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?
