You´re right. But the length, slow pace, the artistic approach and lack of the usual chinese vertical drama "ingrediences" might be an acquired taste for the majority of cvd viewers.
This is such a good drama and it's not on the list.
Yep. The criteria to get something uploaded are time cosuming, thus there are not many who go thru the process I think. Additionaly there are to many dramas being published and the people in charge can´t keep up for sure. I´m glad we have MDL at all.

Native Title: 《穿书70，女配逆袭记》 Drama Title: "The Counterattack of a 70s Female Supporting Character in a Book"
ML: Cao Tian Kai plays Pei Zhengnian FL: Liu Xi Yu plays Shen Nanchu
Synopsis*: high-energy comedy about a comeback Protagonists Cao Tiankai and Liu Xiyu enter a book world, transforming the heroine into a vicious female supporting role, the cannon fodder female supporting characters from the 1970s. From the outset, they're tormented and driven to question life. She needs to accumulate disgust points, so she makes all kinds of troubles and offends every NPC equally. The plot is unconventional—she's no soft-hearted girl, but a powerful character who awakens. Relying on her wit, courage, and unparalleled "counterattack" skills, she manoeuvres alongside the male protagonist, rising from obscurity to become a life-changer. Each episode is fast-paced and full of twists and turns, combining the charm of the period with a thrilling modern twist. The characters are vibrant and engaging, and the emotional arcs are nuanced yet not dragged out, truly achieving the "book-traveling without the melodrama, the counterattack truly thrilling." This short drama perfectly captures both nostalgia and the thrill of wit, making it arguably the year's most captivating comeback for a female supporting character (source: https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10061299546)
