    Without further ado, I have to give a huge recommendation to these two novels I've been reading on Tomato for so long, and they're the only two I really enjoyed (Die Jia: mainly because they're my cup of tea 😋). The first one, although the protagonist has a younger brother who's also a protagonist, focuses on family and friendship; the brotherly bond is beautiful, and both protagonists are incredibly powerful. The second one, which I followed almost to the end, has a very detailed plot and character development. Similarly, the protagonist is very strong, consistently ranking first. In terms of personality, he's incredibly kind to friends and ruthless towards enemies. The characters, stories, and backgrounds in some of the story arcs are also very enjoyable 😚 (Highly recommended)
