I'm a Veteran Reader, and My Reading List Is Running Dry
I don't want stories with cringeworthy plots. I like urban stories, transmigration, System, quick transmigration, male protagonists, villains, behind-the-scenes masterminds, lords, showbiz, rebirth, urban fantasy, history, games and anime, protagonists transmigrating into animals and getting livestreamed, and livestreaming.
Lots to Read, Plenty to Binge, and Long-Running. No Harem Seekers or Harem Stories
High Intelligence, Cunning Plans, Masterful Schemes, Treating the World Like a Chessboard
Looking for a novel with a protagonist like Murong Li from The Legend of Qin: someone who treats the world as a chessboard and all living beings as pieces, plans everything out, and plays life like a game, but is willing to become a piece on the board himself when necessary.

I read it in one go! It's been so long since I've read such a good novel! Five stars!
Great book! The author writes very well, and it's definitely a breath of fresh air on Tomato Bookstore. So far, the plot isn't dragging, and the characters are well-developed. This book is considered high-quality on Tomato Bookstore. I'm usually quite critical of most books, but I sincerely recommend this one. I hope the author continues to improve and doesn't sacrifice quality for speed.
It's a really good book! Each character has their own unique personality and emotions. It's not just the protagonist who's incredibly powerful; everyone has their own strengths and characteristics. There aren't any clearly defined villains; it's all about different perspectives. It's perfectly normal for people to dislike or be jealous of each other. A truly great book! 👍👍
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a man of outstanding achievements. He led a peasant uprising, overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty and establishing the Ming Dynasty. This great emperor is forever etched in history, leaving behind countless heroic legends. Under the vast sky, dotted with stars, the world was at peace, and the Ming Dynasty flourished.
I give high marks to the second and eldest brothers of the male lead. The second brother is incredibly intelligent, knows how to handle people, and is also very patient (to avenge his father). He's practically another male lead! I don't really like that he starts talking about romance before he's even achieved any official rank. Even modern people keep their distance from the opposite sex, let alone in ancient times.
I read it in one go. It's a rare gem among Tomato's imperial examination novels. The protagonist has strong moral values and high emotional intelligence. The supporting characters are also well-developed. The descriptions of family and love are warm and comforting. It's suitable for both seasoned readers and beginners.
I've finished reading it all. The content and plot are good, but there are two flaws: one is Qianqian, and the other is that the pacing is too slow. At the current pace, the prefectural examination story will probably take more than 100 chapters to finish, which is the longest of all the imperial examination novels so far.
Well written and enjoyable, author, keep up the good work! 👍
I'm supporting this new book, which isn't very long. The writing isn't amateurish, and while the plot develops slowly, it doesn't feel drawn out. I quite like this slow-paced style. However, I personally suggest avoiding too much romance. Most readers of this genre don't really enjoy the excessive lovey-dovey relationships, and too much romance and ambiguity can easily turn it into a harem novel…
It is a masterpiece among ancient imperial examination essays.
