Looking for Books to Read After Catching Up on Cat Dada’s After the Game Invades
Looking for something like "Game Invasion": an expansive world, richly drawn characters, exceptionally high moral standards, and elegant dialogue and narration. After finishing this one, I couldn’t stick with any other novel. It’s hard to go back to less after having the best. It has to be one that’s fully completed.

Looking for Tomb-Raiding Stories, with the Lead Treating Ordinary Rice Fans as Passersby, Not Fawning Over Them
I've read a lot of tomb-raiding novels, including the popular ones. It feels like plenty of stories have fans or random outsiders transmigrating into tomb-raiding worlds, but not many are actually good. Are there any that feel more realistic and interesting? Some protagonists don't seem to have much of a sense of self or their own ideas.

For those who haven't read it yet, here's a heads-up... No romance (not a "man-sweetheart" type! I really don't understand why "no romance" has become "anything goes" these days, but this one is different. This one truly has no main couple, no side couples, no Pingxie, no Heihua! If you want to ship them, keep it to yourself and don't jump to conclusions).
First of all, I have to praise the author! There are so many small details and foreshadowing, and so far, none of the characters are out of character; everyone has their own hidden agendas. For example, the scene where the protagonist blows up Xie Lianhuan. Also, the interactions between Qingming, Wu Xie, and Xiaohua are very heartwarming.
So good! So good! So good! Qingming is so clever; he uses every piece of information he has to achieve his goals. Sometimes my brain can't keep up, but then I get that "Oh! I see!" Moment. The pacing is incredibly smooth. Qingming is also so cute—the kind of cute that exudes charm in every gesture. His witty remarks are hilarious, and he acts like a real "kid" when he's with Wu Xie and Xiao Hua.
It's really great! I really love the protagonist's seemingly innocent yet cunning personality—he has two personalities, one obedient and the other crazy. It's truly an atypical transmigration story, and I really love this kind of thing. The skills given by the supplementary exam system are self-taught.
It's really good, please everyone read it! The author handles the details very well, filling in all the plot holes, big and small. The writing style is also perfectly fine. And I really have to praise you all: Wu Ming, you're a good baby; System, you're a good baby; 069, you're a good baby; 066, you're a good baby; and author, you're an even better baby! So, author, could you please write the whole thing right away and give us a big surprise? 🥺
The main character is well-developed, but couldn't he at least consider his own situation? He's a child too. It's not a major tragedy, a little bit of angst is fine, but it shares a common characteristic with some other angst-filled novels I've read: the protagonist has no one behind him, only himself.
The characters are exceptionally well-developed, avoiding the cheesy, overly-advantaged plots where victory is achieved through sheer luck. Early developments are foreshadowed, and the later confrontations are truly exhilarating. The protagonist is intelligent, with a perfectly portrayed personality—clear-cut likes and dislikes, always knowing what he wants and what he's doing.
This is incredibly good! It's rare to find a Tomato fanfic that's not too out of character (OOC)! I love the no-romance aspect, sob sob! Finally, it's not that cringe-worthy, all-male romance story! The main character is very well-developed; I love this kind of intelligent, beautiful, strong, and tragic protagonist 🥰 Although it's no-romance, there's a "romance storyline" that really hits my sweet spot. Every time Qingming clashes with Wang Ling, it feels so satisfying!
Clear-headedness is like a fire, and darkness is like a knife. The character of Heizhi Tangyuan (Black Sesame Dumpling) really resonated with me; he's a skilled actor, cunning, and calculating. He appears obedient on the surface, but his true colors are revealed when his elders aren't around.
First of all, the author of this book is really dedicated, having researched a lot of materials. There's no need to worry about the author abandoning the project; updates are at least every 3-4 days. The writing is excellent, the plot is good, and it's logically sound and enjoyable, surpassing many other novels.
