Draw Your Sword with Style, Run for Your Life Fast

New Authors (Warning! Don't Recommend Works by Big Names.)

I want to discover authors who haven’t received much attention.

Any Pure Martial Arts Stories? No Ascending to Immortality at the Drop of a Hat, I’m Tired of That

Looking for Ensemble Cast or Team Stories, with Fully Realized Characters, Not Disposable Pawns

I have a soft spot for supporting characters. They shine just as brightly as the protagonists. Full of life, with winding stories of their own, they live as the main characters of their own destinies, not as footnotes in someone else's. I'll always cheer for ensemble casts.

Ensemble Cast, Ensemble Cast, Ensemble Cast! A Whole Team! Multiple Protagonists!

Looking for books similar to "Interstellar Academy: The Five-Person Team Charges Ahead". Multiple protagonists form a team, work well together, and are strong. No stories where they’re constantly misunderstanding each other. I want a team built on trust. The more recommendations, the better!!

Ensemble Casts! Ensemble Casts! Ensemble Casts! Ensemble Casts! Ensemble Casts!

An ensemble cast, immortal cultivation, lots of bickering, and spirited young heroes! Something like Ye Linglong!

Ensemble Casts with Friendships as Passionate and Powerful as Romance

Looking for stories like My Junior Sister Is Obviously Super Strong, Yet Ridiculously Goofy. I want the sect members to get together at competitions, bicker over little things in their daily lives, but stand united when it really matters. They skip class together, cultivate together, and get punished together. No white-lotus female rivals, please.

Any Pure Wuxia Novels?

Any good martial arts stories? People hardly write wuxia these days. I miss it. Nowadays, everyone gets a System and cheats their way to immortality and godhood, with divine physiques and all that. I'm sick of it. It's so boring. I want to feel the thrill of roaming the world with a sword and settling scores with a sense of justice.

Ensemble Casts Are Always Vivid and Stirring: Looking for an Ensemble Novel with a Fresh Premise

The Jianghu, Wuxia, and the Imperial Court

Looking for books similar to "The Whole World Is Against Me? So What?". The martial world is like a jug of fine wine: everyone has a different flavor.

If You Can't Write an Ensemble Cast, It Just Feels Like Everyone Is Fawning over the Protagonist. Keep That Away from Me

Looking for books like Ordinary Student at a Military Academy, But I Beat Up Superpowered Big Shots.

Classic Wuxia Novels

The martial world, tender romance, light-footed martial arts, suspense, and... swords!

Stories About Swordswomen Roaming the Martial World

Any suggestions? I'm out of books to read and suddenly want something about wandering the martial world. Cultivation is fine too. Male- or female-oriented, either works, as long as it's really satisfying to read. 😝

Wuxia, the Imperial Court, and the Jianghu. Get It?

Martial arts and the jianghu.

Ensemble Stories About Young People: Passion, Jianghu, Great Writing, and a Satisfying Ending

Looking for books like "Dashing Youth".

The Best Jianghu Novels on Tomato Novel

I once dreamed of roaming the world with a sword, but had to put the plan on hold because I was broke. What are your all-time favorite jianghu novels, guys? I'll start: here are the five best jianghu novels on Tomato, in my opinion.

A Revolutionary Wuxia Novel

I’ve finished "The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade" and "Luring Her into Seclusion" and have run out of things to read. Recommend more novels about young men and women venturing through the martial world.

In the End, a Young Man Fell in Love, and With One Man and One Sword, Slaughtered the World

I'm rather picky. I want something more exciting and passionate. Please, please, please!

Only Single-Female-Lead Stories, No Harem

Only one heroine, only one heroine, only one heroine. I'm saying it three times because it's important. No romantic ambiguity; I want a committed relationship. I'm so sick of harem stories these days.

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!!!

A Passionate Ensemble Cast of Young People, Like Ailing Branches, Spring Once More

Looking for books like Spring Returns to the Diseased Tree's Branches. “The gathering of heroes that year produced seven first-place finishers.” “Beyond the sunken ship, a thousand sails pass; before the diseased tree, ten thousand trees bloom.” “The gods fell, all things lived, and he alone died.” “The Changli Sword: people are always leaving.” “Senior Brother, it's dawn...”

Any Stories Where the Protagonist Is Unfairly Handsome, Starts Off Overpowered, and Is Emotionally Detached?

Traditional Wuxia Adventures

Who Understands the Feeling of “I’d Buy Osmanthus Blossoms and Share a Drink, but It’s Never Like Those Carefree Days of Youth” in a Novel?

I want content similar to The Sick Tree Branch Meets Spring Again. Who understands how much weight the poem “I wanted to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine on the road, but it was never like those carefree days of youth” carries in the novel?

Those Overlooked Masterpieces

Looking for books like First-Rate! (First-Rate). Good books shouldn't be buried!
