The protagonist can dream things into reality, I think. It can include the Queen from Resident Evil, the technology from The Three-Body Problem, and the Gate of Eternal Life. That’s about all I can remember.

I'm Out of Things to Read. Looking for High-Quality Stories with Great Writing and a Smooth, Unawkward Plot
I'm more interested in historical settings. Farming, fantasy, palace intrigue, romance, or male-male pairings are all fine, as long as the writing and plot are good. Ideally, there shouldn't be any misunderstandings between the leads. These days I drop so many novels before I even get halfway through. The ratings are ridiculously inflated, and I don't even want to get started on the leads' characterizations.

It's so good, absolutely amazing! "So good" is the only word to describe it. I hadn't planned to watch it, but I instantly couldn't control myself; it was incredibly addictive. I love every single character in it. After watching the first half, I felt completely refreshed.
Wow, this is absolutely amazing! The phrase "vivid characters" doesn't even begin to describe it. It feels like the characters in this book aren't just two-dimensional figures, but have been given real souls by the author. It's so well-written!
It's very enjoyable to watch, never gets boring, and is refreshing. The characters are also rich in emotion, leaving a deep impression. The only downside is that it has no downsides, which is a real shame!
This book is so good! The plot is perfect, I really love the premise. The story is a bit angsty, but it's so good! I absolutely love reading it!!!
A truly excellent book, especially in the incredibly well-developed characters, whose personalities and traits are portrayed so vividly that they feel like real, living people, not just fictional characters. The story is also rich and engaging, with a clever and skillful narrative style that is very captivating.
The content is good, and the characters are well-developed. I haven't seen such a good novel on Tomato Bookstore in a long time. It made me, someone who only reads a little bit of each novel, interested in continuing to read it. I highly recommend it.

The story is full of ups and downs, with a tight pace throughout, from climax to calm, and the occasional humor makes it very engaging. The characters are vividly portrayed, and the plot is logical and well-founded. Kudos to the author for his talent.
This book is truly fantastic! The characters express their emotions with such subtlety that you can really empathize with them. The plot is captivating, every detail is meticulously crafted, and the overall quality is exceptionally high. I highly recommend it to everyone!
It's so good, no exaggeration. The content is tight, the plot doesn't drag, and the emotional descriptions are delicate.
