Wind on the Mountaintop

Welcome to the “Don’t Be Fooled by the Title” Series

Sigh, some stories look so plain on the surface. You’ll never know how wonderful they are unless you click on them.

The Hidden Gems on Tomato: Thought-Provoking, Flaws Don't Diminish the Whole, and Excellent Writing

Looking for books like "The Story of How I Pretended to Be a Noble Young Master of the Southern Dynasties".

Books with Titles That Put You Off, but Amazing Stories

Has Tomato Switched to a New Batch of Authors? So Many New Books Have Amazing Writing!

I'd like a new book that was just completed recently. The writing just needs to be good!!!

The AI-Writing Army Is Coming: Do Ordinary Writers Still Have a Chance?

Recently, a huge wave of AI writers has flooded Fanfan. It's hard to tell whether these AI-written stories are real, and their quality is all over the place. Ordinary writers keep losing their share of the remaining traffic in this flood. What are we supposed to do?

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!

Strong, Laid-Back Heroine of Noble Status

How Many of You Have Written Novels That Nobody Reads?

Novels These Days Are Too Rushed. Hardly Anyone Takes Their Time and Writes Carefully

Don't make me look at any of Tomato's five toxic genres!

There Are No Good Women’s Fiction Novels These Days. Debate Me!

Ladies, please stop recommending books! The pandemic is over, and us busy working stiffs don't have time to read! 😭

Has Everyone Noticed That Tomato Has Added So Many New Books? The Quality Is Really OK 👀

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!

New Writers, Come On In

It's so upsetting to keep seeing the stats barely change. The reader count doesn't go up at all, and there isn't a single comment. Hardly anyone reads the whole book, and by the last chapter, almost no one is still reading. New authors, let's support one another.

Are There Any Authors Who Seriously and Responsibly Finish Their Stories? I Don't Care If They're Good or Bad!

How Long Does It Take for a New Writer to Make It? I’ve Been Writing for 54 Days

54 days. I finished my first book on day 45: 320,000 words, writing for 8–12 hours a day. I’m now planning my second book, but nobody’s reading the first one anymore. Is it really that bad? Am I just someone with no talent? (sobbing)
