Overlooked Masterpieces
Cultivation, fantasy, or historical fiction are all fine.
Looking for a High-Quality Fantasy Novel, Preferably as Good as Against the Gods
Against the Gods was the first xuanhuan novel I ever read. I’ve been following it for ages, but it never updates, so now I have nothing to read.
Any High-Quality Traditional Eastern Fantasy?
One of the Most Classic Mortal Cultivation Stories: Smart Characters and Well Worth a Read
"The Mortal's Path to Immortality" is one of the purest examples of the mortal cultivation genre: five-element spiritual roots, classic cultivation realms, a smooth plot, constant suspense, vivid characters, and a passionate martial world. Definitely worth reading.

A Bow to the Mortal World for Nine Thousand Years. In the Next Life, I'll Be an Immortal of the Mortal World Again, Not for Love, Not for Example
Only to reach the place my heart longs for, for one chance to see an old friend again.
Behind-the-Scenes, Role-Playing, and Invincible Protagonists
Novels Where the Protagonist Knows All Kinds of Taoist Magic
The protagonist knows all kinds of Daoist arts, using rituals, talismans, seals, and so on. The focus should be on powerful Daoist techniques, not supernatural abilities. Something like "Great Qin: From the Start, I Used the Big Dipper Lamp to Prolong Qin Shi Huang's Life".

Please Recommend Xianxia or Fantasy (No Systems, Transmigration, or Rebirth)

Holy crap, this is a great book. It's bound to be a hit if it keeps going.
I came from Ye Lai's blog, read chapter 14 and came to comment. It's very good and worth reading.
The books recommended by Ye Lai were indeed excellent.
Currently, this book only has one female lead; the others are all admirers. This book doesn't get much traffic, resulting in very few readers. With a 6.9 rating, most people only read the comments. When recommending the book, some people questioned its quality. Frankly, you can't judge Tomato's books solely by their ratings. Some 9.0 or 9.5 books are all show and no substance, not very engaging (but that's only some).
It's rare to see such a good story on Tomato, I hope it can be written in a longer way (Tomato is mostly filled with simplistic and overused stories). If the female lead arrives too early, there won't be much to see, since it's not even 100 chapters yet. Hopefully, that's not the case. If it is, I'll come back and change it to 3 stars (I'll definitely give it a thumbs up).
Forgive my lack of literary talent in writing any fancy praise, but I can only say this book is truly wonderful! 👍
The writing is excellent!! Powerful, the characters are well-developed and three-dimensional, the transitions are natural, and the plot is gripping. It feels like watching a movie, not a novel. I initially came to read it because of another author, but after reading it, I realized why I didn't discover such a great book sooner! Highly recommended!!
Who cares about all that, I just think it looks good.
Indeed, some say, "If one hears the Way in the morning, one can die content in the evening," while others value life more than freedom. Some seek the Way but remain oblivious to worldly affairs. However, with gods dancing wildly in the mortal realm, where is the torch of humanity to be passed down? I'm very curious about why Ksitigarbha would make such a grand vow.
Why are so few people reading such a good book? Although the plot is slow and lengthy, the details are handled very well. This kind of book is suitable for patient readers.
