    Sharing a thriller novel with two male protagonists that left a deep impression on me. It's an episodic, completed series. The story revolves around a persistent knocking signal in an old apartment building, a cycle of trapped individuals in an academy, and a survival notice filled with traps on a cruise ship. Many dangers stem from blurring the lines between reality and illusion, and from failing to discern the true identities of those around them. The bond between the male leads is gradually built up through the plot, with unexpected twists and turns. I recommend reading it in the dark, not at night.

    This is a space-themed novel with two male leads, a pure romance, and both characters are virgins. An alien prince works on Earth and struggles to make ends meet. It's funny and humorous, with a "chasing-back-him-him-through-three-lifetimes" scenario, followed by a "raising-him-him-to-pursue" approach. It's sweet and indulgent with a touch of angst, so feel free to read it—it's super sweet!
