I’m Really Curious Why New Authors’ Stories Don’t Get Popular

Looking for stories similar to The Hidden Immortal Venerable: Bringing a Cat and a Pocket Dimension to Blow Up Another World. This topic comes from a frustrated author who's been working hard to update and promote their book, but still hasn't seen any improvement in its stats or earned a single cent. So I'd like to ask everyone for advice.

After Reading Novels for Seven Years, I Can't Get Into Anything, So I'm Looking for Something Fresh and Different

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.

In a Reading Slump: Looking for a Truly Fresh and Exciting Read

Everyone can recommend just one personal top pick. Please don't suggest books with inflated ratings. I've read most of the famous ones, so I'm looking for something fresh.

New Writers Are Getting Better and Better

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.

Are There Any Books About Collectivism? So Many Seem to Focus on the Lone Hero

I have a hard time getting into stories about individual heroism. Some of them don't really align with my values, so I wanted to ask if anyone knows any good stories focused on collectivism and putting the greater good first.

In a Reading Slump, Looking for Masterpieces That’ll Blow My Mind

I'm looking for stories like "I've Been Possessed for 90,000 Years". Nothing brainless or dumbed down; fresh ideas, any genre, exciting, funny, scheming, or imaginative, all welcome.

Any Bizarre, Outlandish Novels!!!

The more bizarre, the better. Yeah, I'd like something abstract too, but mainly I want weird stories. I don't care what genre, as long as it's bizarre.

I've Become Immune to Tomato Reads. Nothing Interests Me Anymore. I'm in a Serious Reading Slump

I don’t like quick transmigration, except for Su Lvxia.

Are There Really No High-Quality Women’s Fiction Books Anymore?

Looking for books similar to "Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty of a Villainous Cannon Fodder". I’m so frustrated. Some quick-transmigration authors really don’t understand what quick transmigration means, and drag a single arc out for a hundred chapters. I hope someone can recommend some fast-paced, high-quality stories with no romance. No number one...

Only New Books: Works by Newbie Authors

Writing as a newcomer isn't easy. Please recommend other newcomers to me. I'll read their stories carefully and leave comments. I respect every newcomer who puts in the effort, because I'm a newcomer too. Let's help each other out!

The Shortest Books on Tomato Novel

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!

It’s 2026, Are There Any Fresh Female-Audience Novels? Extremely Female-Lead-Centric

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?

New Writers, Come On In

Do nobody read books by new authors?

Any Books by New Authors? Let's Review Each Other's Books, Give Five Stars, and Add Them to Our Shelves

Looking for books like "The Cannon Fodder Characters' Beloved Little Princess". Something like "The Fool's Reversal" or with a cover like Yuan Dazhuang's. They're so cute.

I’m Out of Books to Read. Recommend Something Original; I’m Tired of All the Formulaic Stories

Looking for something like The Boss Is Insanely Cunning, and So Is My System. An original premise, a protagonist who isn't an idiot, and no major deal-breakers. The kind you can stay up all night reading.

Is Women’s Fiction in Decline? Looking for Fresh, Original Stories. No BL

Back when I was editing, there was no such thing as romances between two men or two women. Well, maybe there were, but they hadn't taken off yet.
