Where Have All the Good Dual Male Lead Stories Gone?!
Lately I've been burned by so many bad books. I can't find a single good story with two male leads and beautiful prose. They're all amateurish...
Looking for Western Fantasy Novels
I’ve been into Western fantasy lately: elves, beast girls, gods, magic, and an interesting fantasy world. Does anyone have any good Western fantasy novels to share?
Please Recommend Tomato's Best Western Fantasy, Magic, Otherworld, and Wild-Ideas Stories
I want a great story. It doesn't have to be wish fulfillment, and I don't mind a slow pace. I've read all the famous ones, but I'm open to recommendations that are worth sticking with. Give me all your good books! (˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ )!
Two Powerful Leads, High-Quality BL
I'm looking for books like The Boyfriend I Picked Up Is Tomie [Book Transmigration]. I want something similar, definitely pure love with both leads' romantic histories clear. Nothing ridiculous, please.
Any Stories with a Really Muscular, Burly Protagonist Instead of a Pretty, Delicate One?
I've read novels for ages, as well as watched anime and movies, and the male leads are almost always refined and handsome. The more muscular guys are usually side characters. Are there any novels with a muscular man as the protagonist?
Are There Any Well-Written, Logical Stories With Two Male Leads?
Looking for books similar to The Grand Imperial Preceptor, the Great Liar.
Looking for a Western Fantasy Story with Two Male Leads, and Some Brains If Possible. Just Keep the Basic Logic Consistent
Looking for Paranormal Stories with Two Strong Male Leads
Looking for books similar to Strange Things in the Rich and Famous Circle. No infinite-flow stories or transmigrate into a book plots, please! I’m begging you.
Looking for a Western Fantasy Story with Two Male Leads!
I really love fantasy stories set in other worlds! Elves, magic, evil dragons, and all that are so cool!
Western Fantasy with Two Male Leads
Does Tomato have any good Western fantasy? Not the ensemble-cast kind. I mean something about angels or dragons, or just a setting with some interesting lore. Two male leads. I really want to read something like that, but I can never find any 😔
Any Boys’ Love Novels About Western Nobles?
Power Fantasy! Smart! A Thrill from Start to Finish! (High Ratings, System, Simulator)
Weird, high-fantasy, high-martial-arts stories are right up my alley too!
Any Classic Xuanhuan Recommendations?
Are there any stories without annoying characters? You know, the kind where some insignificant nobody keeps popping up to argue with the protagonist and pick fights, and then the protagonist spends half a chapter arguing with someone else? Every book I pick up seems to have this. It's so frustrating.
Hey, Does Anyone Have Any Good Furry Pictures or Novels? Please Share Some!
Please don't recommend books with major plot holes. Thanks.
Fantasy with a Wild Imagination, Chinese Fantasy and Xianxia
Looking for books similar to The Xie Family's Short-Lived Ghost Has Lived to Be a Hundred. It's so good, so don't be put off by the title. It starts out ordinary, but gets better and better, and you just can't stop reading. Later on, the male lead also believes in her unconditionally and does everything he can to help. Some of the scenes really made me...
Looking for a Male Lead Who’s a Muscular Hunk
Stories about muscular hunks.
Modern Stories with Two Male Leads
No showbiz!!! I want a fresh plot that doesn't rely on tired tropes. I need something to read now 👀
Looking for Recommendations for High-Quality Male-Male Romance
I like cheerful, funny stories with a male-male couple. Ensemble casts and multiple couples are fine. No angst and no bad endings, please. Ideally, something long, around four or five hundred chapters. Any recommendations? I'm dying of a reading slump!
Sweet BL Stories You Can’t Skip Through, Must Include Content Warnings
Looking for books similar to "My Gorgeous Wife Is a Master of Seduction, and the Arrogant, Unhinged Heir Can't Get Enough". Neither lead should be weak, whether on the outside or on the inside. Outwardly, they should be accomplished; inwardly, they shouldn't be stupid.
BL + Sweet Romance + Otherworld + Complete
Nothing modern!!! No!!!! I'm in a reading slump lately. Give me something exciting.
Two Male Leads, Sweet Romance. I’m Picky 😘
A lot of danmei novels I've read lately feel no different from straight romance. I don't want one of them to be all soft and delicate. I want a real romance between men.
In the Worst Reading Slump. Please Help. 🙏😂
Are there any stories where the protagonist is Bai Yu? I vaguely remember there being a comic like that. 🤔

They were definitely in love at first sight, with a unique Western romance. I often fantasized that the protagonist was a hero, about to embark on a journey with his team to face the Demon King. General and servants, lion and ale, poetry and homeland, the wheat fields they protected behind them—my heart rose and fell with them. Their adorable voices captivated me. 😘
Having read this book for a while, I can no longer suppress my admiration. For me, the character design is very much to my liking. The romantic subplot between the two protagonists, Wu Meng and Halward, is superior to many other male-centric stories on the same website.
It's so good! I don't know how to describe it, it just has a unique charm. The plot unfolds naturally, concisely and without any filler; every word and every paragraph serves the story. The characters are also very distinct; although some feel familiar, they fit the plot perfectly. It's a great read.
The author is new, but I think their writing style is quite good. It's not overly flashy, but it captures the little things in life. They put a lot of effort into describing the characters' emotions and the environment. The main character is also very appealing; they're so adorable! 💕
Initially, I started reading because of the Western fantasy theme, wondering why it was called "The Lion and the Ale." But once I started, I found the opening to be surprisingly simple and straightforward. Curious about the title, I continued reading, and the more I read, the more addictive it became. Unlike other transmigration novels, the protagonist is exceptionally unique.
This is a very interesting book, unlike anything I've read before. It has its own ideas, and compared to those nested novels on the internet, it's like a fine wine made from aged oak, rich and full-bodied, with its own unique fragrance (a deep and solid foundation, a simple and understated brilliance).
The world-building is magnificent and fantastical, the portrayal of family bonds is delicate and nuanced, the characters are vivid and three-dimensional, and the plot is intricately linked like a finely tuned machine. Every emotional outburst strikes a chord deep within the heart, and the intertwining of family love and duty is truly moving. Highly recommended!
Feifei is so good!! The writing is superb! I immediately followed her!! She's a breath of fresh air in Tomato's writing style; after reading a few chapters, I almost doubted it was her book. It's a real eye-opener, showing the style of a great writer 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Looking forward to joining the fan group, I want to join! 💕💕💕💕
The book's most unique aspect is its backdrop: the turmoil of war in Central Europe. This backdrop prevents the familiar story from feeling clichéd. Love amidst military life is filled with passion and sorrow, and the scarcity of supernatural powers imbues the tale with a poignant struggle, as the book describes: "They licked each other's wounds upon their reunion."
This story is truly well-written and delicately crafted… The author is incredibly talented. The plot and emotional development are superb… and the world-building is magnificent. Fans of Vinland Saga and Elden Ring should definitely check it out. 💕💕💕💕
