The Loyal Soul of the Righteous Blade

Now This Is the Kind of Novel Chinese People Should Read

As fellow Chinese people, you'll feel your blood boil after reading this.

Looking for Books by Authors Who've Lost Their Traffic and Can't Keep Writing, and Are About to Quit

Looking for a book like "I Came from the Wasteland". Any kind of book is fine. I don’t want to miss any gems that had to stop because they weren’t getting enough readers.

Looking for an Underrated Masterpiece That Isn't on Any Rankings. I Don't Care About the Score, Just Make Sure It's Good

Historically Accurate, Without Making Things Up

Historical fiction has more room for worldbuilding, with vivid characters and no distortion of history. I want a satisfying read that covers dynasties, major and minor events, wars, and loyal civil and military officials, all presented in a historical setting.

No Power Fantasies or Mindless Stories: Something Substantial and Not Cringey

After reading a few books that really make you think, I can't get into brainless stories anymore. It's frustrating. (No heroine, or just one heroine, but don't demean women, or I really can't stand it.)

New Authors With No Traffic, Come Swap Reviews and Keep Each Other Warm

I'd like books similar to "At the Summit of Beifeng".

New Book Swap and Support

Hey, fellow newbie! Let's help each other out.

Looking for High-Quality Historical Fiction. No Mindless Power Trips or Brain-Dead Plotting

I want high-quality historical fiction that’s engaging and doesn’t dumb things down or rely on brainless plots. It can be satisfying, but don’t treat readers like idiots. No stories like the one where the protagonist fools Cao Cao’s quartermaster about the provisions from the start, or those where a literati protagonist suddenly has the strength of a tyrant. They’re unoriginal and mindless...

I Don't Believe Tomato Has Any Masterpieces with Deep Ideas, Epic Scope, and a Grand, Sweeping Feel

I still haven't found a novel like this.

Looking for Historical Novels with a Well-Informed Sky Screen

I looked around on Tomato and found that lots of people watch short videos, get worked up about history, and then write novels. Many treat novels and TV dramas as actual history, and even marketing-account content gets taken as fact. Please, I want authors with a little more cultural knowledge. No more romanticizing our ancestors; portray the Yuan and Qing objectively.

Looking for Well-Written Political Intrigue Novels

I want a smart female lead with a high status who knows when to keep a low profile or conceal her abilities 🙈 No scummy fathers and stepmothers, or concubine half-sisters constantly causing petty trouble in the household. No sweet romance, just a pure historical power struggle 🤗

New Writers, Come On In

It's so upsetting to keep seeing the stats barely change. The reader count doesn't go up at all, and there isn't a single comment. Hardly anyone reads the whole book, and by the last chapter, almost no one is still reading. New authors, let's support one another.

New Authors (Warning! Don't Recommend Works by Big Names.)

I want to discover authors who haven’t received much attention.

New Books Only! The More Underrated, the Better!

Any new book will do. I’m open to anything, especially books that haven’t gotten much attention. It’s hard being a new author, so let’s not leave them writing to an empty room, okay?

Are There Any Good Historical Novels Set in Ancient China, with Excellent Writing and No Made-Up History?

I’m Out of Books to Read. Recommend Something Original; I’m Tired of All the Formulaic Stories

Looking for something like The Boss Is Insanely Cunning, and So Is My System. An original premise, a protagonist who isn't an idiot, and no major deal-breakers. The kind you can stay up all night reading.

Looking for a Novel

The protagonist can dream things into reality, I think. It can include the Queen from Resident Evil, the technology from The Three-Body Problem, and the Gate of Eternal Life. That’s about all I can remember.

Intrigue, Schemes, Political Maneuvering, High Intelligence, Master Plans, and Suspense

I’m a New Writer. Anyone Want to Exchange Reviews and Give Each Other Five Stars?

Any Books by New Authors? Let's Review Each Other's Books, Give Five Stars, and Add Them to Our Shelves
