   The brilliance of this book lies in its portrayal of two characters: Bian Yang and Tang Yu—a boy with impeccable values ​​and a girl who appears gentle but is strong inside. I learned a lot from them: Bian Yang taught me that those who care about you will always like you, and that you can honestly say "I don't like you either" to those who don't. Don't be saddened by a friend's passive-aggressive behavior; their emotions are their own business, don't let them control you. Tang Yu showed me that even after suffering from school bullying, her inner strength and inherent courage were not extinguished. She may seem to have concealed her sharp edges, but she quietly accomplishes great things; her courage has always remained.

    Urban slice-of-life novels are one of the genres I read a lot of. I'm an eclectic reader (my bookshelf is a mess). Here are a few recommendations: First, Panda's "I Rely on Beating Up Top Students to Obtain Black Technology" (hereinafter referred to as "Top Student Technology Novel"). This was the first urban novel I seriously read. The content is quite substantial, and the pace is fast in the later stages. In comparison, the early stages feel more like a test for the reader. You have to be patient until the later parts when you see the exciting parts. However, the shortcomings are also obvious. It's formulaic (layered armor, I really don't mean anything by it, but this book is almost entirely based on the same formula from the beginning of the research, only the drugs have changed and the artifacts in the system shop have also changed to corresponding ones). However, Panda's writing style is simple, unadorned, and humorous. You won't feel bored; it's very readable. So I recommend this one first. However, it's an urban fantasy novel with a system, but it basically relies on the male protagonist's own efforts and luck! The harder you work, the luckier you get, right? Second, "Damn it! Surrounded by a Yandere Ex-Girlfriend in a Romance Variety Show." This book is an urban slice-of-life novel. To be honest, I initially thought it was the book that Roundtable Anime had mentioned before (Roundtable Anime is a very famous book recommendation YouTuber). They had posted similar videos before, so I had a preconceived notion. Actually, this book is even better. Anyway, it's the kind of story that grows on you later; you'll understand why it's called that once you read it. I think it's great! The third book is "The School Beauty Senior Had No Scandals Until I Went to College," which is 100% the "real deal." Roundtable Anime's "The Iceberg Senior is a Little Sweet" series recommended this book, which is why I downloaded Tomato. At first, I thought Tomato was only for reading novels, but I didn't expect to be able to read books from other publishers for free, which brought some fun to my life and gradually made me familiar with e-books... Anyway, this book is all about one word: reading. Eat your fill of sweetness, not artificial sweeteners, but dopamine that will leave you wanting more. Just be happy, guys. The fourth book is "Sorry, I Was Chased by the White Moonlight School Beauty in High School," which is worth savoring. Why do I say that? Because in the beginning, he kept jumping around in your head. For the first dozen or so chapters, I kept going from reading a romance novel to a sci-fi novel and then back to a romance novel? But it's good, the choices are handled very well, and I patiently finished reading it. The later parts are normal urban slice-of-life stories, but now it's a single female lead. It seems like the author is trying to create some surprises? (Doge) The fifth book, *After Being Tricked into Marriage, My Wife Is Fishing Me Every Day*, I'd call this a "sci-fi" story. You should read it yourselves! Aside from that, the lovers finally get together, and the single-female lead's pure love story is invincible! The sixth book, *Transferring to Tokyo and Meeting Her with One Wing*, honestly, is the one I'm least qualified to recommend among all these books, because I only read a small part of it. My impression was: watching an anime. It's a very ordinary slice-of-life romance anime, but it does have that anime atmosphere. The writing is very good. I guess because I watch too many anime, I found it rather bland towards the end. However, I still think it's worth reading! These are my recommendations. Ignore the length; this is just me rambling. I'm a chatterbox online, but in real life, I'm an ordinary otaku high school student. I hope everyone can find wonderful reading material on Tomato, appreciate the beauty of words, and see the vastness of the world! I'm "Tomato Can Be Read," and I hope my recommendations can help you overcome your reading slump.
