Wielding My Sword to Slay Demons and Protect the World

Looking for Books About Genuine Taoist Priests, Written by Authors Who Really Know Their Classics and the Basics of the Different Schools

Looking for books like Traditional Martial Arts: Slacking Off Back in the Village? I’ll Train and Become a Martial Arts Saint. I want something written by an author who’s genuinely well-read in Daoist classics and knows their stuff. Don’t recommend anything written by someone who hasn’t done their homework. The protagonist shouldn’t be too young and should be mature-minded. If they’re too young and immature, I’m not interested...

Novels With a Gentle, Refined Male Lead Who Truly Seems Like an Immortal Descended from Heaven

Good writing and mutual doting, please. Absolutely no domineering CEOs, obsessive personalities, or inferiority complexes (I’m begging you). I want someone who’s genuinely gentle and refined, like an untouchable, otherworldly jade, and perhaps a little clueless in some areas.

Like A Requiem for the Past: Immortal Vibes, Invincible or Nearly Invincible, Wandering the Mortal World, No Female Lead

If it's not an invincible or near-invincible protagonist story, a fast-paced one is fine too. Preferably over 200,000 characters. If there aren't any, don't force recommendations. Thanks, fellow cultivators.

Traditional Cultivation, with a Yao as the Protagonist

Looking for books like Tiger Demon. The tiger is the focus, the law is the foundation. The road to cultivation stretches on and on. How can the heavens help the Dao? Cultivating all living beings is hard; opening one's apertures is only the beginning. Who will stand at the summit at the end of the road? The Three Pure Ones descend to save the world, and this poor Daoist returns to the dusty world.

Traditional Cultivation: Anything More Rigorous? No Systems or Overpowered Treasures

Looking for books like *Xuantian Cultivation Record*.

Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism

Any novels about Buddhism, Taoism, or Confucianism? I’m in a reading slump!!?!?!?

Out of Books to Read, Recommend High-Quality Stories Like The Wire

Looking for books similar to Spy War: My Codename Is Useless Barbed Wire (Spy War: The Deadly Trap). I want recommendations for books of equal or better quality than Spy War: My Codename Is Useless Barbed Wire. I’ve been reading for a long time and am pretty picky, especially about logical consistency...

Top-Rated Historical Alternate-History Novels with Careful, Rigorous Writing

Historical fiction like The Grand Councilor, with rigorous writing.

Traditional Eastern Xianxia Novels

At least three million words. Ideally, the cultivation levels should be Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Tribulation Transcendence, Great Ascension, and Immortal Ascension, followed by True Immortal and then godhood or something, with room to advance further.

Looking for a Kindhearted Protagonist Who Helps the Suffering

I want something with a strong sense of purpose, preferably with no romance. The characters should be kind, thoughtful, and driven by a desire for revenge. They should dare to speak, act, and dream, and not waste time on empty gestures. Any gender is fine. It could be about love of country, another nation, the world, or liberation. Give me something good.

Highly Rated Masterpieces Featuring the Dao, Confucianism, Buddhism, Evil Cultivation, Demons, and Spirits

One Man, One Sword, and One Maid

One female lead.

A Lone Sword Immortal Who Appears at the Height of His Powers

Seek the Way, Pursue the Way, Follow the Way, Attain the Way

All beings under heaven seek the path to immortality, while I alone seek enlightenment. Enlightenment brings eternal life, yet the multitudes abandon the Dao to pursue immortality, mistaking the branch for the root. The immortal path promises freedom and ease, but what does it mean to be free? What does it mean to be at ease? There are no immortals in this world. If there were, they would be demons, for demons are unrestrained, free, and at ease.

A Poem Sums Up a Life, a Tune Plays Out the Human World. In White Robes, a Passing Traveler

Ancient-style cultivation, a man who's indifferent to the core, no CP, and whose personality doesn't change later on. The kind of person who seems almost divine.

Please, can some expert help me out?

Come on, everyone, recommend some books! Seasoned readers, assemble!

No Female Leads! Fantasy! Cultivation!!!

Looking for Books About Fighting Ghosts, Demons, and Zombies. No Uncle Nine's World, I'm Tired of Those

Novels With Vast Worlds, Undercurrents Between Factions, and Racial Rivalries

Stories with expansive worldbuilding, multiple plotlines, plenty of foreshadowing, and conflicts between many factions, like *The Legend of the Evil Heroes*, *Beast Blood Boiling*, and *City in the Apocalypse*. Any genre is fine.

Traditional Xianxia Novels

It feels like traditional xianxia novels are hard to find on Tomato now. Does nobody like pure cultivation stories anymore? It's all the same cookie-cutter, imagination-driven stuff.

The Way of Spiritual Roots Is Ultimately a Minor Path; Traditional Cultivation Alone Leads to the Great Way

No spiritual-root fantasy. It’s too monotonous. I want traditional fantasy.

Looking for Mortal-Style Cultivation Novels, Nothing Too Over-the-Top

Please don't jump straight to the Deity Transformation or Body Integration stages. I'd like something longer. Thanks, fellow cultivators.
