My Cat and Dog’s Diary of Helping Me Catch Thieves

I'm Out of Things to Read. Looking for High-Quality Stories with Great Writing and a Smooth, Unawkward Plot

I'm more interested in historical settings. Farming, fantasy, palace intrigue, romance, or male-male pairings are all fine, as long as the writing and plot are good. Ideally, there shouldn't be any misunderstandings between the leads. These days I drop so many novels before I even get halfway through. The ratings are ridiculously inflated, and I don't even want to get started on the leads' characterizations.

No Popular Picks, Just Great Stories That Few People Have Read

Anything is fine, really. I just hope the author's writing feels fresh and original. Something innovative and readable would be great. No clickbait titles, please.

Why Have So Many Books Been Shelved?

I've noticed that so many books don't just fail to get recommended, even ones already on my bookshelf can't be found in search. So many great works have disappeared from Tomato Novels. Is it really a case of bad books driving out the good ones?

Looking for Fresh, Intelligent Novels with a Protagonist Who Isn’t a Loser

Looking for books similar to Gods Descend, and I Go on a Rampage When I See Health Bars! Why are there so many Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail novels these days? There are barely any worth reading. And there are so many stories about strange phenomena returning and eerie rules, too. They just blindly follow trends, with no originality at all. They're all the same old...

Apocalypse Novels Always Have Everyone Stockpiling Supplies. Are There Any Different Ones?

All apocalypse stories follow the trend of stockpiling supplies. Are there any that do something different? I want something similar to Apocalypse: Global Sea Levels Rise by 50 Meters.

Any Apocalypse Novels You Can Read Without Turning Off Your Brain?

Please, no more ridiculous scenes like a Tianqi beating up an 99A, a V3 firing 18 rounds per second, a mattress stopping a heavy machine gun, or a Kevlar superhero tanking a 30 mm cannon shell.

What's Going on with Tomato? The Same Few Books Keep Cycling Through the Recommendation Rankings

I'm looking for a story where the protagonist is serious about getting stronger, and the romance is either satisfying to read or nonexistent. No romantic ambiguity, no goody-two-shoes heroines, and no characters getting stupid. Why is that so hard?

Looking for Utterly Awful Novels

Looking for books similar to My Life, All Given to You. I just want to see what kinds of toxic novels are on Tomato Novel! ₍˄·͈༝·͈˄*₎◞ ̑̑
