   Curator note

   Regardless of the story, Yu Zong's male and female protagonists share a common underlying tone. They're roughly 60% similar, plus about 40% individuality. The female lead is invariably playful and witty, while the male lead is invariably gentle, mild-mannered, and infinitely tolerant. Their interactions are always characterized by constant bickering and playful banter. This aspect feels somewhat bland. The world-building this time is grand, but the descriptions are insufficient; the framework is established, but the details lack depth, feeling rushed and superficial. However, the ending is quite good overall, much better than the one in the Great Wilderness story—there's food and drink, dreams, and even a chance to meet in reality.

   It feels like starting the game afresh with a max-level character. It's not even about pretending to be weak anymore; one powerful stunt and all the monsters cower. Aside from that slightly awkward point, the writing is pretty good. The scene where you dig out your own brain and internal organs when you're feeling down is quite funny, haha. The room-cleaning quest system really feels like a game. You can check it out when you're bored.

   It's a bit of a shame about this novel. The author could have easily continued writing based on this IP. Each story in this quick transmigration novel is quite good and addictive. It's been a long time since I've seen a novel where the satisfying parts haven't even started yet, leaving me feeling frustrated and angry. Each story's quirks are truly bizarre. If the author could keep writing, I feel like there could be many more, perhaps even a second or third book. It's much better than that other quick transmigration novel that cost tens of millions, which even had the protagonist entering the Hall of Eternal Life. (I think the Hall of Eternal Life is gone now? I can't find it.) It's a novel worth reading again. The theories in it are quite good, such as loving yourself and the importance of making money to live. Seeing the female lead's retirement-like life after getting over eight million in anger after her first quick transmigration was really enviable! It's more concrete and enviable than the retirement life described by bloggers on Weibo. Maybe not working really does reduce anxiety. However, there are two slightly strange points. The ordinary female lead suddenly becomes a main god. It's acceptable to grow slowly, but growing into the main god of the system is a bit insulting to intelligence. Secondly, the description of the system is strange, feeling somewhat disconnected. Srds, it's still worth watching a second time.

   The premise is a bit quirky: people from the lower city in a post-technological era are tricked by people from the upper city into entering a magical world, but disguised as survivors of natural disasters. Living through these disasters day after day is somewhat interesting. However, only the first few chapters, when digging for treasure chests to obtain resources, truly feel like a disaster-themed story. After that, it becomes about using your brain to outwit the system. It's not bad, but I was mainly drawn in by the disaster theme, only to find the filling didn't match the packaging, which was a bit disappointing. Although the filling itself is interesting, I didn't want to eat this kind of filling! The setting is quite interesting, with witches, black gold sheep, messengers, deer spirits, and even a seven-colored deer. The final resolution—the false god accepting the true god's theory, the sisters separating—is a bit hard to explain. The logic is clear, but it feels a bit out of character.

   I've been wondering what score to give it since I read around chapters 30 or 40. To me, it's overrated. The plot is mediocre, and the political intrigue is terrible. It's grand in scale, but the characters are strange. I haven't read a book this slowly in a long time; it took me about a month to finish over two million words. I kept forgetting to reread it. Of all the major and minor plot points, only a handful of smaller stories were truly interesting, like the rescue of the leader. But even those stories were rather bland. And the female lead's portrayal in the latter half, with its political intrigue, is odd. She despises imperial power yet uses it. While she doesn't actually use it for herself, it still feels like she's playing both sides. I don't know why the female lead has to suffer emotional trauma and refuse to have children; it feels forced. There are many strange points; the author tries to create a grand narrative but fails to live up to it. So, I'll give it 3.8. (I was initially thinking of giving it 4.2... This is truly the only book whose rating I keep changing as I read it. There are so many flaws, and what was that part about after she returned to reality?! She wants to die just because she's back in the present?! Who would want to die after time-traveling back?! Her parents treated her so well. She finally came back and now she wants to die?! All for a guy?!)

   I haven't read this book, but I want to review another book by the same author, *Liang Chen Mei Jin*. If it weren't for the film adaptation, I wouldn't know these two authors are the same person. *Liang Chen Mei Jin* was written on Qidian, but it's a rebirth novel with a strong Jinjiang (a Chinese online literature platform) feel. While reading, I felt the writing style and values ​​were a bit outdated; checking the writing date, it was around 2014. A 3.2 Rating is sufficient; it's too long, too bland, and not very heartwarming. It has a feeling of a peaceful, idyllic spring day, but there are too many inexplicable and cluttered details, resulting in a consistently flat emotional tone. Removing the irrelevant and tedious details would improve the story. In my opinion, the romance up to the male lead's marriage proposal was quite good. I forgot the novel's title and thought the male lead was Ye Xian, even considering breaking up the couple. But after marriage, it wasn't so good. The descriptions of the two being indifferent were boring, even the misunderstandings and resolutions were tedious. The author gave the female lead a huge advantage; three men liked her. Sigh, I'm too old to read stories with so many men liking the female lead anymore. Especially since it's a stepson-stepmother relationship. It's a bit against moral principles, slightly uncomfortable. The protagonist, reborn, most wants to save his mother, but she still has second thoughts, emmm, quite funny. However, it's still quite a story, with some very fun and interesting plots, just too few, like finding diamonds in sand. Sigh, I want to drop the book but I also want to see how the female lead keeps the male lead alive. PS, this book always reminds me of Xiang Da's "Survival Manual of a Concubine's Daughter," it's practically the pinnacle of this kind of domestic intrigue and male-female entanglement. They love each other but know they can't marry due to class differences, so they firmly refuse, and in the end, he marries his legitimate sister. Later, the legitimate sister is murdered and suffers severe bleeding during childbirth, and her righteousness exposes the incident, resulting in her being married off again by her family. Sigh, just thinking about it is exciting. But it's too heavy; I didn't dare read that story a second time after reading it once. Judging from the reviews, it seems Wen's writing level has remained the same, without much change. But it's still impressive that she's managed to deliver. However, it's only now that a novel from ten years ago is being adapted into a film or television series, so it's bound to be quite terrible, considering how much the ideas have changed. It'll probably only appeal to fans and children.

   Four and a half stars! The core of this book is so good. When I read it back then, the last chapter wasn't locked yet, and I had to search for it on the website to read it on my second read. Could you please lock the book and refund my money for this one? This book is worth reading many times. And it's a no-romance story, which is so great! It's practically an awakening story; the female protagonist resists persuasion, resolutely refusing to become a traditional sissy, "Give me liberty or give me death." The only regret is that it's too short; I wish it could go on forever. But it's just a minor regret; this book is truly phenomenal. Over 300,000 words covering ten worlds—that's amazing.

   Three and a half stars. The metaphysical content described is quite interesting, but it's a bit short. I dislike stories like this the most near the end; it feels like all these kinds of stories have some plot holes or something, making them feel unnatural. This is the third BL story I've read, and I can accept it, but I don't feel it has to be BL; it doesn't have that "must be unique" quality. Also, the romance is written rather poorly; people just like each other inexplicably and get together. I hope future stories like this will have more metaphysical and mystical content!

    From three stars to three and a half stars. The biggest flaw in this book for me is that the beginning is too ambitious, and it keeps building up to that level, making it tiring to read and eventually unreadable. It's a male-male romance, so the romantic aspects are bearable, but the fact that each subordinate has two identities and transforms into a villain is really frustrating. I only joined the department and appointed three people, and they all slowly turned into villains. Ugh, so tiring!

    Three and a half stars. This story is quite magical. The non-VIP parts are written in a very simplistic and enjoyable style, with rather ordinary cases—mostly familiar tropes from online novels or other works. However! Once the VIP section begins, the writing becomes more refined, the story becomes more vivid and engaging, and the cases become more interesting. Almost every chapter presents a case, and the cases are interconnected without any abrupt transitions. As a result, it took me almost a day and a night to finish this book. One key element is the suspense: the constant appearance of villains keeps you wondering when the final boss will appear. I initially thought it would be similar to some of Kaneko's previous works, where the protagonist levels up and faces villains, with the entire plot revolving around a final showdown. But this one is different. The protagonist is diligently studying at university, and the cases he encounters are quite interesting (which is the most important thing for me!!). A minor drawback is that while the boss is portrayed as quite endearing, the overall character development is insufficient, making the story feel somewhat thin and lacking depth. Personally, I prefer novels where every character is well-developed and believable. The descriptions of feng shui and physiognomy use quite professional terminology, and the interrogations and case progression are also well done. The plot flows smoothly after the paid subscription period, though the character development weakens a bit, but it's worth a second viewing. A third viewing probably isn't necessary. It's a blend of metaphysics and detective fiction.

    No romance, transmigration into a book, characters with innate superpowers and mental abilities, three children who are all villains, and the story of how they eventually become emperors. But this novel really feels like it was abandoned mid-story, a precipitous ending. Even the last few chapters were only written at the request of fans. When I was about 80-90% through, I was puzzled. At that point, the story had only progressed to the point of leaving the small mountain village. Logically, the progress should have been around one-third or one-half, since the three main characters were only fourteen or fifteen years old. To change the tragic ending, shouldn't they have written another 400,000 to 500,000 words? But they didn't. So many years have passed... And they've only briefly written about it before becoming emperors emeritus. The good part is that the interactions and praise between the characters and the children are very sweet; the early descriptions are really detailed! So the ending is really hard to accept.

The logic is quite strong, and it's good at foreshadowing. Perhaps because I've read too many novels, some of the foreshadowing I could spot was a bit annoying. But it's worth reading.

    It's okay to read to kill time. It's pure wish-fulfillment fiction, with an incredibly powerful female lead who can defeat enemies in an instant. The villains all seem like idiots. And every story ends with the protagonist regretting how she treated the female lead, blah blah blah. It feels a bit formulaic. But you'll always want to see what the next story will be like, and what other bizarre things will happen.

27. 27 岁 Peace Year After Year 岁岁平安 Laughing Beauty笑佳人Romance1.1M WordsCompleted During the spring plowing season, Tong Sui got married in a hurried, haphazard fashion. Her husband’s family lived twenty li away, and Tong Sui had never been there. She had never met the man who had been away performing military service for six years, either. She had only heard that he was so fierce that even local ruffians wouldn’t dare provoke him. On the eve of her wedding, a scholar from next door had tried to elope with her. Tong Sui refused. She liked the scholar’s gentle manners, but sh 359.4kFavorites660.8kClicks/ch747.3kGifts

    I'd give it two and a half stars. It's a slow-paced, slice-of-life story. But I don't like the male lead. Although he's portrayed as brave and a hero, he's constantly driven by lust, wanting to have sex every single day—it's annoying! He wants sex on nights he's injured, and even on nights he's killed someone? What, can't he sleep without sex? I quite like the female lead. The male lead's treatment of her doesn't seem very sincere. I considered dropping the story because of the male lead, but I stayed to see how things develop for both him and the female lead. I also don't like the height difference between the male lead (over 1.9 Meters) and the female lead (1.65 Meters). The female lead is always portrayed as petite and dependent. I prefer a male lead who is more evenly matched with his female counterpart and respects true love with sincerity. Because of this book, my reading list has become a C-level. I think I read about a fifth of it before giving up.

    This is one of the most enjoyable books I've read in recent years. What's enjoyable is the female protagonist's unconventional approach and thinking. She's bold, meticulous, and intelligent; fearless and resilient in the face of setbacks. She might act recklessly, but she doesn't die from it. There's some suspense, but it's not too scary. You might learn something from it.

    Every book by Xiang Da is excellent. What I admire most is that each of her modern novels covers a different industry, yet she writes about them all with such conviction, as if she were a professional in the field. She's prolific and of high quality.

    I initially thought it was a quick transmigration story, but it turned out logically coherent in the end. To be honest, though, I can't quite remember the plot.

    This is one of my absolute favorite books. It's my absolute favorite of all of Wei Yu's books. Every chapter is a great story; Zhan Zhao is loyal and righteous, and Duanmu Cui has a chivalrous heart. It's a bit of a suspense story. The ending is wonderful!
