Million-Word Plot-Driven Epics
Long, million-word-plus novels I've subscribed to, mostly plot-driven and with unlimited-flow settings. Any pairing is fine: BL, BG, or no romance. All complete, and I've read most of them.
BL with Shut-In or Sickly Characters
The characters really are ill, physically or mentally, not just being fussy. My personal rating scale: 5 stars for excellent writing and plot; 4 for above average; 3 for passing the time.
Infinite Flow / Horror Mystery / Mutual-Pampering BL
I'm not into power-trip stories. I prefer traditional stories where the characters struggle to get through life. For romance, I like couples who dote on each other. Background characters and Mary Sues are a hard no. Some popular picks, some hidden gems. Updated whenever.

Strong Bottoms / Ordinary-Person Bottoms / Handsome Bottoms / Infinite Flow, and More
No delicate, helpless beautiful bottoms, no overly idealized bottoms. Most of the bottoms have fairly normal personalities. I like snarky bottoms, strong bottoms, short-tempered handsome bottoms, and tops who feel nonhuman or vividly alive.

I finished reading this article and I really like it, but I really can't subscribe to it all. I don't like Xu Wang very much. It can be seen that the author is really partial to Xu Wang and uses a lot of plot words to portray him. However, the villain can be very bad but cannot be unlovable... I have always been a fan of Hopeless CP before, but from the moment he ate his brother, I no longer like Xu Wang. My friend said that Xu Wang has no love for his brother. He only wants to satisfy himself, so he will eat his brother. I still think a villain can be bad, but he can't have no bottom line. How to put it this way, if Xu Wang really wants to be such a villain, he can do it, but it would be too uncomfortable to be tied to a CP. On the other hand, if he is tied to a CP, he still has to have his own bottom line. This is a reader's opinion. No matter what he thinks, he will not like one of his CPs to destroy something that the other person cherishes. My brother deserves better, or as the author said, he showed up too late, so he couldn't save Xu Wan here. I feel that my brother is really miserable. I will always read this line as if I am interested in literature. I hope that my brother can be happy with me for ten years.
I can't accept it. Xu Wang's love is too disgusting. I never thought that I would be disgusted by the villain of an article and cry silently. He doesn't deserve to be with his senior brother, even if it is an if line. Let's talk about the main text first. After jumping again and again, my senior brother is not the senior brother in the first world, but! That is also a senior brother. Just because he can jump, knowing that there will be countless senior brothers, he will destroy him unscrupulously. Yes, Xu Wu is not a human, so he did such a disgusting thing. I hate this character, I hate his abnormal love, and I hate what he did to his senior brother. It is unforgivable and abominable. To the extreme, it hurts his family. Is his love worthy of being called love? In the extra chapter, the author gave him an if line to show a different life, but I still can't forgive it. Some people may think that since he is on the if line, those who have done things will not be counted and should have a chance. But I can't give it. What Xu Wang destroyed was not just a world, but how much? Oh, he can't even count them. How sincere he is to those senior brothers who have shown love to him in the destroyed world. Because he knows that he can jump, he doesn't cherish them. I feel heartache, I feel heartache. I feel sorry for what happened to senior brother. I feel sad for what happened to senior brother. If none of them happened, it would be fine. To start the world over again, what does that mean to the senior brother who was fucked on the bed, who was eaten, who was fucked like a star, and who was eaten while being fucked? He was unlucky and failed to meet Xu Wan who was redeemed by the IF line. What does this mean to those senior brothers?! He is so bad, and more importantly, disgusting. It disgusts me. Because I know what happened, I can't forgive him. Lying on the bed and typing the evaluation and final comments with tears in my eyes, I just want to ask the author one thing. When he made the villain so disgusting, did he consider the readers? 😭
After watching it, I was still very attracted to Xu Wan in the early stage (dog!!!!). The overall character is really fulfilling. If you don't eat the younger brother, you will still find it interesting!!!! (Although it is a bit offline...) But. . . . . .
Sometimes I really don't understand why I feel so angry while reading a book. It's not easy to find a novel that I think has a good look and feel. It's short and long, and it's quite enjoyable to read. It made me laugh and cry, and it made me laugh. I also think the characters are well-written, with logic, thoughts, stances, and choices. Overall, I think it's very good, but it's such a book. When I read it, I really wanted to read the paragraphs and commentaries, and I wanted to see what my fans shared. I don't know. I want to see their analysis of the plot, and I want to see that they like the cute points created by the author as much as I do. However, when I open the paragraph or comment area, they are like "the rhythm is poor, the process is slow", "I finally know why the rating is low, because the protagonist is still being beaten by the villain for so long", "how do you give so many descriptions of the villain", and so on. It made me feel good and bad, but I really thought it was well written. So sometimes the comments are on and off, but these people really leave me speechless, as if they think that the protagonist is so weak in the front, and he will immediately counterattack and slap him in the face later. The villain is so arrogant, and he will definitely die immediately and let the protagonist couple live a good life... This kind of people really completely ignore the author's background setting and the character's thinking logic. They are very suitable for the kind of group pet, brainless counterattack and other cool articles. You deserve it, Akaashi. This book is really written by a pretty good author. I read it when I was in the water, and I thought that book was pretty good, so I came to read the author's other books. I read two books, but I couldn't understand one of them (I didn't really get it) so I didn't read it. After finishing this book, it was really good. Because of the characters and the plot, I cried and laughed, feeling their feelings and hating their hatred (I can't express my feelings at the time of watching it, but it's probably like this). I like the little couple Tie Tie but also hate the main storyline of Xu Wanhen, but this is where I think the author has done a good job in shaping the characters. I also think the if line is good. In the other life after being rescued, Xu Wan can also live a normal life with his senior brother in the if line. Everything is good. So I say this book is really good. Whether it is world view or story line, it is at least in the top ten or even the top five among the few books I have read. I hope the author will not be hit or hurt by the comment section and can stick to his own writing style.
After reading it again, I still really like [Panda Head]. Mrs. [Panda Head] wrote about the void and emptiness very well!! I looked back at the comments I posted earlier, and every one of them was criticizing Xu Gou. Now after reading the extra, I feel that the best character my wife has created in this article is Xu Wan. His past has shaped his present (referring to the main text, not the if line) Think of this passage: If you stand in the position of childhood and look into the future, you will say that your future is uncertain, but if you stand at the end and see the trajectory of your life, you can only see one road, and you can only see one destined road. Xu Wang just follows his timeline, every turning point is his choice, and standing at the end and looking back at the past, that is his destined path! I have forgotten how angry I was when I was catching up on the update. All that settled down was sadness for Xu Wu. He kept begging for help but no one understood him and saved him. Even his senior brother did not fully understand his core in the text. I personally feel that Xu Wang is the best character portrayed in the entire article. Although he is terrible in the main article, it is undeniable that this character is very full!! I don't remember how angry I was with him when I was following the update, but I still clearly remember that the emptiness Xu Wang brought to me made me very uncomfortable. After reading it, I felt like I had eaten and felt full, but it was as if my stomach was full of air. The emptiness it brought me even made me feel like: What am I doing, why haven't I done anything meaningful, and why I wasted my time on myself. Empty. Especially in the scene where Xu Wan fucked his senior brother to death in bed, the void had a particularly big impact on me! I really like the character Xu Wang, even though he is a bad person (this does not mean that I am a real person, it only means that this character created in literary works is crazy and stacked. In the end, I still like Xu Juan and my senior brother. Regardless of the if or the main text, the main text does not deserve to be forgiven. I feel that if Xu Juan was dragged to death by his senior brother at the beginning, his senior brother would not be so disappointed. In the if line, Xu Wang is saved, and it is his other life. The author just gave Xu Wan another possibility, so I actually don't understand why everyone is saying that the wife is whitewashing Xu Wan. The author has never denied that Xu Wan is a bad person. I just wrote the follow-up under Xu Wang's other choice. What would happen if Xu Wang was good! I gave him everything, he's really good at cooking!!!! Compared with Xu Wang, I actually don't have much feelings for the protagonist. Jiang Yao has always given me a sense of widowhood (bushi), and Lu Zhi is more of a background, but it doesn't hinder me! In the original text! I drank a handful of narcissus! (At the beginning. 🥺 My wife is going to develop like Xu Wang!! It was really fun to write!!!!
I finally finished reading this book. I have kept it in my favorites for a long time. I accidentally opened it and couldn't stop reading. While I was reading, I kept thinking about what Lu Zhi would look like. There were not many descriptions of him and Jiang Yao in the initial world line, but those who read it felt very warm. Lu Zhi was always by his side, slowly returning him from an autistic person to a normal person. The companionship in this In terms of teaching, Lu Zhi is really a good guiding lover and teaches his lover very well. Jiang Yao is also really cute. He is ignorant and seduces Lu Zhi in all kinds of ways. He is so cute that he can't help but love him. In fact, I am not interested in reading this kind of world-saving novel, but I actually finished this novel without skipping a chapter. Apart from the protagonist, I like the character Qin Wuwei very much. He is cold on the outside but gentle on the inside. However, when he met the crazy critic Xu Wan, his love could not save Xu Wan from his depravity. In the final showdown in the final world line, his merciless bombardment of Xu Wan was too much. Without emotion, he was indifferent to Xu Wan's tears and pleas for help. Xu Wang deserved it, and he still wanted to become a god and be with his senior brother, which was a wishful thinking.
It was really good at the beginning, but it kind of fell apart in the later stages. I couldn't help but jump to the back to read the ending and extra chapters. I found that the author had a rough idea of the character design and ending, but it was too problematic when he started writing it around 150. Putting aside the frequent subjective evaluations of villains being too disgusting, after reading it in one go, I felt that the entire framework was messed up in the second part. Some of the plots in the chaos felt designed, but then I suddenly thought about writing something else. I finally understood why the writing style and settings were rated so high. I kind of designed some plots that I wanted to write, and the ending that I wanted to write, but I had no idea how to write it and how to get there. Some of the plots are good on their own, but similar ones appear repeatedly and make people feel like they are spinning in circles, as if the author loves the plot fragments and is reluctant to cut them out, and when they are finally put together, he simply stuffed them all in. At first, I saw that there was still a lot of ignition in the middle and late stages, but after seeing it repeated over and over again, I was basically relieved. It was probably because of the lack of control ability, but I was relieved. The short plot and setting felt aura and ideas, but the control of the long story was still somewhat insufficient. I hope the author will continue to work hard.
Only then did I realize that the name of this book has also been changed.
It's good to watch. I like the characters in it. Except for Xu Wan, I felt like I had a lump in my throat when I first watched it. I skipped him later.
I suddenly discovered that the name of this account has been changed...
