   Curator note

   It is a redemption story with a very good and fast pace. It is not a story with a major heroine, but the heroine has always been the center of the story. It relies on brain power and some plug-ins to fight against the dark and cruel world setting. The author is very good at depicting the entanglements of characters. The outline should be quite dense, and it is really good when reversing. It was shocking both inside and outside the novel. There were some interesting plots in the forums, and the story about the character herself going to a comic exhibition and being treated as a cosplayer was really fun for me. But the character of the heroine is actually worthy of consideration, but it would be a spoiler to say too much about the strong setting.

   The heroine has a strong subjectivity and is a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry. The author is unique in his ability to grasp the psychology of the characters and their characteristics. He has a good understanding of the fandom and is relatively objective.

   It's a funny novel, a bit nonsensical, but the author's rhythm is really good, and the heroine has a sense of relaxation and control that is rare in similar novels. I gave it three stars because I stopped updating it in the middle.

   A very pure coming-of-age heroine. Although the heroine has a human soul, her self-perception has always been that of a beast, so she lives very comfortably in a world where the jungle is strong. Race against time to become stronger and never stop moving forward.

In the original story, she was a woman like dodder, a parasitic vine. Dodder is hardy and competes with its host plant for nutrients and sunlight. The good news: she awakens a dodder ability and can acquire powers through parasitism. The bad news: she has a split personality, and her alternate personality goes around parasitizing people to get stronger.

   The heroine's dual personalities work together, killing, killing, burying, and burying each other in full swing and beaming with joy (the organization's language) (the organization failed). The communication between the two personalities is very sweet, and it can be regarded as a mutual love story (?). The level of wit is above average, there are many supporting characters with different personalities, you sing and I take the stage, the story is both funny and profound, but unfortunately the comment section is a little messy. Falling in love with the Black Mountain White Bird is easy!

   Curator note

   I hesitated to read this book because it was quite depressing and it was not a fun read. The author likes to write about dark and twisted emotions and soft knives, because it adds legitimacy to every knife that is stabbed at the protagonist, so it hurts even more! But I looked back at the theme of this book list, and the male protagonist (attack) perfectly met my selection criteria (four out of five). He is an idealist day by day, trying desperately to put together this messy and cruel world with the glass that scratched him (the ending is kind of a beginning, there are a lot of problems waiting for them, reality has always been like this). Solemn warning: I will accept all the faults of those in high positions and will not change them until the end. Too much force often leads to excessive behavior towards the protagonist. Even if I expected it in advance, I would often explode because of him. It is not suitable for any readers who prefer light-hearted stories.

   I suddenly remembered the first part of a trilogy of old Naruto novels. The plot and writing style were out of date. But because I like the main character very much, I put him in. If I watch it again, it may have a lot of flaws, so I won't watch it again, hahaha. I'll just keep the original beauty in my memory. The male protagonist has a stable core, is powerful and unrestrained.

    Election, it was the first time I saw the subject on JJ, so I watched it. Let me tell you in advance that this is not a perfect story, the plot is not very neat, and the characters are not very smart, but they are purely cute. How should I put it? It floats like a marshmallow but can bite out many sweet little details. The protagonist gradually finds his principles in the wavering, and gradually understands his perseverance in the escape. He is ordinary but always willing to be kind. (And it's so ordinary for the heroine to work part-time as an underground idol during the day at 996, a big internet company during the day!)

    I will always be amazed by Brother Zu's grasp of human nature and control of situations. Super handsome, yyds! The plot has depth and joy. There is a lot of information and a lot of logical judgments, which makes it impossible for me to listen to the book at the same time, otherwise my mind will go blank (wry smile). There are many quick-travel and infinite flow novels, such as the complete collection of imagination, with varying levels of quality, but every world in this book has its own meaning.

    Curator note

    It combines 007 Mission: Impossible, DC Universe Stranger Things and other classic movies. The author's writing is very good, seamlessly connects the movie scenes, and he can make jokes. It's awesome. The author does a good job of taking into account the male protagonist's growth from ability to mentality. When he grows up, he becomes a British gentleman, with maximum force and charm. He is either in a gunfight or on the way to a gunfight (I love watching it). The IQ is very high, and the plot logic is ok. The male protagonist is pulled by the love and fetters of this world, stumbles through the helpless years, and becomes the support of others, changing the tragic background of the movie. "What is the heart?" "Goal." The emotional line with Batman is very sweet (there is no difference between attack and attack) and the character of the original character is well grasped!
