I'm so out of books to read, but I'm incredibly picky. For "Ten Thousand People Are Browsing", I made it only thirty chapters before dropping it. I used to read "Dragon King" past chapter 400, but now I dropped "Slay the Gods" after just twenty chapters.
Please, Give Me a Male Lead with a Normal Personality 🙏🙏🙏
Lately, every novel I've read has a male lead who's either a yandere or turns evil later on. Can I get one who's normal for a change, and a female lead with a brain, please!!! If I keep reading novels like these, I'm really going to lose it. I'm too scared to even get a boyfriend now.

Are There Really No High-Quality Women’s Fiction Books Anymore?
Looking for books similar to "Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty of a Villainous Cannon Fodder". I’m so frustrated. Some quick-transmigration authors really don’t understand what quick transmigration means, and drag a single arc out for a hundred chapters. I hope someone can recommend some fast-paced, high-quality stories with no romance. No number one...

I read the latest chapter in one go, and there were a few sentences I particularly liked, so I've compiled them here. "It's not that writing a love letter is shameful, but that the person receiving the love letter doesn't respect the person who wrote it, which is why it becomes a shameful thing." - The white piano keys are like pure white snow.
This is the third time I've encountered this theme: first, an ancient love song; second, a time-travel novel; and third, this book by the author. I just started reading it this afternoon, and I'm currently on the latest chapter. How to put it? It's mostly a feeling of an unfulfilled tragic ending.
This is simply divine! A book I randomly opened captivated me for two hours! Author, please, author, make the male and female leads happy together! I won't even let them suffer. Please, in 2025, I can still hold on a little longer. My favorite couple must have a happy ending! It's so satisfying! I stayed up until 1 AM to finally see the sweet moments I wanted.
"…I am a planet wandering aimlessly in the universe, while you are the brilliant sun. Every time I look at you, the distance between us will shorten a little. Until the gravitational force completely pulls me into your orbit, I will start revolving around your existence forever. " He came from another time, knew his destiny, but was controlled by it and could not change it.
Without exaggeration, this is the best novel I've read in 26 years. I clicked on it by chance and was pleasantly surprised. The Möbius strip didn't trap Li Can and He Jing; Can cut the loop with a pair of scissors, saving He Jing. At the beginning, I thought it was a tragic love story—it really had a strong tragic undertone!
No, I just randomly clicked on Tomato and this novel on an ordinary evening while doing my homework, and then started reading it. How can it be so good?! Every character perfectly tugs at my heartstrings. I love the male and female leads, the supporting characters, and even the parents! Can Can and Xiao Jing are both making their best efforts for each other! I cried constantly.
It's so good! The writing is so detailed. I would call it a must-read for anyone trying to lose weight. Before reading it, I was happily snacking while reading, but as I read on, I couldn't eat a single bite. I felt a lump in my throat. He Jing had always liked Li Can, but Li Can's feelings for He Jing were only made clear when the love letter appeared.
Under the black umbrella, Li Can's gaze was resolute. She spoke clearly, word by word, "He Jing, if you go back to the past and find that the future cannot be changed, then never appear in my life again." —😢😢😢😢 "So it was because of me..." She cried and said, "So the reason you didn't come back was really because of me. In the end, it's still me who's bullying you..." The author is truly amazing!
I spent so much time searching for stories about female protagonists, and I never expected to find one in the heterosexual romance genre. I thought I'd only ever read stories without a romantic pairing 🥺🥺 What impressed me most was actually the female lead's friend. Towards the end, I thought she'd end up with the motorcycle guy (I even thought it was a bit out of character).
The story starts off intensely; the synopsis has me hooked. I'm eager to see if the male lead is a human or a ghost. [Smirk] The "tenth place" is gone, He Jing is gone, and Li Can will never be tenth again. Seeing this breaks my heart. Why are there so many unrequited loves in this world?
