Judging from the content, it's probably around 2-3x quality, since it's a very old story, a free one, and the current internet trends are different, so it might feel a bit out of place.

2 被 I’m Called the Demon King, So I Have No Choice but to PK the Savior 被称为魔王的我无可奈何只好去PK救世主 Wu Shi雾十Danmei (BL)16k WordsCompleted A short story published in a magazine. Its original title was "The Cute and Charming Villain." But personally, I prefer the current title, which sums up the whole story in one sentence: "Called the Demon King, I Have No Choice but to PK the Savior." P.S. ...There was also another chapter that I accidentally drew because I pressed the button wrong _(:з"∠)_. I didn't know what to do with it, so I added another short story.

It's a shame that the content after they get together is limited to just one forum answer. The early plot feels more like opening a blind box; each time you think you're seeing his true form only to find out it isn't, and then the true form is left ambiguous. It's still watchable.

It's a 2x story, a rather old-fashioned one that's hard to read through, but it's okay for a bit of imaginative thinking.

Curator note

The 3x plot has some overly sentimental and convoluted parts. However, the main character's personality is very appealing. There's a slight avoidance of conflict; some love triangle scenes are left unresolved due to the protagonist's sudden memory recovery, weakening the overall tension. But the pure, idealized protagonist is still enjoyable (although some plot points are a bit frustrating and convoluted, they don't significantly detract from the overall experience).

A classic danmei (boy's love) story, a love that's so intense it's almost painful. It's well-written, with vivid imagery, consistent character development, and a compelling narrative that beautifully portrays the journey from initial suspicion and hesitation to genuine affection. The emotions are also very infectious. Aside from the somewhat old-fashioned and melodramatic plot (which isn't a major flaw in danmei), it's quite good.

Sweet and sour lemon candy, so beautiful. Although it's a short story, the two characters are very well-developed. The protagonist is kind, gentle, and resilient. His pampered upbringing as a young nobleman means he expresses his emotions directly, which is why he hates the culprit who caused his beloved's suffering so intensely. Knowing everything, and aware that his family suffered unfairly because of the blame, his naive, subconscious attempt to make amends is kindness. Therefore, even when his family falls on hard times, he feels no resentment, only guilt – also kindness. His gradual transition from a pampered young master to an ordinary life after the family's misfortune is a testament to his resilient growth. The other protagonist, needless to say, possesses a strong and resilient character from a young age. He protects even those who have hurt him. He clearly understands the duality of good and evil in the protagonist's father; he's not someone with only extreme emotions, but rather leans towards good. He won't punish himself for others' evil; he strives to improve himself, especially in relationships where his commitment is unwavering. He understands the protagonist's tendency to avoid things and will pull him out of the shadows to face the light together. The romance is compelling because of two things: their unwavering commitment to each other and the fact that after five years of growth, the seme has become a reliable support, while the uke has become strong enough to no longer need support. They came together not out of need, but because of their deep and inseparable love, allowing them to overcome misunderstandings and stand together. If they hadn't separated, the uke's supposed "non-dramatic" acceptance of everything would have been nothing but self-deception, lacking the responsibility of adulthood. The seme's improved qualities have made the uke still the same young master, sweet and doting, but no longer the kind, resilient, and guilty person he once was. I really like the current plot development. There will be no next five years, because they solved everything at the best possible time, and no one needs to wait.

3 Stars. The carved vase is exquisite on the outside but hollow inside; the writing is overly ornate, but the core story is rather simple. The protagonist initially possesses a cultivated charm and elegance, but later becomes overly affected and pretentious. The female characters are poorly designed, conveying an arrogant sense of patriarchal society where the dominant partner is equated with men, the protagonist with a modern woman, and women are considered even lower in status. Aside from that, the story is passable, and the vase has aesthetic value.
