Are There Really No High-Quality Women’s Fiction Books Anymore?
Looking for books similar to "Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty of a Villainous Cannon Fodder". I’m so frustrated. Some quick-transmigration authors really don’t understand what quick transmigration means, and drag a single arc out for a hundred chapters. I hope someone can recommend some fast-paced, high-quality stories with no romance. No number one...
Recommend Books Rated Above 9.8 That Are Worth Reading at Least Twice
Male- or female-targeted novels are both fine.

Truly Stunning Historical Romance
The All-Time Best in the Era Fiction Genre! The GOAT
Mystery, Crime Solving, Coroners, Strong Female Lead, Career-Focused, Ancient Times to Modern Day
I'd like something like "The Auspicious Lotus Tower" (the original novel for the Cheng Yi-starring TV series "Mysterious Lotus Casebook"). Also, are there any novels similar to "Mysterious Lotus Casebook"?
Tomato's Four Widely Recognized Wild Female Leads: Besides Yin Nian, Who Are the Other Three?

Looking for an Elegant Historical Chinese Romance Without Outlandish, Over-the-Top, or Brain-Dead Tropes
I want something with elegant, delicate writing. Not the kind that opens with someone getting disfigured or having their heart cut out. That's too melodramatic and clumsy. And no side characters like concubine-born daughters or female antagonists publicly attacking the heroine at banquets. People like that wouldn't survive three hours in ancient times unless they were faking their deaths. It's so unrealistic.
Looking for Ancient Detective Novels, Without a Bunch of Women Competing or Domestic Infighting
I want a novel about solving cases in ancient times. Not one that keeps throwing in a pile of household infighting and rivalry between women. No CP is fine, and I don't want the overall atmosphere to be too heavy either.
Looking for a Female Lead Who Pulls Off Lots of Wild Stunts, Is Capable, Quick-Witted, and Gets Revenge on the Spot
Looking for books similar to "The Strong-Willed Heroine Starts Beating Scumbags After Leaving the Underworld". The heroine never lets herself suffer. She has status and power, and she fights back hard, teaching people a lesson on the spot. No one dares say a word.
Mystery and Crime-Solving Stories, One Case After Another
I don't want one continuous plot that runs all the way to the end. I want each storyline to wrap up before the next one begins.
I Just Finished the 9.9-Rated Masterpiece The Tang Dynasty’s Pearl-Splitting Record and Now I’m in a Reading Slump. Any Similar Recs?
Looking for something like "The Tang Dynasty's Pearl-Seeking Record". I just finished this 9.9-rated novel, and it absolutely lives up to its reputation. Please recommend similarly highly rated historical romance or xianxia novels.
Looking for Fast-Paced Historical Mystery and Detective Novels! No Romance!
Looking for books like Chang'an Twelve Hours (Complete in 2 Volumes). Any fast-paced historical mysteries with an ancient setting? No romance, and no mindless power fantasies!
Looking for Mystery Novels Rated 9.9 or Higher
The protagonist shouldn't be useless, and the horror should come with a touch of comedy.
Ancient-Era Romance With a Highly Intelligent Lead, Preferably Complete
Political intrigue stories where it's not just the protagonist who's smart; the supporting cast should be sharp too.
Looking for Mystery Stories Focused on Solving Cases, Without Messy Romance
Ancient Mystery and Crime-Solving, No System
I'm looking for books like The Longest Day in Chang'an, the complete two-volume edition. No modern technology: solving cases in ancient times should be genuinely difficult. Stories where the protagonist gets a System for no reason are no fun.
Looking for High-Quality Historical Romance with Excellent Writing
I hope the writing is serious. I’ve been reading web novels for six years, so please, everyone, recommend stories set in the imperial harem, with all its intrigue and schemes!

This is the most mind-bending novel I've ever read on Tomato's platform. The female lead is a pure ancient person, and incredibly intelligent!!! The cases in the beginning are all very complex, involving people and events that other novels might only reveal at the end.
The rating is low, but each character is very well-developed. Each case is connected to modern cases, with each element intricately linked. The author clearly put a lot of effort into the book, using precise terminology and legal statutes. The main characters all have shining qualities, showcasing the multifaceted nature of human emotions through love, friendship, loyalty, and family bonds.
The Tomato rating system is so confusing! Based on my extensive experience reading crime and detective books, this one deserves at least a 9.6, Especially as you read on. The author has a wealth of knowledge, and the male and female leads are very well-developed, each with their own charismatic personalities and memorable moments. I highly recommend it!
It's a good read; both the male and female leads are very upright people. The female lead is very clear-headed, and I feel sorry for her past experiences, but those experiences have also made her stronger. The cases so far are all very interesting.
Wow, this is so well written! The process of solving the case is incredibly detailed, and the relevant professional knowledge is described realistically and specifically. There are no perfunctory summaries or glosses. It's clear that the author put a lot of effort into it. There are very few down-to-earth articles like this on Tomato. The romance is a rare and healthy one.
I feel this detective novel has incredibly strong logical thinking, but there are so many names that I can't remember them all. If I take a day off, I'll forget what everyone did. The cases are indeed quite interesting. I wonder if any director will adapt it into a film; I really want to see it. The writing in the book is very refined; it makes you feel like you're seeing the scenes right there.
It's really good! The female lead is very meticulous. Although there aren't many chapters yet, so we haven't seen her solve many cases with her intelligence and brilliance, her future looks promising. I hope the updates come sooner! Wishing the author a happy new year and may your writing flow like the wind! 👍 The score is definitely too low.
This is a truly captivating work; once you start reading, you won't be able to put it down, and it's unforgettable. The story avoids common online novel tropes like cheat codes, time travel, rebirth, and systems that disrupt the narrative structure. It perfectly embodies the spirit of classic detective literature—a blend of harsh reality and idealistic idealism.
So far, it's been a great read. I've learned a lot about the meanings of ancient Chinese words. The plot focuses more on solving cases, which is my type of story. The romance develops gradually, and so far only the male lead has fallen for her; I'm not interested in the female lead (I love it!). The writing is also very delicate and relatable. Please update soon! 😳😳😳
It suits my taste perfectly. The writing is quite good, and the plot is exciting. It seems to focus on solving cases. The female lead has a very well-developed and three-dimensional personality, and the supporting characters are also vividly portrayed. Keep up the good work, author! 💕💕💕
