Great, Underrated Novels with Fresh, Unusual Premises!!!
I'd like to read something like "Game Descent: I Want This, This, and That Too (Seeking Songs with Wine)".

The premise is interesting, the writing style is a bit simplistic, but overall there aren't any major problems. However, it's impossible for a normal person to memorize dictionary definitions; perhaps it would be better to have the protagonist carry a dictionary in their head. Also, the character "" has two strokes, not one.
It's pretty good. The protagonist's leveling-up mechanic through text was consistently maintained, and the pace of growth was fast. The pacing wasn't artificially dragged out to extend the story; it ended in just over a hundred chapters, and the ending was reasonably well-arranged. The BOSS was quite cunning, and the depiction of family relationships was also very good.
This is my first time watching this type of show, it's a very fresh perspective, I love it, it's super good, and the updates are very consistent. The only downside is that I got hooked too early, and following the updates every day is so frustrating 😓. I always have this urge to travel back to the day it ends, watch it all in one go, and then come back to watch it again 😢
The blend of text-based and eerie themes is quite good, and the dungeon designs are also very interesting.
The story is finished! Hooray! I was initially drawn in by the subject matter; it's really interesting! The main storyline and background setting are quite good, and the pacing and character development are also decent. Especially the names of the brothers Lu Ziye and Lu Zikuan—it took me a long time to realize that Lu Ziye is just Lu Ziye in name only! It's so funny how they're written.
I finished reading it, and it was quite good. Having read so many works that rely on Chinese characters or civilization for plagiarism, this content is refreshing. Those who say it's a review of elementary school knowledge, frankly, many of the characters aren't something elementary school students can recognize or understand.
A truly excellent book! The content is quite interesting and also carries some significance, reflecting certain social scandals. The ending incorporates conspiracy theories about AI and some possible possibilities, suddenly turning the story into science fiction, which is quite clever and self-consistent. The ending is also very good, leaving some room for the reader's own imagination.
It's a great read, and I have no intention of giving up so far. It's rare to find a book I'm willing to keep reading. I've been a bookworm for over a decade, and I highly recommend it. The author is incredibly down-to-earth, although they haven't responded to my inquiries yet.
This is a lighthearted, level-up story, not very long, so it's acceptable. The ideas about the conflict between ghosts and humans, and Lu Zikuan's dual identity are good, and could have been explored in greater depth. There are also some issues with the plot. However, if you set aside these issues and just read it as a relaxing read, it's a pretty good story on Tomato's list.
The ending of this novel is very reasonable; it's the most logical and fitting ending I've seen among completed novels so far. It doesn't feel rushed, the pacing is just right, and it's all very logical and reasonable, giving the book a satisfying conclusion while also leaving room for future imagination. The only drawback is that one scene in the middle, the martial arts competition, felt slightly ruthless.
