I’m Dying Laughing, My Stomach Hurts from Laughing So Hard at Midnight: The Queen Rises From a Top-Tier Star

I’m dying of laughter.

Political Scheming, Mutual Mind Games, Everyone Is Sharp, With No Absolute Good or Evil, Only Different Loyalties

Looking for books like She Was Reborn as a Treacherous Minister's Daughter, and Played the Role to Perfection. I really want a spirited, heroic female lead, like an ancient female general. The male lead shouldn't become lovesick the moment he meets her, and the supporting characters shouldn't be dumbed down. Everyone should have their own personality. Don't make all the glory...

Novel Recs Plaza!

Everyone, please recommend some good books! If you're out of things to read, come on in!!

Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones, the thirst for power, ancient or modern settings, satisfying wish-fulfillment, and a brisk pace.

The Best of the Best in Historical-Era Fiction: You’ll Regret Missing These!!!

Something like Xia Xiaolan's story. I couldn't stop thinking about it long after I finished.

Highly Rated Stories! Smart, Strong Female Leads! Please Recommend Some

Are there any books you can read over and over without getting tired of them?

Another Novel on Tomato Novel with a 9.9 Rating

I wonder if Tomato Novel has any masterpieces rated 10.0?

Any Stories Where the Male Lead Has Someone He Loves, but Falls for the Female Lead After She Seduces Him?

Any Feel-Good Stories with a Female Lead, No Romance, Good Values, and No Stupid Characters?

Real Political Intrigue Fiction: Nothing Shallow or Brain-Burning, That’s My Taste

Reading this will make you wonder whether you have a brain. Highly, highly recommended. Everyone is smart, and the foreshadowing runs throughout the whole story. Anyway, I didn't understand a thing. It's just satisfying from start to finish. All I can say is the author's writing is insanely good.

Strong Female Leads with No Romance, Please 🙏🏻

Please stop recommending stories with romance in threads asking for no-romance stories! I'm begging you! No romance, no romance, no romance. Important things must be said three times. And please, no soft, cutesy girls who rely entirely on the male lead. I'm begging you 🙏🏻 Please check the tags 🙏🏻

I Declare Lu Songli the Top Female Schemer in Tomato Fiction

Looking for books like After the Marriage Swap, the Cannon-Fodder Original Wife Gets a Happy Ending with the Young General. I love stories with a smart heroine who has both brains and tactics. It’s even rarer to find a capable second male lead who isn’t made stupid or forced into the plot. In the end, the person who understands you best is your enemy.

Any Well-Written Domestic Family Feud Novels With No Palace Intrigue??!!

Pure domestic power struggles, no romance.

A Truly Feel-Good Female-Focused Novel, No Frustrating Moments at All, No Identity Mysteries

I just want a pure wish-fulfillment story with absolutely no frustrating moments. The female lead shouldn't have too many mysteries surrounding her identity, and there shouldn't be some big boss stronger than her. Ideally, she should be invincible. No romance, please. If there's a couple, it tends to become a case of the male lead being even stronger than the female lead. Male-oriented stories without romance are fine too.

Recommend Some Good Books with Basic Common Sense

No school or academy settings, school beauties, goddesses, empresses, harems, male-male pairings, saintly heroines, teams where one person drags along several deadweights, or characters who act less than human and look for someone to own them.

In a Reading Slump, Looking for Masterpieces That’ll Blow My Mind

I'm looking for stories like *I've Been Possessed for 90,000 Years*. Nothing brainless or dumbed down; fresh ideas, any genre, exciting, funny, scheming, or imaginative, all welcome.
