Everyone has a one-sided crush on him, but he's incredibly oblivious and genuinely has a mental illness (though his fighting skills are off the charts).

    [Smirking] 1. The male lead is hilarious, a heartthrob, and a total straight man. He mistakes the progress of his romance for kinship points, unknowingly redeeming others. He's a master of flirting without realizing it, a true ladies' man, and a bloodthirsty demon lord. The protagonist is exceptionally strong and has an authoritative appearance. He's also very authoritative in the fandom. The fan art drawn by various artists is also amazing. The author is very attentive and replies to everyone. The plot is mostly abstract, the kind that will make you laugh until you can't stop. 🌞 2. I'm Not a Drama God fanfiction. He's a heartthrob, all male leads. The male lead is like a little sun, rather innocent, a bit easily fooled, a bit silly, with a good personality, but not a saint. He has good character and values, and his bottom line is family and friends. He's a beacon of light, quite strong and handsome. He unknowingly redeems many people, naturally flirtatious without realizing it. The whole story is very sweet with lots of interactions. 🐈‍⬛ 3. It's a bit slow-burning, but the protagonist's intelligence and fighting skills are both on point. It's quite angsty. The author really likes to give the protagonist a cat-like personality. He's the darling of the group later on. Hmm, I don't know if this counts as hilarious. I don't recommend it for impatient readers. 🪶4. The male lead is pretentious, but his intelligence, fighting skills, and looks are all on point. He's a bit of a goofball, and the story is a group portrait. It's a pseudo-beautiful, strong, and tragic story. I wouldn't recommend it to someone with a short attention span.

    It features two male protagonists, but no romantic pairing. The main character, Cheng Wangyan, is a very charismatic and well-developed individual. Many people around him (both male and female, mostly male in the book) are attracted to him by his charm, but he doesn't like anyone because he's exceptionally talented. The protagonist has a carefree and unrestrained personality but possesses his own moral principles; he'll sacrifice his freedom for responsibility and defy fate. Because he's so straightforward, there are many hilarious, straight-man-like pronouncements throughout the story—the author is incredibly skilled at writing! The author uses extensive action descriptions to portray the protagonist's combat prowess; he's truly strong, and I really love him.

    This is a suspenseful, infinite flow story with no romantic pairing. The protagonist, a hapless, married man, is chosen between a strawberry and a raspberry. He's incredibly popular but often inexplicably abused, openly committing misdeeds while discreetly avoiding being beaten. He's practically invincible, caught between being super strong and utterly weak. The story features a male lead who loves to make sarcastic and humorous remarks, a must-read for those who enjoy sweet romance and have a romantic fantasy. Don't miss it!
