1. 1 人 The Ultimate Guide to Wasting Your Life 人生浪费宝典 Gray Valley灰谷Danmei (BL)646k WordsCompleted Gu Yuting's car was caught in a landslide on the highway, and he came within a hair's breadth of dying in the wilderness. Luckily, Yu Shu saved his life, and he made it back alive. Grateful for the favor, Gu Yuting brought Yu Shu home with him. Yu Shu had lived in the mountains since childhood, cut off from the world. He knew nothing about social customs or how the world worked. That was all right. Gu Yuting could teach him, little by little. Before long, rumors were flying around town: The shi 126.1kFavorites130.7kClicks/ch390.7kGifts

   Curator note

   It's the older man/younger woman genre that Ashiya-sensei excels at. The style and content of this story are so different from the synopsis that I almost gave up on it because of the description; actually, the main text is a cute and sweet story.

2. 2 末 Seven Stars in the Palm of the Apocalypse 末世掌上七星 Golden Fox Beneath the Moon月下金狐Danmei (BL)1.2M WordsCompleted The Zhang family were descendants of the Zhengyi School of Taoism, but by Zhang Shuhe's generation, the family had fallen into decline. When the apocalypse came, there were mysterious blood-sucking plants and undead walking corpses. With only a little talisman magic left, he struggled to survive among the evil creatures for ten years, before finally dying beneath the blood vines in the abyss. He never expected to return to ten years earlier. The first thing he did after being reborn was leap o 105.4kFavorites281kClicks/ch43.3kGifts

   Curator note

   This is an older story; the second half is about cultivation, and the first half is about the apocalypse. However, the apocalyptic part is also very good. The protagonist is a bit cold-blooded at the beginning, but he gets better later.

3. 3 师 Martial Uncle, This Is the Modern World, Please Behave Yourself 师叔，这是现代，请自重 Caramel Winter Melon焦糖冬瓜Danmei (BL)825k WordsCompleted [Modern Urban Fantasy and the Supernatural] Ye Linshuang transmigrated from the age of cultivation to three thousand years in the future alongside his martial uncle, where spiritual energy is scarce and the 996 grind crushes his spine. But why did his martial uncle transmigrate into the body of a wealthy, handsome, wildly popular movie emperor with countless followers, while Ye Linshuang ended up as a university lecturer perpetually short on cash, teaching boring folklore during work hours and 66.1kFavorites65.7kClicks/ch62.7kGifts

   The premise is interesting; it's not a traditional cultivation novel, more like a metaphysical story. The beginning was great, but the ending felt rushed.

4. 4 升 Can the Leveling-Up Protagonist Have an Immortal Love Interest? 升级流主角可以不死对象吗 Stay Until Late晚留Danmei (BL)1.0M WordsCompleted One not-so-well-known piece of twisted logic goes like this: in a power-leveling story, either the protagonist has to suffer enough, or the people around them do. That gives the protagonist ample reason to level up, then exact face-slapping revenge afterward. Revenge for a murdered father, mother, wife, teacher, or friend: nothing new there. After Qiu Yi dealt with his enemy, he looked at his own cultivation level, which was still only at Qi Refining, then at the cultivation system, with its el 10.7kFavorites7.7kClicks/ch13.4kGifts

   It was a master-disciple relationship, older man/younger woman dynamic, I don't remember the specifics, but it was good.

6. 6 剑 The Sword Is Called Unbearable 剑名不奈何 Huai Shang淮上Danmei (BL)543k WordsCompleted They say Xu Shuangce, the greatest man under heaven, keeps a portrait of his deceased wife. But no one knows that on the back of the painting is the image of his old nemesis, the very person Xu Shuangce personally killed. Sixteen years ago, Gong Wei, Grand Director of the Immortal Alliance’s Punishment Court, went up to the Ascension Platform with a dagger hidden on him, intending to assassinate Xu Shuangce. He failed, and was killed on the spot by the Non-Interference Sword. Sixteen years lat 871kFavorites1.1MClicks/ch1.2MGifts

   Curator note

   It's also a master-disciple relationship in a sense, with an older man/younger woman dynamic, and the plot is quite imaginative. (Zhuangzi's Dream of a Butterfly)

7. 7 回 Back to the Immortal Venerable's Youth [Book Transmigration] 回到仙尊少年时[穿书] Concubine in Shanyang妾在山阳Danmei (BL)590k WordsCompleted [The physical edition of Volume 2 goes on sale June 1. Its published title is Knowing You.] Yan Qing transmigrates into a melodramatic cultivation novel as a child: the most popular villain, a beautiful, tragic figure. As an adult, the villain is a peerless genius of breathtaking elegance. As a child, he is pitiful and nearly starves to death in the bitter winter.

   It's a bit angsty, but both the romance and the plot are quite good.

8. 8 闲 To Leisurely Sweep Fallen Flowers with the Immortals 闲与仙人扫落花 Returning Geese in Falling Snow归鸿落雪Danmei (BL)1.3M WordsCompleted As the most promising second-generation immortal, Jiang Gu had made unifying the immortal realm his life’s mission, until the love tribulation delayed for three thousand years finally appeared. According to the Immortal Ascension Bureau’s statistics, the fastest way to weather a love tribulation was to combine the Heartless Path with a master-disciple relationship. Jiang Gu took his sword and descended to the mortal realm. His plan was three years of courtship, five years of love, and then to k 347kFavorites273.2kClicks/ch505.3kGifts

As it turned out, he had a heavenly spiritual root, was the eldest legitimate son of a powerful clan, and could cultivate automatically while lying down, with resources delivered e 275.4kFavorites452kClicks/ch2.8MGifts

   Curator note

   This is a super long, fast-paced cultivation novel with a leveling-up system. The protagonist is carefree and unrestrained. The only drawback is that the romance feels a bit abrupt. (The last sentence appears to be unrelated and possibly a fragment from another text.)

10. 10 穿 Transmigrated as a Cultivation Master, but Now I’m Running a Seminar 穿成师尊，但开组会 Su Xingchuan宿星川Danmei (BL)1.5M WordsCompleted The protagonist of this story is transported into a dark cultivation novel and becomes the unlucky, aloof master who will one day be killed by the protagonist, his own disciple, to prove his Dao. His death is gruesome. Very, very gruesome. To make matters worse, he is bound to a System that keeps insisting he must play the role of the aloof master, redeem his disciple and protect the world, or kill the disciple and escape. The darkened male lead won’t arrive at the sect for another twenty years. 262.4kFavorites384.1kClicks/ch761.3kGifts

    The aloof and cold master-shou (bottom/uke) characters are quite unique and all very good, but I feel the author lacks a sense of boundaries (no offense intended).

Everyone on the Heartless Dao is cold and silent, sparing with words. To fit in, Helan Xi has no choice but to suppress his true nature and painfully play the aloof type. Then one day, Helan Xi accidentally... sleeps with his classmate, Song Xun. When he wakes up, Helan Xi instantly loses it. “There's no way I can keep cultivating this stupid Dao!

And what happened after that?” “After that...” The half-drunk man smiled, eyes narrowing as he rested his head on the other’s shoulder and proudly waved the wine in his hand. “After that, I never expected the moon to come running to me before I’d even plucked it from the sky.” A feel-good, silly romance between two m 148.9kFavorites305.5kClicks/ch58kGifts

A laid-back cultivation story focused on everyday life. The important part is the list of warnings. There are quite a few, so stay alert to avoid triggering any. If you do hit a nerve, click the little red X and get out at once. Here are the details: 1. First-person narration. The associated issue is that everything is seen from the protagonist’s perspective, so his understanding of the world may be one-side 95.9kFavorites278.3kClicks/ch500.9kGifts

No matter how handsome or beautiful people are in the cultivation world, they all look like wooden posts to him. Of course, being face-blind doesn't stop him from cultivating and ascending to immortality. If anything, it's a huge incentive to work hard, because he truly can't remember anyone's face! His life is so hard. So, once he entered the gates of Yonglu Mountain, he decided to be blind. Well, at least until he cultivated his spiritual sense 90.4kFavorites156.1kClicks/ch356.3kGifts
