Interstellar Fiction Only, Please!
I hope the protagonist is the child of an important figure who was lost outside the family as a child, then later reveals their identity in front of everyone. Seeing them reveal an incredible identity in front of others is one of my favorite guilty pleasures, ahhh!
A Huge Collection of Fourth Calamity Stories! Looking for Good Ones About Players Invading!
I read all kinds of novels, and lately I've really been into fourth natural disaster stories, especially ones centered on players. But the only one I thought was any good was My Players Have Gone on a Killing Spree, by I'm the Chosen One. The others have been pretty average. Please recommend something new! Don't hold back your favorites. Bring out the books you've been saving for a rainy day!
Mecha Stories and Sci-Fi: Where Have All the Great Ones Gone?
“Flesh is weak; embrace the machine” shouldn't just be a slogan. True machines shouldn't have feelings at all! Most mechanical sci-fi these days is about someone being reincarnated or accidentally becoming someone or something, followed by pages and pages of personal drama and romance.
I Want Player-as-Fourth-Disaster Stories, Not Black-Slave Stories About Exploiting Players
So many novels tagged as 'fourth disaster' are actually infrastructure-building stories where the players are the author's protagonist's slaves. One line about how 'realistic and lifelike' it is, and the players become completely devoted. They're playing a game, so why are they still hauling bricks and doing manual labor to build houses and roads for someone else in the game?

Why Is It So Hard to Find a Fourth Calamity Novel?
Looking for a Fourth Calamity novel with no romance. After reading "No Matter What, I’ll Face the Future" and "NPCs, Don’t Be Afraid, I’m a Good Person", I really want more books in the same vein.
Online Gaming Novels You Can Stick With, Not the Brain-Dead Kind
Online game novels that are engaging enough to read for a long time, but aren't brainless. Ideally something like Starting from Zero.
Novels Based on Steam Games
I'm genuinely puzzled. G Fatty is practically all-powerful in the gaming world, so why has no one really written novels based on Steam or its games?
Please, I Need Fourth-Dimensional Disaster Novels! Help Me Out, Guys!!!
The protagonist has to be handsome!!! As handsome as all you Ekin Chens out there.
Stories Where the Male Lead Founds an Interstellar Empire

Space Treasure Hunting: Sci-Fi Meets Cultivation
A True Mastermind Protagonist Who Never Takes the Field, With an Ensemble Cast and a Revival Theme
A highly intelligent, true mastermind protagonist who never appears or shows off. Nobody can find or guess who the protagonist is. Ensemble cast, the source of the resurgence, the source of the supernatural, and control from behind the scenes. No snarky jokes or memes.
Looking for Warship Novels
I Want Steel and Blood, War, Endless War!
Looking for books like "Warhammer 40K: The Rise of the Second Imperium". Humanity above all! Let the stars shine with civilization once more! Admit it: you can’t stand those bizarre aliens. They’re not like us.
Looking for Stories Where the Protagonist Becomes Someone Else’s Golden Finger
Becoming a divine artifact, an old grandpa, a transformation device, a guide, or a System is all fine! The more, the merrier.
Apocalyptic Base, Armored RV, Sci-Fi, One Male Lead, No Female Lead
There are hardly any good post-apocalyptic stories these days. Can we get something with a little logic? Don't give me those stories where they stockpile tens of billions' worth of supplies. Even as wish-fulfillment, I find them cringey.
Books About Interstellar Warfare
I want to read a book like "Interstellar: I Conquer the Universe with the Legacy of a Super Empire." No fake sci-fi, and I want lots of specialized terminology.

It's pretty good. I like both the main character and the player. The only drawback I feel is that there are too few players in the early stages, and the player base grows too slowly. It feels like the advantage of having a large number of players in the Fourth Calamity doesn't really exist.
Five stars! Warframe fanfiction is already incredibly rare, let alone truly engaging ones. I hope the author keeps writing! Regarding the complaints about the slow main storyline, small player count, and overly filler comments, these all need to be addressed gradually. Don't be impatient; this type of story is already scarce. What will you find if the author stops writing?
Sure, I've read quite a few games called "The Fourth Calamity," and many didn't even make it past the beginner phase. Most of these "games" are packaged in a way that completely kills the desire to play, making players feel like they're being cheated, aside from the gimmick of 100% realism. But this one, right from the beginner phase, really takes care of the initial player experience.
Of all the player-summoned decks I've seen, this is the most natural opening character coordination. The chat is a bit weak, but the situational updates at crucial moments are quite useful. Overall, it's pretty good. Keep it up!
This is the only Warframe game of its kind, and a well-written ensemble piece featuring a diverse cast of players; it's worth recommending. However, considering how many settings are based on the game, I really can't imagine how many chapters it would take to reach the level of a top-tier Warframe player, haha.
Unlike most of Tomato's light novels that lack even an outline, this work feels gradual and progressive, showing the author's understanding of what they want to write and how to write it. According to Qidian's standards, this should be considered a high-quality work; I'd give it an 8.9. Don't think that's low; for me, it's around 9.2-9.5.
I personally found it very good. It's the first book I've read based on Warframe, and the early transitions were very smooth. I don't know why it only has a 7.6 Rating. I hope it can maintain this quality. Also, author, please update soon! 🍉
A well-developed ensemble piece. Each player has their own thoughts and feelings. I personally found it quite enjoyable, and the plot didn't drag. One major flaw is that [the player hasn't fully developed, and then an NPC protecting them dies]. I skipped three chapters to continue reading because I was so immersed in the story and felt heartbroken by the NPC's death.
This is the first time I've read a book based on Warframe, and as a Tenno bandit, it definitely feels familiar. The tutorial at the beginning is just like the Warframe tutorial – I felt completely lost figuring it out on my own 🤦🤦🤦🤦
This is a relatively novel interstellar catastrophe novel, and judging from the comments, it includes Warframe content. A few unusual terms at the beginning were difficult to understand (the author explains them later), and the lack of prior knowledge of the plot made it a bit challenging for me initially, but the later parts are quite interesting.
