   Reader note

   I've been reading Tomato's books for four or five years now, and I highly recommend these. They all feature two strong male leads. The first book has a grand world-building and a novel framework, with a micro-ensemble cast that reveals a beautiful side of reality. The story is touching and sweet, the author's writing is excellent, and it contains many insights and reflections on growth and life. The romance isn't extensive in the first volume, but the plot is captivating enough to hold the reader's attention. The second book's romance has a slightly bittersweet element, but it begins with their reunion and gradually uses flashbacks to narrate their past. The early part is quite bittersweet, with sweetness outweighing the sweetness. The male lead deeply loves the female lead, and even when the male lead seems to want revenge, he doesn't let go, instead giving the female lead many benefits. The plot leans towards a fast-paced, enjoyable story, but it's still quite engaging. The third book is an ancient fantasy master-disciple story, incorporating rebirth and a system, but these elements are minimal, almost negligible. The plot is novel, shrouded in mystery, and very captivating. The romance leans towards mutual redemption, a slow and steady development. The author has strong moral values, and the entire story is well-crafted. The fourth book is a modern fantasy with a relatively novel and interesting worldview. It's a fast-paced, level-up story with some overpowered elements, and the romance involves the seme having a long-standing crush on the uke. The author's depiction of the emotional turmoil and mutual understanding is quite captivating. It has positive values, including parts where the protagonist fights against injustice and darkness alongside friends and companions. The fifth book is a quick transmigration story. Each world is interesting, not the kind where you fall in love at first sight and immediately fall in love in every world. Instead, each world involves a period of emotional adjustment and struggle, which I find more realistic. Developing feelings for someone without any memory of them would feel strange, wouldn't it? Falling in love immediately upon meeting in every world, while romantic, feels somewhat unrealistic, and for me, it wouldn't be very interesting, as the rest would just be mindless face-slapping and such. This book is truly unique. The sixth book is a story of two younger, older male leads who are both CEOs, with the uke transmigrating into the book. The protagonist initially concealed his CEO identity, but the other protagonist, following the original plot, wanted him to grow stronger and take over his company so he could escape the storyline and travel alone. The protagonist, of course, didn't want this; he saw through the deception and pretended to be incompetent to prevent the other protagonist from entrusting the company to him, while secretly working hard behind the scenes. The emotional tug-of-war between them was truly captivating. The other protagonist was very tolerant of the protagonist, and their romance was sweet, with a hint of mutual redemption. The seventh book's protagonist was truly awakened to reality, managing to find his own happiness amidst the bitterness of life. The disparity in family background and education was bridged by love, which was genuinely touching. There was a hint of past and present lives; the past life was quite tragic, but the present life was incredibly sweet. The other protagonist was extremely intelligent, scheming step by step, only to fall headlong into a trap, but he did so willingly. The eighth book also touches on the theme of past and present lives. The protagonist is very strong-willed and arrogant, as is the other protagonist, who, despite being the Lord of the Ocean, is willing to humble himself for the protagonist. The past life is slightly angsty, with the protagonist suffering greatly, but this suffering also brings the protagonist a thousand years of waiting and bitterness—very touching. The ninth book is hilarious, a master-disciple relationship with a younger protagonist. The plot is incredibly interesting. The protagonist is slightly charming, but not brainless, and there are no regrets or suffering for him. The author has strong moral values; those who make mistakes receive their due punishment and redeem themselves—very moving. The shared growth of companions always brings tears to my eyes. The tenth book, despite its low rating, boasts a grand and novel world-building with a fresh operational logic. The romance has a slow-burn feel, but it's truly captivating. The emotional turmoil and plot really resonated with me. The protagonist is a little slow and oblivious, but only slightly. The overall tone of the story is slightly melancholic, yet equally heartwarming. Excessive obsession only hurts oneself.

    All are non-CP (couple) novels. The 18th book's romance is officially announced in the extra chapters; the main text has almost no romance. 1 And 2 are non-human, and 1 is told from a completely bizarre perspective. Don't be fooled by the name of 3; the protagonist is a roe deer who can transform, and he has a brother—very sweet. 4 Can be considered a longevity novel; the writing style is quite similar. 11, 12, 15, And 16 are all longevity novels. 5 Is a rare prehistoric novel without conspiracy theories. 13, 17, And 20 are, in my opinion, very ethereal cultivation novels. 6 Is an urban martial arts novel, lighthearted and invincible, not at all angsty. 9 Is similar to 6, but it truly isn't angsty. 7 And 8 are similar; their worldviews are similar, but I personally think 8 is better. 10 Has a very strong non-human protagonist. 14, 18, And 19 are well-written, conventional cultivation novels with good backgrounds and plot settings.

    The female lead and the firefighter got their marriage certificate. Then she got trapped ten meters up in the treetop. The male lead never expected their first meeting after marriage would be in a tree. After rescuing her, one of the firefighters started groping her. A colleague said, "What's wrong with you, firefighter? You're touching our female teacher inappropriately." The male lead replied, "What? Is it illegal to hug your wife?" Everyone—teachers, classmates, and firefighters—gave a collective gasp.
