Books to Improve My Character and Taste

Anyone? Anyone at all?

Traditional Fantasy With Less Showing Off and Face-Slapping. Less Showing Off and Face-Slapping, Please!

Protagonists with Unshakable Faith, Strong Will, and a Sense of Justice

The protagonist should have strong faith and conviction, and stand up for what's right. The supporting cast and villains shouldn't be idiots. I'm tired of cookie-cutter, mindless wish-fulfillment stories. I want something that fills you with faith and spirit, a true source of spiritual nourishment.

I Miss the Fantasy Stories of the Past. I Want to Read Some, but Can’t Find Any

The Protagonist Creates Their Own Cultivation System

The protagonist doesn't follow the usual cultivation system. They start out as a novice, stumble upon a source of energy by chance, and then create their own cultivation path.

Traditional Xianxia Novels

It feels like traditional xianxia novels are hard to find on Tomato now. Does nobody like pure cultivation stories anymore? It's all the same cookie-cutter, imagination-driven stuff.

I'm looking for patriotic romance novels where both leads love their country and the story has a grand vision.

Something like The Dragon and the Snake, for example. Plum Blossom Numerology.

Novels with a Strong Female Lead Focused on Her Career.

Looking for books similar to With the Esteemed Minister System in Hand, I Disguise Myself as a Man in Ancient Times. Are there any stories with strong female leads? Cross-dressing as a man is fine, but it is not required. I am especially interested in ancient imperial examination stories. A romantic pairing is optional.

What Books Will Make You Smarter and Broaden Your Knowledge and Horizons?

I'd like to read books similar to Even as a Fake Heiress, You Still Have to Be Brave and Lie Flat. I want something that makes me see things in a new light and feels genuinely fresh!

Seek the Way, Pursue the Way, Follow the Way, Attain the Way

All beings under heaven seek the path to immortality, while I alone seek enlightenment. Enlightenment brings eternal life, yet the multitudes abandon the Dao to pursue immortality, mistaking the branch for the root. The immortal path promises freedom and ease, but what does it mean to be free? What does it mean to be at ease? There are no immortals in this world. If there were, they would be demons, for demons are unrestrained, free, and at ease.
