What Are the Three Great Tomato Novels?

Traditional Xuanhuan Seems to Have Fallen on Hard Times

Traditional Fantasy Needs Attention Too, Not Just a Million-Word Solo Act!

Traditional fantasy has been part of so many people’s youth, but times have changed. It’s incredibly hard to write a million words solo and make it big now. Platforms don’t give traditional fantasy any traffic support, so I want to start a thread for new books. Post your original new novels here so readers looking for this kind of book can find them.

Any Books by Aloof Authors Who Never Reply to Readers?

I Want Pure Journey to the West, Not Primordial Chaos

Are there any straightforward Journey to the West stories? I want mythology, not a sequel to the Primordial World. Ideally, the protagonist should be original, and Tang Sanzang should be decisive and ruthless, cultivating his own Buddhism rather than becoming one of those bald Western monks.

Traditional Xuanhuan, I'm in a Reading Slump

The key thing is, no harem. I want the protagonist to always have a brother by his side who's growing along with him.

Any novels about Buddhism, Taoism, or Confucianism? I’m in a reading slump!!?!?!?

Any Masterpieces in Traditional Xuanhuan Fantasy?

Do You Know What Traditional Xuanhuan Is? Only Reply If You Really Do

Looking for books similar to The King's Avatar of Ten Thousand Phases. What even counts as traditional fantasy? Which protagonist didn't grow up from childhood? Which one didn't face hardships along the way? Martial Ancestor Lin Dong, Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, Mu Chen: aren't they all at the pinnacle? Give me more old classics from over ten years ago. Transmigration

Classic Books

Looking for books like I and the Temple of Earth (Illustrated Edition). Does anyone on Tomato have any classic books to recommend? I used to enjoy I and the Temple of Earth, as well as books by Yu Hua. Any recommendations along those lines? I haven't been able to get into romance novels lately. I want to read

Recommend Lots of Taoist History, Esoteric Classics, Mythology, and Unofficial Histories

Unofficial histories about Qimen Dunjia, or related history, myths, and legends. Anything along those lines is fine.
