1 一 Determined to Make a Name for Myself 一心成名 Chen Ji陈戟Romance868k WordsCompleted A new book! My Next Life as Everyone’s Favorite is meant to be a lighthearted, silly campus story. The blurb is at the bottom. Qin You spent her whole life desperately wanting to be famous. But she was too ordinary-looking. After ten years playing unremarkable supporting roles and extras, she finally found a different path to fame: one crazed, vicious villainess left an impression on audiences nationwide. Even if it wasn’t a good impression. At last, she was famous. But was this really the kin 34.7kFavorites60kClicks/ch41.2kGifts

Curator note

The heroine in the entertainment industry is cool and the scenes are wonderfully written, and her imagination is quite big, especially the last few. The disadvantage is that the heroine is too twisted in the emotional line, and it is obvious that the author is projecting his own confusion and frustration on the heroine, which makes the overall character of the heroine slightly fragmented. It is better to keep the heroine's self-interested, ambitious and family character, and focus on the career line.

2 我 My Mother-in-Law Is Reborn [The 1970S] 我的婆婆是重生的[七零] Fragrant Crisp Chestnut香酥栗Romance2.8M WordsCompleted (Coming next: Our Whole Village Transmigrates to the Nineties and My Dad Is the Foil to the Male Lead in a Period Novel.

I rarely read periodicals, but after reading this book, I felt it was well written. It tells about the family feuds and gossips of several families in a courtyard, and it focuses on group portraits. The images of many characters are well created, and the changes in the characters' personalities are not abrupt. The author's pacing is also good, and it's not as boring as reading a running account. What I like the most is the happy ending. Everyone in the compound is moving forward to the new era with great enthusiasm. It is a warm period article. The shortcoming is that the author's copywriting is about the two heroines of the mother-in-law and the young daughter-in-law, but in the middle and late stages of the novel, it is actually written from the mother-in-law's perspective, and the author likes to use the words soft, glutinous and soft when writing about the young daughter-in-law, which is a little uncomfortable, but overall for me, it is a good and enjoyable article for the times.

3 身 Day and Night in a Demon-Filled Asura Realm 身陷妖鬼修罗场的日日夜夜 Cloud Mountain at Noon云山昼Romance778k WordsCompleted After being trapped in a desolate haunted house from a supernatural tale, Chi Baiyu is targeted by an evil ghost. The ghost is beautiful but cunning and cruel. With wicked intentions, it makes a bet with her: If she can seduce the fox demon living in the side room and get him to willingly offer up his heart, it will spare her life. That very night, Chi Baiyu meets the fox demon. Unlike the sly foxes so often found in stories, this blind fox is gentle, upright, and possessed of an otherworldly b 60.2kFavorites54.2kClicks/ch69.9kGifts

The charming and strange background is my favorite background setting among the author's articles. The heroine is smart, witty and calm, and her scenes with the male guests are also very tense.

When she opened her eyes again, a young man dressed as a scholar was saying to her, “Brother Chixia, if you’re rested, let’s get going.” Xue Ming was still wondering when she had started using the surname Yan. “Who are you?” The scholar replied, “I am Ning Caichen.” Xue Ming had a bad feeling.

5 穿 I Transmigrated as Emperor Huizong's Princess 穿越成宋徽宗公主 Vastness of the Underworld蒿里茫茫Romance3.0M WordsCompleted Zhao Luming thought the perfect heroine’s story would go like this: She’d be reborn as a princess, adored by the emperor and cherished by her brothers, clever, charming, and beautiful, with a host of handsome young men from the greatest aristocratic families in love with her. Then she’d embark on a thrilling, eventful life. The story Zhao Luming actually got was: Everything above was true, except the emperor was Emperor Huizong of Song, her brothers were Emperor Qinzong and Wanyan Gou, and the 113.6kFavorites110.6kClicks/ch1.1MGifts

Hao Li's writing is particularly beautiful! The protagonist does not have a golden finger, and may even be afraid, make mistakes, shrink back, and fail, but even if the road upward is difficult, the protagonist never gives up. In the words of Tong Guan in the article, "You must go to dangerous places and die again and again. Only when you step out can you win the trust of the world!" Ps: I feel that the writing style is more obscure than that of the Dagong workers. There are many metaphors and ironies, and the writing is also very clever.

It is in the same style as the author's last imperial examination essay. The small drawback is that some parts are relatively stiff and have a strong didactic meaning. I feel that it could be polished up.

The setting is quite interesting, a bit like Dihualiu. The disadvantage is that the writing is a bit procrastinating, and I feel a little bored after reading it.

Very nice! Compared with the emotional line, what is more exciting is the heroine's career line. From a family that favors sons over daughters and an illegitimate daughter who is constantly being suppressed, from this crazy start to the final comeback, the heroine is shrewd, capable, ambitious and capable, but what I think is more interesting is that she has a temperament that is not stingy. This kind of temperament is actually quite rare in female novels. In addition, I also like the way the author describes the relationship between the three sisters. They are enemies, but not enemies. They seem to be tit-for-tat with each other for their own interests, but they all understand that the power and interests they compete for are just a little bit leaked from the hands of men. No matter how smart and outstanding they are, the position of heir will always be reserved for men. The author writes particularly well about this feeling of female disempowerment and female community. The emotional line is also good, most of the male characters in it are "little men", and even the female protagonist and male protagonist have the characteristics of ancient domineering bosses and tough little white flowers. Especially when the male and female protagonists quarrel, this subtle sense of transformation between the genders is very funny.
