   Pure fantasy or Western fantasy novels might be a bit better. Indeed, most of these novels have an overly strong sense of the protagonist being a lackey or slave. Especially since these patriotic writing styles contradict the most common, weak face-slapping trope. Then you see: a high-level martial arts novel set in an urban world, the male protagonist's parents died in battle, yet he receives no compensation. He's fostered by ordinary relatives, struggling to survive on their hard-earned money. In a situation where ordinary people work hard but still struggle to make ends meet, unable to afford lavish meals, let alone pre-awakening supplements, or even the entrance fee to martial arts university, the protagonist criticizes the plight of the people of the United States. Along the way, he's raised with the hard-earned money of his relatives, facing difficulties from classmates, teachers, school leaders, and local officials. Finally, when the government offers him a helping hand, he resolutely serves the government... Anyone who can keep reading this and then experience a patriotic climax is practically a god.

   Most of the science fiction novels on Tomato are "powerful nation" stories. I didn't say I'm unpatriotic, so why do they keep recommending these kinds of novels to me? They all start with nuclear fusion, or the protagonist is at a university demonstrating the technology provided by the system to a military leader. There are so few novels that don't fall into the "powerful nation" category. I search for "advanced technology," and it recommends nuclear fusion; I search for "interstellar travel," and it still recommends nuclear fusion. Are they really obsessed with nuclear fusion?
