Who Actually Dug Up the Gold?
I'm too lazy to hunt for gold anymore. I don't want to work hard. Someone come save me.
A Charismatic, Smart Protagonist, Please: No Pathetic, Desperate Stalker Types
Are There No Male-Oriented Novels with Great Brotherhood, Plenty of Scenes, Little Filler, and No Idiotic Characters?
I don't want formulaic infinite-flow stories, or anything too pretentious or drawn-out. Ideally, the protagonist should have a tight deadline to contend with. Any genre is fine.
Stories Where the Protagonist Has Incredible Presence and Looks Cool Every Time He Appears, Like the Villain
The protagonist should have a powerful aura and leave a strong impression every time they appear. The kind of character whose name makes NPCs steer clear. Preferably no romance, and they should be completely, utterly crazy, like Chen Lian.
Looking for a Mad Protagonist Who Has Etiquette Etched into Their Bones but Is Also Completely Unhinged
Looking for books similar to "As Long as I’m Twisted Enough, I Can Be Invincible!" Something with a beginning very much like this book’s.
Looking for Stories With a Protagonist on the Supernatural Side, Told From the Supernatural's Perspective
Looking for books like "Eerie Little Town: From the Start, I Become a Plague Doctor". Something along these lines.
Looking for a Male Lead with a Best Friend, Strong Brotherhood, and No Romance
Recommend me something a little different. Thanks, babes!
Looking for Male-Oriented Novels with Natural Brotherhood, a Competent Male Lead, and No Female Lead
Looking for books like I'm a Total Newbie, So Why Isn't This Game Getting Harder? (No Player Response). Something with a fun ship to root for. The male lead should be smart and brave, with goals of his own and a buddy who helps him. Most importantly, I want a good plot, with just a little CP on the side.
Please, I Want a Protagonist Who’s a Chaotic-Neutral Troublemaker, the Smarter the Better
The Protagonist Is Kept by an Evil God. No Goody-Two-Shoes, Preferably Someone Who Only Cares About Themself and the Evil God
Looking for books like "The Evil God Decides to Raise a Human". The protagonist shouldn't be too constrained, either.
Looking for Charismatic Madmen Like Illusionists, Clowns, and Con Artists
Dark Vibes, Male Protagonist, Everyone’s Favorite, No Official Couple, Ship Whoever You Want
Looking for books similar to Absolute Control: The Villain Must Be the Epitome of Elegance.
The Protagonist Must Be a Performer of Traditional Chinese Opera. Don’t Recommend It Otherwise. Even Better If They Perform Ghost Opera
The Protagonist Has Bizarre, Twisted Powers: Just One Look Makes Your Sanity Plummet
Please give me some recommendations. I have nothing left to read. My main account is gone, and after five years of reading novels, I have already read most of the good ones on Tomato. This is an epic reading drought.
Ghosts Are Resurfacing, and the Protagonist Is on Their Side
I'm lazy. I don't want to say anything.
Why Hasn’t Anyone Written a Chinese-Style Succubus Yet?
What a great premise! Why is nobody writing this on Fanqie?
Despair, Utter Despair! The Protagonist Joins the Dark Side in the End
Please Recommend Stories Where the Protagonist Isn't Human but Pretends to Be in the Human World
I'm looking for books similar to Playing the Player Today. Please recommend stories where the protagonist isn't human but disguises themself in the human world. The protagonist should be cold-blooded.
A Cute Little Boy, Something Fresh! Give Me a Fresh, Adorable Little Boy!
Looking for Books with Stunningly Beautiful Men Who Have a Seductive, Shameless Edge
No Female Lead, No Romantic Tension, Few Female Side Characters. Don't Make Random Recommendations, I Really Will Tear Into You
Don't recommend books carelessly! Don't recommend books carelessly!!! Remember: no heroine, no romantic tension, and no female side characters constantly hanging around the protagonist. Damn it, if I see another careless recommendation, I'll tear into you.
The Protagonist Is a Native of a Horror World
Looking for books similar to "Being an NPC in a Horror World". The protagonist should have originally lived in a horror world, so things that count as game instances to players are just part of the protagonist's everyday life, such as schools, hospitals, and buses.
Infinite-Flow Horror, Highly Intelligent Characters, No Romance, No Frills, Pure Horror Only
It's so hard to find a pure horror infinite-flow novel these days. I don't want some big shot showing up with all kinds of flashy nonsense. I just want a straight-up horror infinite-flow story with a protagonist who actually has some brains, like the one where the horror game starts with a baby or something. Are there any more like that?
Looking for a Dark-Hearted Protagonist Who's Pure Evil, With No Romance
Looking for books similar to I Created the Monster Sequence! No timid, hesitant behavior in the early chapters or in a past life! No groveling! Ideally, the protagonist is rotten to the core from the very beginning.

Well, the premise is really captivating; this kind of Chinese-style eerie horror suits my taste, and the protagonist even more so. I really love him. The story is quite unpredictable; some plot points are truly unexpected and bizarre, like something a normal person wouldn't think of. The writing is good, though the beginning was a bit confusing.
We can save this sickly little boy! The vengeful spirit's presence is incredibly well-written. This guy who hurts himself as much as he hurts his enemy is so entertaining! Let's create a huge group of entertainers without any self-interest! Wow, that's awesome! And wow, it's so smug! Is writing serious novels just a side job?
I don't know, the book recommendation said the protagonist is a cute little porcelain doll, so I came here. Chuiying is really adorable, like a cat watching a show. The heterochromatic eyes and long hair are also cute. Although every time he laughs, I have to hallucinate a miniature version of Chabuchamaru.
It's so beautiful, so very beautiful, it evokes a sense of eerie beauty: Fine grass and empty woods, a wisp of cold rain carried by the wind. A thin, lonely soul, seeking companionship. In the desolate underworld, tonight it calls out to its master. In the hazy distance, a sliver of ghostly light reveals a peach-blossom face.
No romantic pairing. I didn't expect there to be a tomb raiding segment; I'm looking forward to tomb raiding in the snowy mountains. I'm trying to nurture this young work; "The Mysterious Bone Chronicles" died before it even began (crying). The protagonist is the porcelain doll type—he'd go crazy if he accidentally broke himself, harming others without any benefit to himself.
Please forgive me for reviewing this novel after only reading one chapter, but the language style of the very first chapter gave me a wonderful experience. Perhaps it's because I don't often read folklore-themed novels, but the vocabulary and sentence structure, so distinctly rooted in the era and region, vaguely evoked memories. Each time, I was captivated.
It's a very good read. The author's writing style is quite unconventional, and the plot is relatively well-organized. However, if you don't pay close attention and miss some parts, it's easy to lose track of what's going on. Anyway, it's quite enjoyable.
It's a good read, with a Chinese-style grotesque feel. I personally prefer the main character, Chuiying, she's adorable and perfectly matches my taste. I also have a bit of a ship between Xiling and Chuiying (can I even say this?). It's quirky and has a very ornate writing style, but it doesn't feel verbose. The author is awesome!
This is the most outrageous thing I've ever seen, it's absolutely insane. Indescribable. I don't know what to say, so I'll just give the porcelain doll a thumbs up and hope it continues.
Please give me a book review, don't leave me playing alone. Heavens, will 500,000 words even get me a rating?
