Are There Any Tomato Novels with a Lovecraftian Flavor? Not Fantasy with a Lovecraftian Skin
Looking for books similar to "Project Pillar".
Trying to Find a Masterpiece With a Strong Female Lead and No Romance on Tomato Novel. Hilarious, You’ll Never Find One
I'd like to read something like She Was Getting Sick of This. Can female-led, no-CP stories get any more ridiculous? Either they cram random one-sided crushes into a no-CP story, making everything ambiguous, or it's mindless wish fulfillment that assumes we have no brains. Or they can't even deliver the wish fulfillment...

This is a very good and authentic Cthulhu novel. Unlike the generic Cthulhu stories on the market that are mostly just tentacles and other nonsensical things, this novel leans more towards orthodox Cthulhu. In short, it's well worth reading for those who like fundamentalism.
This is the authentic, satisfying kind of novel! But it's not as hopeless as some might think. The author gave the protagonist a pretty strong cheat ability, so it's okay to read it as a semi-satisfying story. The female lead is also constantly growing. At the beginning, she had no will to resist at all, but by the time she saw the latest chapter, she was full of determination, haha.
I quite like the protagonist. Having seen so many legendary investigators, I've never seen a crab-leg priest with such a strong sense of humanity (laughs). The plot suddenly shifts from a despicable outsider disturbing local customs and traditions to crab-leg priests tearing each other apart, while our young and bewildered priest can only cover his head and get beaten up.
It's great! Besides being a serious Cthulhu story, it's also very interesting. The protagonist is a painter who evolves into a chosen one of the God of Art, becoming the God of Art's painting tool. The various events the protagonist experiences are his artistic creations. Currently, there's no romantic pairing or ambiguous relationships, so you can read it without worry.
It has a great sense of mystery, and the horror fades considerably after the protagonist becomes completely inhuman. Since she's no longer human, coupled with the bizarre and mysterious characters in the story, it gives me the feeling that even if the protagonist's vital signs disappear and her body perishes, she won't truly die. If she's eaten, it's just fusion.
Super good! [Sparrow's Masterpiece][Sparrow's Masterpiece] I haven't seen such a good Cthulhu story on Tomato in a long time. It's really good, and the female lead seems to be very intelligent. I'm really looking forward to the later plot developments. I feel like the author's writing has improved a lot! 💕💕
A very good Cthulhu story, it has the feel of legitimate Cthulhu literature (not recommended to read late at night 😏).
I just read the latest version. It seems pretty good, a very interesting novel. The Cthulhu theme is quite positive in the early stages, but it feels like the protagonist is fighting monsters alongside a national team in the middle. The whole plot is full of good plot twists and clever ideas, and it achieves a breakthrough in some Cthulhu-themed novels.
This is a very traditional Cthulhu-themed novel with a clear and smooth plot. The subject matter is also quite good, and it has done its best to strike a balance between traditional Cthulhu themes and the fast-paced rhythm of web novels. It seems there's no need to worry about lowering the rating; five stars is the author's true worth.
Amazingly delicious!! Such a high-quality female-led role-playing game novel is truly rare... The story also has a strong "Kung Fu" vibe, following the fantastical journey of the protagonist, Lao Lin, a little paint favored by the Lord of Art. The protagonist's cheat ability is quite powerful, making for a very enjoyable read. The romance between Lin Mo and the shadowy narcissus is also incredibly sweet! Looking forward to the next update!
