Please Recommend Engrossing Tomato Novels Without Stupid Plotting
Villain, urban, or fantasy novels are all fine 😊 I'm a seasoned reader of ten years, so please don't recommend beginner-level novels; I can't get into them. I'm older now and hope to read something with a well-reasoned, tightly plotted story. I don't mind power fantasies, but I don't want everyone else to act stupid just to make the protagonist look smart.

The plot is engaging... The protagonist is quite shrewd and involved in organized crime, which is strictly cracked down on in China... But it's beyond the reach of foreign authorities!
This is awesome! This dark theme suits me perfectly. I hate all the restrictions on reading books.
It's good. Besides "Killing An Xin," this is the only other gangster novel by Tomato.
Highly recommend this! I really want to show those who like to watch post-apocalyptic, domineering CEO, or time-travel stories—those who think they're ruthless and decisive—what true ruthlessness is. It's about straightforward, honest, and forceful tactics, without any sentimentality or petty schemes.
This is a great book. Keep up the good work with updates! I want to ask, are the summoned characters absolutely loyal to the protagonist? There's no such thing as betrayal, right? @StupidDinosaur
This is a realistic tropical setting story with excellent writing. But seriously, isn't the protagonist's cheat ability just a random stroke of luck, like having a powerful father? 🤦
I loved reading it and wanted to keep reading. It was very well-written, and I never felt bored and wanted to give up. I really liked Jiang Wang's character. It's a pity it suddenly ended; the abrupt ending really caught me off guard. But I understand that it would be difficult to write more later, so it's not a bad thing.
Thankfully, the setting is overseas, otherwise it would have been over long ago. The writing is of average quality, but there are plenty of satisfying moments. A good read when you're looking for something to read. Keep up the good work, author! 💪
The pacing of this system-based novel is very comfortable, but the system's presence is minimal yet indispensable, serving as a supplement to the numerous film and television characters' introductions. The main character is well-developed without major flaws, and most of the other important supporting characters are also from existing film and television works, so there's no need to worry about…
For those who are sensitive to gacha-themed content, have doubts about the names, or are considering kicking out those who are not good at gacha games after reading the comments, I strongly suggest you read this before you comment. To be honest, I'm pleasantly surprised to find tomatoes of this quality! I've stayed up for three nights straight to finish the latest chapter.
