I’m looking for stories like "Asakura-kun Is a Saint on the Outside and a Demon on the Inside". Look at my reading time: I’ve earned the right to have an opinion. Tomato is a god-tier platform, and this light novel is a hidden gem. I don’t know why nobody’s reading it. I’ve been reading for ten years, and if you’re out of books, you absolutely have to give this one a try. The male lead is fairly smart, with a bit of...

Guys, please give me a five-star review! 😳😳😳 This story unfolds at a slow pace, reflecting how worldviews evolve over time as spiritual energy dwindles. If you like it, please give it a five-star rating! If you don't, please be kind with your comments. 💕
This novel about immortality gives me the feeling of being carefree, uncompromising, and possessing a strong sense of chivalry. It's like being a true spectator, but with flesh and blood. The author's writing style is excellent. The protagonist shouldn't be portrayed as repressed. What I see in this book is a real person, an ideal state, a return to nature, and integration into the human world.
The author's writing is excellent; the story flows like spring water, deeply moving the reader. The characters are well-developed, though perhaps a little lacking in impact. Overall, this is a very good book, deserving a 9.5 Or higher in my opinion (according to Wonderful Tomato's rating criteria). I hope the author continues to work hard and tell the best stories in their heart. 😘 And it's too short 🤭
It's so well-written! Because I stayed there, every time I came back and read this book, I could clearly feel the intertwining of martial arts and immortality—it's hard to describe, but you can feel it. This feeling is very difficult to write, and the author is truly amazing. The characters are also very vivid.
Yes, the writing is good and the plot is down-to-earth. It is precisely because it is down-to-earth that it is not like other cultivation novels that are high and mighty and separate immortals from mortals. The various things in this mortal world can resonate more with our hearts.
Tomato's rare gem of a book, a breath of fresh air in the longevity genre.
This is a seriously underrated gem of a book by Tomato. Its quality would be top-notch even on Qidian, and it would likely perform better there. The author is a good storyteller; it's not the kind of formulaic, feel-good novel that leaves you feeling empty and with nothing left after the initial excitement. The plot and characters depicted are profound and vivid.
The first half of the book was delightful and refreshing, a welcome change from the mundane. It lacked the inexplicable fervor of fantasy novels and the clichéd plots of martial arts novels. The protagonist was genuine, without contrived or imposed lofty sentiments or ambitions.
It's very good. It captures the carefree spirit I envision, and the slow pace suits that spirit perfectly, which is better than some other novels. After reading so many fast-paced stories, a slower pace is actually more enjoyable. Also, the protagonist doesn't engage in as much fighting and killing, which is much better than the system novels I've read before.
He was a fiery genius, the most contradictory person, carefree yet not unrestrained, deeply affectionate yet detached. He seemed to roam freely between heaven and earth, unbound by heaven or earth, admired and envied by all. Yet, upon turning back, he found himself utterly alone, lost in a vast, desolate place. His carefree spirit was undeniable, but it was all half-true, half-false, half-pretentious, half-foolish.
