   One star. It's hard to give it a realistic rating. The modern body odor setting is a bit awkward, the sports school thing is also awkward, and the male lead himself is awkward too. Boring.

2. 2 表 My Cousin Finds Me So Alluring 表哥见我多妩媚 Yiren Kui Kui伊人睽睽Romance1.0M WordsCompleted Notice: I’m taking January 25 off, which is tomorrow. No update! A pretend cousin romance: “I may become a bandit, but I’ll make you Empress.” From the moment low-ranking Li Xin first saw his cousin, Lady Wuyang, he began to adore her. When he was at his most lowly, he declared, “You might not like hearing this, but I want to tell you I like you.” The Lady thought every day: Have you no shame?! How bold of you to dare pursue me!

   4.5 The plot was okay, the emotional portrayal was deep and delicate, and I cried a lot while watching it. The ending was a happy ending with a sad ending.

   3.5 Stars. It was still enjoyable, considering I stayed up several nights in between, but after watching it, I felt there wasn't much to savor.

   3.5 Stars. It was originally a sweet story, sweet from beginning to end, and quite enjoyable. The only downside was the main plot faltering a bit towards the end. I prefer angst, so I'm deducting 0.5 Stars.

   3.5 Stars. The book has very obvious strengths and weaknesses. The car scenes are exciting, but the plot is verbose, so I'm deducting 0.5 Stars.

   I preferred the second life; the third was more exciting. I definitely still prefer the restrained style. Some of the jokes were still fresh, like the ox plowing the field and exhausting itself, haha.

9. 9 恰 Just as the Rain Kept Falling 恰逢雨连天 Chen Xiaozhi沉筱之Romance926k WordsCompleted [Announcement: I've opened preorders for A Lantern in Your Brow.

   Okay, another forced happy ending. Thank goodness it ended; it was too painful.

10. 10 黑 The Black Lotus Manual [Book Transmigration] 黑莲花攻略手册[穿书] White Feather Drawing a Carved Bow白羽摘雕弓Romance439k WordsCompleted The Black Lotus has been published in print. The author's latest work, Reborn and Married to My Nemesis, is currently serializing in the author's profile. This world is overrun by monsters, and it's the perfect place for heroes and heroines to make their legends. Too bad you're not the pure, noble heroine or the pampered, highborn villainess. You're the universally hated third female extra. In the original story, she has a crush on the male lead, plots against the heroine, and spends her whole 1.3MFavorites1.4MClicks/ch650.9kGifts

    Curator note

    It's good! The romance between the male and female leads develops gradually, but it's a bit of a shame that the "black lotus" (a seemingly innocent but actually ruthless character) never truly turns evil; it wasn't exciting enough.

    Wei Jie's character design is amazing, the best one recently! I didn't feel any angst at all. I even took their imprisonment as a bit of fun. It got really sweet later on!
