    Tomato's Must-Read Novels: 1. *Legendary Bureau* This book is simply about setting up and closing plot holes, maintaining a consistent logic throughout, but it surpasses 99% of Tomato's books. I read it a long time ago and almost forgot the details, but I still recommend it to friends every time. 2. *Mysterious City of Beasts* The reason for the recommendation is also strong and simple: it feels like a physical novel. Veteran bookworms should remember the sense of perfection that physical novels like *Forbidden Game* and *Awakening Day* gave many years ago. They were truly written, checked for consistency, and then published. A sense of completeness. 3. *No One Believes the Prophecy of Doomsday, Just Waiting for the End of the World* The title sounds like the light novels that Tomato is currently popular with. Actually, I read half of it, and the more I read, the more it felt like a science fiction novel I read in a science fiction world. Perhaps the writing style isn't as good as He Xi's, the knowledge isn't as great as Liu Cixin's, and the imagination isn't as great as Wang Jinkang's, but it feels quite like the style of Zhang Ran. And to be compared to those authors is already a compliment to the author.
