Are Straightforward Investment-in-a-Love-Interest Stories Really This Niche? I've Been in a Reading Slump for Ages 🥹
I want a multiple-love-interest story, not a no-CP story or one where the protagonist goes all-in on one person. I simply love how every love interest makes me unable to resist them, and the thrill of not knowing who the protagonist will end up with. Good writing and a compelling protagonist are a must. Something like Hu Yu Lajiao's "After the Villainous Male Supporting Character Goes Bankrupt." Please recommend some!

Looking for Stories About an Average Girl Who Becomes Everyone's Favorite
I want to read something like "The Main Character Magnet Chose Me (Good Dream Chapters)". The heroine is an ordinary girl, and all the male leads are hopelessly devoted to her.

Sisters, this book is amazing! Multiple male leads, and the author's writing style is quite explicit, but it's not vulgar at all—it's very different and incredibly addictive. You have to read it! It's especially suitable for reading at night; where am I supposed to find a man this late at night? 🤦
This is the best book I've read in the past two years. It's very original and not the clichéd plot of "you torment me, but I still love you," where the guy regrets it and the girl comes back, and they get back together. It's really good.
It's so good! The show is about not going back to the past, not having unrealistic expectations, and the realistic portrayal of life, from eating and drinking to the female lead being genuinely interested in the present. She's not love-struck; she lives in the moment and understands the importance of being pragmatic.
I really like Lee Se-jeol. I hope the author will treat him well; he's such a wonderful person. 🥺🥺
Wow, that's great! Exciting! I love it! Author, I support you! Keep it up! Dear author, I'm very disappointed with this ending; it felt rushed. Even herding cattle wouldn't be this fast.
The author's writing style is crisp and concise, with delicate and specific language. I really like it; it's like the gentle flow of a stream, or the warm and gentle warmth of the spring sun. Keep it up!
I finished watching it in one night. Now I'm waiting for the next update. Although I found the female lead quite lazy and I didn't really like her personality, overall it was still pretty good. Is the ending multi-male lead? Or are there three male leads? Li and Gu are both great, and although Xu is a bit twisted, I like him too. I want them all! 🥰🥰
It's really amazing! I've been feeling a bit restless lately, but reading this book has really helped me a lot. The author's character portrayals are unique. Unlike other novels that depict male protagonists as upright and righteous throughout their lives, she writes about male protagonists who, despite the hardships of fate, still maintain their sense of justice.
It's a good read. I hope the prince and his daughter can recognize each other, and that it ends with a happy ending (NP).
It's good! Of the three, I definitely like the Crown Prince a little more. Yi Ning is right, he's a good and considerate man. Author, please give me more chapters! 😘😘
