No Female Lead!! Truly No Female Lead, No Romance, Read Carefully!!
Don’t recommend ongoing stories with heroines. If a story isn’t finished and doesn’t say it has no heroine, ask the author whether there is one first. For "I Became Invincible After Rejecting the System", the author said it has one heroine, so absolutely do not recommend it. The requester really will get mad.

The protagonist can catch ghosts, and there's no System. Please!
Are There No Male-Oriented Novels with Great Brotherhood, Plenty of Scenes, Little Filler, and No Idiotic Characters?
I don't want formulaic infinite-flow stories, or anything too pretentious or drawn-out. Ideally, the protagonist should have a tight deadline to contend with. Any genre is fine.
A Frail Hero: Any Illness Will Do, the Worse His Health the Better
I want a sickly character, with things like stomach problems, back injuries, coughing up blood, or poisoning. The kind where they're physically weak, miserable, and in pain. Male-male leads only, and one of them has to be sickly. I really love this kind of story.
Are There Any Pure Horror Supernatural Stories on Tomato, Without Superpowers or Comedy?
Looking for books like The Haunted House.
Looking for Male-Oriented Novels with Natural Brotherhood, a Competent Male Lead, and No Female Lead
Looking for books like I'm a Total Newbie, So Why Isn't This Game Getting Harder? (No Player Response). Something with a fun ship to root for. The male lead should be smart and brave, with goals of his own and a buddy who helps him. Most importantly, I want a good plot, with just a little CP on the side.

Does anyone have any highly rated books to save this poor child? 😭😭
Tomato’s Masterpiece of the Apocalypse Genre: Don’t Recommend Anything Below 9.4
Zombies and natural disasters are both fine, but the self-sacrificing saintly types have to die. The protagonist needs to be smart. No System, and no ridiculous plots where they casually gather billions' worth of supplies and a whole arsenal. That kind of thing is insulting to the reader's intelligence.

The only supernatural novel I've been able to read recently. Compared to other novels written by male authors, the content is humorous without any inappropriate jokes! Great, high quality! 👍🏻
First, let me talk about the male lead. He's one of the few characters I've seen in supernatural fiction who isn't stupid. He's incredibly self-preserving, lacks curiosity, doesn't delve into mysteries, and doesn't court death. He knows to use modern technology in any situation—a breath of fresh air indeed. He deserves high praise. His best friend is also reliable, prioritizing survival.
This book is truly excellent. It has no romantic pairings, no ambiguous relationships, and no lewd jokes. There are no descriptions of delicate hands or feet that would make you feel nauseous. The author's writing is superb, the world-building is vast, and all the plot holes and foreshadowing are resolved perfectly. Some of the fictional theories feel very realistic.
It's great! It's a bit like an ensemble piece, with a tight plot, no filler, and no unnecessary dialogue. Of course, some people might not like Baymax's personality—he's incompetent but impulsive. But I feel that Baymax drives most of the plot, and his personality complements the main character quite well. Some of their interactions are also very interesting. It's definitely worth watching!
This is the only novel I've finished reading on Tomato Bookstore, and it's fantastic. It breaks away from the typical supernatural genre with ghosts, zombies, or evil spirits, creating unique entities like the Yu, Kui, Kunlun, and various other powerful beings.
The author has very sound values and doesn't use vulgar language, making it one of the better male-oriented novels I've read. The story portrays a wide variety of characters, each vivid, three-dimensional, and lifelike. The ensemble cast is truly commendable; it feels like every character is a protagonist.
The author's writing is truly excellent; it has the feel of a traditional supernatural novel, like reading an old-school supernatural story. Most modern supernatural novels have a strong technological element and lack this feel. It's rare to find another book in this genre that's so well-written, and it doesn't mess up character relationships.
It's good. The reason I'm writing this is probably because of the genre; not many people read this kind of story these days. But I really like the main character; he's a bit simple-minded but not completely stupid. I checked the updates and found it's finished, so I'm adding this review now. (Wow, why are you only recommending this to me now?)
It's good, I like it, and it doesn't have any dirty jokes. But please, don't ship the main characters and Zhou Yibai together, I want to enjoy this quietly without worrying about anything else (mainly because I really like both of them, and your writing is good, I don't want to give up...). Please 🙏🏻
This book has a very imaginative premise. You could call it a divorce story, but it creates a new world—no ghosts, but there are realms. It's an ensemble piece; the main characters have distinct personalities. Xiao Tian is kind and taciturn, Zhou Yibai is talkative, Tang Dage has a calm madness, and Cha Shu seems like the comedic relief but is actually very perceptive, often relying on his…
