A 37-Year-Old Man's Dating Diary

Recommend Some Good Books with Basic Common Sense

No school or academy settings, school beauties, goddesses, empresses, harems, male-male pairings, saintly heroines, teams where one person drags along several deadweights, or characters who act less than human and look for someone to own them.

How Can I Search All of Tomato and Not Find a Single Period-Era Novel from a Man's Perspective Where He Doesn't Go to the Countryside???

No going to the countryside, no going to the countryside, no going to the countryside. I'm saying it three times because it's important!!! Working in the city is great. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't refuse to go to the countryside and do hard labor. Preferably no CP. The male lead can have male and female friends, but not in the main story...

Looking for Short Bedtime Reads! Sweet Only, No Angst! Super Sweet! Short Stories Only

Even better if it's told from the male lead's perspective.

Sophisticated Angst with Smart Characters and a Logical Plot

Looking for books similar to Palace Wall Willow. It doesn’t have to be the kind where the male and female leads must fight to the death, with one of them inevitably dying. There can be national hatred and family feuds separating them, or a divide between righteousness and evil. The story should be logical and reflect the thinking of normal people.

Short Stories!! They Must Be Short, Please! The Shorter the Better!! Around 80,000 Words!!

Period Novels Where the Female Lead Doesn’t Bail Out Her Family, Have Lots of Children, Go to the Black Market, or Take Over Someone Else’s Mess

The male and female leads should come from well-matched families. The heroine shouldn't get married as soon as she transmigrates. She should have a harmonious family, but not be the family's darling. Her grandparents, uncles, and aunts shouldn't be awful people. The heroine can go to the countryside, but don't force her to. Some stories make the heroine go to the countryside even when there's no need for her to.

Looking for Highly Rated Farming Stories, Rated 9.8 or Above. Righteous Female Leads, Not Doormats

I’ve been reading farming stories lately. Please recommend female-protagonist novels, whether set in modern or ancient times. The female protagonist can have a golden finger, but it shouldn’t be too outrageous. The writing shouldn’t be simplistic, and the plot should be tightly paced.

Angst Novels With Relentless Heartbreak from Start to Finish!!!

Tragic romance.

Genuinely Skillful Historical-Era Novels, No Villains or Black Markets

This Is the Only Story Set in a Bygone Era for Me!!!

New-Style Rich-and-Powerful Novels, Please: No Old Recommendations

No broken engagements, no cheating, no face-slapping from the start, and no starting off with tens of trillions. That’s so annoying. I want a down-to-earth story about quietly becoming a billionaire without anyone noticing.

A Collection of 9.9-Rated Short-Story Masterpieces

I'd like to read something like She's Sweet and Soft, and the Young Master of the Capital's Elite Won't Let Her Go. Short stories.

Period-Era Fiction from the Male Lead’s Perspective

From the male lead's perspective, preferably with only one female lead.

Period Pieces! What's Your Number One Pick?

I want to read something like "The Day I Died, My Rough-and-Ready Husband Held Me and Cried All Night".

Reborn, Stock Market, Futures, Profiting Off Foreign Markets. No Good Books? Come Prove Me Wrong

Good Short Stories, Flash Fiction, and Novellas

Short Stories: The Short Story Section Is Gone, and There Are No More Books to Read

School stories or wealthy-family stories are both fine.

Rated 9.9: A Period Novel I've Read Five Times, and It Feels Different Every Time

Looking for stories like Back to 1968: A Ten-Year-Old Child Protects the Whole Family. It's incredibly good and so, so different from anything else.

Period Stories Where the Female Lead Lives Well, Doesn't Suffer, and Doesn't Serve Anyone

Something normal, please. No fake wealthy elites, rugged men, cold-faced guys, special forces kings, or obsessive types. And titles with words like “delicate,” “multiple births,” or “everyone’s favorite” are just embarrassing.

Reborn Novels Worth Rereading, No Idiotic Characters, with Good Writing and Original Plots
