My criteria for what makes a book good are: good writing, not mindless, not melodramatic, not overly sentimental, no awful characters, no cheat codes or special abilities, and not pretentious‼️❗️I personally prefer novels without romantic pairings, so there are many 😉😉. For those who like stories about escaping famine, be sure to read "Doomsday Ticket," "The House of Ink Fragrance," and "Before the Whole Village Was Slaughtered, She Led the Entire Village to Escape Famine." For those who enjoy digging for wild vegetables, picking mushrooms, and gathering herbs, be sure to read "Medicines in Every Mountain" and "The Leisurely Daily Life of a Farm Widow."
