   There are countless Tomato novels out there, and I genuinely read both of these two with great patience. The first one is undoubtedly a masterpiece. The second one was recommended by a friend; the premise of everyone around the protagonist being a strange beast was truly refreshing, and it's not just mindless leveling up—the protagonist experiences hardships at every stage of his growth. I highly recommend the second one.
