Let's Bring Martial Arts Novels Back to the Jianghu, Guys!
Are There Any Authors Who Seriously and Responsibly Finish Their Stories? I Don't Care If They're Good or Bad!
Classic, Engaging, No Idiotic Characters, No System, No Showing Off. Anything Else Goes
I don't want that kind of simplistic, amateurish novel.
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.
Looking for Stories of Ancient China, Martial Arts, and Courtly Power Struggles
Please recommend books with a spirited, dashing lead.

Tomato Novel Has Had so Many Great New Releases Lately, but the Word Counts...
Lately, Tomato Books keeps recommending stories that update constantly, then after a while there's another new book with only a hundred-odd thousand words, but plenty of readers. They all seem pretty good, too, but just when you get really interested, the story ends…
I Have Eight Divine Books to Share with Fellow Daoists
Looking for Truly Good Books. No Immature Stories!
I've read too many books, and most lose me after a few chapters. The writing is so immature, as if it were written by a kid with only a middle-schooler's thinking skills. I want to read good books, truly good books!
Looking for Traditional Cultivation Stories with Gradual Growth and Nothing Too Over-the-Top
Couples are fine, or no couples!
Looking for High-Quality Novels with No Skipped Chapters
I'm a bit picky.
An Ensemble Story About Saving Each Other and Striving with Passion. Romance Optional
I hope to find a group-focused story where a team works together toward a shared goal and all the members trust and accept one another. Every supporting character should have a distinct personality.
Recommend High-Quality Books. I'm Very Picky, and Hidden Masterpieces That Get Low Ratings Are Welcome Too
High Intelligence, Brilliant Scheming, Calculating, and Cunning
Preferably with dual personalities.
Come Debate Me If There Is No Masterpiece Featuring Wuxia, the Martial World, the Best Under Heaven, and Retirement
Is there really no masterpiece combining wuxia, the jianghu, and being the greatest under heaven, followed by retirement and invincibility? Come argue if you disagree.
Looking for Wuxia Stories Set in the Jianghu, with Great Prose and a Good Plot, No Romance
I want good writing and a good plot. I just can’t stand wuxia stories that are all about romance. That’s not the jianghu Gu Long and Jin Yong gave me!!!

If you like it, please give it a five-star review. Writing is not easy. After ten years of hard work, the passion remains undiminished. This is the final battle of a 30-year-old author who has been writing for ten years. Give myself a shout-out, I think it's amazing!
In this day and age, it's still possible to find truly excellent books that allow one to savor and read slowly. From character development to plot, the platform is top-notch. There's no excessive use of flowery language, yet the author's literary skill shines through. It deserves my support! I'd like to buy some physical books for my collection and as gifts for friends; it would be really nice.
This is so well-written, why isn't it more popular? The writing is excellent, the characters are well-developed and vividly portrayed, leaving a deep impression. It made me laugh and cry; a masterpiece shouldn't have fallen to this state. The brilliance of a masterpiece cannot be concealed. Keep it up, author!
I found the book in the book famine square at first. To be honest, the title was a bit discouraging, but I read it with a try-it-out mentality. From my own perspective, it's a very good book. The descriptions of scenes, the portrayals of characters' psychology, and the social realities reflected in the characters are all captivating.
Personally, I think it could rank tenth on Tomato. Whether it's the writing style, plot, or character portrayal, it's top-notch on Tomato. But unfortunately, this is Tomato, and most of Tomato's works are light novels. It won't make a big splash here, which is a pity.
To be honest, the title initially deterred me, but I accidentally clicked on it and read a few pages. Frankly, it's exactly the kind of martial arts novel I've been looking for. It truly amazed me. It blends many elements organically, not just pieced together, but organically, including some ancient history. Even the short chapter titles are very well-written; I'm genuinely impressed.
The book's opening plot twist both surprised the audience and the protagonist, highlighting the antagonist's masterful planning. The protagonist initially acts mature beyond his years, leading the audience to believe he's not a child at heart. However, when his life is in danger, he reverts to the weak, pitiful, and helpless child he once was.
This book boasts excellent content, writing style, and pacing. It's rare for a martial arts novelist like Tomato to manage to tell a complete story within a million words, and the author has managed to maintain both overall pacing and writing style.
Having finished the entire book, my honest impression: anything by Lao Mo is guaranteed to be a masterpiece. I came across this book through a book-hunting forum. I'm usually not short of books, but it was pure luck that I stumbled upon it. I accidentally clicked on the forum and saw it as the last book recommended. To be honest, it was terrible – the ratings and number of readers were very low.
I don't even know how to describe it! It's so good! The plot is tight and humorous, it has the feel of a snow scene. Author, keep writing! After reading it, I can only marvel at the power of words, but I don't know why the rating is so low.
