   4.5 stars. "My Father is Emperor Taizong of Tang" by Miaomiao Yishu. The beginning is similar to Qingniao Linxing's "I'm Doing Infrastructure Construction in the Han Dynasty," where the main characters are princes, a step below the emperor. The pacing of the middle part is similar to Qingniao Linxing's "The Grand Principal of the Tang Dynasty," making it a very enjoyable read.

   4.5 stars. "I Spoiled the Whole Story for the Villain" by Wu Shi. The protagonist is pampered by his friends, and from the first chapter to the end, he never experiences poverty or hardship. A sweet and satisfying story for teenagers, similar to "My Days Studying in Ancient Times," "Daily Life at the Imperial Academy in the Northern Song Dynasty," "A Minor Official in the Song Dynasty," and "Solitary Fishing."

   5-star novel "Transmigrated as a Bastard's Son with a Market Stall" by Mod. An exceptionally good novel with no stereotypical villains. It features a protagonist with a cheat-like advantage in the early stages, engaging in interdimensional trading, and later focusing on infrastructure development.

    4 stars for "I Guard the Gate of the Imperial Prison" by Yan Guo Han Tan. The writing and plot are good, but the plot setting isn't what I'm interested in (the VIP chapters, judging from the table of contents and synopsis, seem to be a story about the protagonist becoming a member of the Imperial Guard and solving cases while also being politically intriguing; although the content is completely different, it's like "Bring in the Wine" for me – well-written but hard to get into). The chapters before the VIP section are the ones I liked.

It's comparable to Yu Feng's "Green Bamboo," La Mianhua Tang de Tu Zi's "A Minor Official in the Song Dynasty," Weiwei Duo's "Days of Studying in Ancient Times," and Jin Ge Wanli's "I Was a Princess in Ancient Times." All are vivid and engaging stories of everyday life for teenagers, well-woven and not as dry as traditional imperial examination/farming novels.

    5 stars for "I'm a Personal Shopper in the Primitive Era" by Fan Yunxiu. Quoting another reader's comment: "... I don't mean to belittle other novels, but most primitive era novels I've read are just about primitive times and infrastructure development, then they rely on clichéd romance plots, lacking realism. I usually lose interest before finishing most of them. But this novel is truly different. It's realistic yet romantic. Watching the primitive characters slowly grow is incredibly moving, like that initial spark. What moved me most about this novel is that the protagonist isn't a 'leader,' but a participant and an observer. And the romance is quite long; I can't spoil too much, but I really have to say, it's a collision of two lonely souls, truly beautiful." I hope readers can be patient with this story, because it is really different from other stories. The simple and unadorned beginning is just the surface; its core is truly romantic. "[Rose]'s comment is excellent. This novel is like an epic of human history, but I always felt a sense of loss towards the end. The feelings between the protagonist and the antagonist are like a flame hidden beneath an iceberg, which means they don't say many sweet words. Later on, I was always torn between whether they were just "living together for convenience" or "true love" (but at the same time, I firmly believe that both of them are willing to give everything for each other, and they are very passionate when they need to be). However, watching their interactions always felt a bit too subdued, as if it wasn't enough. But when I recalled the plot, I felt it was enough (for example, the protagonist said he didn't abandon his family and career entirely for the antagonist, but he did give up his original comfortable pasture, fertile fields, and bamboo house to join the antagonist's poor tribe, and the antagonist also directly exposed and shared his special abilities with the protagonist, who was threatening his life). What made me most sad was the antagonist's decision to travel the world at the end. I thought the Sun and Moon Tribe was already like family to the antagonist, and even I, as an observer, had developed feelings for the tribe, but the antagonist decided to leave forever (I don't object to his desire to see the world, I just feel sorry for him, even if...). Is it because you're going on vacation that you can't come back every two or three years? The protagonist's "golden finger" in the e-commerce world initially made me think this was a lighthearted, cross-industry business novel, and I assumed cross-industry trading was the main plot. But as I read on, I changed my mind. I can understand that for the protagonist's "golden finger" to be most effective, he needs to trade with every tribe, but never returning to the original tribe feels like a knife to my heart. Also, at the beginning, the protagonist couldn't understand the language of the little boy Yan Xiaowang, and Yan Xiaowang pleaded with the protagonist, who had given him the first sense of family, "Will you come to see me again?" I don't even need candy. The protagonist (shou) didn't understand and thought the child's clingy eyes were just him begging for snacks, so he patted his head, gave him a bag of cookies, and left. Yan Xiaowang burst into tears, saying that he had given him food but didn't want him anymore. The other protagonist (gong) said the protagonist was "scary" (at the time, I thought it was just a misunderstanding due to the language barrier, and the protagonist was actually a very affectionate and friendly person). I never expected that in the end, the two protagonists would wander the world together, abandoning Yan Xiaowang in the tribe (😭 I can understand that it's not suitable to live alone with a child, and becoming a lone wolf wouldn't be good for Yan Xiaowang, but how could they completely abandon this child?).

    3 stars for "Traveling Back to Ancient Times to Cook a Grand Feast [Food]" by Help Me Up, I Can Still Write. The beginning was good, but the middle and later parts were terrible. It could have easily been rated 4 stars. The author is skilled at writing about everyday food, incorporating character interactions and dialogues into the cooking process, avoiding a purely copy-pasted approach. The food descriptions are also very tempting. However, in the middle and later parts, all sorts of monsters and demons appear. Almost everyone the protagonist encounters after leaving the starting village is a bad guy (except for the young master of the Shao family). Others include the Fang family restaurant, the gambling dens associated with them, the county magistrate, the troublemaking henchman Gao, the Lu family who, after being instigated by Gao, harbor evil intentions, the Sun family, the shopkeepers near the protagonist… it's unbelievable! (Spreading rumors, moral blackmail, court battles… all sorts of messy things happen) 😭 Actually, this author's food novels are really good; it would have been better if there weren't so many villains.

But overall, it's a good read.

    2.5 stars for "Cannon Fodder's Thoughts Heard by the Villain [Transmigration]" by Qingniao Linxing. This might be a new attempt by Qingniao Linxing. This story departs from the author's usual infrastructure-building and wish-fulfillment trope, instead turning into a face-slapping and villain-abusing trope. The reason it's not enjoyable is that the villain becomes an indestructible, persistent nuisance in the later stages.

    3 stars. "My Husband Can't Be a Tyrant Emperor!" By Gongzi Yuge. The early part is very well-written and engaging, with a surprising twist about the hidden identity and a heartwarming dynamic between two exceptionally handsome classical men. It has a similar feel to Dong Jiashu's "I Opened a Bookstore in Ancient Times (Transmigration)". In short, you can imagine a visually appealing and beautiful story. However, the later parts become increasingly erotic, and the plot becomes a bit boring based on the chapter summaries, so I stopped reading.

    4 stars. "The Daily Life of a Farmer in Li Jin's Countryside" by Huimou Yibanxia. The protagonist is the husband, and later, encouraged by the other protagonist, he wrote a short story. The first scroll in Chapter 88 wasn't large. As it slowly unfurled inch by inch, the first thing you saw was a chicken's... Tail. Then the chicken's head came into view. The chicken looked very proud, and with the background of the courtyard, Qin Muwen recognized it at a glance as his own chicken. —The chicken I used to raise when I lived in the village. When the scroll was fully unfurled, Qin Muwen saw himself holding a string of persimmons in his hand, with two roosters strutting proudly behind him, as if the persimmons Qin Muwen was holding belonged to those two roosters. Qin Muwen couldn't help but smile, covering his lips with surprise in his eyes. If Ah Jin hadn't painted this, he would have completely forgotten about it. Now, looking at this painting, he vividly recalls the helplessness he felt back then. Chapter 94: The attacker finds a bookstore and publishes a book for the receiver at his own expense. Chapter 98: Content of the book written by the receiver: In the year of Xin Chou, it was the fourth year of my marriage with my husband. Recently, we bought a maid to take care of the children, so I was not as busy as before, and my life became more leisurely. My husband practices calligraphy every day as usual, and I also grind ink for him, trim the lamp wick, and serve him tea and water as usual. Previously, I had to spend most of my time taking care of the child. When the child woke up, I would feed him, and when he was sleepy, I would coax him to sleep. The child was still young and could not be left alone for a moment. Now, at night, a maid is there to soothe the child. While I'm boiling water for my husband, I take the opportunity to check on the child, and he sleeps peacefully. I felt relieved and poured water for my husband while watching him practice calligraphy. He would look at me during breaks from practicing calligraphy, his eyes were dark, and I couldn't guess what he was thinking. My husband had a day off the next day, and seeing that I was quite free, he asked me if I wanted to write something. But I'm not a natural storyteller; the only stories I know are the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and the Snail Maiden. But I still agreed to my husband's request. I wanted to spend more time with him and have more topics to discuss with him. Because this book of miscellaneous notes gets straight to the point at the beginning, many people are drawn into it before they even realize it's a storybook. Page six contains a prologue and three other short stories. It is not written entirely according to the timeline. Just as the author wrote in the prologue, he did not write storybooks in the first place, but rather casually jotted down notes to have more topics to talk about with his husband. The following three stories are all very ordinary, with a style reminiscent of random notes. Yet, with just a few words, the author sketches out the image of a generous wife and husband who adore their husband. The most striking detail is that her husband, though seemingly domineering, treats her with gentleness and dotes on her playful moments. The story is short and doesn't require much brainpower, and it can inexplicably improve your mood after reading it, making you feel as sweet as if you've eaten candy. Many loyal readers of the local tabloids quickly finished reading the three articles, then shook the thin sheet of paper, looking completely bewildered: "What's next? Where's the candy?"
