The Top 10 Must-Read Novels from Tomato's Annual Rankings
Looking for books like "Beast City".

Looking for Novels Set During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty, or the Northern and Southern Dynasties

Looking for Great Historical Novels Worthy of Classic Status
Wuxia, the Martial World, and the Imperial Court
Through a hundred battles, I roam the martial world with my flute held high; heroes brave the storm, and life and death weigh little. A pair of mandarin ducks endure the silkworm’s bitter toil, while a smile blooms beside a white horse’s saddle.
A Poem Sums Up a Life, a Tune Plays Out the Human World. In White Robes, a Passing Traveler
Ancient-style cultivation, a man who's indifferent to the core, no CP, and whose personality doesn't change later on. The kind of person who seems almost divine.
Books with Beautiful Writing and Elegant Prose, Full of Lines You Could Use in an Essay
With descriptions of the setting. I mainly want to get a high score on my essay.
Two Strong Male Leads
Two male leads, folks. The guys shouldn’t be too weak, too fussy, or too useless.
Any Stories With a Really Awesome Protagonist?
Looking for books like I Declared That There Were No Gods Tonight, So the Gods Fell. The protagonist stays calm no matter what happens, always in control. Just when everyone thinks they're done for, they solve the crisis without changing expression. Preferably with a yandere vibe. Romance or danmei is fine.
Novels About Protagonists Who Champion the People and Uphold the Principles of Heaven and Earth
A protagonist devoted to the common people, set in a feudal society.
High-Quality Historical Romance Novels!!!
Something like "The Guide to Capturing a Black Lotus", "Attack Jade", or "How Is This Proper"? The author's writing has to be good, and the plot needs plenty of twists and turns. Key point: lots of reversals.
Looking for a Legendary Wuxia Novel Like The Blade Speaks: Pure Jianghu!
Martial arts and the jianghu.
Looking for High-Quality Historical Romance, No Rebirth or Transmigration, Something Like *Palace Wall Willow*
Looking for Inspirational Novels to Snap Me Out of Not Studying 😭
Looking for Completed Stories About Someone Who Studies from Childhood and Works Their Way Through the Imperial Examinations
Looking for stories with few golden fingers, where the protagonist succeeds through hard work and studying alone. Either the protagonist is reborn or was born in ancient times, and works their way up through the imperial exams. No romance or one-on-one romance are both fine.
Any Good Reads? I'm in a Reading Slump and Can't Get Into Anything Lately

Does Great Wine Really Never Go Undiscovered? Show Me Your Best Books!
A Young Nobleman, Brilliant and Unmatched in the World

In a Reading Slump. Recommend Books Rated Above 9.8
Any genre is fine.
Any Historical Novels Without Brain-Dead Characters?
Any Good Plot-Driven Stories With No Romance?
Not one where only a single section is any good.
Any Stories with a Male Lead Who's a Wuxia Hero or a Shadow Guard?
Absolutely no female lead, no female lead at all. I want a story with no romance. Not the kind that claims to have no female lead but actually has the male protagonist flirting with everyone. I want that cool vibe, where the male lead completes secret missions and lots of people suspect him but have no proof.

It can be seen that the author has great attainments in classics and history. The plot of this book develops step by step and the story content is eloquently told. It is worth reading. "Bad Street" is a breath of fresh air in historical writing. The words and sentences are not the children's vernacular used in other books. The author has a strong foundation in classical Chinese! 👍
The author's writing is profound, and the book has a romantic charm when reading it. The background of "Looking Like a Boy" refers to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It uses the chaotic times as the theme to describe the youthful spirit and the pride of family and country. It is addictive. There are not many authors who have done so much research on the classics and history! In troubled times, things will never be the same again, like a young man wandering around. After the death of the protagonist Liu Ju, he became Mingyuan, and the emperor's art that was not used five hundred years ago can be used five hundred years later. At the beginning, he positioned himself as a scholar, but he grew up after Yang Jun's "death". It can be said that he was completely reborn, but it was heartbreaking. Every supporting character is full of personality and left a deep impression on me. Ning Duancheng, who vowed not to surrender, Xia Houjie, a young and successful general who was framed and confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, Xie Qi, a white-robed Confucian general, Wang Yizhi, who died on the battlefield, a life-long scheming person who longed for the mutual favor between his king and his ministers, and Zhang Jiurang, a chess fanatic who assisted several masters but failed to end well. After reading it, I felt disappointed. Although I hope the author will make an extra chapter, this ending is also very good, leaving room for imagination for us readers, which is still unfinished. (PS: When I read Volume 7 and Volume 8, I felt very emotional when I listened to Blue Bird Feiyu's "I Will Never Change This Life") Really loved this book! I don't know why many people give this book a low score because it has two male protagonists. I don't read romance, so I give a low score to "Jane Eyre". Is it possible? It's true, there are many romance novels you've read but they're not as good as this one. It's ridiculous! Looking forward to the author's new article!
The author has a strong writing skills and is not limited to small romances. He uses the vicissitudes of the troubled times as the background. The leisure of family and country is great. Although it is a fictional article, most of it is consistent with historical facts. The character of celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the drunken dreams and deaths of aristocratic families, the people at the bottom exchanged their sons for food, and starved for thousands of miles. In the end, the thousand-year-old black-clothed family was wiped out, and the common people who were as low as dust finally saw the light after hundreds of years of struggle.
The author's skills are so profound and amazing. The turbulent and humanistic era is laid out in front of the eyes through the author's description like a picture scroll. Yang Jun Mingyuan's friendship is not expressed in too straightforward words throughout the article, but the readers are so excited that they will read it again immediately. I recommend it to everyone!
What about the author's extra story? Without extras, what is this? You just tell us that he is still alive, and then, and then! Our family has been waiting for so long! It's so sad!
It's really good-looking, not a single chapter left, very exciting, going around and around, almost all of the boy's companions are gone, but Yang Jun is still there when the boy sees him. Yang Jun didn't want to be emperor in Southern Chu, but he didn't expect to change his name to emperor in the north. The events during this period were enough to make people imagine, and Mingyuan and Liu Zhi finally took the throne that he had lost in another era. What makes people feel sad is that all the young people have changed from being bright and flamboyant in their teens to more than ten years later. Forced by the times, but Mingyuan later recruited wise men, maybe there will be another Mingyuan, another Mingye, another everyone, to live a different and wonderful life. The ending is open-ended and ends abruptly. Although it is a bit regretful, they still have most of their lives left to live in our imaginations. I forgot to mention something, the author's writing skills are really profound and I learned a lot!
Except for the emotional scene between two pairs of men that I couldn't stand, I still quite liked the story and writing style.
I love this kind of writing 😢 😢 😢. Let's make a side story and let them be together. Endless aftertaste 🥺
The logic is clear, the plot has ups and downs, and the world is unpredictable. The relationship between the characters is complicated, so you have to read it carefully. If you miss something, you may not be able to follow it (maybe I am too stupid and have to repeat/re-listen to some passages) 🤦 They are the same person (I don't know if I understand it correctly). Recommend! Readable! Author, why can't you recommend this book to book lovers?
It's been a long time since I've seen such fascinating writing. The writing is profound. I admire the author's literary and historical literacy and look forward to more wonderful interpretations [Top post][Top post][Top post]
