1. 1 我 I Clean Up Garbage in a Wasteland World 我在废土世界扫垃圾 Flowers Bloom in the Wild有花在野Romance2.0M WordsCompleted Zhu Ning, who was leading the charge against zombies in the apocalypse, transmigrates, this time into a wasteland world. Eighty percent of this world’s land has been contaminated. Humanity is divided into five classes. She ends up in the lowest, a fifth-class citizen, which is just another way of saying she’s a defective good-for-nothing. Penniless and with nothing to her name, Zhu Ning has no choice but to become a cleaner and sweep up garbage. She’s heard that cleaning up trash in the wastelan 828.4kFavorites957.5kClicks/ch3.3MGifts

   I read it a long time ago, over a hundred chapters. There's a male supporting character who has a one-sided love for the protagonist, there's ambiguous romance, and the male character calls the female lead "Mom." It has some flaws, but its highlights are too bright; it manages to create such good characters as Sheng Xin and Zhu Ning, and its depiction of mental pollution is outstanding. The author has a simple love for daughters, but because she also loves men, she has inner conflict, leading to depression. I'm not against men; there are many male-dominated mothers in the comments section. Moreover, if your mother isn't good to you, then what you should do is not portray your mother well in the story, but rather oppose filial piety. I hope the author recovers her health.

   I read it a long time ago, but I couldn't continue reading when the male characters became more prominent, so I dropped it. It contained derogatory language about women, featured male characters, and while the male characters were few in number, they were still a hindrance; it felt like the author stole credit. The author has a vivid imagination, and some of the subconscious imagery is quite interesting.

3. 3 囤 Stockpile Supplies, Then Survive 囤货，然后活下去 Lady Aragorn阿拉贡夫人No CP2.8M WordsOngoing Zhang Baibai, who was born with little emotional capacity, spent more than twenty years as an ordinary corporate drone, living by the rules and keeping her head down. Who could have guessed that one day, while she was working as usual in the office, she'd get up to pour herself some water and suddenly be pulled into a safe house? Zombies roared outside.

   I read it a long time ago. I don't understand the author's cover; it has nothing to do with the text. The author seems to have denigrated feminism in the story. Finally, she's writing full-time about female-centric novels, releasing four romance novels in one go. The author's pen name is quite cheesy, but she said on Weibo that the pen name doesn't mean that. The protagonist's name, Zhang Baibai, sounds like a meaningless name, but the author said it's her usual gaming name.

4. 4 戏 A Drama Queen Enters a Tragic Romance 戏精穿进苦情剧 Fu Hua扶华No CP350k WordsCompleted A misery drama: A story in which the heroine receives a happy ending as long as she is tolerant and kind enough to forgive, gives selflessly without regret, and keeps yielding and enduring until even the villains who bullied her grow old and can no longer make trouble.

   There's a lot of controversy, comments are frequently deleted, and the comment section is filled with heated arguments. The author seems to have been influenced by the anime/manga/game (ACG) culture, constantly using terms like "master" and "adult," and there are other problematic elements. I dropped it after chapter 90-something (I didn't see too many problematic elements before dropping it) because of the author's constant deletion of comments. However, considering the many haters the author has attracted, I don't really want to criticize this book.

6. 6 让 What’s Wrong with Letting Me Be a Parasite? 让我寄生一下怎么了？ Leave the Mountain别山去No CP953k WordsCompleted Lin Ao transmigrates from a coming-of-age romance into a chaotic wasteland. 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. Long afterward, people all say that Lin Ao is an unpredictable, me 136.5kFavorites137.3kClicks/ch266.7kGifts

   The comment section is chaotic, seemingly a pioneer of commercializing female-centric fiction, and one of the earliest examples of the trendy, effeminate female-centric style, even predating the manga "Everyone's Hateful." It also features illustrations and arguments in the comment section, along with a flood of readers commenting, "This is the only effeminate female-centric novel I've ever read." I had been eagerly anticipating this book for over half a year, drawn by its subject matter. Initially, when it wasn't popular, I recommended it to everyone. However, the comment section environment deteriorated, with arguments every time I commented, followed by a massive deletion of comments. After following over 200 chapters until nearing completion, I ultimately abandoned it. This author is also the most enigmatic to me. Other authors either engage in heartfelt interactions in the comment section, like the author of "Dannis's Heroes," or are very active on Weibo, like the author of "Blood Bar." This current comment section frenzy is truly baffling. It perfectly illustrates the saying: an AG without sexual content is worse than a semi-AG with sexual content.

Oh no, she brought the wrong translator. No matter. The wrong translator is better than no translator at all. Qin Shang recruited a spirit fox who had cultivated into a person to translate for her, and she got along with the village at the foot of the mountain.
