Looking for books similar to Surviving in the Comic World by Stealing the Spotlight. Anything like that? It doesn't have to involve a secret identity, either.
Looking for Someone Who Thinks They’re Gentle and Unassuming, but Is an Indescribable Demon Lord in Everyone Else’s Eyes

Any No-Female-Lead Stories with a Couple Worth Shipping?
Looking for books like Do I Not Have a Name? They Just Call Me Strategic-Level! I absolutely want no female lead. Ideally, the male lead should be shippable with anyone. He should be handsome, with no romantic ambiguity. Two male leads is fine too.
Looking for Behind-the-Scenes Stories Where a Big Boss Joins the Main Cast and Plays at Being Human
The protagonist is a behind-the-scenes boss who rules the world and infiltrates the main cast. Ideally, they have a grudge against the group, but the group doesn't know who they are. They should be completely ruthless, either doing everything for a supposedly good outcome or being a total thrill-seeker, with no emotional attachments to anyone.
Looking for a Story with a Chaotic Neutral Protagonist and No Female Lead
Looking for books like Disaster Star? That's Pure Slander! I wonder if anyone else likes stories with no female lead, but can't handle anything too dark or too wholesome. I don't like stories about saving the world. I want a protagonist who does whatever they feel like: they can save someone if they want to, or just watch if they don't. No...
Cold, Beautiful Boy + Everyone’s Favorite + No Romance 🍀🍀🍀

Any Stories Where the Male Lead Has Great Chemistry With Other Men, but No Romance?
Looking for books similar to "From the Start, I Mastered Beast Speech and Became a Pillar of the Nation". Don’t recommend anything with a couple, male or female: ( No cultivation or ancient settings, please. By the way, are there any good lord-building novels? No romance, please.
Stories With a True Background Character! Please Stop Recommending Ones With Couples in This Thread...
I hope the protagonist actually works hard at being a background character in each quick transmigration world, instead of falling in love with the main characters and becoming everyone's favorite. I'd prefer no CP, or a CP in one particular world, but no CP in most of the worlds.
No CP, and Not Mindless
Looking for something similar to Everyone Screams While I Smile, the Game Falls Apart While I Sleep. This is a book I recommend myself.

It seems pretty good so far, but there aren't many viewers or anyone urging it to air. It feels like it has potential. I really like the main character's personality; I just don't know how it will develop. Personally, I prefer the main character to be the only one who shines, as long as there's some ambiguity but no kissing.
The comments all seem to say it's good... But the beginning is mostly about the main character being persecuted by a few crazy men, which I, as someone who's a bit of a protagonist enthusiast, can't stand. The rest is pretty good though.
In the first few chapters, the protagonist's tragic past gave off a kind of ruthless, work-crazed vibe, making him seem reckless and oblivious to everything else. That's probably part of what makes him so endearing! I personally really like this vibe, hehe. Keep it up, boss! Looking forward to the rest of the story! (≧∇≦)
Suddenly, a powerful master appeared, and I felt that the protagonist's spotlight was somewhat stolen.
A great book with a lot of potential! (Minor spoilers below) I've never read novels before that focus on Duan Ping's hobbies ( ). I think this book is really good, but I don't know why there are so few reviews for Duan Ping ( ) ╥⩊╥՞ However, I still prefer the middle part of the story. Lu Jiayi is just so handsome!
A heads-up: the protagonist genuinely wants to be an ordinary person in the early stages, so he goes through a series of events (being interrogated by a thug, being chased down the street by a reborn being, and being treated like a demon king). These events only occur in the first few dozen chapters.
Long live no romance, no ambiguity! And it's delicious and easy to ship! (๑´ڡ`๑) I love it! (๑´ڡ`๑)😋 I hated Mo Li in the beginning, but I could ignore her later on. I haven't experienced it myself, so I don't want to comment.
I can't really finish a book that's not well-written; I usually give up before I even finish it. I really enjoy this type of story, but this one is truly well-written. I highly recommend it! Trust me, go read it!
So delicious 😋! This is the story of Lu Shuang and Wan Gui Mi. It's a great ensemble piece with friendship and romantic pairings—you can ship any pairing you like! Narcissus is the best! The author's writing is excellent, and the foreshadowing is well done. The beginning was a bit confusing, but things gradually became clearer in the middle, and it got better and better in the end.
So delicious! I only realized I hadn't rated it after reading for so long. I love this type of protagonist, such an interesting setup. In the last few chapters, Lu is almost back to his memories, and I'm a little curious whether he'll still be the same emotionless, unattached villain he was before. Actually, I have a bit of a selfish wish; I hope he'll be kinder to everyone.
