Does Anyone Still Remember Tomato’s Peak-Era Masterpiece, The Hidden Gem?
If you don't like it, just scroll past. This book means a lot to me. It took away the youth I've left behind.
Tomato's Number One Apocalypse Novel!!!!
Looking for something like Everyone Else Is Fighting to Survive the Apocalypse, While You're Having Hot Pot and Potato Chips? I've read System stories, infrastructure building, stockpiling, RVs, mutated plants and animals, special abilities, and reborn stories. I'm seriously out of books to read!!!!!! Please recommend apocalypse stories with no romance.

Any Good Science Fiction Novels?
I want something imaginative but logically sound. No transmigration.
Scientific Research With No Scheming or Face-Slapping
A highly intelligent but socially clueless protagonist would work too. Their achievements don’t necessarily have to become known to the public, but they should be based on established knowledge, not made up out of nowhere.

Any Novels About a Tech Explosion, Unlimited Energy, and a Huge Leap in Productivity?
I'm begging for novels like this: after humanity gains an unlimited energy supply, every kind of technology and resource is available in unlimited quantities, and society, technology, and daily life all advance at breakneck speed.
Sci-Fi, Megastructures, Galactic Empires, War, and Artificial Intelligence

It can be workplace scheming or a suspenseful escape, but it must feature exceptionally high intelligence or cunning human nature.
A Vast World, Interstellar Travel, and Exploring the Universe: Above All, Make It Truly Epic
I Don't Believe Tomato Has Any Masterpieces with Deep Ideas, Epic Scope, and a Grand, Sweeping Feel
I still haven't found a novel like this.
Hard Sci-Fi, Interstellar Travel or Drifting, and Alien Civilizations
I don't like stories that are constantly at war, fighting from beginning to end, from the Solar System all the way to the Milky Way. I prefer nuanced portrayals of alien societies and storylines, as if observing another civilization.
Purely Academic Stories About Geniuses, Like The Academic Prodigy’s Black Tech System
The protagonist gets a black-tech System, then studies hard and contributes to the country. No nouveau-riche wish fulfillment.
Hard Sci-Fi with Rigorous Scientific Logic! Harder Than The Three-Body Problem!
Looking for books like Quantum Fossils. Sci-fi, not fantasy! Make it realistic!
Sci-Fi, Sci-Fi, and More Damn Sci-Fi
Looking for books similar to *The Sun Is Dying, and I’m Forced to Start a Spacefaring Civilization*. It must be hard sci-fi. No other genres, no mindless stories, no fantasy dressed up as sci-fi, no technology handed out by a System, and no wish-fulfillment stories.
The Stars! Hard Sci-Fi! Humanity's Journey Across the Sea of Stars!
Earth gradually advances from a fledgling civilization toward the vast cosmos...
Reborn to Reform the Country and Develop Technology and Industry: Keep It Real, No Sci-Fi or System
A little of a golden finger is fine, like a space that's not too prominent. Ideally, the story should be complete!

As a scientific research dog, I have almost given up on science fiction. Everything about time travel and rebirth system powers is too confusing, complicated and nonsense. Fortunately, I finally found this book to cleanse my brain. From the details of Wen Tao's judgment of soil and plant lesions in the field, to the specific detection procedures in the laboratory, which can't be explained with just "scanning with high-tech instruments", to the discussion of chiral molecules and gene signaling pathways when cracking the mirror virus, these details are very rigorous. Moreover, the author does not show off terminology, but allows professional knowledge to naturally serve the plot. It is precisely because of these solid details that when a crisis strikes and the protagonist group relies on this professional knowledge to break the situation, the sense of accomplishment is convincing. Science is present throughout without insulting intelligence. That's how it should be. Where do all the cheats, systems, abilities and all this mess come from? Only when you use real new technology to solve problems can you be called awesome! This is the hard science fiction I want to see! And Locke, it's rare to see such a deep villain in online stories. Locke is not a madman, he even has a bit of love, but his love is a bit cruel to most people. The several confrontations between him and Wen Tao are the most exciting in the book. This kind of ideological duel is inexplicably refreshing to watch. I give the author ten stars! [Like][Like]
Give it 4 stars. The suspense, plot, and details are all very well written, but it is a bit too deliberate. It deliberately weakens the country's military force and starts to commit genocide. The opponent has already turned the table over, and it is unlikely that the country is still playing cards at the card table.
It's a good book in every sense of the word Both the spiritual core and the professionalism of the writing style are considered to be the top of modern online literature. This book is not just a show of character creation, nor a simple accumulation of rhetoric, but based on true feelings, using my own professional standards and writing style to create a real fictional history, and analyzing the spiritual core that I want to express. I hope the author will not give up writing, because there are still people who are happy about it anymore
There are very few biopunk articles, so I was really surprised to find one like this on Tomato. The author really has his own ideas about cutting-edge concepts such as genetic weapons and ecological warfare, and he also deeply thinks about the enduring topic of "human genetic enhancement". Well written, I really want to see how the plot develops next.
This book is close to reality and focuses on small characters. It is neither boring nor nonsense. What is even more commendable is that the author describes the people as tough, simple, yet extremely great. Just like what we have experienced together, both leaders and ordinary people are working together to overcome difficulties. The scientific details are also very rigorous, the character portrayal is also very detailed, and the narrative structure is relatively grand. I personally think it is the best science fiction work I have seen on Tomato after "The Three-Body Series" and "The Unresponsive Earth". Keep up the good work, author! Long live the people!
Overall, it is a very good novel, much higher than the current Tomato score. Especially the first 50 chapters, which mainly focus on the storyline of food production reduction, are considered very good science fiction novels. But in the middle of the 50th to 100th chapter, I feel that it would be better to have more protagonists. After all, lines are separated like mountains (I won't go into details to avoid spoilers), and I feel that the supporting characters are a bit short, but it is understandable that it is difficult to write with too many characters. In the later period, the author may have realized some of the problems and started to add supporting characters. The time span of the overall story events is not obvious. Personally, I feel that it happened within three or four months (but the specific time span should not be that short). The protagonist's growth rate is a bit fast and there is a lack of filling in details (maybe related to the fact that the time span in the middle and later stages is not obvious) The later author's thoughts on ethics and the reversal of the story are still very good and worth reading. Although this book has a few minor flaws, overall the flaws are not hidden and it is much higher than it is now 🍅 Looking forward to the author's new books
Yes, it was written by a human being. Although the protagonist is often indecisive and very angry, he vividly demonstrates why as the old saying goes, it takes ten years for a scholar to rebel...
The line drawings of popular novels and the romance of science fiction novels, the persistence of template characters and the complexity of real characters, the simplicity of truth, the distinction between right and wrong, turning contradictions into sharpness, and suppressing violence with justice. This is the courage to criticize reality, this is an epic praising heroes, and this is the wisdom born out of the collective. Don't delete, don't take it off the shelves, don't rewrite, don't give up The lost lighthouse of Wenshan, the elegance of chewing slowly, the spirit of climbing high and looking far away, the essence of literary and military strategies. Real culture is not fast food and scraps
A rare good novel, with excellent professional knowledge, slow-burning style, more comfortable than fast-paced reading. I like [Admiration]
The most subtle thing about the concept of "screening humans" is that it is not a pure fantasy, but a sharp prediction of the current technological craze. When Silicon Valley elites began to use embryonic genetic screening technology (PGT-P) to "optimize" offspring in an attempt to "customize" "super babies" with high IQ and no disease, a micro-level "human screening" has already begun. This is no longer a distant future guess, but a social reality close at hand. The torture it raises is shocking: when wealth can buy genetic superiority, when life is labeled with "attribute cards" from the beginning of fertilization, are we creating a better future, or are we personally forging an insurmountable "caste system" determined by genes? Behind this lies a deep concern about the fundamental proposition of "what it means to be human". However, the core of truly great hard science fiction works is not the cold technical settings, but the persistent exploration and defense of the glory of human nature under the absolutely rational "screening" logic. Therefore, "screening humans" is one of the most intense and profound themes in hard science fiction. It is like a prism that reflects the complex spectrum of science, ethics, society and philosophy, forcing us to face our deepest fears and hopes while looking up to the future.
