Beginners Stay Out, 2,000+ Hours Required
No amateurish writing. Ideally one heroine, and preferably mature content. A System is fine if it plays only a minor role.
Interstellar Fiction Only, Please!
I hope the protagonist is the child of an important figure who was lost outside the family as a child, then later reveals their identity in front of everyone. Seeing them reveal an incredible identity in front of others is one of my favorite guilty pleasures, ahhh!
Are There Any Novels About Space Battleships on Tomato Novels?

A Single Female Lead With Lots of Screen Time, Smart and Never a Burden on the Male Lead
One female lead, with plenty of screen time. She’s clever, not a burden who depends on the male lead. She’s cold to everyone else but sweet to him. Something sweet, in a male-oriented story.

Mecha Stories and Sci-Fi: Where Have All the Great Ones Gone?
“Flesh is weak; embrace the machine” shouldn't just be a slogan. True machines shouldn't have feelings at all! Most mechanical sci-fi these days is about someone being reincarnated or accidentally becoming someone or something, followed by pages and pages of personal drama and romance.

Looking for Interstellar Warships. Don't Tell Me About Superpowers or Mecha.
I want stories about interstellar battleships, and the protagonist needs to start out already beyond the planet, in outer space. They've already left the planet and can build spaceships. Don't tell me the protagonist has to slowly build an interstellar battleship from Earth, then slowly become a part of the universe...
Looking for Car Stories: Mechanics, Racing, Sports Cars, and Engines
Looking for something like Stand Up and Kick? Who Taught You to Drive a Mecha Girl Like That! (Codename: Kindling). I want a novel about cars with a bit of anime flavor, something about machinery, preferably cars, sports cars, or racing. A male lead who modifies, sells, or buys cars, or even a farming novel, would work too.

It's pretty good, but... When you update once, minor flaws are magnified, and the immaturity of your writing is criticized. When you update twice, a little patience is born, and the plot's progress is given more attention. When you update three times, small praises begin to emerge, and the number of unread readers starts to decline.
I particularly love the theme. Since I play Kantai Collection but never pay attention to the story, I actually only like original stories that use the Kantai Collection template. This one, however, is a space science fiction story, which falls into a different category.
The author's book is quite well-written, but the caliber of the naval guns is too small. The main and secondary gun calibers of these ships could easily be increased tenfold. Otherwise, a 2km-long battlecruiser with a main gun caliber of only 1.8M is far too small. They could actually change it to an 18m caliber!
This is a very good book, with no major flaws or painful moments throughout. The plot is also very interesting. If I had to nitpick, the emotional aspects are a bit lacking, but that's also a strength. Also, the last few chapters feel a bit rushed. The ending is a very beautiful, semi-open ending.
Well, I actually really like ship girl novels, but I don't like forcibly dividing ship girls into rarity levels. I prefer each girl to have her own unique characteristics. For example, destroyer girls are fast, consume fewer resources, have weak main guns but possess powerful close-range torpedoes; cruiser girls are slightly slower, but their main gun firepower surpasses that of destroyers, and…
To be honest, the author's writing is quite good; at least the style is passable. On Tomato, there really isn't a better interstellar ship girl fanfic than this author's. Of course, it's not without its flaws. The author lacks a bit of imagination; for example, even in interstellar space, they're still using tethers to pull the ships. 🤦🤦 But overall, it's still quite enjoyable. Hope the author keeps up the good work! 💕💕
Overall it's not bad, but the setting feels a bit familiar, somewhat similar to that TV show I watched before, something about the Fireship and the Dragon Whale family, especially the family setting and the warship artifacts!
Overall, it's a great read, but there's just too much to remember towards the end. Also, it felt like the romance wasn't developed much in the beginning before the vows were made. I hope there will be more romantic developments later on. Keep up the good work, author! 💕
It's a good book, but I still hope the ship girls have names. Aside from the first few, they all seem to lack presence; I don't know their names, whether they're historical ships, or what their skills are. I hope the story can be expanded on. Good luck, author! 💪
The best ship girl novel I've ever read I didn't expect it to end so quickly; there aren't many good ship girl novels these days.
