    @TomatoNovelOfficial These are all really good novels. I couldn't fit them all in, so I could only choose 20. The second one is really, really good. I loved this genre from the first time I read it. For cultivation novels, I highly recommend "The Little Junior Sister Cries So Much" and "One Sword Destroys the Heavens and Earth," and "The Little Junior Sister Is Clearly Super Strong But Is Overly Silly." These two are truly masterpieces. The others are also very good. The first one was the first Xianxia novel I ever read. For romance novels, look for Yan Xiaoyan. I've read all of his books, including 3, 6, and 7. 6 Was the first comedy novel I ever read about the entertainment industry. For entertainment industry novels, Teacher Hu Yu's works are also very good, really good. #PeakThrone

    The first three books are undoubtedly of high quality (though *The End* is the highest quality), and I sincerely recommend them. *The God of Drama* and *The God of Slaying* allow you to experience the characters' emotions, feel the greatness of humanity and the mercy of the gods, and experience the feeling of being driven mad by the despicable Erjiu Dao. *The End* is truly Tomato's best book; the entire story is very coherent, with a satisfying ending and well-placed foreshadowing. The only regret is that everyone else has a happy ending, except for Qi Xia, who has a tragic ending. The later character biographies allow you to experience the true emotions of each character: the helplessness of being a father, the injustice of being falsely accused, a microcosm of Chinese education, the regrets of a top scientist, the greatness of maternal love… Finally, I recommend a lesser-known book. The urban scenes at the beginning are a rehash, but the later plot shows the author's dedication. I sincerely suggest everyone read it to pass the time [laughs].
