The Most Promising New Books of 2026, Guaranteed 9.9 Potential!
Looking for something similar to Heroes Contest for Supremacy in Troubled Times: Summoning Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, from the start. Historical, alternate-history, wuxia, or alternate-history wuxia. It must be a new book released in 2026. Nothing that has made the rankings, and it must be updating in real time. Sound logic, smooth plot, exciting fights,
I've Been Using Tomato for Three Years, but Lately I Really Can't Get Into Any Books
I want books that really make me sit up and take notice!!!! Help me get over my reading slump, fellow readers!
Underrated, High-Quality Reads!
I’ve read 90% of the books on the recommendation lists. I’m looking for lesser-known, high-quality stories with good writing. Male- and female-oriented novels are both fine, any genre or setting, ancient, modern, or fantasy. Short, medium-length, or long works are all fine, whether ongoing or complete.
Underrated Novels That Are Surprisingly Perfect
Recommend some underrated novels that you personally think are great. Perfect plots, prose, and logic; no dumbed-down characters and nothing frustrating. Please choose carefully.
No Female Lead! Superpowers, Sequences, High Martial Arts, Magic, Cards, Cultivation, and the Post-Apocalypse
Anything goes, as long as it's imaginative. The protagonist can travel alone or attend an academy. Spiritual qi revival, mysteries descending upon the world, I'm open to anything! Just remember, no female lead!!! No little sisters!!
Stories Focused on Gods and Deities, No CP, Abyssal Themes. Please, Great Authors, Give Me Stories Where the Protagonist Lives and Dies Alone
Please bless me with some recommendations, everyone. For no-romance stories, I want a male-oriented story with no female lead, or a female-oriented story with no male lead. The protagonist should be alone for life, with no romance. Having family is fine.
Are There Any Truly Female-Lead-Free Novels on Tomato? They’re All Flirtation, and I Don’t Want to Read That
Looking for a Savior-Type Protagonist, Preferably in an Original Story
I have an indescribable feeling about people like this: they carry a lofty mission and destiny, the kind who return humanity to its former glory.
Tired of Dark Fiction. I Want Something Positive, with a Protagonist Who Has a Strong Moral Compass
The kind of good person you never meet in real life: a living Buddha who helps everyone, gets praised by the whole world, and doesn't hide his identity. What happens when he runs into a villain? I've got people all around me who want to repay my kindness. In fantasy novels, you know the type: you mess with me, and the Heavenly Dao strikes you dead on the spot.
No Female Lead, Just One Male Protagonist. As Long as It's Good
No bleeding-heart do-gooders, and no romance
Urban Superpowers or Awakening Stories, No Mindless Protagonists
Any Protagonists Who Stay Kind and Upright in a Dark, Twisted World?
I have read too many stories about characters turning evil. Now I want protagonists who can emerge unstained from the mire and preserve their original nature amid despair and suffering.
Looking for Novels About Blacksmiths, Alchemists, Potion Makers, and Artifact Crafters
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.
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 Novels Where the Protagonist Grows Step by Step?
I’d prefer a longer main storyline, not a brainless power fantasy where the protagonist steamrolls everyone. Something like Soul Land or Battle Through the Heavens, but any genre is fine.
Male Protagonist, No CP, No Flirting!!! Pure Wish Fulfillment, and He’s Handsome!
I just want a story where the protagonist shines alone (๐•̆·̭•̆๐), soaring all the way to the top!!! Most important: feel-good power fantasy = no romance = no flirting = no lust = no saintly do-gooder protagonist... I’m guessing this book doesn’t exist ε=(´ο`*))) sigh.

At first glance, the synopsis made me think it was a shonen comedy, but after clicking in, I found it was completely different. The premise really resonated with me, and the character development in many details was excellent. The novel settings, the protagonist's personality, and the overall characterization were all superb, creating a bizarre yet beautiful feel.
Awesome! 😄 It's Green Pepper's new book! The world-building is very novel, with a slight Western fantasy or Cthulhu feel, but completely different. This is the first time I've read a novel centered around cooking 👀, and it seems quite interesting so far. I've never seen the concept of imbuing food with ethereal patterns through alchemy before; it must be the author's original creation.
A very novel theme! It's a master-disciple story, but not mindless. Both the protagonist and the master are intelligent, and it's been a long time since I've seen such a normal master-disciple relationship. I really like their way of interacting; the protagonist is eager to learn, and the master teaches diligently. The protagonist's personality is also quite good!
It's good, the premise is great, and it has a bit of a Lobotomy Corporation and Jailbus vibe. In a post-apocalyptic world, various factions each possess abilities left behind by the gods, establishing their own safe zones. The protagonist, through some coincidence, joins the "Restaurant" faction and begins cooking (presumably).
It's a great read! I started reading this book after finishing the author's previous one, and it unexpectedly suited my taste. I read the latest chapter right away. The world-building and setting are very novel to me, and the character designs are also excellent. The protagonist lives at the very bottom of society but retains kindness in his heart.
The author writes superbly, with both thrilling and tear-jerking moments. Unlike some inferior authors who use nationalistic themes as a selling point, the writing effectively conveys the struggle for survival of all humanity in the apocalypse. The descriptions of the deities also demonstrate considerable effort.
This book has a well-developed setting, somewhat similar to the culinary magic system in Apocalypse Forecast, but it also incorporates the author's own ideas. It's a newly released book, so the rating is a bit low, but it's truly a very good novel.
It's like a combination of lobotomy, apocalypse, and mystery—a really cool concept! 😋
It's great. The author's book continues the style of the previous one—elegant yet morbid, with a slightly dark worldview that suits my taste perfectly.
It's so good! (Opinion: Actually, I abandoned it for a while, but then I stumbled upon "The Song of Calamity" (that's the title, right?), Which I had finished reading a long time ago. I was just wondering if this author had any other good novels, and then I found this one I was only halfway through 😅). It feels like there's no substitute for this author's books; they have a special quality.
