Every student is glamorous, rich, and powerful. Although, behind closed doors, every one of them is a walking disaster.

   Personally, I prefer the parts involving American Horror Story or the parts where the female lead displays her queen-like strength and intelligence, but the focus shifts away from these aspects later on. The main thing is that the female lead's career is on the rise, which is a bit of a shame.

The yellow mustard and chili sauce smelled incredible. Most i 38.6kFavorites41.9kClicks/ch267.4kGifts

   The writing is exquisite, the emotions are delicate, the prose is exquisite, and the food is exquisite. Jason Todd, Little Wolf, and the other characters don't feel like two-dimensional characters, but rather like living, breathing "people" living their own lives. I love it so much! However, the author isn't feeling well, so the update frequency is irregular. Those who mind this can consider joining the series at their own pace.

3. 3 提 [Western Crossover] Timmy! How Am I Supposed to Live Without You?! [综英美]提米！没了你我怎么活啊！ Li Yimeng鲤亦檬Romance628k WordsOngoing [Second edit notice: The cover is a reaction image from a birdwatching group. I chose it because it represents both the male lead’s identity and how much the heroine likes him. It has no negative implications, so please don’t make inappropriate jokes about it. Thank you for understanding.] Gotham’s matchmaking has always been astonishingly good. Ordinary people collide with superpowered ones, vigilantes brawl with villains, and the forces of good are forever entangled with the forces of evil. 15.2kFavorites13.2kClicks/ch37.9kGifts

   The female lead is a rare type, and the male lead, as the title suggests, has excellent writing skills.

I’m supposed to guard Damian, who could climb a snow-covered mountain with his bare hands at four years old? Seriously? Luckily, her boss only gave her the title of bodyguard. Aisley’s real job was to report all of Damian’s activities to the League of Assassins on schedule. As for how to report, how to avoid making Damian angry, or 13.8kFavorites16.3kClicks/ch46.9kGifts

5. 5 星 Stardew Valley, but in the Qin Empire 星露谷，但大秦帝国 Rushing Rivers and Mountains山河匆匆No CP536k WordsOngoing Ye Lingheng was an utterly ordinary office worker, living an utterly ordinary life: working, sleeping, and playing games. Her greatest hobby was farming and making wine in Stardew Valley. Lately, though, the game seemed to be losing its appeal. One utterly ordinary night, she downloaded a mod called "The Great Qin Empire." It set Stardew Valley during the Warring States period, and its sheer variety opened the eyes of this history-loving female farmer, bringing her back to her pastoral routine i 7kFavorites7.3kClicks/ch26.8kGifts

A fun Dragon Saga crossover alternate-universe story. It won't be going premium. The whole thing is free, written for love, regular updates, or even that it'll be any good. 2.

At first, he thinks it’s an erotic novel, so he throws himself into outrageous antics every day just to survive. And then, later I’ve been living it up to the ends of the earth, and you’re telling me this is actually an infinite horror novel?! P.S. I’m revising the story and polishing the details.

   This is an infinite flow, lighthearted BL story with a main character who is the receiver. Both the seme and uke are characters with their own understanding and actions. I really like the seme's description of his ideal type: vibrant and full of life. The protagonist is indeed a vibrant and full-bodied person, which I also really like.

   This is a lighthearted, BL (Boys' Love) novel with a focus on the protagonist's character being the receiver. The author, Chunfeng Yao, has matured her writing style, creating an engaging and logically sound narrative. Every choice the protagonist makes reflects his values; he perseveres, faces difficulties without fear, and thinks outside the box, achieving his goals step by step. I really enjoyed it!

    This is Chunfeng Yao's latest work, and the protagonist is as strong and resourceful as ever. However, what impressed me most about the protagonist is his boundless energy—I'm envious! Some parts of the story reference older works and are slightly original; just close your eyes and bear with it… (Hang in there!)

    The story features a female protagonist who is a "boy-girl" type of character, similar to a power-up system. The entire story is interconnected, with the female protagonist searching for a way out of her life.

    This is a novel with no romantic pairing and a male lead. I haven't finished reading it yet because it contains hidden (or explicit) angst, so I'm keeping it in my favorites until I'm mentally prepared for more heartbreak. Brothers and sisters who can handle angst can check it out; the writing is quite mature.

    This is a romance novel featuring a female protagonist who constantly levels up. Of course, I think the most distinctive feature of Tianze Shiruo's novel is that the female protagonist is intelligent, has a broad perspective, foresight, is calm, clever, strong, kind, and resilient. She can control all kinds of villains without being discovered.

    This is a novel without a romantic pairing for the male lead. As the plot unfolds, the protagonist feels like a mischievous yet adorable beagle who stays true to himself and cares about the Bat family, constantly surprising you. The writing style is unique and interesting.

    Highly recommended! A romance novel with a strong female lead. Tianze Shiruo's writing consistently features: minimal and well-placed romance, and a smart, strong, kind, steady, and calm protagonist. The stories also have a touch of humor.

    The feeling of solving cases in this BG (boy-girl) novel is so satisfying! How can someone be so smart? And it's not the kind of smartness that doesn't give readers any clues; all the clues are laid out in the open, and readers can compete with the protagonist in solving the case.
