1. 1 区 Just a Mere Villain, So What If I Beat Them Up? [Wuxia Crossover] 区区反派，打就打了[综武侠] Leisurely Time漫时Danmei (BL)8.4M WordsCompleted This novel is being revised from time to time. You transmigrate into a wealthy family where the bells of ceremonial vessels ring out at every banquet.

But then you’re told: Your gr 21.6kFavorites63.9kClicks/ch37.2kGifts

   Curator note

   It's well-written, but it's too long and padded, and the romance is too cloying.

2. 2 在 Working as a Companion Maid in Northern Song 在北宋当陪房 Golden Goose金鹅Romance1.1M WordsOngoing [Updates are irregular, but this will definitely be completed. Quality comes first.] Liang Jin suddenly transmigrates into the household of an official in the Northern Song. She isn’t one of the masters, though. She’s the younger daughter of Nanny Diao, the second branch’s wife’s personal maid: a little girl called Second Miss, with her hair in a maid’s bun and wearing only a bellyband. Before dawn, Second Miss Liang, dressed in a pair of brown split-crotch trousers, squats outside the door an 157.4kFavorites247.6kClicks/ch406.3kGifts

   I won't even mention the author's slow updates, but what's the point of pairing the female lead's older sister with an ugly guy? 💔💔

   Curator note

   The beginning was really good, with a very interesting premise, but it got boring from the middle onwards when they started developing the romance. I tried several times but just couldn't get into it. 🤔

   The first Qin Shi Huang World was good, but the later ones weren't so good; I dropped it halfway through.

   The first half was good, but the second half, with the main couple returning home, became too saccharine...

6. 6 看 Did You See My Cat? 看见我的猫了吗？[无限流] Nian Luan廿乱Danmei (BL)1.7M WordsCompleted [Next up: From the Republic of China to Here] [Coming soon: A Thousand Years Later, My Account Is Unsealed; I Transmigrated to Ancient Times to Be the Emperor’s Cat] - Yan Jiyun died in an accident.

   Curator note

   The cat is cute, but the supporting characters are too stupid... Writing an infinite flow novel really requires high-IQ settings, otherwise it's completely unreadable...

   Curator note

   An old-fashioned time-travel Mary Sue novel (middle-aged version). The first half was good, but I dropped it after the female lead lost her memory.

   Curator note

   A typical light novel, readable when you're looking for something to read, but it becomes too formulaic later on, so I dropped it.
