Where Have All the High-Quality High-Martial-Arts Stories Gone?
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? They all start with a spiritual power or awakening test, where the protagonist gets looked down on. Then some school beauty from another class has the highest talent or whatever, and he does too. Are there any that don’t...
Tomato Has a True God
I’m looking for stories like "Asakura-kun Is a Saint on the Outside and a Demon on the Inside". Look at my reading time: I’ve earned the right to have an opinion. Tomato is a god-tier platform, and this light novel is a hidden gem. I don’t know why nobody’s reading it. I’ve been reading for ten years, and if you’re out of books, you absolutely have to give this one a try. The male lead is fairly smart, with a bit of...

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.

Excellent! A top-tier work in the Tomato God Civilization category. Overall quality is high, with prominent strengths and relatively bland weaknesses. Highly recommended! Unlike other novels where the protagonist is merely a caretaker of their civilization, relying solely on resources and mutations for advancement, this book addresses the problems encountered in civilization development.
It's alright to read. Surprisingly, there's no smug, revenge plot, which is great. Putting everything else aside, this novel may not be the best, but at least it won't make you cringe so much that you'll feel like you're dying from embarrassment.
This is really well written. This is a true deity novel, unlike some deity novels I've read before, where everyone becomes a god, gets tired, gets hungry, and can be killed by missiles.
The combat power system is very detailed, with clear classifications for various combat power systems. Most importantly, it avoids any hype surrounding cultivation or science fiction, presenting a remarkably equal and balanced experience. There are no Qi cultivators practicing Primordial Purple Qi, nor are there any advanced civilizations that only know how to use dimensional reduction attacks.
"When the storm of destruction cleanses the last grain of flesh and dust, when the grinding of gears replaces every heartbeat, the God of Shattering will return from all things—arcs of destruction will erupt from the fractures, and the holy oil of immortality will flow from the rust. All flesh and blood are sinful, and all gears are salvation—punishment is the only mercy, and destruction is the ultimate gospel!!!!"
Praise be to Om Messiah, praise be to the God of Machines! The moment the Cataclysmic Weapons appeared and the mechanical chants began, goosebumps rose all over my body. What a magnificent civilization! The cybernetics are the ultimate pinnacle!! The protagonist's civilization's development sometimes reminded me of Iron Heart and the Orthodox-style Soviet Union—solemn and sacred...
Overall, it's good. However, the later stages deviate from the typical simulation game where civilizations play a minor role and the game relies heavily on the protagonist. Civilizations don't appear very often. The main storyline is heavily focused on the wrecked machines, giving a feeling of being led by the nose. The world-building is still decent.
This is a very good deity novel, with the protagonist following a path of mechanical technology and divine authority. The early parts were very enjoyable to read; I'd even give it a 9 out of 10. However, the plot faltered a bit after the protagonist enters university.
The author clearly considered the novel's development in the middle, later, and very late stages. Many of Tomato's novels are similar, but most only focus on the initial setup before the story begins and then it's over. It's rare to find one that's worth following.
It's really good. The author's writing style is right up my alley. I like both the divine and mechanical themes, and the combination of the two is quite enjoyable. The protagonist's personality doesn't have to be a saint. And the cheat ability seems pretty strong.
