I really like the blurb and the character setup, but I haven't finished reading these. Archiving them here in case my tastes change someday and I decide to pick them back up.
Completed Stories, All Genres
All kinds of completed books
Farming Stories That Don't Require Much Brainpower
Mostly completed farming stories that I felt were worth reading. At the very least, I think the writing is decent.
Strong Seme Leads and Mutual Devotion
A fan of old-school, patriarchal tastes and top-perspective stories. Mutual devotion, with strong, compelling tops. I’m character-focused and mainly recommend plot-driven stories with two equally powerful leads and plenty of catharsis.

1–3 Coin Event Reads
Planning to make a compilation. I've been too busy lately, but I'll try to finish before the next event. The rating limit means everything gets four stars. It won't take effect unless you've bought the whole book. If it does, please let me know so I can delete it.
Good Reads
Five-star stories with something that really struck a chord with me. I’m partial to farming and infrastructure-building, and cute little creatures. I’m a bit of an omnivore, so any point of view might show up.

Adding some things I’ve read recently. On hiatus as of 2026.7.30. I don’t have time to read novels anymore. Novels were my spiritual refuge, but now I have to leave them behind.
Farming, Food, and World-Building
Both romance and danmei. Five stars means I loved it, four means there were things I didn't like, and three means it passed the time.
Great Stories I've Read Several Times
I prefer fun, feel-good reads. I'll finish stories with angst, but I won't reread them.
My Most Highly Recommended
This list's rating dropped to B because I've been saving up books, but I love this one so much. It's really, really good. Once it's finished, it'll definitely be an A. Highly recommended.
Building and Farming Stories I Read and Enjoyed
I lean left politically. If you transmigrate to ancient times, don’t start a rebellion, or you’ll get an electric drill up your chrysanthemum. Nation-building, farming, and advancing the country through science and technology.
Books I'd Buy to Collect If They Were Published
Looking forward to a print edition

Keeping track of my thoughts after reading.

I read most genres, but not melodramatic stuff like couples getting back together after a painful breakup.

I don't know how many times I've read it, but I still feel sad when I read the last chapter. Lao Zhou, Xiao Shulin, Houwazi, Yaya, Dabao, Southeast, Northwest, Erlang, every character and animal is so vivid, it makes me imagine how their world will continue to develop. The author's writing is completely my cup of tea, and I also fully agree with the author's views. Every time I think about the author's real life, I feel uncomfortable. I hope I can get better, be safe, healthy and go smoothly. There is a reunion in the mountains and rivers!
It was a weekend and I didn't stay up very late, but I finished reading this story without any rush. After reading the story of nearly four hundred chapters, I felt a sense of loss. In fact, I have opened this book before, but I don't know if it was due to fate that I didn't continue reading it until I saw Lao Zhou Returning to His Hometown. Opening it this time, I unknowingly finished reading the time that Lao Zhou passed by slowly. From Niuwangzhuang to the final Niuwang Festival, the entire story map is concentrated in this small town, which is particularly beautiful. The story of slowly growing Niu Wangzhuang makes people yearn for it every day. They want to have such an old Zhou in reality, and want to have such a place like a paradise. I really read some comments earlier and said that this story is both ideal and realistic. In such a small town, people are very kind and everyone seems to be happy. It is true that getting rich first leads to getting rich later, and everyone is striving for a well-off life. Lao Zhou is really a very affectionate person. He is jokingly called Lao Zhou, but he is indeed a pure-hearted person. From opening a milk powder factory to the Niuwang Pavilion, he really does good things and benefits the world, benefiting people in the entire place. So the more I look at it, the more I hope there is such a group of people in reality, such a small town, and such a leader, who has the feelings and means to create a realistic paradise. Everyone in the story seems to be particularly kind. There is no particularly good person or thing. It is really just like watching a fairy tale. It is very good and makes people yearn for it. The story progressed just like every time I walked with them. I watched the stalls in Niuwangzhuang get bigger and bigger, and people from all walks of life joined in. Erlang, southeast, northwest, and finally got their own spouses and puppies, and then there were Monkey Wazi, Huahua, Yaya Dabao, the monkeys herding sheep, and Xiaoju in the back. The author wore a pen of love and wrote about the animals that followed Lao Zhou's family. Some of the animals were noisy, some were naive, and every one of them was super cute. Looking at it, I couldn't help but want to raise cats and dogs. There were even birds that would cause losses to Lao Zhou's orchard from time to time. Hahaha, every detail is so fascinating. It was really a joy to read this story. The whole process never made me feel that it was very complicated or boring. This may really be the charm of the author Rouse. He wrote about the filthy parents and the enthusiasm of everyone working. He also wrote about people from all walks of life who were tricked by Lao Zhou as cheap labor, and the elementary school students hahahaha. The whole process was very happy, and it felt like everyone was enjoying it, and the atmosphere was great. Thank you to the author for bringing such a story, and I wish the author three times better life. I don't know if this can be turned into a long review. I wrote a lot of it in random order. I just want to express my feelings. This story is really beautiful. The author Rouse must get better and better. I hope the words are powerful and you can feel the readers' wishes for you. If you have the opportunity to use words to meet us again. [Love Eyes][Rose]
After reading N, I read it from beginning to end again. Every time I read it, I can find some small details that I didn't find before. It may be related to my carelessness in reading the article. Suddenly I realized that 12 years have passed since I first read this article. Time flies so fast. I hope the newspaper will do well.
This article + North and South groceries are worth buying [Rose][Rose]
Damn, I made money, I have money now, I can buy the full text.
I hope the newspaper recovers and fights again
2025.06.26 N brush, finished again [milk tea]
Please be kind to the author. Yesterday, I accidentally clicked on the author's column and found that it had been discontinued a few years ago. Then I searched for relevant information and found very little. It's very sad.
It's great. I'm very happy every time I watch it. The story of Niu Wangzhuang continues in a certain corner.
Why don't most of these people write articles anymore? ! ! [Cheek support]
