   The first book is about a master who sees his disciple being imprisoned and abused in the mortal realm and goes down to rescue him. The disciple falls deeply in love with his master, but unfortunately, the master is a blockhead. The second book is about a master whose inner demon is actually his junior disciple, but the comments section calls him the senior brother and says the junior disciple is a vicious cannon fodder, but the master doesn't care about him at all. The third book is exactly what I like: an older man/younger woman relationship, a master and his master, pure love and heartwarming daily life. The fourth book is simply divine: two lifetimes of deep love, mutual devotion, the time travel at the beginning is all foreshadowing, pure local, and the master's true form is a snow fox, very cute, who fascinates the disciple, but the past life parts in the middle are a bit heartbreaking.

    I especially love books 2, 4, 5, and 6, because I've completely finished them all. I particularly love book 6. It's been quite a while since I finished it. At first, the protagonist (shou) thought the other protagonist (gong) was weak and pitiful, bullied by his other disciples and forced into a relationship. But actually, the master (gong) is a completely cunning and ruthless character. I especially love this story about a shou; the protagonist's personality is so charming. His synopsis is incredibly simple, but the content is absolutely divine! It's so good! Although its rating isn't high, it's mainly because not many people have read it, which lowers the score. The second book has strong logic, with many foreshadowing elements that flow very well. I especially love the protagonist (uke). The seme (dominant partner) is very doting on the uke, but he's very careful with the degree of doting, because he mainly wants the uke to grow and protect himself, not just become dependent on him. It's a coming-of-age story, quite enjoyable. The content, plot, and romance are very well integrated, roughly equal in length. I'd recommend the fifth book over the fourth, as I read it first and have a better impression of it. Both of these books feature characters with very dark and cunning personalities—clearly dark, not pretending to be good people on the surface, just incredibly powerful. They have a somewhat eccentric feel, but I found them very enjoyable. They're quite normal; if you want to read the original, check out the synopsis. I feel the content is even better than the synopsis. It's hard to describe, but it's definitely very good. I haven't finished reading the first and third books yet; I've only read the summaries and the first chapter. I'll finish them and then come back to read the rest. The summaries seem pretty good. I always read the reviews before reading a book, and I don't usually bookmark those with a lot of bad reviews, poor quality, or bad endings. The main thing is that the stories I've read all have quite novel settings; they don't have those clichéd plots, abnormal or strange things. The authors' ideas seem very normal, and their writing is very good, but some of their stories just don't become popular, I don't know why. I feel like several of the recommended books are top-tier works. Anyway, if you like a book, just click on the summary and read it yourself. My description isn't very clear; it's just based on my feeling. Reading the summary isn't enough; I think you also need to read the reviews, because that's how you know if a book is good or bad. Even if the summary and rating are okay, if you read it yourself and feel it's rubbish, I pay attention to other readers' reviews so I can comprehensively analyze whether a book is good or bad. According to some people's reviews, it can really be a barrier, so when I first started reading on Tomato, I always stumbled upon bad stories. They were full of clichéd plots, illogical, and chaotic writing, and I often read stories with terrible endings, which left me with mixed feelings. So, I learned these tips to avoid reading bad stories and find those terrible ones.

    Follow Linlan, and you won't get lost when you're looking for something to read! \\\٩( 'ω' )و /// Here are some recommendations for older/younger male protagonists in the "Master" genre: Books 1, 3, and 4: These are all transmigration/ (tu cao, meaning sarcastic or critical) type of "Master," with super exciting elements like disciple raising, the protagonist's darkening in a dark room, and the forced gong (gong) element! I just love this kind of thing (wiping away tears). Book 2: I also love the reborn revenge master, even though his previous life was miserable (whispering to avoid spoilers). The author's writing is excellent, and there are lots of caricatures~ The disciple really appeals to my taste 🥹🥹 Of course, the author has kindly included warnings in the synopsis~ Book 5: Highly recommended!!! The Heavenly Dao Master is the best www Three Lives Three Worlds, in the early stages, I suggest treating it as a pure cultivation novel, since the romance is too thin (the disciple has unrequited love). It gets very sweet later on! Read "Master's Unsatisfied Desire" online.

If you like multiple couples, check this one out. I only remember one side couple, a dragon and vines (?), I'm not sure, it was a long time ago, and it was very sweet!
