Qiu Yu’an was a B-king. If he couldn’t show off, he’d rather die. Qiu Yu’an, the eldest legitimate son of the Qiu family, was renowned throughout the cultivation world as a prodigy. They say that on the day he was born, thunder roared across the sky.

Song Xihe looked at the other passenger beside him, utterly bewildered. Had he really just seen a little bunny sucking on a pacifier? The pacifier-sucking bunny cheerfully held up his tiny little foot for Song Xihe to see. “Big Brother! I'll tell you a secret. The fur on the bottom of my left foot is shaped like a heart!” Song Xihe was flattered. “Now that's quite a secret 19.5kFavorites26.1kClicks/ch17.4kGifts

   All the furry creatures are so cute! I really liked the parts about the Chirp Flying Courier Station and the Meow Meow Smart Carpool (the little Meow car can even catch birds!), And the bird-exclusive rooftop seats. The main couple's interactions were so gentle, and the supporting characters' low intelligence was quite funny in contrast. I hope they can explore more about the evolution of civilization in the furry world and how their clothing, food, housing, and transportation differ from humans. It feels like there's room for further development in that area. 😆

   It's rare that I'd be willing to subscribe to even a spin-off book. The male lead was quite a jerk in the beginning, but the female lead remained steadfast and her goals and principles never wavered; for the sake of freedom, she was willing to sacrifice both. The plot and writing are both excellent; the 70+ chapters make for a sweet bedtime read. I especially love the author's creation of such a resilient and self-reliant female protagonist, like a little sunflower. She's so full of life! 🤩

4. 4 颓 The Dejected Shut-in’s Wardrobe Connects to Infinite Worlds 颓丧家里蹲的衣柜和无限世界相连了 Heaven上苍Danmei (BL)1.7M WordsCompleted Lin Sen has been holed up at home for ten years, scraping by every day with online power-leveling jobs. One day, while he was intently working on a job, a sharp knife was pressed to his throat, leaving a thin line of blood. Lin Sen: My phone password is 8888, my payment password is 868686, the front door key is in the key basket by the door, and my ID is in the backpack hanging in the bedroom.

   🙏Li Bao is clearly sick, but she still wants to help everyone. It's so nice to be cared for and looked after by the players. Even if your family doesn't like you, it's okay, you'll still be pampered! They are truly virtuous and upright players in the infinite world. It's been a long time since I've seen so many good people in a similar infinite flow game. Although everyone had their own reasons for being stubborn and their own difficulties, everyone who was with Li Bao was kind and took good care of him. The genre is quite novel. While I can't give it four or five stars, this is the kind of novel that leaves a lasting impression. The supporting characters are all very distinctive, and the moments can be surprisingly poignant. Everyone has their strengths, and the story is surprisingly warm and realistic. The writing style is very smooth, and it's the best book I've read recently! 🎉🎉 Even though it's still being serialized, I'm adding it to my reading list and highly recommending it. It feels like it's nearing its end; the protagonist has decided to cooperate in changing the grand rules to save the world. P. S. (Ling Weixin is really giving away gifts and people. Although he's not the main character, I still hope he can be resurrected. He's so great that he sacrificed himself for the people of the infinite world. No one can replace you!! Please resurrect my white moonlight so that Li Bao can rest and not be forced to do things that she finds troublesome.)

He came here from the human world. This parallel world is rather eerie. The girl knitting on the bus is actually knitting brains, and the people carrying umbrellas in the rain are holding up human bones... His original self made a living as a suggestive livestreamer. Si Jiang wasn't willing to do that, so he started telling ghost stories about what he saw on his channel.

   Curator note

   The entire story is set before the "if" scenario, with the initial focus on hatred, mutual attraction without realizing it, and constant harm and rescue efforts. 😭 The romance started out of nowhere, but it all came together happily in the end. The plot involving four playing cards ruling the world was interesting, but it's a pity that the supporting characters were mostly just background figures. Even though I finished the book in one go and wrote a review, I don't remember much of it now. A book that's neither enjoyable to read nor worth discarding. The idea of telling ghost stories via livestream is decent, but unfortunately, the world-building isn't very extensive; there's clearly room for more ghost stories and monsters. Many instances are only briefly mentioned. If you really have nothing to read, you can give this a try. It's not bad to read when you're extremely bored.

6. 6 侍 The Guard Has Eyes Only for His Master 侍卫他满心满眼都是主子 Zhe Qiang折羌Romance150k WordsCompleted Song Nuan read a book, then opened her eyes to find herself transformed into the young maid at the heroine’s side. Checking the timeline, she realized it was exactly when the heroine married the male lead, became a princess consort, and got her happy ending. Great. She wouldn’t have to follow the heroine through the plot. Just as Song Nuan was plotting how to free herself from her servant status and escape to faraway places, the male lead returned to the manor with a group of people.

   This is such a sweet book! The female lead travels back to ancient times and becomes a maid who gets together with a shadow guard. After they are both forced to die, they return to the modern world and are together again. My heart softened after reading it.

While still young, she had to travel far beyond the pass to get married in order to escape her circumstances. She'd heard her prospective husband had lost his family backing, but he was capable, tall, handsome, and a fine-looking fellow. Yan Xue was reasonably satisfied. That day, heavy snow blanketed the logging camp. She had taken a long-distance train and then a local train, and her hands and feet were frozen stiff.

   I really like the female lead; she's always there to help others in need and never lets herself be bullied—she's such a kind person! I started reading because of the coincidence in the title, which was quite interesting, but towards the end, it felt a bit bland and I felt bad abandoning it. I thought there would be other developments, like promoting wood ear mushrooms nationwide to build a large-scale industry, and the college entrance exam theme was only mentioned briefly at the end. I only read up to chapter 115. The early part, from cutting wood to growing wood ear mushrooms and becoming rich, was really interesting. Although the male lead is cold and doesn't talk much, the female lead has a very kind personality.

I'll take some time to recover. Sorry. Guides are naturally frail, and their purpose is to soothe sentinels and purify and heal their mental energy. Guides of Rank B and above can also form mental links with sentinels. Qing Yuan is a guide whose spirit form is only Rank F, with barely any healing ability. To make matters worse, her spirit form is actually aggressive. Even so, its attack power is only a few times 28.7kFavorites43.2kClicks/ch31.2kGifts

   The stream-of-consciousness style is superb, but the ending felt a bit rushed. Find the door, the explosion, the disruption of the time-space path, and that's it. Aside from repeatedly appreciating the healing scenes, I just skimmed through the plot [Clown][Clown][Clown] Is this the ending? The speed at which the boss was discovered and defeated was way too fast; my brain couldn't keep up. Many of the Sentinels were quite well-done, and the starfish with pink hair was really cute.
