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.
Any Purely Historical Stories With Two Male Leads? No Transmigration or Rebirth
I Want Truly Satisfying Stories. I Can’t Stand Even a Little Frustration
I want books similar to As a College Freshman Intern, You Ran Off to 749 to Contain Monsters (Don't Offend the Grand Duke Jupiter).
Two Male Leads! Forced Relationship!
I want an intense male-male romance with smart characters! I've run out of things to read lately, so I hope you can recommend a few. No angst or melodrama, please; my little heart can't take it.
Infinite-Flow Stories with a Growing Protagonist. I'm Tired of So Many Where They're Overpowered from the Start.
Any gender is fine.
Power Trips!!!!!
I've been really worked up lately. I want a feel-good power fantasy so satisfying it clears my blocked arteries.
A Possessive, Obsessive Male Lead Who's Yandere from Start to Finish
I want a genuinely yandere male lead who locks the female lead up and remains possessive to the end, never understanding how to love someone.
Looking for an Aloof, Untouchable Male Lead Who Gets Knocked Off His Pedestal: An Ascetic Heartthrob
I want a male lead who's a cool, aloof heartthrob, maybe a movie star or a god, and a female lead who's a little flirt. She brings him down from his pedestal. The colder he seems at first, the clingier he gets later. A dark, restrained personality would be even better!!
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.
Feel-Good Power Fantasies!!!
Whenever I search for feel-good stories on Tomato Novel, all I get are frustrating ones. Can a site as big as Tomato Novel really not have a single satisfying story? It doesn't have to be over-the-top, just not frustrating! A female lead would be best. To be clear: no mistaken identity, no hiding his abilities, and no contrived schemes.
Looking for High-IQ Political Intrigue
Both the male and female leads are intelligent and strategic, while the supporting characters are loyal and warmhearted.
Two Male Leads!!!
So sweet (ღˇ◡ˇღ)
Looking for a Rags-to-Riches Comeback Story with a Smart Protagonist
Are there any stories without a golden finger, where the protagonist relies on their own wits and abilities to gradually reach the top? Ideally, something that really makes you think. Novels these days are too brainless.

It's okay. The writing is not bad, and the plot direction is attractive. However, the logic is a bit loopy. The author had better make a patch or reorganize the outline. For example, the protagonist was a surgeon in the previous life, and he went to the operating table. The formula of Jinshangyao Zhixue Powder is clearly stated in the article. However, it is difficult to convince people about the doctor's pulse diagnosis for the wife of an official. It can be patched. The protagonist was a surgeon in the previous life, studying traditional Chinese medicine, and an expert in integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine. There are many such examples in reality. I quite like the character of the protagonist. He is very cool and cool.
It's okay, I hope it will be. It is very painful for modern souls to enter the ancient world. The protagonist has worked hard to balance this painful relationship before being forced, and uses his own strength to do what he can do.
I saw it accidentally and skipped through several exciting chapters. It was pretty good. Now I have to read it in order. I usually read the table of contents first and then read it if it is interesting. However, the pace may be a bit slow, the male protagonist appears a little late, and the emotional entanglement progresses very slowly. I'll add a book review after I finish reading it
Oh my god, brothers, it's really super, super good-looking. I really like Yu'an's character. It's such a blessing 😘. The only drawback is that it's not finished 🙂
The writing is not bad, both career and emotional lines are included. The character of the protagonist is very good, which is the tone I like. Shou is cold and cold, and the relationship between Shou and Mengmeng is well described. Shou is gentle and [full] and the progress of the relationship between the protagonists is also well written. The author is so cute, the author is so cute! Cute bunny, so cute, so cute 😘 So this is he [what] 🧐
Overall, it's pretty good, eh [sending my heart]. There are probably a lot of career lines in the early stage, and there are a lot of repetitions in some small areas. For example, a few taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably for two years 🤔. Overall it's pretty good 😘
It's very cool 🥰 But author, can we torture Xiao for a little longer? I feel so uncomfortable when I see him now. I think he doesn't deserve it. He should be tortured. He deserves it.
So beautiful (♥∀♥) I give you a good review (o^^o) [Send my heart][Send my heart]
Nice!!! But when I look at the label, it says quick wear 🧐🧐🧐
This is a compulsory love product!!! Lei Bujie enters with caution, but I, the Shuangjie Party, can accept it.
