Besides Yan Zong, Are There Any Good Rich-and-powerful Novels on Tomato?
Looking for books like I Have 9 Trillion Simp Bucks. Other tycoon novels are either predictable, painfully awkward, or just badly written.
Looking for Rich-Protagonist Stories: No Dumbed-Down Characters, Lavish Spending, No Keeping a Low Profile, and Ideally Real-Life Figures
I want a story where the protagonist gets rich from the start, with little showing off or face-slapping. Keep it somewhat realistic, with all kinds of extravagant spending, and have them gradually enter elite circles. It’d be great if real people appeared in the story, too, to make it easier to immerse myself.

Why do people who read rich-and-powerful stories like multiple male leads? Because no-couple and one-on-one romances feel like charity cases, while over 30% of the story is livestream viewers sending gifts. The male lead's like some selfless giver of money. Are there really no stories that fit what I'm looking for?

Although it started as just ordinary daily life, every single income earned was exactly what I wanted. I like this kind of book where the protagonist quietly makes a fortune, and there aren't any blemishes I dislike. I give it five stars. It's just that the book isn't finished yet, so I hope the author writes well, updates frequently, and gives the protagonist a few more admirers. 20250130
I enjoy this kind of simp-like story. The author's writing is good and flows smoothly. The protagonist's simping is believable, and even when feelings are there, there's no need to deliberately break up for the sake of system rewards; he just goes for it.
The most important thing about this excellent book is that even though my roommate is such a disgusting person, the author's writing style made me not angry at all. Also, even though the female lead is such a materialistic and manipulative character, I actually found it very enjoyable to read. The handling of the story is really excellent—lighthearted, funny, and satisfying.
I've been suffering from a reading slump for so long, but I've finally found a book I like! The main character isn't brainless at all, and the plot is just right! I hesitated for a long time before I wanted to tell you something: I met an uncle on Tomato (a Chinese social networking site), and we chatted for over half a year, getting along very well. Suddenly, he suggested meeting up.
It's just a dying otaku's fantasy. It's undeniably exhilarating, but the relationships are progressing way too fast. He's already calling the first school beauty "husband," what's he going to do with the rest? 🤔
Unlike other simp novels where the male lead owns luxury cars worth tens of millions, this book leans more towards realism. Also, it's a slice-of-life story, unlike other super-rich novels where people constantly try to show off in front of the protagonist only to be humiliated. I personally quite enjoyed it and hope the author continues with this lighthearted style.
The pseudo-Tengu (a type of supernatural being) setting is quite funny. In chapters 50-60, the materialistic female lead sees the protagonist's 200 million mansion and instantly becomes devoted to him, decisively cutting off her suitors. Later, she even brings her entire dorm to her side, which is quite interesting. However, there are some minor issues.
I thought I wouldn't be able to get into campus romance novels, but I found a unique "simp" dynamic. The system allows for more flexibility and fewer restrictions. I've read too many simp novels where the protagonist racks their brains trying to maximize their spending, or online tycoons showering money on live streams while the protagonist is broke and eating instant noodles—too many limitations!
Dear author, this system notification indicates that your work is of very high quality, the plot is very captivating, and there are already multiple requests for updates. When will you be updating? You have been resting for X minutes. When will you start updating? Even the donkeys in the production team dare not rest like this!
Yes, that's great. Starting with the 204 million mansion, things changed drastically. If you're a "simp," you should avoid the person you're fawning over suddenly falling for you. The protagonist should have said he was busy and would contact him later when he heard who was coming. This would have completely prevented Lin from falling for him right away.
