Period Novels on Tomato Novel
Am I imagining things, or are more than 70% of the period novels on Tomato Novel where the heroine transmigrates into the past orphaned, with a pocket dimension packed full of supplies? In another 20-something percent, she has a family, but every member is awful. Are there any well-written, enjoyable period novels that don't follow this pattern?

It's good, quite exciting. Although the protagonist always says he wants to lie down, he's actually always at the forefront. However, the first few cases downplayed the police force a bit, and the protagonist became a bit too individualistic. But the character development is quite good, not unlikeable, and it's somewhat humorous and lighthearted.
It's not bad. The male lead solves the case using his own abilities, although he's a bit of a sly one.
Well written, it has a Hong Kong police thriller feel to it. However, the protagonist's personality has become twisted; all he wants is to retire and live a peaceful life, yet he actively seeks the limelight everywhere—yes, actively. Perhaps the author intended for the protagonist to be passively drawn into the events, but unfortunately, the writing style fails to convey that.
This book is well-written. It has realistic elements, a plot, and well-arranged cases. The protagonist's life is also quite good, and the characters around him are well-developed. It's much better than other dry novels on Tomato that just follow the main character. The plot is much better. Through the dialogue, it at least creates certain scenes of society.
Those who weren't born in that era, or weren't from the Guangdong region, will find it difficult to understand the realities of Hong Kong and the state of its films and television dramas during that time. Those with that experience will find it more relatable. Therefore, the novel's audience will be much smaller.
The writing style of this novel is quite good. The plot is also quite good. I like this book because it's similar to the TVB dramas I watched when I was a child. Except for the Hong Kong accent, everything else is very similar. It's a very enjoyable novel. I hope the author keeps up the good work and doesn't stop updating. I'm urging for more updates!
The portrayal of ordinary people is great; it resonates with the general public. It feels like a story from a Hong Kong variety show, but I haven't confirmed it.
After reading over a hundred chapters, I felt the rating was too low. The crime-solving and period drama aspects were well-written, and there weren't any overly exaggerated plot devices. I started reading with a "let's give it a try" attitude, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I recommend reading it.
This is a great crime-solving story, set in Hong Kong, but the dialogue has a strong Hong Kong accent. If you enjoy crime-solving novels, you should check it out.
The Hong Kong variety show adaptation is well-written, a bit idealistic but very close to reality. A budget-friendly version specifically for high-level play!
