Top Romance for Male Leads
I love top-centric stories. When shipping CPs, I'm a CP junkie, but I'm not too focused on top traits (meaning I don't insist on a strong romantic arrow toward the top, but I do care about how the top is written). If you don't mind any potential triggers, give these a try.

I particularly like Jun Ji. I once got to know Awen because I was amazed by Jun Ji. Now I have come to Huairen. After walking all the way, I finally reached the ending of the story. While this feeling is still there, I want to seriously write a long review. Compared with Jun Ji, I have been reading this article intermittently because it is too painful. From the beginning, I can see the endings of several pairs of CPs, and I can more or less see the direction of the plot development. I feel that Awen really likes and is good at writing about ancient times. I think the biggest feature and difference of this article is that it really revolves around the search for the "Secret of Immortality" and the No Suspicion Sword. It really has been writing about Jianghu. It really sets up a lot of suspense. I didn't expect to create so many characters with distinctive and different personalities. Many people are really both good and evil, and some were originally bad guys from a cult, but after seeing the final little setting, I suddenly felt that everyone was cute. Many people are clearly decent characters, but they also have selfish motives. Some people are clearly villains, but they also have pitiable qualities that make people cry. Xiao Qi is also different from what I thought. When I read it, I didn't expect the reason why he wanted to die before, nor did I expect that the two people's personalities are so contrasting. It's really surprising to see what I thought was a mysterious feud turn out to be the unexpected tragedy of tetanus. It may seem a bit abrupt, but it's really a novel little idea that is hard to think of. There are also some purely personal thoughts. I feel that the shortcomings are that there are too many characters and plots that make the beginning and ending a bit abrupt. For example, the story of Cheng Nian's family is very long at the beginning but rarely appears later. It just fluctuates repeatedly and then suddenly makes up its mind to leave. There are also some hints that I don't fully understand, such as Xiao Lingyu's last paragraph (maybe I am too stupid and I don't understand some of the plot...) And for some reason I always feel that the death of some people and the ending are a bit rushed... But the foreshadowing before and after is really good, and many of the secondary CPs are also very good, such as Qin Zheng and his wife and Gu's master and apprentice, especially Shen Yin, the CP pair are really wonderful, their appearance is unexpected, and the curtain call is embarrassing. If there is a chance, I hope to see the happy life of these two poor people in the if line. Finally, I always feel that my words are not expressive and I don't know how to express my inner thoughts. I hope you will forgive me if I make mistakes. Thank you Awen for taking three years to create this article. It is really not easy to serialize a long article, especially for such a long time span. It is difficult to maintain the idea and mood of writing. But Awen has been silently persisting, trying new things, and working hard to make progress. We can all see this! I also look forward to Awen producing more works in the future. I will always look forward to this ancient granary that I have been waiting for. I hope that the baby who sees the last page in reality and the baby in the book can be happy. Finished spreading flowers! Love you Awen❤️
It's been a long time since I read it, thank you Wenwen for presenting this story to us. Here are some of my personal thoughts - Qi Jiang's writing is very good, but I think the character design is still a little thin compared to the deputy CP (more Yin Huaishu). Seeing that Wenwen mentioned the origin of this book in the postscript, I gained a new and deeper understanding of Yin Huaishu. He is not purely evil and brings harm to the world, nor is he purely kind and gentle towards others. He is tangled and contradictory, just like me and us in reality. He confessed his life experience to Shen Zhiyan, but he was the one who avoided it. He pushed Shen Zhiyan away and left blood stains on his body to protect him. His attitude towards Shen Zhiyan is like, 'He is not escaping from the vicious hell on earth, but from the few loving eyes in the world.' This makes me always feel that he is alive and does not only exist in our minds. In the end, Jiang Li was prepared to be cut when he held the blade in his arms, and the same was true for Shen Zhiyan, but the blade was Qingyao and Yin Huaishu. In my opinion, this sentence has a pun meaning, but it doesn't matter, just look at my opinion [Cat Head]
I have rarely written reviews after reading books. This is the first time I have written a review. At first, I came across this book after reading Jun You Ji Fu, and because I was interested in the introduction, I started reading it. After two or three days, it was time to say goodbye to this Jianghu story. Let me talk about the title of the novel first. When I first saw "The Blade", I had an idea in my mind, even though you are a cold and sharp sword, I want to hold you in my arms. Let's talk about the rivers and lakes described by the author. What are the rivers and lakes? They are famous all over the world, and they compete for power and victory. There are grievances and hatreds, and whispers. Qi Chaoxi has been alone in the rivers and lakes for ten years. Jiang Li came out of the valley, curious about everything, and kept his heart of the world. He could listen carefully to Zhao Yue's emotional story when he met him for the first time. When Zhao Yue was isolated and helpless, he chose to trust her to find out the truth for her. When Wei Kebi tried to use dirty tricks, he had to teach him a lesson regardless of his own injury. When everyone in the world was chasing him for the secret of immortality, he still defended his world with all his life. His world was just like the "Keeping the Heart and Righteous Way" given to Jiang by various sects back then. There is also Cheng Juxian who went to the Western Regions to find his brothers, wives and children in order to make a promise, but his wife and children were separated. His world is a promise of gold. Qin Daxia was misunderstood and infamous by the world to save his brother. His world is a brotherly love. Meng Sifan could compete for justice but was injured in the eyes, but he never regretted it. He could also risk his own life and die with the enemy for the sake of his junior brother. After escaping from death and seeing Buyi Jian, he believed that this was his destiny. He had the obligation to lead everyone in the world to create a cult and correct the path. His world is justice. Shen Zhiyan was upright and righteous, but fell in love with Yin Huaishu, who had done all kinds of evil. However, during the war, he still chose to fight with everyone in the various sects first. He was struggling in his heart. He wanted to save this person but he also knew the anger of the people in the world, so he chose to be expelled from the sect and run away with his lover. His world is about love and justice. The author said that writing this book stemmed from his thinking about the world, and whether those who work for righteousness are worth it in the end. In fact, I think that wherever there are people, there is the world, and there is no such thing as worth it. Everyone has their own choice. Just like in the article, Qi Chaoxi is the questioner, and Jiang Li is the answerer. There is nothing worth mentioning, only As long as they abide by their true intentions, they are in a world, but we are a society here. In the society we live in, we will also have such questions, whether it is worth it for this person to do it, why he did it, etc. People are different. There is the true goodness of human nature and the ugliness of human nature. Just stick to your original intention and act according to your heart. Finally, I want to talk about the emotional line. I like Qi Jiang's emotional interaction very much. Qi Chaoxi walked towards Jiang Li firmly after confirming his own mind. However, Jiang Li was entangled in his body because of his life experience. His cowardly avoidance made Qi Chaoxi feel distressed and heartbroken. He pressed forward step by step. Jiang Li realized Qi Chaoxi's pain and sadness, and finally made a choice. From now on, no matter what the future may be, Jiang Li will be with you day and night. There is also the father-daughter relationship between Cheng Juxian and Cheng Nian, the love between Qin Daxia and Ruan Ning, the brother-in-law relationship between Meng Sifan, the family brotherhood between the three Shen brothers, the brother-sister relationship between Yin Huaishu and Yin Huairou, etc., Etc., They are all very delicate and rich. The most regrettable thing is Shen Yin, a naive thinker That carefree life was beautiful and sweet. He was deeply saddened by the time when he abandoned and forgot his sister, but at the same time he loved the person who gave him warmth and light. The most painful thing was that both of them knew that they could not die in peace with each other. In Prajna teaching, they were painful and happy. Finally, Ji Xiuming, his feelings for Jiang Yunruo, until the end, I still think that he is still the young man who had an affair with Jiang Yunruo. Everything he did stemmed from his misunderstanding of his adoptive father and Jiang Yunruo. His selfishness and cowardice made him suspicious but he did not dare to confront him. After he did something wrong, he did not dare to face him and just wanted to escape. Although he has many shortcomings and human weaknesses, in fact, I can see my own shadow in him, as in a Jianghu man. I don't know what the author was thinking when he wrote it. When I see them, I can think of my style of doing things in life, my emotional changes, my views on people and my thoughts on human nature. Finally, I would like to thank the author for taking three years to create such a world, which contains blood and tears, joy and sorrow. Everyone in the world, see you in the world!

Awen is so good at writing, the writing is so flavorful, and the completeness and coordination are handled very well. Also, Awen does not write many articles, but all of them have the foundation of mature online writing, which is amazing. In fact, I have never quite understood the concept of whether the rhythm is good or not, but here, I completely feel it. The main plot of "The Blade" is very clear, and the mixed subplots and copies are just right, so you won't feel tired at all. Furthermore, the content is detailed and relaxed, and so much can be written in just one hundred chapters. This is not only a concise summary of the plot, the highlights are detailed, and the cutscenes are omitted, but also Awen is very good at leaving blanks. Many things are left unsaid, but people feel more subjectively. The rhythm is endless, it is too strong. We should also praise Awen's fighting, it's so exciting. It's not the kind of action scenes that just slash and kill with a few strokes, but a real, exciting and interesting fight. She won't write about situations where one side is overwhelming the other. Whether it's about equal or disparity in strength, you can always see that the stronger one will make mistakes, the lower strength one will also have highlights, and the even strength ones will go back and forth, and the writing style is really very martial arts style, so refreshing. Martial arts is actually quite suitable for group portraits. The world is chaotic and there are two factions of good and evil. In the final analysis, it is just selfish desires. This is true. Therefore, in Awen's writing, you can hate a character very much, but as the plot gradually unfolds, you will feel pity and sympathy. The complexity of emotions and the contradiction between pursuit and reality are vividly depicted. Moreover, Awen is really good at leaving blank spaces. The blank spaces are very flavorful and strong in writing. You can completely feel the connotations of compulsion, regret, etc. Buried under the rivers and lakes. These are never black and white, but they are infinitely emotional and thought-provoking. The emotional scenes are also very good, and I'm really obsessed with this type of CP recently. Here, you can watch the whole drama, the most emotionally stable two people falling in love, whatever misunderstandings are flying across the rivers and lakes, whatever grudges are deep-rooted, whatever regrets are too late, whatever fate is gone, all of them are taken off by me. We 77 Libao focuses on a healthy love, which starts from the ordinary details in daily life and makes the heart flutter, and finally embraces each other's wounds and shortcomings, and moves towards the uncertain future together. Moreover, between the two of them, one is a max-level boss who has been clearing dungeons for ten years alone in the world, and the other is a boss who is in seclusion and has reached the maximum level of force. Does no one really want to see two highly intelligent and emotionally stable bosses fall in love? ? !
It looks good, but there doesn't seem to be that much sugar.
Qi Jiang 99, thank you for your hard work!
