Help, I've Recently Gotten Into Imaginative Modern Romance
Looking for books similar to The Movie Emperor Always Wants to Scheme Against Me. I want a modern-day novel with an imaginative premise 📖, especially one where both leads are rational and clever (they have brains). I want a tightly paced, logical plot where they overcome every challenge and find their way to each other. Mutual love, please.

In a Reading Slump, Looking for Masterpieces That’ll Blow My Mind
I'm looking for stories like "I've Been Possessed for 90,000 Years". Nothing brainless or dumbed down; fresh ideas, any genre, exciting, funny, scheming, or imaginative, all welcome.
Looking for Ensemble Stories That Aren't Mindless
I don’t want something that’s just romance. I want passion, heartache, and comedy (together, they’re invincible; apart, they’re a total mess).

Any Good Misunderstanding Stories Where Everyone Reads Too Much Into the Protagonist?
Looking for books like "My Strength Comes Entirely from My Enemies' Imaginations." I want a protagonist who's just an ordinary person or a newbie, but whom everyone else imagines to be a big shot.

Looking for books like "Tomb Raiders: I Put on a Mysterious Act, but I'm Beautiful, Powerful, and Tragic". I love characters who are both beautiful and powerful, with suffering that ideally comes from physical illness or pain. This is exactly my kind of thing. I want a protagonist who openly admits they're putting on an act, not someone who gets all coy about it. I hope it's a C...

Looking for something like "Game Invasion": an expansive world, richly drawn characters, exceptionally high moral standards, and elegant dialogue and narration. After finishing this one, I couldn’t stick with any other novel. It’s hard to go back to less after having the best. It has to be one that’s fully completed.

Very good! I really love Xiao Lu's character. 1. She seems detached from the crowd yet constantly observes their movements; 2. She's aloof yet gentle and patient; 3. Her strategic brilliance is also very appealing. Being the group's darling, and slightly universally loved, makes her even more endearing. Xiao Lu, you're practically a little kitten! (1.
Lu Ge is definitely my biggest regret. It was such a great show, but I also feel so sorry for him. If it weren't for those haters and those little devils, it might have ended by now. Tiao Tiao Nan Gui is truly wonderful; she will donate the gifts we sent her in our name. Finally, I wish Tiao Tiao Nan Gui happiness and joy!!!
A supernatural world that has reopened over a hundred times, a chess player with a tragic past, a high-dimensional system that scorns all living beings, a group of protagonists who are all villains yet still hold onto justice, cherish each other, and share life and death hardships—an unfinished script, a grand performance that has just begun.
It's beautiful, I love watching it, it's so cute, I love shipping it! 😘 I really enjoy reading Lu Ge's character; sometimes he gives me a strong feeling of being a loving wife. The other characters are also heartwarming. Author, keep up the good work! ₍₍ ง(*Ӧ)ว ⁾⁾
A group of teenagers, all of them are fun-loving, and the protagonist is super smart, super strong, and super handsome—isn't that enough to get you hooked? It proves that a book's rating has little to do with its release date; a 9.5 Rating in just four months proves it. The character designs are all very interesting, not formulaic or cliché. The story has many foreshadowing elements.
It's so good! Lu Ge's aloof and charming eyes are so cool every time he appears. The main characters are also so lovable (including but not limited to their mutual betrayal and slingshotting). The fact that they're all villains gives their friendship an even deeper layer of meaning.
I was heartbroken to hear this news. This book is one of Tomato's rare long-form narratives, and the author's writing skills and ideas are excellent. I don't know what those people who harass others' private lives are thinking. I'm also very grateful that the author was able to give readers a break under such pressure. Don't regret creating the characters, and don't deny your imagination.
A great piece of work with a fantastic concept, it's a shame it couldn't be continued. Haters, I hate you guys! How happy I would have been to see the original story in the serialized version! But it's no use saying anything now. Wishing Nan Gui-sensei three happy moments and a smooth life.
This is my white moonlight... After reading this book, I truly understand that BL (Boys' Love) stories are the most enjoyable. The author's logic is very rigorous. It was originally a book worth rereading because there are many long foreshadowings (it should be considered one, worth savoring carefully).
My goodness, all the fun guys + all the villains + ensemble + teenagers = my favorite. The person who created this combination is a genius. It's so good. Brother Lu is a high-IQ, high-strength, indifferent, money-loving, flirtatious guy who is a fun guy. He perfectly fits my tropes. It's also an ensemble.
