“I Don’t Need Saving. I Never Will.” Now I Suddenly Want to Read a Tragic Romance.
Looking for books similar to Detective Conan: Forced to Save the Day, Now I Just Want to Die and Escape. Preferably no romance, with a protagonist who's completely fixated on dying and a very oppressive atmosphere.
Sophisticated Angst with Smart Characters and a Logical Plot
Looking for books similar to Palace Wall Willow. It doesn’t have to be the kind where the male and female leads must fight to the death, with one of them inevitably dying. There can be national hatred and family feuds separating them, or a divide between righteousness and evil. The story should be logical and reflect the thinking of normal people.
The Female Lead Is an Ordinary Person, and the Male Lead Regrets Losing Her. Angsty First, Sweet Later
The male lead has to be a domineering CEO.
A Scheming Female Lead Who Wants to Marry Up, Like the Story My Name Is Mary Fang
The Hero Is Only Playing Around with the Heroine, Then Has to Grovel to Win Her Back
The male lead bets his friends he can pursue the female lead. When she finds out, he has to go through a regretful-chasing-his-wife arc.
Looking for Stories Where They Conceive First, Then Fall in Love
I don't want stories where the female lead runs away with a child.
A Great Book! Nothing Clichéd!
I want something beautifully written, not clichéd, and sweet, the kind of book you can really get into.

This is the most depressing novel I've ever read; it's so oppressive, it feels like my heart is being gripped tightly by a giant hand. The poor little heroine's background is unimaginable; she's surrounded by such awful people. Trash parents, trash boyfriend—no one she entrusts her life to or relies on is a good person. I really hope she finds her true love and a happy future!
Five stars for the author. It's rare to find a standard that doesn't judge a book based solely on its characters and plot. While reading, I greatly admired and appreciated the author's writing skills. The language is neither exaggerated nor vulgar; it lacks a high-and-mighty literary air but still possesses a solid writing style. The entire text flows logically.
I admire the author's portrayal of the perfectly self-centered woman, who doesn't depend on others for her future. She's a woman who dares to love and hate, decisive, intelligent, studious, and ambitious. In the end, if you're not happy, who will? It's a great story and worth reading.
The writing is good, and although the plot is clichéd, it's well-written. The female lead, despite being in a situation beyond her control, manages to overcome it through sheer willpower. The later episodes, with the male lead suffering various hardships, are quite satisfying to watch. I personally really like this character's design. I'll comment on other aspects after I finish reading. 😄
The author is such a good writer! Reading the words really gives me a heart-pounding feeling 😢 Their love and hurt for each other are also very reasonable and fit the characters perfectly. Some parts are also interesting. I automatically identified with Xiao Jingzhe as Xiao Paofu. She is so cute! I've read this so many times, author! I love you so much! Do you have any social media accounts?! Did you change your pen name?! I really want to read your new story! I love you!
The plot is actually quite interesting with many twists and turns, but it's all normal. In the early stages, the female lead genuinely loves the male lead, needs him, and loves him back, even if it means being hurt by him. Realistically, the female lead has no choice but to be with the male lead for her safety; otherwise, she'll be killed by Wen Sui.
This book is the most exciting one in its genre right now, even better than many others rated 8.5 or higher.
To be honest, it can still have a happy ending, right? 😢😢 The novel leaves some beautiful moments for the readers. 😢 I'm begging for a perfect ending for the male and female leads; they absolutely have to reconcile in the end!
The more I watch, the more exciting and enjoyable it becomes. I just hope that Youbai can come to like Arknights again.
I read it on and off for a while, and it's quite well-written. The male lead does a lot more later on, and many readers are asking for a happy ending (HE). Personally, I can accept either a HE or a BE. Judging from the comments, some people are asking for a HE just because the male lead changed his appearance, which shows how emotional women really are. HE or BE, some things, just thinking about them, leave me feeling nauseous.
