The Radiance of Civilization

Any Books About Heavy Industry or Advanced Technology? No Beginner-level Stories, Please.

Don’t come recommending school stories that use science and technology just to show off. Don’t recommend anything without technical specs and comparisons. (Even if the System’s data doesn’t match reality, it’s fine as long as it makes sense within the novel.)

Sci-Fi, Megastructures, Galactic Empires, War, and Artificial Intelligence

Sci-fi, interstellar, war. Any gender pairing is fine.

Looking for Smart Science and Academic Prodigy Stories. No Dumbed-Down Plots, Please 😋

No CP. (No) cultivation or starting a company. No suggestive scenes from the start, no period settings, and no courtyard-house stories 😅

Looking for Strategic-Scale Warfare and All-Out Clashes

There are way too many novels on Tomato where the protagonist is a sneaky schemer. I like protagonists who fight head-on. Are there any like that? A score of 9 is fine. Please recommend some, thanks!

Hard Sci-Fi Only, No Soft Sci-Fi

Looking for hard sci-fi novels.

Pure Science Fiction: No Fantasy, Games, Movies, or Awakening

New Books Under 100,000 Words. I Want to Comment and Become an OG Reader

Please Recommend Science Fiction on the Level of The Three-Body Problem

Hmm... something like Right Eye, for example.

I've Been a Book Fan for Nine Years and I'm in a Reading Slump. Please Recommend Something Fresh and Good

Sci-Fi Novels With Prose Like Liu Cixin's

I especially love Liu Cixin’s science fiction. His stories feel completely fresh to me. I’m not so keen on sci-fi about love between humans and AI, or stories focused on human emotions and introspection against a sci-fi backdrop. I’m hoping to find some hard sci-fi.

Sci-Fi, Interstellar, and Tech-Focused

No dumbed-down characters. The plot should make sense, with few irritating points, and vivid, epic descriptions of space battles.

I Dare Say Science Fiction Has No More Masterpieces. If You Disagree, Show Me One

There Is No Science Fiction Novel About Such a Big Tomato

Sci-Fi: It Has to Be Hard Science Fiction!!!

Something like *The Three-Body Problem*, or making a two-dimensional foil by hand.

Any Tech Wish-Fulfillment or Hard Sci-Fi Novels? Please Share, Experts!

Hard Science Fiction

Mecha and battleships, with a vast cosmic setting grounded in real data and scientific principles.

Hard Sci-Fi! Hard Sci-Fi! I Want Hard Sci-Fi!!!

Sci-Fi, Spaceships, Mining Crystals, Cultivation

Sci-Fi, Sci-Fi, and More Damn Sci-Fi

Looking for books similar to *The Sun Is Dying, and I’m Forced to Start a Spacefaring Civilization*. It must be hard sci-fi. No other genres, no mindless stories, no fantasy dressed up as sci-fi, no technology handed out by a System, and no wish-fulfillment stories.

Hard Sci-Fi, Interstellar Travel or Drifting, and Alien Civilizations

I don't like stories that are constantly at war, fighting from beginning to end, from the Solar System all the way to the Milky Way. I prefer nuanced portrayals of alien societies and storylines, as if observing another civilization.

The Stars! Hard Sci-Fi! Humanity's Journey Across the Sea of Stars!

Earth gradually advances from a fledgling civilization toward the vast cosmos...

Exoskeleton Armor, Like the One in Nano Core

Hard Science Fiction Similar to The Three-Body Problem
