    The first novel I read on Tomato (a popular Chinese novelist) made me laugh so hard I almost lost all sense of direction, nearly causing my mom to turn against me. Seriously, believe it or not, this book was not only hilarious but also morally sound, instantly raising my standards for novels by several levels. After that, other novels just didn't seem as enjoyable.

    The opening is so classic that it might deter many readers. I suggest skipping ten pages and going straight to the two chapters a day, with stable updates. I've been following it since it started at 100,000 words, and it's a slow-paced urban slice-of-life story with two (or three) female leads.
