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.
In a Reading Slump: Looking for Fresh, Original Stories That Make an Impression
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...

Every character in the book is vividly portrayed and relatable. The author's writing is excellent, leaving you wanting more. Unlike typical, hasty reads that are easily forgotten, this book is very enjoyable to savor.
Maybe I haven't read enough books, or haven't read many good ones. So when I came across this novel, I was surprised that Tomato (the author) could produce such a high-quality work. So far, this is the most smoothly written, most vividly characterized, and most morally sound novel I've read on Tomato.
It's really well-written; it's not one of those overly satisfying stories, but rather a gentle, flowing narrative that feels more real, and of course, more heartbreaking 😢. If it were made into a TV series, veteran actors playing Song's father, Imperial Censor Wu, or the Emperor would be perfect. It's just that I can't think of any young actors who could carry the role. Suddenly, I don't even want anyone to play the part; I'm afraid they might not do a good job, and that would be too sad.
This book, adapted from *Dream of the Red Chamber*, uses rules, principles, and social realities to drive the plot. From it, I understood what kind of person I want to become and saw my own shallowness and ignorance. Author, please keep writing, like the heroine, holding on to your last breath and living your life. The author's dedication can be felt between the lines.
Honestly, this is the first novel I've read in the years I've been on Tomato that truly resonates with me. The female lead's character is just right for me, and the author's writing is also excellent; you can tell they really put in the effort. Sisters, you won't regret reading this!
It's been a long time since I've seen such high-quality writing on Tomato Book. I'm so tired of the quirky, innocent, or alluring heroines. I really like this type of heroine—dignified, intelligent, calm, and poised—a true noblewoman. Keep up the good work, author! I look forward to more great stories from you in the future. Highly recommended!!!
It's a great read! The author's writing is superb [Note], and the author put a lot of effort into it, especially in the historical details! The female lead is a great character; she throws away things without hesitation [Strong punch!]. Jiang Yan is also great 😢 If he weren't the male lead, he would be my biggest regret 😢
Oh my god, this is so good! I've always only read transmigration novels, the kind with strong female leads and no romantic pairing. Because I kept seeing this novel recommended on social media, I got a little impatient and thought, "Why are so many people recommending a historical romance?" So I clicked to check it out.
One of the few novels I enjoyed reading from the very first time 💕 The writing is excellent, and the author's frequent explanations in the comments show that they have genuinely put in the effort and done rigorous research. Such a dedicated author deserves praise!
It's been so long since I've read a romance novel written entirely in classical Chinese! The author's writing is excellent, the prose flows smoothly, and many of the ancient customs and etiquette are very fitting for the historical context, giving it a classic feel without feeling out of place. I absolutely adore the female lead's character!
