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

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.

The story is very readable and shows the development trajectory of Chinese mythology. It also explains many doubts in "The List of Gods". Looking forward to the story after "Feng Shen". It's finally finished, it's been a long wait👍
This story is truly historical and 100% authentic! Tell us that our souls are immortal and where they come from, gods! ! Who is the ancestor and how did it evolve? The soul tells the story of leaving the body, the body is the clothes, and the soul comes down from the sky to the human world (small world) to experience tribulations and perform dramas! But many souls are greedy for the materialistic world and forget to go home! If you lose yourself, you will not be able to return to heaven! ! Be a mortal for all eternity
, The content is so exciting that once you see it, you won't want to let it go. Five-star praise
The author must have made reference to ancient Greek and Roman mythology, right? Combining ancient myths and legends with historical facts, a mythological system + heroic epic with Chinese characteristics is constructed. The author has lofty intentions, grand ambitions, and hopes for success.
I am satisfied with the wonderful content of this book. The content is rich and worth reading.
Wukong, here I come! The author writes fluently and the content is interesting and novel! A novel worth reading!
This book is rich in content and less exciting than "The Romance of the Gods"! Worth reading and recommended!
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
It's quite good. It straightens out the Chinese mythology stories. In the past, it always felt messy. There was no systematic timeline about Houyi shooting the sun, Nuwa mending the sky, Nuwa creating man, Kuafu chasing the sun, and Pangu opening the sky. This novel clearly explains the timeline and story reasons, and the imagination is quite large.
This book is not bad, I will bring it to many other books in Fengshen.
