Any Original Stories? I’m Sick of These Same Old Popular Plots
Recommend some fresh, original fantasy novels. No mainstream tropes, no lousy rebirth stories, no urban novels where the protagonist shows off and bumps into a beauty around the corner, and no apocalyptic stories with superpowers or a System. Are there any fantasy novels outside those categories? Ideally, something with a fresh premise and theme.

One of the most realistic and smoky novels I have read on Tomato so far. Every character in it is very vivid and three-dimensional. It's a very ordinary kind. The male protagonist values love, righteousness, and three upright views. He has the spirit of a northern gentleman, let alone a girl. If I had a girlfriend like this, I would give my life to him. I hope the author will continue to work hard @
The author's semi-autobiography, I couldn't help but comment first when I read nearly a hundred chapters. Great book! The best in daily writing. When I got tired of watching it in the evening, I went to bed (I read it in bed and fell asleep as soon as I was tired). I also dreamed of a similar scene in the novel. I had a girlfriend who went both ways. It seemed like I was back in the year of the purest love, and I had a relationship at that time. Unfortunately, my damn roommate opened my curtains and took out my cigarette and woke me up. My dream of pure love disappeared and I couldn't remember the content. Besides, the content of the novel is that both the male and female protagonists have their mouths, and they don't hold back their words. The plot of the male protagonist's ex-girlfriend is also filled in in a reasonable way. The male protagonist also has a group of brothers who are very good at playing. The relationship between the characters in the novel is very nice, full of surprises! It's not too late for those of you who have read this book, hurry up!
It's slow-burning, full of life, and the language is simple. There are still some minor flaws, but it's one of the best among the daily love stories I've read. It's easy and makes people want to read on. Damn autobiography!
I would like to simply share my feelings with you. 1: I have always regarded this book as the author's autobiography, because the content is relatively down-to-earth and the whole story is full of real life that makes people yearn for it. If it were an autobiography, I would really like to be friends with the author! Two: Emotionally, the ten-year long-distance running between Chen Yue and Xie Yunhai has made us better understand the difficulty and steadfastness of love. The daily life between Chen Yue and Xie Yunhai also made me realize that the interaction between lovers is the additive in life. Looking at each other's smile makes me full of energy again! Brother Chen is simply enjoying the benefits of the version. Of course, Brother Chen is also a symbol of most ordinary boys. I hope you all will work hard and be happy! Sister Zhao is also one of the few people I admire. She is really an image of a woman in the new era, very independent, independent and rational! As for Yang Jiayi, the portrayal of her image is not particularly obvious. To be honest, it is a bit contradictory but it is also true, because ordinary people just live in confusion. Brother Jin is one of the few real men in this book. He waited for more than ten years for love and finally got a beautiful woman. Congratulations to Brother Jin. If Brother Jin exists in reality, then I will definitely drink with you in the future! Three: Friendship. The friendship depicted in this book is mainly about childhood playmates, high school classmates, and several "sons" who are already in college. A few people get together less and talk more, and most of them have become families. They are no longer as free as before. It is very real, but the friendship between brothers will always last! I hope you guys are doing well! Four: The writing style of this book is simple, using more Northeastern dialects, and the whole text is more festive. The male and female protagonists' daily jokes give people a sense of the beauty of love, which made me yearn for that sweet love. The whole article revolves around the male and female protagonists, so some of the pitfalls have been filled in, but there is no detailed discussion. Readers who cannot accept it can strongly request the author to make additional chapters! Here, I strongly request 🤭 Five: I am very grateful to the author for allowing me to read such a novel with love, friendship, family affection, and warmth. Again, if this is your autobiography, I hope I am lucky enough to make friends with you. Is that okay, Xie Yunhai? This is the first time I have written such a long reading review. It is all lyrical. I hope you will forgive me!
Thanks to the author for the article. The storyline is very interesting, the rhythm is cheerful and pleasant, but it is also slow and steady. It is very comfortable to read and gives people a feeling of enjoyment. These are bits and pieces of the ordinary world. There are not so many plots in the world. It is people who give him ups and downs. I am very yearning for this kind of life 😎 I wish you a smooth life and a promising career [top post] Most of the articles are real photos of our lives, and the author's insight is very keen. This can be seen by many people, but what is missing is the ability to show these trivial matters of life in the form of words, which is rare. There are no gorgeous words in the story, but every bit of life is shown in simple language.
作者在简介里写了【臆想】这个词: 1、那是不是就是说看的这么甜,其实都是男主自己想象出来的; 2、女主有可能不在了,但是男主不愿意相信,从而得了臆想症; 3、随后就开始结合她和女主的点点滴滴,然后想象出了这么多事; 4、等到大结局的时候,男主才幡然醒悟,原来一切都是想象,从始至终都是他自己一个人; 5、希望作者不要刀,因为你的简介里写的是【臆想】,难免不让人会不由自主的想到会刀。 6、还有一点,就是这有可能是作者自己的亲身经历,生活气息浓厚,看着非常舒服。
The author can do it, he updates it every day, he is very powerful, the relationship between the male and female protagonists is very delicate, there is no messy poisonous point for the time being, the daily writing is just when will the hole of amnesia be filled 🤔🤔🤔
From beginning to end, it took about a week to read it. This book should be the most intuitive and realistic novel I have ever seen that understands the life of the young generation in Northeast China. Why is it the most true? Because after reading almost half of it, I finally discovered that this novel is a pure autobiography, not half autobiography and half fantasy as the author said. At least 80% of the main male and female protagonists must be completely true experiences. I thought you would find that almost all the characters (except the author's wife, who in the eyes of this old licker, the author has no flaws at all) have complex personalities. Xie Yunyu is bold and generous, but he is talkative and annoying and is too clingy to his wife (I don't know if it counts as a flaw); Zhang Hefeng is generous and loyal but can't handle the relationship between husband and wife; his wife is intellectually clingy but has low emotional intelligence; the brother-in-law is dull Huang Jiaxing is honest but has truth, goodness and beauty in his heart; Huang Jiaxing is a master of Yuepao but has nothing to say to his brothers and his family is extremely wealthy; Yang Jiayi is a bisexual and has thought about hooking up with Chen Yue, but the relationship is not going well, but she is enthusiastic and very open-minded towards friends, making her a very suitable friend character; the protagonist's ex-girlfriend has pestered the protagonist several times but knows how to let it go when things get better, and she also has a younger brother, who is also a poor person hurt by the fate of the family. You will find that almost everyone has the characteristics of modern online novels, but when combined, they are not annoying at all. Unlike the extreme characters in online novels, good is very good and bad is very bad, and even bad is bad for the "villain". This book is the most real world for everyone. Everyone has good and bad, and everyone is the protagonist of his own life. As the protagonist's friend, although there are always not so good people, you will not hate them. This world does not have so much meaning. Originally, this book still had quite a lot of holes to fill, such as Boss Zhang and his young wife who is six years younger (if there is no knife in this branch), what exactly happened to Chen Yue and the protagonist's ex-girlfriend, what Chen Yue's mother said to Chen Yue before Chen Yue got married, Qin Yi's final ending, the final ending of the sixty-year-old mother and son (there is a high probability that there will be a knife), etc. But if it is explained from the perspective of autobiography, it will make sense. If these things are what really happened around us, then you don't need to investigate many things. It is normal for there to be no following. From this, it can be inferred that this autobiography was probably written with a handwriting assembly outline within 2 years. Because many things have not yet been determined, such as whether my sister-in-law passed the exam in the end (but the results should be out now). I personally speculate that the author will write fictional stories one by one while keeping it as true as possible in the future, but that doesn't matter. The important thing is that I really longed for love. I was born in 2002 and just graduated from college last year. The author and my sister-in-law are not much older than me. If I were to experience the story of the protagonist, I would most likely stop at the door of a convenience store. For the rest of my life, I will only have the store, my wife, and the warm neighbors. But life is not a novel. There is no secret crush on his wife of 11 years, and there is no alternative to the canteen owner's fireworks counter. Some are just the helplessness and compromise of facing life choices again and again, as well as the regrets of recalling the past, and the confusion about the future. Thanks to the author for providing an observation window for many of us to imagine.
Full of stars, very easy to figure out, it's all about daily life, except for being envious of the salary at the convenience store [I almost cried] The emotional line is very well written, not pretentious or pretentious, and the logic is relatively reasonable. It's a good book, but I can't bear to read it. What should I do after reading it?
The emotions are described in great detail. I haven't seen a novel of this quality in a long time. But why does it look more and more like the author's autobiography? It can't really be an autobiography like the school beauty, right 🤦
