Guys, I Have a 40°C Fever. Recommend Some Good Books Before I Die
I’m So Bored. Every Book I Read Feels Pointless
Ugh, I'm so bored. Are there any good stories left? Am I stuck in an information bubble? It feels like every book has the same plot. Please recommend something.
Classic, Engaging, No Idiotic Characters, No System, No Showing Off. Anything Else Goes
I don't want that kind of simplistic, amateurish novel.
I'm So Done With Tomato Reads 🍅. Are There No Decent Books Anymore?
I'm a New Writer. I've Just Written 80,000 Words for the First Time. Could Someone Give It a Review?
I'd like to read something similar to *The Legend of the Dragon King: Misty Clouds Defying Fate*. It's the author's first time writing a story that's over 80,000 words, and now they want to work hard toward 400,000, aiming for that kind of length. They're bored at home after just finishing their first semester of college, and their writing style...
I'm a Veteran Reader Looking for Smart Characters, Solid Logic, and Mature Writing 🙏
I'm getting more and more fed up with brainless stories that make no sense. Give us characters with some brains! I'll read any genre as long as it makes sense. 🙏
Authors, Step Right up and Recommend Your Own Books!!!!
Authors, come on in! I want to read your books!
Looking for Ensemble Casts, Not One Woman with a Harem of Men. I Want a Cast with Multiple Women and Men.
X can equal Y, anything goes. Just don't make the protagonist in an ensemble cast a male-female lead duo plus their little entourage, and don't make it a male or female lead plus their entourage. The writing should be decent.
Underrated but Incredibly Good Books
Have you read any obscure but amazing books? Click into this topic and share them with everyone!!! Print books are welcome too.
I'm So Tired of Books!! Any Great Reads That Can Surprise Me? Please Recommend Some!
Looking for books similar to The Age of Global Sailing.
High-Quality Novels You Can Stay Up Late Reading
Books With Brilliant Writing That Leave the World in Awe
Books similar to There's a Ghost Inside Me and The Confucian Immortal Who Walks Between Worlds.
Recommend Some Good Books with Basic Common Sense
No school or academy settings, school beauties, goddesses, empresses, harems, male-male pairings, saintly heroines, teams where one person drags along several deadweights, or characters who act less than human and look for someone to own them.
Which Books Have Made You Rethink Your Values?
Everyone’s welcome to join the discussion.
Looking for Something Truly Excellent. It’s Been Ages Since I Found One
I came to Tomato Novel just to read Slay the Gods. Since finishing it, I haven’t found anything else worth reading. Lately, I haven’t felt much like reading.
Book Rankings Are Just for Fun. Finding a Great Read During a Reading Drought Is What Really Matters
Any Stories with an Ordinary Heroine, Average Looks but Great Charm or Bearing?
I’m tired of stories where every female lead is gorgeous, and I’m tired of female leads from ridiculously wealthy families, too. I just want an inspiring girl’s love story. Angst is fine, too~
Any More Sophisticated Romance Novels?
No love at first sight, online romances, or lightning-fast relationships!! The writing must be good, no beginner-level amateur prose!! The protagonists need to have brains. Do not give me angsty romances!!!
The Cream of the Crop! The Cream of the Crop! The Cream of the Crop! The Best Book I’ve Found So Far
Looking for books like In My Twilight Years, a Stunning Witch Takes Me as Her Cauldron!
Underrated Historical Romance with Excellent Writing: No Transmigration, No Cheats, No Brain-Dead Characters
Any Good Books Where Every Character Is Smart, the Logic Is Sound, and the Story Flows Well?
The Cream of the Crop: Well-Written Stories Worth Rereading Again and Again
The heroine approaches the hero with an ulterior motive and doesn’t like him at first, but gradually falls for him. I want a story with a redemptive element and beautiful writing!!
Looking for Strong Female Leads Who Truly Support Other Women! No Catfights, No Stupid Female Villains
Some strong female lead stories are obsessed with throwing in clichéd rivalry between women and brainless female villains. I've had enough! Please recommend stories with genuinely woman-loving strong female leads! Romance is fine, but it mustn't take over the story!
Average-Girl Stories: If You Like Engaging Tales About Ordinary Heroines, Come On In
Looking for something like *[Plain Jane]: How Could I Possibly Like Her?!* She really is an ordinary girl, you know.

It took almost a year to write the story "Florious Dreams of Mountains and Rivers Far Away" from conception to writing. I stopped writing and deleted the manuscript repeatedly. I often felt that my writing could not keep up with my thoughts. What I wanted to express in my heart always lacked some meaning when it was put on paper. There are similarities between writing and cooking. They both bring the heat in their hearts to others through the skill of their hands. If the heat is not enough, the flavor will float; if the seasoning is overseasoned, the original flavor of the ingredients will be suppressed. I'm still groping, still trial and error, and occasionally I can bring out a dish that's still edible, and I feel a little relieved. I hesitated for a long time, fearing that my writing was not good enough, that the story would not hold up, and that readers would put it down after turning two pages. But you always have to try things to find out. Without writing, the thoughts in my mind will always be just a vague fog. So I wrote it anyway. I don't dare to say how good the writing is. I just want to do my best to make the readers stop at a certain moment and find it interesting. That's enough.
The writing has a strong sense of atmosphere. When writing about the prosperous times, there will be music and music on the terraces, and the scenery is beautiful; when writing about the troubled times, the mountains and rivers will be broken, and the eyes will be desolate. The emotional line is restrained and forbearing, and the regrets of not being able to love and misaligned fate can be seen everywhere. Emotions do not serve sweet pets, but fluctuate with the current situation and destiny. Multiple clues run parallel to the intrigues in the court, battles on the battlefield, and the entanglements of aristocratic families. The layout is broad, including the intrigues in the temple, the tragedy of bloodshed on the battlefield, and the joys and sorrows of ordinary people in troubled times.
Xizhuan, the electronic mustard must-have for daily meals
The pace is slow, but the writing is very careful.
