   These two books, like "The Self-Cultivation of a Bystander in the 1970s," are all time-travel novels set in the 1970s. The female protagonists are all clear-headed and independent, there are no melodramatic plots, no bashing of the original female protagonist, and no female rivalry, making them quite enjoyable to read. (PS: The last book was added later. Everyone in the series is smart; none of them are stupid. They are all shrewd. The female protagonist is very realistic, has a clear understanding and positioning of herself, and lives her life earnestly.)

    This book received a slightly lower rating due to fewer reviewers. It primarily depicts the heartwarming daily life of the main family. Its strengths lie in its excellent sense of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato Books. Prices are reasonable, details are meticulously researched, and there aren't many awful elements. It truly feels like living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. It can be enjoyed as a historical fiction combined with a farming/developmental story.

"The 1960s: The Shameless Female Supporting Character Snatches Bamboo Shoots Online" by Xia Zhizhi features an incredibly strong female lead with sky-high combat power and shamelessness. The fact that it's still recommended even after a hiatus shows how good it is, and I don't think the hiatus affects the reading experience—it's already over 500 chapters!

    Both of these historical romance novels are quite good. In the first one, the female lead isn't a saint, nor is she merciful to her enemies. She's also very powerful and has many clever tricks up her sleeve. In the second one, the original female lead isn't portrayed negatively. The protagonist becomes good friends with her. The female lead is very cautious; she doesn't reveal her system to anyone. She's also very intelligent and doesn't blindly help others even when she has resources.

    Highly recommended! This is a female-centric novel. The female lead is incredibly capable from the start—a research genius. Due to some family issues, she was sent to the countryside. Not wanting to work, she developed some inventions and other projects, which caught the attention of some influential figures. She's also very skilled in martial arts; even the male lead might not be able to beat her. Later, she joins the army for various reasons, showcasing both her intellectual and physical abilities. She single-handedly supported her family during that era. Interestingly, she has a terrible sense of direction and can easily get lost, which is hilarious. Her only wish is for her father to be reinstated so she can retire and live off him [laughing emoji]. She has no concept of responsibility; she just wants to live off her parents (her father, brother, and nephew). The interactions between her and her father are particularly entertaining. It's fantastic, very good, and definitely worth reading! Highly recommended!!!

    This is the book that left the deepest impression on me after reading the whole thing. The female lead has a spatial ability, but she doesn't overly rely on it.

There are no scheming or manipulative characters to hinder the relationship between the male and female leads.
