Looking for Masterpieces, but Not Anything on the Recommendation Rankings
Don't recommend anything where the protagonist's surname is Ye or Ling, where the protagonist has a cute little sister, or where the protagonist is a bleeding-heart do-gooder. In short, no stupid novels. The darker and more ruthless, the better! Kill, kill, kill!!!
Welcome to the “Don’t Be Fooled by the Title” Series
Sigh, some stories look so plain on the surface. You’ll never know how wonderful they are unless you click on them.
Recommend High-Quality Books. I'm Very Picky, and Hidden Masterpieces That Get Low Ratings Are Welcome Too
The Protagonist Builds an Entire Power System Around One Ability
The Male Lead Can Transform Into a Monster and Change Back Whenever He Wants
The female lead can be present or not, but the male lead must not be a bleeding heart.
Any Stories Where the Protagonist Is the Head of a Mechanical Empire With a Gestalt Consciousness?
I'm Stuck in a Filter Bubble, Help Me Out
Guys, share the books you think are good. Nothing old, I’ve already read those.
Nonhuman Protagonists (Not Animals): Cold-Blooded and Brutal, Evolving and Eating People

I’m Done. Stop Recommending Slay the Gods and Awkwardly Overpowered Stories
Please, I want to get flamed online. Recommend me some good books (no short ones, please!).
Strong Self-Learning Skills and Powerful Stats and Mechanics
Looking for stories like A Fire Mage's Guide to Cultivation. Any books with a protagonist who's great at teaching themselves, thinks outside the box, and lives in a world with an expansive setting?
Looking for Stories Where the Protagonist Turns into a Monster from the Start and Never Hides It, So Everyone Knows What He Is
Ideally a dark story, where becoming a paranormal entity means killing without hesitation, and becoming a monster means getting revenge on everyone who wronged you. No hiding your strength or identity, no putting on a mask.
Any Stories Where the Protagonist Has Flesh-Based Abilities?
Sacrifice, the uncanny, ancient gods, flesh, tentacles, transformation, blood, bones, human modification, forbidden alchemy. That kind of thing.
At the Peak of a Reading Slump (Finding Books These Days Is Like Panning for Gold)
Any good books out there? I've still got a few on my shelf, but they update so slowly. Can anyone recommend some? I'll share a few books I think are good first.
The Protagonist Becomes a Nonhuman Being and Gets Found Out
Something like turning into an undead creature, an animal, or a supernatural being. The protagonist uses their strong humanity to suppress their instincts and keeps growing stronger. Nothing too meme-heavy, please. I'd prefer vivid, descriptive writing and tight storytelling.
Any High-Quality Books Rated Above 9.5?
Stories with a Despairing, Oppressive Worldview Where the Protagonist Doesn’t Get Pushed Around
For example, something like In the Strange World, My Tourists Can Only Be Killed by Me
Biological Mutation, Physical Evolution, and the Path to Ascension
Looking for books similar to "The Paranormal Has Arrived. When Did I Become Cthulhu?"
There Are No More High-Quality System Novels. That's What I Say. Disagree? Come Debate Me

The Male Lead Gets Infected and Controlled, Changing Until He's No Longer Human
Novels Where the Protagonist Gradually Becomes Less and Less Human, or Less Like a Normal Creature
Looking for books like The Guest, Your Mom's Tentacles Are Crying! The stranger the better, like Dr. Apple in The Guest, Your Mom's Tentacles Are Crying! (either her battlefield form or her true form).
Looking for Quality Stories Built Around One Core Ability and a Unique System
Recommend Stories Where the Protagonist's Ability Is the Seven Deadly Sins
Madmen, Flesh-and-Blood Technology, the Unknowable, and Cthulhu

This is an excellent new book. The protagonist's abilities can be considered comparable to those of Kars, a JoJo-level creature. The writing is decent, and the storyline is clear. In short, this is a martial arts novel set in an urban post-apocalyptic world, and it's worth reading.
Wow, this is amazing! It perfectly matches my ideal novel. It doesn't completely abandon humanity, but when life is threatened, it can unhesitatingly discard all emotions and seek survival with absolutely rational thinking. Moreover, its evolution speed is extremely fast; given a sample, it can quickly learn and enhance it. A thrilling read without sacrificing lightness. A masterpiece!!
It's normal for some people not to like this kind of novel; everyone has different opinions. For example, some people prefer post-apocalyptic stories, while others dislike the "Will of the Swarm" narrative. But for me, this novel has a relaxing feel that suits my taste, and the rapid growth also brings joy.
The first hundred chapters are non-toxic or slightly toxic, but the later chapters become noticeably toxic. Inventory 1. As mentioned in the chapters following the Hell A-level and Zombie C-level events, the resources (high-grade flesh and blood) consumed by the protagonist to advance from D-level to B-level were discussed.
Some plot points were unpleasant to watch, feeling overly clichéd, including nonsensical dialogue (I can't go into detail as it would spoil the plot, and it's hard to describe), the classic "Sect Grand Competition," and the classic selfishness of the human elite. There were some positive elements, but they were few and didn't shine.
I finished reading it in one go, and it's definitely one of the best among Tomato's novels. The protagonist is intelligent, there aren't any glaring logical flaws, and the writing style feels quite mature, not like a newcomer's. Is that old guy secretly reincarnated? The overall plot is quite tight, and the overall reading experience is good. The world-building is also well done. It's a rare gem.
If you prioritize efficiency and have low moral standards, this book is for you. If you're looking for dark fiction, I'll tell you the protagonist still retains some humanity. If you have strong morals and dislike the bizarre, this book will only evoke more negative emotions in you, so turn left. The protagonist's character is more of a neutral stance between these two extremes.
I hope someone can see this long, heartfelt passage. In short, I really like it. I wrote this long paragraph to show that my liking is not without reason. (Comment posted on November 7th, 2025: I've finished reading all the updated chapters, and I'm personally very satisfied.)
9/10 Quite good. It vividly portrays the inhuman, collective consciousness-driven actions for survival and evolution. It's one of the more intelligent stories in the genre, and the characters are quite lively and memorable.
Currently updated to chapter 100, it's a very enjoyable read. Even when the story enters the official world, there aren't any idiots challenging the protagonist or making bets, and the official world doesn't suppress or restrict the protagonist. The protagonist's transformation later on is described very coolly and rationally. Thumbs up!
