Who Actually Dug Up the Gold?
I'm too lazy to hunt for gold anymore. I don't want to work hard. Someone come save me.
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.
I've Become Immune to Tomato Reads. Nothing Interests Me Anymore. I'm in a Serious Reading Slump
I don’t like quick transmigration, except for Su Lvxia.
In a Reading Slump: Looking for Fresh, Original Stories That Make an Impression
Only Single-Female-Lead Stories, No Harem
Only one heroine, only one heroine, only one heroine. I'm saying it three times because it's important. No romantic ambiguity; I want a committed relationship. I'm so sick of harem stories these days.
🍅 There Are No More Masterpieces in the All-People Survival Series. Prove Me Wrong!!
I want to read something similar to "Lord of All People: From the Start, Just One Creation Divine Stone."
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.

Books with Depth That Make Me Think
I'm looking for something with solid logic, not a brainless fluffy romance, with major twists and foreshadowing, and an expansive world.
Fanqie Tomato's Four Legendary Novels
Unconventional and Fresh, with Ideas That Really Stand Out

Looking for books similar to Starting Out by Selling Great Strength at a Street Stall. Someone talented, please write a fanfic for Great Strength 😭
High-Quality Novels Rated 9.5 or Above on Tomato
Books with Titles That Put You Off, but Amazing Stories
Masterpieces Close to a 10.0 Rating
Looking for books like "The Gods Play Their Foolish Games". No, no, it's just a 10 out of 10 in my book. Let's see if you have any books like it in your library.
Looking for Something Truly Excellent. It’s Been Ages Since I Found One
I came to Tomato Novel just to read Slay the Gods. Since finishing it, I haven’t found anything else worth reading. Lately, I haven’t felt much like reading.
Rated 9.9, Worth Staying Up All Night to Read!
Besides Slay the Gods and Mighty Strength, Does Tomato Have Any Other Books That Can Hold Their Own?
Give me something that'll really catch me off guard.
Your Number One Apocalypse Novel
Looking for stories where both leads are intelligent and competent. No brainless female lead who relies entirely on the male lead. Preferably without too many cheats or some kind of pocket dimension. Ideally, the female lead isn't reborn either. Male-oriented or female-oriented stories are both fine.
A God Named Qi Xia, a Madman Named Lin Yuan, and a Legend...
I want to read something similar to "The End of Ten Days." After "The End of Ten Days," "The Bureau of Legend Management," and "My Seven-Year-Old Self Enters the Rules Horror Game," there have been no more masterpieces. Debate me if you disagree.

It's so good! No angst at all! 😏 The main character is intelligent. I'm currently considering Cai Jie as the female lead. And Lao Li, please update soon! At this rate, when will we reach the upper city? Is there something beyond the upper city? 🍉
This book deserves a high score! It's another masterpiece from my collection after *Zhan Shen*. Perhaps because it's a new book, not many people are reading it yet, but honestly, this book is incredibly captivating, both in its world-building and foreshadowing. Every character is vividly portrayed, making them feel real, not just extras.
The beginning provided ample chapters for the protagonist's personality change, which honestly almost made me give up. However, I accepted it; I tolerated the awkwardness and illogical parts and interpreted them in my own way. All I can say is, it was worth it.
It's quite good. The plot is well-paced and not a mindless wish-fulfillment story. The protagonist also grows gradually. Anyway, it's definitely one of the better ones on Tomato (a popular Chinese film review website).
It's rare to find a post-apocalyptic novel like this that you can read from cover to cover in one go. The immersion is incredible, each character is well-developed, and the plot is fast-paced and engaging. The only problem is, author, please update faster!!! Five chapters a day is what a truly excellent author should be doing!!! The more you read, the better it gets.
I finished reading it in one go. Well, here are some honest suggestions: First, it's very good, not mindless fiction. There are emotional ups and downs, and the characters are well-developed, especially the protagonist's strategic intelligence and gradual growth.
It's not that existence equates to rationality, but rather that "whatever is on this developmental trajectory is rational (vernünftig), that is, it is bound to happen and is real (wirklich)." The protagonist is loyal and righteous, decisive in killing, and the plot is tight, making it a very good novel. I've been saving these up for a long time and am watching them all at once, otherwise they'll be gone by the time I finish watching them all 😢
I really like the male lead's character; he's humble, loyal, and righteous. I'm quite curious if there's a female lead. Author, please answer that question. I'll give it a five-star rating for now.
The plot is well-developed and not just some mindless wish-fulfillment story. The setting is also very appealing. Keep updating, it'll be a hit! I'll give you three chapters a day out of pure love! 🤭 When I was studying there were only four thousand people, now there are seventy thousand.
It's really good. The story is very engaging, the kind that you can't put down once you start watching, and you'll keep watching until the very end. However, the story lacks logic. It starts with his mother's situation, but... His mother is dying, and he doesn't even go back to see her?
