I Like Stories with No Romance, So Please Make Sure There's No Romance or I'll Report It
Looking for books like The System Grants Me Eternal Life; I'll Eventually Become Invincible. Please help, I'm out of books to read! I want a story with no romance. I'd love to see your recommendations. Thanks in advance, kind strangers.
High-IQ Novels About Scheming and Conquering the World, with No Forcefully Idiotic Side Characters
Something like The Nation-Protecting Prince Consort or Legend of Ling Tian, with schemes to conquer the world.
Books for Readers with Dissociative Identity Disorder
I’m tired already.
Please Recommend High-Quality Rule-Based Horror Stories With Smart Leads and Deductive Reasoning
I don't care how strong they are. I want someone who crushes everyone with their intelligence.
I Just Love Mentally Unstable Main Characters!!!
As the title says.
I’m Out of Books to Read. Recent Novels Have Been Getting Worse and Worse. Please Help
Anything good will do.
I Once Read a Story About Someone Going Out and Picking Up Criminals, but I Forgot the Title
Characters as Smart as Xi Chen and Zhao Yi
Are there any stories with a highly intelligent protagonist like Xi Chen or Zhao Yi, who is mentally unstable, not annoying, decisive and ruthless, treats men and women equally, and has no interest in women?
Any Stories Featuring Kaito Kid?
Long, Satisfying Stories or Stories With a Cunning Protagonist
Please recommend good novels, preferably over a thousand chapters, or I'll finish them in a few days. No modern urban sweet romances. Superpower awakenings, the apocalypse, or sci-fi are fine. Don't drag out trivial matters. Cultivation and fantasy are fine, but no tired old tropes. Creative ideas are welcome.
Looking for Books That Improve Your Thinking
Looking for a Crossover Between Grave Robbers' Chronicles and Harry Potter, Where the Main Characters Swap Worlds!
Looking for books like Tomb Raider: A Hogwarts Graduate Blends In. Please, please, no female lead. I want the main Tomb Raider Squad to end up in Harry Potter, and Hei Xiazi should go with them too! Please, please!
Brain-Bending Mystery and Deduction
I want books like The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Can anyone recommend mystery novels or manga like Detective Conan or The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes? My mystery-loving brain has run out of books to read, hahaha.
Looking for Stories with a Male Lead Who Is Completely Unhinged but Highly Intelligent and Rational, and Must Have No Female Lead
I'm looking for horror games, thriller games, or infinite-loop games. Other types are fine too. But the male lead has to be insane, absolutely crazy. There must not be a female lead. Don't recommend anything that doesn't fit. No Wang Xin novels, I've read them all.
I've Read Plenty of Stories About Betraying One's Master. Are There Any About Defying One's Ancestors?
These days there are plenty of stories about disciples sleeping with their masters, but I can hardly find any about disrespecting one's ancestors. Does anyone have recommendations?
A Male Lead Who Speaks Little, Has a Cold Demeanor But Isn't Emotionless, Like Zhang Qiling
Something like Zhang Qiling in "The Lost Tomb: Ultimate Note".
Dark, No Romance, System, High-IQ Protagonist
Any Books With a Protagonist Who's a Madman or Mentally Ill?
I’m in such a reading slump right now. Oh my god, the books I’m following aren’t finished yet. I don’t like stories with a heroine, but I do like ones without one. Mental illness, craziness, or horror and survival games are all fine. Murder is fine too. Just don’t have the male lead build a harem, or I’ll drop the book immediately.
Looking for Fantasy with an Imaginative Premise, a Single Heroine, and Preferably a Smaller Role for Her
I'm Out of Books and Tired of the Same Old Thing. Any More Obscure Feel-Good Power Fantasies?
As Long as the Logic and Worldbuilding Hold Up
I'm not even expecting to find a great book on Tomato Novels. Just something normal will do.
🍅 I Haven’t Read in Three Years, and All the Great Old Books Are Gone. Give Me Something Worth Reading ❤️❤
Looking for books like "A Transcendent Journey That Begins with Mythology".

It's quite challenging to read; I was completely confused at first, but the plot is incredibly exciting. This is a very rare web novel about mental illness, and I think it's quite good, even though it's still being serialized. I hope the author doesn't rush the ending. Good luck!
The protagonist's reasons for being in the mental hospital were hinted at in various ways. His final choice wasn't just about keeping a promise, but also about recognizing his past actions and seeking atonement. From initially striving for freedom to ultimately relinquishing it with clarity, the process is truly captivating, with foreshadowing making the plot development feel smooth.
Worth reading. If you read it patiently, it's quite enjoyable; however, the author includes a lot of personal opinions, requiring a certain level of discernment and judgment. The narrative is relatively fragmented, leaving many questions unanswered. However, considering the limitations of the limited perspective, the epilogues, while somewhat verbose, effectively convey information.
It's a great read. The beginning is a bit cryptic, but if you pay close attention and connect the clues, it's actually quite easy to figure out Xu's identity. I think the whole novel is excellent, with no regrets, and the ending is quite good, leaving the reader with a lot to think about. Please don't assume Xu will definitely die; maybe Xiaoya will choose not to let Xu die after she wins?
This book is strange, especially after chapter 100; I keep forgetting who some characters are, like I'm cursed. But overall, this kind of novel is perfect for a novice like me; it's very immersive.
It's quite interesting, but I suggest stopping after chapter 100. Honestly, it's not really relevant to the book anymore. I guess the author just padded the word count by including his own work. No wonder it sounded so familiar; I'd read one of his earlier works before.
I've discovered I actually like this style of novel~~~ *sobs* Does this mean I'm not far from getting in?
8.5 points. You could say I found another great book on Tomato Bookstore. The writing style and plot design are top-notch, so I won't go into too much detail. If you like the first five chapters, keep reading; the next hundred chapters are also exciting. Moderate spoilers ahead, so please don't read if you mind.
It's a pretty good book. The first hundred chapters are great, but then it turns into content from another book by the author. However, many plot holes remain unfilled, and it doesn't explain that the protagonist had a wife and children before he entered the mental hospital. [What?]
Great! It was a bit confusing at first, but it got interesting later. The story really gets to the end quickly! Is there really a chance for a second book? Just when you think everything is foolproof, turn back, hehe.
