   A super good novel about raising children and building infrastructure; aside from a few angst-filled moments, everything else is excellent.

2. 2 完 The Perfect Image 完美人设 The Gate of Rebirth往生阙No CP1.3M WordsCompleted A slow-burn, slice-of-life story set in the entertainment industry. No CP and no romantic ambiguity. After being reborn, he wants to become a perfect celebrity. Two endings: one happy and one tragic. Please don't assume this is based on anyone real. None of the characters are based on real people. (It really is annoying when people assume it's based on someone. The male lead dies at thirty in the tragic ending, and both his parents died when he was young. If you're going to assume it's based 38.3kFavorites79.5kClicks/ch41kGifts

   I was completely devastated after reading it. The author is such a wonderful person. The writing is excellent, the plot flows smoothly, but it was a bit depressing to read. Hebe has two endings.

   This is my favorite cultivation novel I've read in recent years, and I haven't found a replacement yet. The Thousand Canals arc gave me a revolutionary feeling, and the female characters are especially good. The male lead is a bit of a heartthrob, but I think that's reasonable because the readers love him too.

   This is my absolute favorite talent show novel on this site. I love all the characters in it, and I'm genuinely moved by the stories of people striving for their dreams. I especially love the intense, dramatic episodes. When will the Chinese entertainment industry have a stage like this?

   I suggest renaming it "How Hard I Worked to Surf the Internet in Another World" (a story about infrastructure development).

   Cao Sheng's "life" is the meaning of "life without end." I haven't read many Three Kingdoms fanfics, but this one is one of my top picks. I'll always love base-building novels.

   The ending felt a bit rushed, but your short story and mysterious tips made up for it well.

   If you've watched a lot of recent fantasy dramas and found them awful, I highly recommend this book. It's incredibly satisfying, with no romantic pairing and a strong male lead.

10. 10 快 Quick Transmigration: Ruined Reputation 快穿之身败名裂 Seeing White Hair见白头No CP563k WordsCompleted After transmigrating, I’m disgraced and ruined. I roll up my sleeves and get straight to work. A satisfying story that first takes the protagonist down before lifting him up. The male lead is on the way to becoming universally adored. Absolutely no couple, just one-sided crushes. Essentially a slow-paced story of transmigrating through different worlds. Coming soon: When Demons Meet When day and night change, when humans and demons meet.

    I absolutely love quick transmigration novels (slow transmigration ones), the male lead is super gentle, and I especially love the Western fantasy side stories.

How can there be treasures without an auction? With her own strength, Zhu Mo turns the plot into a leveling-up power fantasy. Who needs all that miserable romance?
