Any Relaxed, Everyday Urban Stories? Nothing Mindlessly Comedic
Please, I am begging you.
Any Modern Urban Fantasy Stories with Superpowers?
I noticed that when you search for urban supernatural powers on Tomato Novel, everything is about the apocalypse, spiritual qi revival, and monsters invading. Just because Selling Great Strength and Slime became popular, does every novel have to follow the same formula? I miss Paper God, which was purely about supernatural battles, and Blue and White Society, which was full of wildly imaginative ideas.

The protagonist lives in a modern city, but is actually a demon who has lived for thousands of years.

I'm in a reading slump! Could everyone recommend some novels set in a past era?

Preferably no pocket dimension, and fewer awful people, or it'll get too stressful. Ideally, something complete. Thank you!

Watching and Rebirth under the Jujube Tree——Comment on "Siheyuan" This is a civilian epic set in a Beijing courtyard and spanning nearly two decades. The story begins on a rainy night in 1978. Lu Yiming, who came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, rescued Lin Yutang, a single mother with her daughter Nian Nian. From then on, the two people, who had been wronged by fate, got closer to each other amidst prejudice and rumors. The core charm of the novel lies in the word "truth". Five postgraduate entrance exams, five failed exams, the peak of despair when one point was missing; the legal confrontation when her ex-in-law's family snatched the child; the tearful moment when the whole hospital raised funds to save Nian Nian - there is no golden finger in these plots, only the tenacity of ordinary people to move forward inch by inch in the mud. Lu Yiming is not a genius. He relies on his real skills on the silver needle, his death-match under the lamp, and Lin Yutang's words "I'll wait for you." The group portraits in the courtyard are equally touching: Grandma Miao's steadfastness in using a cane to scold Mother Lu in public, Liang Dachang's transformation from showing off to bankruptcy to selling tea eggs and buying shares, Wei Guoliang's final cup of confessional wine – everyone struggles, makes mistakes, and wakes up in the torrent of the times. The most rare thing is the emotional restraint of the work. Mother Lu's "I'm sorry" on her deathbed, the silver bracelet left by Grandma Miao, the admission notice received by the whole hospital at the entrance of the alley, the proposal and farewell under the jujube tree... Whether it is sad or sensational, happy or exaggerated, it is all the original weight of life. When the bulldozers make way for the old jujube tree in Volume 4, and when Nian Nian grows up and reads letters under the same tree, you will understand: this work is not only a counterattack, but also a story about "roots" - people can rebuild on the ruins, as long as they protect the jujube tree in their hearts. Recommended to all readers who believe in warmth and perseverance.
"Siheyuan" uses delicate brushstrokes to outline the warmth of the market spanning more than 20 years. Lu Yiming's stubbornness in taking the postgraduate entrance examination five times, Lin Yutang's perseverance, Grandma Miao's generosity, and the tears of the whole hospital raising funds to save the children... Under the jujube tree and at the entrance of the alley, the joys and sorrows and backbone of the people in the small courtyard are written. There is not only the pain of being crushed by life, but also the warmth of helping each other. This is a civilian epic, which makes people sigh after reading it.
