    If you want to find some novels in Tomato Novels that have good writing, few emotional lines, excellent group portraits, and can make people read with their brains, I recommend them to you: - "I Give the Protagonists of the Apocalypse a Code": The author Bian Lu has a very creative mind and creates a different kind of apocalyptic world. The heroine Sheng An serves as the leader of Team B of the Doomsday Special Situation Department, and recruits the protagonists with golden fingers from popular apocalyptic novels under her command to let them serve the country. The article complains about many mindless apocalyptic stories, with novel plots and constant twists. The protagonist team fights wits and courage with alien species, with passion and high energy. The whole process is backed by the country, which is different from the traditional apocalyptic story of finding supplies and fighting zombies. The description of the group portraits is extremely brilliant. Each character has a unique golden finger and a distinct personality. They create fierce sparks in the apocalypse. Readers can enjoy a brain-burning and exciting reading experience. - "Notice of Missing Person": written by Lu Wu, it is a realistic and dark suspense mystery novel. Flashbacks are used to narrate the story, with three lines running in parallel. The main line is the search process of the mother and her boyfriend's brother after their daughter and boyfriend disappeared; the second line tracks the unknown body from the police's perspective; and the third line is the heroine Ning Wenyuan's journey of becoming a loan shark leader. The author's logic is strong, the details echo back and forth to form a closed loop, the writing style is pragmatic, and the evil of human nature is nakedly displayed. Although there is no obvious emotional line, with the wonderful group portraits and brain-burning plot, the readers will feel chills on the back and unable to stop. - "There is Medicine in the Mountains": a masterpiece of farming through books written by Tang Xiangren. The heroine disguises herself as the villain's aunt in the male video who abuses the protagonist and then quickly exits the scene. Just as the whole family is fleeing to escape the war, she leaves decisively and gives the hero half of the property so that he can join the army and make a fortune, while she leads the old, weak, sick and disabled to the mountains to take refuge. The author's writing skills are profound, and the characters he creates are vivid and lively, no matter the protagonist or supporting role, without being clichéd. The words and deeds of many supporting characters are consistent with their identity and will grow and change with experience. The heroine uses her knowledge of herbal medicine to open up wasteland, farm, and make medicine, rebuild her home, and benefit the countryside. She composes a splendid hymn of rural pastoral portraits, which is suitable for readers who like slow-paced, brain-intensive stories about the flow of life.
