A Letter of Love, Undelivered

Please Recommend Stories That Show the Dark Side of Human Nature

The character should ideally be a “round” character, meaning they should have many different sides and not be one-dimensional.

If It Doesn't Catch On, I'll Keep Promoting It. This Great Story Deserves Better!

Looking for stories like "Zhou Tiancheng and His Five Colorful Girlfriends". Carefully crafted by the author and close to real life, it lays bare the ugliness and greed of human nature and reflects the chaos of society.

High Quality Only! No Beginner-Friendly Fluff

Seeking High-Quality Historical Romance, No Transmigration, Rebirth, or System

I like food, palace intrigue, the imperial examinations, political schemes, and crime-solving. On Tomato, I’ve read The Strongest Female Grand Secretary Rises Against the Odds; for palace intrigue, Zhaohua Weiyang, Palace Willows, and Deep Palace Strategy: The Tale of Qingzhi; for food, Chang’an Snack Shop (I can’t remember if it was on Tomato).

No Power Fantasies or Mindless Stories: Something Substantial and Not Cringey

After reading a few books that really make you think, I can't get into brainless stories anymore. It's frustrating. (No heroine, or just one heroine, but don't demean women, or I really can't stand it.)

Recommend a Book That Hooks You at First Sight. Everything I've Read Lately Has Been Boring

I’m Doomed. I’ve Read Too Many Books, Lost My Sense of Novelty, and Abandoned Them All on My Bookshelf

Most of the books on my bookshelf are good. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to keep reading them. Feel free to stop by and pick out a few; they’re all pretty interesting. I drop the ones I don’t enjoy partway through.
