I like secret identities and characters working behind the scenes. No

Looking for Male-Male or No-CP Male-Oriented Novels with a Little Romantic Chemistry
I've heard the brotherly bonds in male-oriented fiction are really fun to ship, and they're written with such passion. Then the female lead shows up and... So, are there any stories with two male leads written by male authors? Or no female lead, but still plenty to ship? Ideally with a clear pairing, not a messy free-for-all. Ancient or xianxia settings, and add a main...

This was my first time reading a humorous and quirky story. There were a few platonic romances, but it felt predominantly BL. The author seems to really enjoy male-male pairings, but I'm a staunch heterosexual (BG) fan and can accept a no-couple pairing, just not into BL. I really liked the theme, and the plot and writing were good. I didn't want to keep skipping chapters because of the BL scenes, so I had to leave with regret 🤦
The author truly captured the eerie beauty she described; that strange aesthetic permeates the words. What's even more amazing is that it's a no-romance story—no one can have this succubus male lead! I love it even more when he's being pretentious.
I was drawn in by the title and synopsis, initially with the intention of shipping the main characters (I was actually a bit into the shipping aspect). Halfway through, I felt the plot was getting a bit too fast-paced, but then I realized that shipping is something you create out of thin air based on your own feelings and observations 🌚💪 The first chapter might be a bit boring as a prelude, but…
This story leans towards a cult genre, featuring humorous and endearing contrasts. It's basically a tale of a seemingly weak character secretly plotting something big, with bizarre and fantastical elements. Welcome to read! 😘
Having read up to chapter 34, it seems the tone remains largely the same: a bunch of powerful figures harm many people, and then the protagonist, relying on the Ghost Mother Queen, punishes them with love and justice. It feels like you can read the later chapters without thinking, like those overpowered protagonist stories where you just need to know the Ghost Mother Queen is incredibly powerful…
It's great! ( ´艸`) The main character's design is also great. He's a bit of a layabout, but he'll help when things get tough. It's really good. Tiger is cute, Bian Yu is cute too ⚈₃⚈ He's also good at sharing things, and the dog is cute. It's a mix of eerie and funny, especially the part with Miss Chu 😂😂 The way the two brothers get along later is also very well written.
I've been a long-time fan of lililicat's books, from *Shadow Prince* to *The Three Idiots of Chaos* and now this one—it feels like twenty years. I was still in school when I first encountered her book, and now I'm a mother. I follow her on Weibo and occasionally read her ramblings; it feels like reading from an old friend. I'm so happy to suddenly know she's started a new project here.
I binged it all in one go. The protagonist is exactly my type—lazy and adorable, yet brave and decisive. As the Human Emperor, he not only considers the bigger picture but is also incredibly kind. His interactions with others are also incredibly cute; Chu He is just so adorable! I've completely become his nanny 🥺🥺.
It's incredibly good. The male lead is practically a succubus; he has his own set of rules (but he's a good person). I thought the beginning was just okay, but it gets really good from chapter 18 onwards (my Chinese isn't great, so I can't express it well). You'll have to keep reading, friends!
Great! The beginning has a mysterious sense of revival; we're saved! [Note] This book is narrated in the third person. The protagonist is incredibly handsome. He starts as a cautious, timid ordinary person, relying on a single copper coin to survive the eerie corruption. After a dozen chapters, due to his purity, he gains the favor of many gods, using this to show off a lot. Currently, there's no romantic pairing, and no problematic elements, so feel free to read it!
