   Reader note

   Book 1: Widely acknowledged as the best by Tomato (the author's pseudonym). If someone tells you they've never seen Dali, they're definitely lying. Books 2-4: High-quality historical fiction. The first is a mix, the latter two are set in the Ming Dynasty. Book 5: Extremely tear-jerking, memory-based. Books 6-7: High-quality comics. The first, *Non-Human Beings*, is undoubtedly excellent. The second, *Xiao Yun*, is an original Tomato comic. Books 8-10: Thrillers and ghost stories. The first one is *The Madman's Evil*, the second is a rule-based ghost story, and the third is a humorous rule-based ghost story. The last two are high-quality fantasy novels, though the later parts are a bit padded, the earlier parts are quite good. The advertising attracted many people to Tomato. *Fantasy: I Can Have Infinite Enlightenment* is the novel version of the original comic in Book 7. The novel came first, then the comic. The novel's plot is more complete than the comic's. Finally, let me say a few words. These books I recommended are all top picks I've sifted through thousands of hours. You absolutely can't go wrong with them. The two recommendations mentioned earlier are just disgusting female-oriented novels… they're just trying to tear apart other people's umbrellas because they got caught in the rain themselves 🤦 I also have a high-quality female-oriented palace intrigue novel that was quite popular recently; I'll post it in a separate post.
