In a Terrible Reading Slump: I Drop 9.8-Rated Books After Ten Chapters and 9.7-Rated Ones After Five
I'm so out of books to read, but I'm incredibly picky. For "Ten Thousand People Are Browsing", I made it only thirty chapters before dropping it. I used to read "Dragon King" past chapter 400, but now I dropped "Slay the Gods" after just twenty chapters.

Any Original Stories? I’m Sick of These Same Old Popular Plots
Recommend some fresh, original fantasy novels. No mainstream tropes, no lousy rebirth stories, no urban novels where the protagonist shows off and bumps into a beauty around the corner, and no apocalyptic stories with superpowers or a System. Are there any fantasy novels outside those categories? Ideally, something with a fresh premise and theme.

I hope someone can recommend some fast-paced, high-quality stories with no romance. No number one...

The character development in the beginning was very detailed; the heroine's family was truly tragic and heartbreaking. However, the later addition of Cheng Chen and his romantic subplot with the heroine felt a bit off to me because I don't enjoy stories with excessive romantic elements. So, I didn't find it very appealing. Nevertheless, the author's writing is truly excellent.
Every detail is explained clearly, even the little girl's psychological changes as she becomes a Taoist priest and the details of her exorcising ghosts are so realistic that I felt the author himself had experienced it.
It's quite good, with a fresh theme and a humorous tone. I haven't finished reading it yet, but I really can't accept the current plot where the female lead is 12 years old and the male lead is 20, and the male lead's intentional or unintentional flirting. It's the first time I've read a novel where I'm hoping the male lead won't appear so I can focus on watching the female lead grow up.
One of the best novels I've read so far. The author's writing is smooth and natural, without exaggeration. The plot unfolds layer by layer, unfolding gently and captivatingly. The relationships between characters are clear, and the characters are vividly portrayed.
A cleverly conceived book, with each twist and turn creating a suspenseful yet hilarious experience; the writing is superb, making it a highly recommended read.
This is the most inspiring and positive novel I've read on Tomato Bookstore so far! The female lead is kind, resilient, and neither arrogant nor humble; she has a broad perspective and isn't fixated on romantic love, yet she is not without it!
Xuxu is truly a masterpiece, far more interesting than Sanling. The theme is fresh, focusing on destiny, and the story is fast-paced, with each chapter interconnected, filling in every plot hole and offering delightful surprises. I've read it three times, and each time I'm still pleasantly surprised. Nearly nine hundred chapters, not a single one is superfluous.
Reading it a second time, well, I relived all the tears, the anger, and the bittersweet moments, just like the first time. But this time, I understood so many more details and foreshadowing. Who would have thought Cheng Chen was completely certain of Xu Xu's existence when he said he didn't have a mother? Who would have thought young Cheng Chen had been playing along the whole time?
This is my second reading of this book, and I still really like Xuxu. "Lifelike and capable of turning the tide," she says, weaving the story together. She's not only seeking her own survival but also empowering readers outside the book. Overall, it's a very interesting and meaningful story. Xuxu's character is well-developed, with various foreshadowing elements intricately linked.
This was my first time reading a supernatural novel, and I was genuinely terrified at the beginning. If it weren't for the author's humorous writing style, I wouldn't have dared to read it, especially at night! In summary, the female protagonist's suffering was self-inflicted.
