   Curator note

   It's good, typical of Qidian male-oriented novels. But the author occasionally has a lapse in judgment, rushing the pacing forward in a single chapter, practically revealing the entire outline. This has happened at least twice. A single arc could easily be stretched into several chapters, but instead, the author pushes the plot forward in one chapter, more so than if the entire arc were completed before advancing the main storyline, making the pacing a bit off. Overall, it's hard to give a satisfactory evaluation.

   Five-star rating Help! Who can resist a seemingly cool Italian cookie that actually just wants to eat ton after ton?! This football competition novel is so cute it made me want to vomit blood! The protagonist is supposedly an incredibly wealthy and adorable Italian rich kid, but he turns out to be extremely socially awkward. After being rejected by Arsenal's youth academy, he's bound to a footballing legend system, transferring to AC Milan and starting as a defender, working tirelessly to unlock his all-around player potential. The most amazing thing is his unexpected charm—to outsiders, he's a cool, domineering locker room king, but in reality, he's a sweet, chubby guy who loves to drink water and is pampered by the whole team! The pairing is a classic tsundere older man x innocent younger man. Their interactions are sweet but not cloying. The older man is unconsciously seduced by the sweet treats step by step, and the feeling of excitement and tug-of-war is just right! There's passionate team-building competition as well as super sweet moments. If you like contrasting cuteness and sweet competitive stories, this is a must-read!

4. 4 玩 There Is Absolutely Nothing Wrong with the Player's Honmaru 玩家的本丸才没有问题 Cutting the Lamp剪灯No CP648k WordsCompleted At a friend's recommendation, Qianye got hooked on the VR version of Touken Ranbu. Compared to the original, this version let players not only take on the role of a Saniwa, but also play as a Touken Danshi and head into battle, adding plenty of exciting, high-stakes combat. So, despite knowing next to nothing about the characters' backstories, Qianye first fell in love with the thrill of playing a Touken Danshi and charging into battle. When it came to the story, he just kept hitting skip. Wha 22.9kFavorites30.5kClicks/ch45.4kGifts

   Five-star rating A hilarious collision between "The Player's Invincible Fourth Wall Thinking" and "The Native's Level 10 God-like Imagination" in their everyday life! The protagonist, Chino, is incredibly cute, and his logic is remarkably simple—because he's essentially a hardcore gamer. His daily routine consists of the basic actions that gamers take for granted: casually changing the appearance of his swords, adding rare decorations, or triggering special animation effects during battles. But here's the key point: Chino actually has only a superficial understanding of the deeper backstory of the Touken Danshi (sword warriors). Therefore, what he sees as just "cool effects" or "matching clothes" in normal game mode becomes a horror movie in the eyes of the native Touken Danshi! As the swordsmen looked at the "forcibly modified" appearance of Chino's sword disguise and his slightly "distorted" movements due to his lack of skill, their minds instantly erupted with a series of dramatic scenarios. They were convinced that Chino, as the Saniwa, must have grown up in an extremely cruel and dark environment, or even been secretly controlled by some evil force, causing his sword disguise to suffer as well. They immediately filled in a 100,000-word heart-wrenching and tearful history for him in their minds. The funniest part is that these swordsmen of the Dark Honmaru are filled with love, heartbroken for Chino and his swordsmanship. To protect their "ravaged" protagonist, the fallen swordsmen go to great lengths, showing utter defiance. However, the more they try to cover for Chino, the more they escalate the situation, dragging the political situation into this epic chain of misunderstandings.

5. 5 揍 Zoldyck Family Simulator 揍敌客家族模拟器 Ni Wen逆温Romance843k WordsCompleted [After signing, updated daily with 6,000 characters, posted at midnight] You opened a game called [Zoldyck Family Simulator]. Its objective was to build the family known as the "Zoldycks" from nothing. At the beginning, the Zoldyck family was merely a small clan made up of scattered assassins.

Finally, after your day-and-night efforts, at long last... the Zoldyck family earned the title 24kFavorites27.1kClicks/ch12.1kGifts

   Curator note

   Four stars After watching "Zoldyck Family Simulator," I became completely addicted to the god's perspective and couldn't tear myself away! This book is seriously addictive! So addictive that after reading it, I even went to play Clash of Clans (Call of Cthulhu) tabletop RPGs and specifically created a Zoldyck character with the Assassin class (although I failed miserably because I'm so unlucky, which is hilarious). What's most captivating about the story is its top-down, pixelated "two-dimensional and three-dimensional" progression. Although the protagonist is labeled as female, to be honest, from this godlike perspective overlooking all things, the protagonist's gender is completely irrelevant! The key is that this sense of dimensional reduction and control is written so compellingly. What I found most irresistible were definitely the characters who were obsessed with the gods—especially Illumi and Killua! Watching them cautiously try to please and serve the gods, their devoutness and faith were palpable. This extreme tension, along with certain indescribable details of their attempts to please, made me want to beg the author to "unlock" these scenes! If I had to pinpoint the only flaw in this book, it would be that the author has spoiled my "god complex." As long as the protagonist isn't going to work or appearing in the plot, even if the world is still operating on its own, I just want to skip everything! Plots without the protagonist's personal appearance and interaction are truly boring. It seems that once you've experienced the perspective of a high-ranking god, all you want to see is the protagonist waving their fingers and teasing/interacting with the characters.

    Curator note

    I personally quite like the setting where the alternate world and reality coexist, plus the dual personality supporting the main personality. Each personality has its own set of standards for viewing the world: one sees the alternate world and has a game system, while the other sees reality and believes anything unusual is due to mental illness. The upgraded Stone Creed setting could be explored further. The dual personality is a righteous, mature, and steady older brother type who likes to preach and has a brother complex (this type is relatively rare and not to my taste), but the main personality is a delicate, polite, and eloquent baby (you'll find her incredibly cute). The background and setting were to my liking, but the story was rather drawn out, making it easy to guess the alternate personality's next move. The descriptions felt contrived, almost like setup, which made me uncomfortable. As for the ensemble cast of villains… well… they weren't stupid, but something about them felt off. Ironically, the best-developed character was the one the author was most worried about causing controversy with.

    The premise of being possessed by a demon really resonated with me. The early interactions between the childhood friends, who constantly bickered with the demon, were quite engaging, especially with the alluring red-eyed buff. He possessed the demon's body, but unfortunately, he didn't unleash his full destructive potential (if there were an "if" storyline where his demonic nature genuinely influenced his personality, leading to a melancholic disposition, that would be nice). After being separated for three hundred years (half a day), he was incredibly obedient, even willingly wearing chains to reassure his husband… well, that's a bit lacking. The downside: adding a subplot about their past lives would be unnecessary.

    The protagonist transmigrates into the body of the mad warrior Ni Heng, his sharp tongue allowing him to walk on a tightrope and berate famous ministers of Wei. There are no system cheats, only pure martial arts prowess and a sharp tongue buff. Map: Three Kingdoms period; Main timeline: Before Cao Pi's ascension to the throne; Extra "if" scenarios supplement his backstory. Features: The protagonist is a relatively unknown Three Kingdoms character; the in-depth exploration of his backstory is interesting. A quick online search revealed no other famous figures with the same surname. The author seems to have a penchant for factionalism.
