

Nothing ridiculously over-the-top with numbers like 999.9 billion, and no System either. I like stories where people achieve their goals through their own hard work. Any protagonist gender is fine, but no pregnancy-and-running-away plots or vague romantic tension with someone.

Period Novels Without a Golden Finger

Period Dramas Without a Golden Finger

Pure little cub

Looking for Period Dramas Set in a Specific Era

I'm looking for books similar to Back to 1988. I read a novel before but forgot the title. From the start, the eldest brother goes missing, leaving behind his newlywed wife, who marries the protagonist. The heroine's father is a general, and I think the hero made his fortune selling dried anchovies, then went on to sell AD Calcium Milk.

Novels That Will Leave You Stunned to Your Core!

Angsty stories are fine too.
