Looking for books similar to "Steal a Piece of the Sky". I recommend "Steal a Piece of the Sky", a novel that starts in the 1990s. It's inspirational, idealistic, and full of drive, and it captures the memories and struggles of people who came of age after the 1990s.

Looking for books like Reborn, I Tutor My Younger Sister and Shock the Nation. What kind of awful high-martial-arts stories are people writing these days?

Are there any that don’t...

It's alright, over 300 chapters, not bad for passing the time. I'd say it's a decent read. The protagonist always unconditionally helps his original friend Z, and a lot of the plot is driven by helping his friend. I feel like those characters are pretty useless.
Good, good. There's plenty of setup, the world is vast, the cultivation system is well-developed, and there are many paths to cultivation. Currently, the protagonist has established his own unique path. The writing is strong, adept at using flashbacks to expand the plot and world-building. The reason it doesn't have many readers is because of its slow pacing.
The story is quite engaging, but please reduce the amount of writing about some irrelevant supporting characters, such as the Zhao family members; there's absolutely no need to write about them. Over a hundred chapters have been dedicated to joining the government and interacting with officials! It's getting boring, I'm quitting!
It's well-written. Author, please update soon... 5-Star review! What I hate most these days are plots where the protagonist immediately encounters a very strong enemy and then constantly fights back... The author's writing is gradual and unhurried. Pretty good.
The style is similar to the classic "mortal cultivation" genre; it's not a wish-fulfillment story. It features elements like "suppressing cultivation levels" and "many opportunities are unrelated to the protagonist." The protagonist has a slightly unnecessary overpowered ability, but he acts methodically, knows when to advance and retreat, and avoids major risks in the early stages while still…
I appreciate the absence of contrived hatred or strange grudges; it's much better than many fantasy novels. This is a testament to the skill of seasoned readers.
It's right up my alley, isn't it? The author is clearly experienced; the plot design, character development, and the protagonist's growth all follow a predictable pattern. The author avoids forcing the protagonist into events involving vastly different power dynamics, which is excellent. I find it very reasonable. Thought-provoking and meaningful.
The book's strength lies in the nuanced character development of many supporting characters. However, the Tomato platform is better suited for fast-paced, action-packed stories, and the excessive focus on supporting characters slows down the pacing. The early chapters are also somewhat frustrating, making it less suitable for publication on Tomato. Personally, though, I'd give it a 9.5 Or higher.
Keep up the good work, author! My expectations aren't high; just make sure the logic is sound and the plot and power levels don't jump around too much. It's so hard to find a good book on Tomato Bookstore, especially one with so many words. Five stars for you! I haven't finished reading chapter 50. A talking, intelligent water demon has appeared in the village, and the protagonist has only just begun his martial arts training. The power level system is completely broken. I'll give it 2 stars.
I've already read 300 chapters. The author's writing is good, the power levels increase gradually, and there are plenty of foreshadowing elements. However, there's not much fighting or intrigue between characters. The fight descriptions are also somewhat immature, but the writing style is refreshing and easy to read. A worthwhile read.
