    A 20-year veteran bookworm's recommendations: First book: A masterpiece, no explanation needed. Although it was discontinued, you have to forgive it. After all, the author is rumored to have exposed his true nature because of its realism, haha. Second book: There are so many crazy people in this world, but few are interestingly written with both plot and logic. Third book: At first, you only think the protagonist is crazy, but seeing reality, you realize that madness is blood, hatred, and boundless darkness, and only in madness can one save oneself. The plot twist is shocking, a depth that Tomato (the author) shouldn't have. Fourth and fifth books: By the same author, female protagonist stories, ensemble pieces—that's how women should be. Sixth book: A well-written ancient romance, very charming, worth savoring. Seventh book: The junior uncle uses his past life to save himself in this life, creating a system for himself. The characters are clearly defined and very distinctive. Eighth book: Just read it, you'll be speechless once you start, and you'll love it after you finish.

    For fans of dual male leads, check this out! The first book features a transmigrated cat-like bodyguard as the uke and a powerful, initially clueless, but later cunning dog-like seme. Cat-uke and dog-seme pairings are my absolute favorite! It's sweet and angsty, with a few angsty moments that quickly turn sweet again. The second book, which I absolutely love, is one I've reread twice. It features a sickly but strong uke and a uke with no political maneuvering, only a wife-loving seme. They claim to be ruthless, but they're both incredibly kind! The third book is the first one I want to recommend on my Tomato website: a brave uke and a tsundere cat-like seme. It's very heartwarming, with a fairytale feel, both sweet and angsty, and even a bit healing to me. I highly recommend it!

    Reader note

    Books 1 and 2 are both about raft survival, and I feel they're the best in the raft survival genre (this is just my personal opinion, please don't criticize). The first book has no romance, the second does; both are currently being serialized. Books 3 and 4 are cultivation novels. The third is an infrastructure-building type, has a romance, and is also being serialized. The fourth, well, it's just... Absurd, but it's already finished. Books 5 through 8 are all about absurdities in the entertainment industry. I personally like the fifth one the most; books 5, 6, and 7 all have romance, while the eighth doesn't. All of these novels are very good, and I highly recommend them to everyone, especially the later ones, which will make you laugh out loud. Please give a like if you enjoyed this, thank you! [Kiss]
