A Collection of Ideals

Novels That Leave You Completely Stunned After Reading, the Kind You Read Over and Over Again

Any genre is fine, whether it's aimed at male or female readers.

Any Protagonists Who Stay Kind and Upright in a Dark, Twisted World?

I have read too many stories about characters turning evil. Now I want protagonists who can emerge unstained from the mire and preserve their original nature amid despair and suffering.

Why Are You Still Writing When Your Book Is Flopping?

Looking for a book like I Transmigrated into a Book with My Cat and Went on a Rampage, While My Cat Went on a Rampage Too. My book is doing so badly that I've completely lost the motivation to update, even though the completion rate was really high early on! A struggling little author's daily heartbreak. Let's help each other out and share what puts readers off.

New Books Only! The More Underrated, the Better!

Any new book will do. I’m open to anything, especially books that haven’t gotten much attention. It’s hard being a new author, so let’s not leave them writing to an empty room, okay?

Bring on Some Fresh New Premises. Don't Make Me Start Writing and Make You All Blush 🥵

Any recommendations for novels that'll really make me sit up and take notice? No brainless stories (🚨 Beware, red light warning from me ^_^). Am I allowed to say that?! Please recommend some gems worth reading two, three, four, five, six... times. I'm so, so, so, so, so desperate for something to read that I'm going crazy!

Looking for Books with a Lawful Good, Righteous Protagonist: No Conspiracy Theories or Showing Off and Face-Slapping

I've read too many cookie-cutter plots. I want something sunny, healthy, and uplifting. No deep-dive analysis, just give the kids a little hope, please!

Any New Books? Anything Between 10,000 and 200,000 Words!

New authors, feel free to showcase your books here. Any genre is welcome.

Heroic Protagonists Who Put the Greater Good First and Have Strong Moral Principles

I've read too many dark stories. Now I'd rather read about upright, noble protagonists, like the heroes of wuxia novels who dare to take the lead in saving the world from danger.

Nurturing Promising New Books, No Older Books Please

No old books, please. I want to see which new books have potential! Anything the poster has liked or commented on has potential. Give them a try!

Looking for Books by Authors Who've Lost Their Traffic and Can't Keep Writing, and Are About to Quit

Looking for a book like "I Came from the Wasteland". Any kind of book is fine. I don’t want to miss any gems that had to stop because they weren’t getting enough readers.

Looking for an Underrated Masterpiece That Isn't on Any Rankings. I Don't Care About the Score, Just Make Sure It's Good

I Just Can't Get Through the Books on the Charts!

Come on, share your hidden gems! I can't take it anymore, there's nothing to read. I'm currently following nine ongoing books at once!

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.

Looking for a Kindhearted Protagonist Who Helps the Suffering

I want something with a strong sense of purpose, preferably with no romance. The characters should be kind, thoughtful, and driven by a desire for revenge. They should dare to speak, act, and dream, and not waste time on empty gestures. Any gender is fine. It could be about love of country, another nation, the world, or liberation. Give me something good.

So Sad 😭 Are There Really No More Masterpieces on Tomato Novel?

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.)

Devoting One's Life to the Liberation of Humanity

I want to read a book like "The Time I Fight Guerrilla in Another World". I'm looking for a book that has strict logic and can reflect the strength of the collective. It would be even better if there are small characters breaking out in desperate situations ヾ(^▽^*)))

Any Books with a Truly Righteous Protagonist? Upright Values, Upright Actions, the Real Deal

The Most Promising New Books of 2026, Guaranteed 9.9 Potential!

Looking for something similar to Heroes Contest for Supremacy in Troubled Times: Summoning Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, from the start. Historical, alternate-history, wuxia, or alternate-history wuxia. It must be a new book released in 2026. Nothing that has made the rankings, and it must be updating in real time. Sound logic, smooth plot, exciting fights,

Protagonists with Unshakable Faith, Strong Will, and a Sense of Justice

The protagonist should have strong faith and conviction, and stand up for what's right. The supporting cast and villains shouldn't be idiots. I'm tired of cookie-cutter, mindless wish-fulfillment stories. I want something that fills you with faith and spirit, a true source of spiritual nourishment.

Recommend Books with Principled Protagonists. A Little Too Compassionate Is Fine

Modern novels always go out of their way to avoid making the protagonist a saint, preferring to portray them as petty or villainous. I want to read about a protagonist who is chivalrous and courageous, clearly distinguishes good from evil, understands right from wrong, and helps others within their means.

Masterpieces That Left You Stunned

Life, the world, beauty

Ensemble-Cast Novels Where Every Story Is Interesting

Any genre is fine, with or without CP, but it has to have an ensemble cast and lots of stories. Nothing that's just mindless wish fulfillment.
