Recommend some fresh, original fantasy novels.

Are there any fantasy novels outside those categories? Ideally, something with a fresh premise and theme.

This isn't a typical angst-filled novel about torturing the female lead and the male lead; it's a novel about the despair of life. Personally, I think Chi Shu is the male lead, and both the male and female leads are villains. Sheng is innocent, but everything in the story is so desperate and oppressive that the male and female leads can't even consider Sheng's feelings.
I never expected Tomato to write such a high-quality novel. The plot is fresh and imaginative, and even the melodramatic elements are original. It's really well-written, except the characters are sometimes a bit odd. The female lead isn't a saint, which is great. If the female lead chooses Shengwen in the end, I won't continue reading, because that would be a serious OOC for me.
It's a good book; it's quite different from Tomato's other works, somewhat like *Journey Under the Midnight Sun*.
It's so good! I hope it has two male leads. I'm easily moved to tears, and I basically cried while watching it.
This book is really suitable for a movie adaptation! While Sheng is also good, I still hope the female lead ends up with Chi Shu. Judging from the foreshadowing and the synopsis, I reckon Chi Shu will die! 😢
The only drama where the female lead always liked the second male lead without any melodramatic plot twists where she suddenly changed her mind and fell for the male lead! Chi Shu's love is so genuine! Always supporting Chi Shu!
The story is original; two people struggling in the mire become intertwined, developing a complex and irreplaceable bond. Although they cannot be together, their hearts beat for each other—a deep, inseparable, and unbreakable affection. A very good book.
This is the only novel that made me cry uncontrollably. From the very first chapter, I was captivated by its oppressive atmosphere, and it's also the only novel for which I've written a review. I feel heartbroken for Chi Shu, saddened by Sheng Wen, and pity Yu Wen. Regardless of who Yu Wen ultimately chooses, the other remains a source of deep regret in this novel.
Beautiful! 🍅 It's rare to find such beautiful character designs, especially for an idiom. It's not that Sheng is bad; the female lead and Chi Shu are the most suitable couple. They conspired together to do so many things, and their relationship was more than just love—it was a deeper bond of shared suffering.
It's so good! The more I read, the deeper my regret became. I can't bear to think about their final fate. Chi Shu is such a wonderful person. I've never written a review before, this is the first time. The author is amazing!
