   Curator note

   The novel incorporates the original concept of the Tower of Babel into the Harry Potter universe, and the plot and writing are quite good. The early parts are a bit angsty for the male protagonist, a typical example of someone with a wealthy lifestyle but lacking emotional support. Harry is somewhat out of character, portrayed by the author as a melancholic and sentimental bottom.

   A spin-off of Harry Potter, this is a Voldemort rebirth story, where the author amplifies Voldemort's character charm to the extreme. The main couple is Abu, with several other lovers harboring one-sided feelings for each other. I'll also briefly mention another Voldemort rebirth story, *The Demon King Who Survived a Great Calamity*, which is currently locked in red, but it's also quite good.

   The writing is very contemporary; the seme is mysterious, elegant, and powerful, like a graceful Eastern figure in Western works. In the seme, I saw Yao Sulin from Sherlock and Li Yuelong from Bananafish. The seme is an iceberg by day and a succubus by night, hopelessly attracting the uke. This is a 1v1 story, a mutual redemption. The seme, as a protector, pulls the uke out of drug addiction, while the uke helps the seme overcome his daytime social anxiety. The uke is thrilled by the seme's controlling nature, and the seme is attracted by the uke's dazzling brilliance. Warnings: The uke has a history of promiscuity; there are oral sex scenes between the seme and uke.

   The narrative flows smoothly, and the system setting is unconventional. Each world's story consists of only a dozen or so chapters, but the stories are complete and the characters are well-developed. The protagonist is handsome, dashing, and a powerful, domineering type, making him incredibly charismatic. Okay, now that we've covered the pros, let's talk about the cons. Perhaps because it's an older story, there are a lot of minor flaws. It's like a mix of sweetness and scum, like the protagonist transmigrating into the body of someone with an unclean genital, and the lack of intense revenge on the scumbags. What's most infuriating is that the worst scumbag protagonist wasn't immediately dealt with, and he had so much screen time that he was like an unkillable cockroach. Although the protagonist was changed in the end, it was still very frustrating to watch.

    Curator note

    A historical romance novel with excellent plot and writing, it's a very enjoyable read. It depicts a life of carefree romance and adventure. The protagonist is a loyal and righteous person at heart, yet most of the time he is cold and aloof, occasionally casting a cold smile at the world. He is lazy and unrestrained, possessing an irresistible charm in every gesture. He is beautiful and self-aware, and possesses the corresponding wealth and status. One aspect I particularly appreciate about this book is that after everything settles down, the protagonist changes his name back to Wu Jiaoyang, his name from before his transmigration. He no longer lives for anyone else, but for himself. Warning: Two out of the five submissive characters treat the protagonist badly and are not worthy of him.

    First of all, it's very novel, offering a unique perspective on a reborn individual from the viewpoint of an unsuspecting person. The writing style has an archaic feel, is concise, and leans towards a serious drama. The foreshadowing is well-done, gradually revealing the truth of what happened back then. The protagonist is pampered, and the genuine affection between the two is incredibly touching.

    Curator note

    The perspective is unclear, but it's actually more of an attack perspective. This is a story I read quite a while ago; the pacing isn't great, but the writing style is quite good. In a hazy, ambiguous state, a tender, unspoken affection, like cheese stretching, arose between the two. Before they even realized it, an inexplicable strangeness lingered between them. The dominant one, realizing it first, began a life of unrequited love, a love that was both tangible and painfully hidden, yet painfully suppressed. The submissive one, fierce and arrogant in other ways, was a pure and honest fool when it came to matters of the heart. When that pair of clear, brown eyes, tinged with a hint of emerald, stared directly at him, the dominant one felt a complex mix of emotions. When did their brotherly relationship begin to deteriorate? It was probably on that night in a foreign land, when the submissive dreamed of a snake coiling around the dominant's waist, tightening and creating wrinkles in his clothes, or perhaps it was the teeth marks the dominant left on the submissive's neck. The tone is one of mutual pampering, but not the kind of pampering that involves romantic love; it's the kind of pampering that involves mutual care. The bottom is a rough person who doesn't mince words, while the top is thoughtful and doesn't show his emotions easily. The ensemble cast and war descriptions are equally outstanding; each character is vivid and, though not perfect, their joys and sorrows are all woven into the narrative.

    In the author's writing, the male lead's personality has a slightly sadistic feel, haha. He's done too many transmigration missions, causing him to lose all his morals, yet he also possesses a kind of innocent naivety. Overall, it's quite enjoyable, but the biggest problem is that he doesn't have much chemistry with the main character; instead, his interactions with the Grim Reaper and the Buddha are much more appealing.

    Similar to "My Ex is Courting Death," both stories involve encountering the target after completing a conquest mission, creating an exceptionally chaotic and survival-driven environment.

    It's an ancient, massive undertaking, but the author writes it so well. A subtle melancholy permeates the writing style, making it very distinctive. It depicts the protagonist's experiences of love in different worlds, blending Chinese and Western elements, and still feels fresh even today. The protagonist starts out aloof and powerful, gradually shedding some of his ruthlessness, leaving behind gentle tenderness. But beneath each different exterior lies the same soul, shining brightly, just as his name suggests.

    I've read it three times already. Even though the main political intrigue isn't particularly compelling, the writing is only average to above average, and the romance develops relatively late, it still has a certain magic that makes it impossible to put down, leaving you with a warm feeling. Perhaps it's because it's a story about a heartbroken person finding peace again. The male lead disregards his own life, going mad while simultaneously trying to heal the dynasty, thankfully the emperor falls for his clumsy flattery. The female lead initially has a one-sided passion, but later his friendship with the male lead slowly changes, with the female lead pursuing and pampering the male lead. The male lead also cherishes this sincere affection, gradually opening up his trust, and watching their interactions is truly heartwarming.

    Five stars. This is a repost from Hengheng, originally on HT. The writing and plot are smooth, a typical leveling-up story, and surprisingly down-to-earth even in a cultivation setting. I really like the seme's personality; he seems carefree but is actually very reliable. While diligently cultivating, he maintains the demeanor of a mortal, unlike typical cultivators who are detached from worldly affairs. The seme and uke are a healthy, ambitious, and morally upright couple who support each other through many years. The uke is a gentle and refined gentleman who, once he falls in love, is completely devoted to the seme, and has broken many barriers for him. While the world-building isn't entirely detailed, it's already quite grand and interesting. The way the mortal realm, cultivation realm, and celestial realm are connected is fascinating, and the city-state system is surprisingly the same in both the mortal and celestial realms—though I know the author's focus isn't on this, it's still a bit of a disappointment. The main story ends abruptly at a satisfying point, and the side stories, spanning dozens of chapters, explain everything that needed to be explained. It's a satisfying read overall, and very enjoyable.

    This is a very satisfying read. The male lead, in today's terms, is a seemingly innocent but actually cunning, highly intelligent, antisocial, and charming character. The pairing is 1vN, with some subtle tropes and explosive tension. The male lead manipulates those around him with his multifaceted acting skills, while his spoiled and domineering behavior when alone with his younger brother is also endearing. The plot has no loopholes, the suspense is cleverly designed, the pacing is tight, and it's a good read.

    Curator note

    It's been a long time since I've read something so thoroughly enjoyable. If the author hasn't undergone systematic writing training, their talent for language is truly remarkable. The author skillfully uses concise actions and expressions to depict character traits; initially, the deliberate descriptions are noticeable, but later they become seamless. The protagonist, born into a feudal family, is submissive and timid as a member of the lower class, making him frustratingly weak. Yet, he gradually develops a resilience like a willow branch, along with a decisive ruthlessness. The protagonist and Naoya have an almost pathological attachment to each other; the seme might even love him more than Naoya himself (so those with a strong preference for seme-centric characters shouldn't read this; I'm only reading because the writing is good, and I can overlook any potential issues). Past experiences have shaped the protagonist into a complex person. Extreme love, extreme hate, and effortless teasing and manipulation are all evident in the protagonist. In today's JJ (a Chinese online literature platform), few works can write such engaging smut; the interactions between the protagonist and several characters are very tense, sparking with chemistry. Fans of twins shouldn't miss this!

The uke is far superior to the seme in age, maturity, and other aspects, and is more dominant in the relationship, with the seme only reciprocating later. The seme's fear, resistance, and contemplation as an ordinary person facing a superhuman being like a vengeful ghost are portrayed with great detail and realism. Mo Rugui's romance is, as always, incredibly sizzling and steamy, but occasionally I see echoes of the seme from another book in the uke, which is quite frustrating. Warning: The extra chapters, which include a cute wife as the bottom, disgusted me.

    Curator note

    This is my number one Narcissus novel! The emotional tension between the two protagonists is immense, and the portrayal of the protagonist's inner conflicts is superb and delicate. An older person is reborn into a new body and encounters their ten-year-younger self. This is a story of mutual redemption and healing. The protagonist, looking at his ten-year-younger self, is sometimes moved by his goodness and sometimes annoyed by his foolish actions. As the two get along, the protagonist gradually reconciles with himself and becomes more tolerant; the protagonist also gradually sheds his immaturity and pulls himself out of the mire of the past. The two kiss on their "first meeting," which shocked me the first time I read it. They kiss and hug frequently afterward, so those who like physical contact are in for a treat. The characters are well-developed, the pacing is tight, and the plot is a bit melodramatic—the two are entangled and separated for a long time, only to find that they have no morals (just kidding). A minor grudge: The author secretly edited the text and removed the red lock, and two years ago, they secretly uploaded three new bonus chapters somewhere. I wouldn't have seen them if I hadn't suddenly wanted to come back and reread it. PS: Damn Jinjiang, they're acting up again and won't give me a 5-star rating.

    The male protagonist is aloof and powerful, with a detached humanity who finds amusement in "teasing people," and only a handful of people serve as the precarious threads binding his humanity. The character portrayals are brilliant, and the background setting and world-building are incredibly detailed; the author seems to be a meticulous researcher, which I greatly admire. The smut is also very appealing; whether it's incest, the relationship with five cats, or other characters, each is written with a distinct style. The way Yuuhito is tormented by his wicked older brother, whom he trusts completely, is truly delightful. I've always felt that male and female authors write BL (Boys' Love) differently, mainly due to different perspectives and feelings; male authors' writing is probably more realistic. P. S.: The pan-fried extra chapters are so delicious!

    Curator note

    Five stars! The writing flows like clouds and water, the language is exquisite and naturally crafted, the plot is unique and captivating, with occasional moments of humor that bring a smile to the reader's face. After reading this book, my own writing seems to have benefited a bit, and I couldn't help but write more neatly :). The author's writing has a certain charm, with a touch of classical elegance, which is fine, but the plot is even better. The protagonist is carefree and innocent at the beginning, but as the world weakens, he suddenly encounters a change of fortune, and the world changes drastically. He starts cultivating from scratch, and the cultivation method must be the author's ingenuity, as he actually enters the path of cultivation through emotion, absorbing worldly feelings, which is a departure from the trope of sword cultivators being ruthless. By chance, he is sheltered by the Zhen family, and the relationships within are complex. Some of the plot points resonate with me, and I have some insights into them. The author truly brings the characters to life. Several characters who interact with the protagonist are portrayed with meticulous detail and sharp critique. The relationships between the protagonist, his senior brother, the fox, and Xie Yan are all very engaging. However, the protagonist is oblivious, only vaguely understanding his senior brother's obsession, the fox's feelings, and Xie Yan's infatuation. The most despicable act is the fox's underhanded tactics—using a love potion! Whether this forced union will be sweet remains to be seen (we'll see when the author fills in the gaps). Aside from romance, the familial relationships are also heartwarming; the scene at Dongzhen Ruins almost brought me to tears. What I admire most is the grand world-building—the Nine Realms, and we've only explored two of them so far. Xiao Jiang is in his prime, a time with great potential, but it's a pity the novel ends abruptly—what a pity!

    Curator note

    The world-building is grand and the setting is novel. While the typical Zerg setting features a "male-dominated, female-subordinate" hierarchy, the male Zerg, lacking real power, is more like a kept woman. The plot involves three intertwined storylines; is the male lead's "rebirth" truly a rebirth? The early background descriptions are somewhat stiff, and the plot development isn't particularly strong, but it improves significantly later on. These flaws don't detract from the overall quality.

    Five stars. Absolutely perfect!! The author's writing is delicate yet powerful, depicting profound meaning from the ordinary. The characters seem to have stepped out of the foggy medieval city, portraying not only love but also a collective portrait. Wayne and Ansel's passionate yet delicate kiss seems to fall into an endless sunset, transforming into a bright, sun-facing flower blooming against the perpetually gloomy fog of the city. A niche gem, truly exceptional!

    This is a lighthearted, fast-paced story, not suitable for close reading. The entire cast is filled with villains, engaging in fierce power struggles and chaotic battles – a thrilling spectacle. One-click access allows you to see the protagonist effortlessly controlling and training the "dog" (a term for a seemingly innocent but actually manipulative character). It's not a traditional "scumbag protagonist" story; the protagonist feigns weakness but possesses abilities like hypnosis, remaining completely untouched by romantic entanglements. The ending has no romantic partner.

    The reason why Gong became so popular wasn't primarily due to his appearance; more important were his character, his refinement, and his personal charm. Gong was like an unattainable medieval oil painting, fresh and elegant yet lacking in bold, dramatic color contrasts.

    Five stars. The writing is superb! It's practically the pinnacle of serious fiction, with a broad perspective (both domestic and international), telling the story of a regent steering a crumbling empire through trials and tribulations. The writing style is characterized by a multitude of events unfolding in a complex and multifaceted manner, rather than a single, disjointed thread. Of course, the romance is also fantastic! The on-screen chemistry between Old Li and Old Wang, a seemingly old married couple, is incredibly intense, and the most captivating scene is surprisingly uncensored! One caveat is that there are too many side couples, which can be a bit tiring to read.
