   I would call it: ① After moving in together, my abstinent fiancé instantly transforms into a kissing monster? ② After starting my job, my one-night stand turns out to be the chairman?! This is part of the romance novel series "Love Requires Sincere Confession." The first part, "Double-Faced Lover," is complete, no angst, and mildly explicit. The second part, "Love at First Sight," is currently being serialized and is now in the recommendation phase. I won't say anything else, but chapters 59 and 60 are even better when read along with the author's commentary. Trust me! Really! In chapters 66 and 67, the person who wants to kiss you will definitely kiss you! The fantasy novel "Dragon Altar" is modeled after Ultraman Tiga, featuring monster battles. Each chapter is 10,000 words long...

   Reader note

   The story is of high quality and worth checking out; the author is one of the few high-quality authors among the new books. However, the subject matter is somewhat niche, so if you like that kind of thing, you can give it a try; if not, you can just leave.

    Reader note

    A decisive and ruthless male protagonist, an infinite flow game-like world, and a story about mind-bending or psychological issues. The overall premise is novel and engaging, with many small details to appreciate. I'm really looking forward to future updates. Please give it a like; I'm worried the author will neglect updates.
