   I initially missed it, thinking it was a real survival game, but then I realized it was purely game-like, which drastically reduced the sense of crisis and the overall excitement. It's fun in the beginning but weakens later, especially the storyline involving the male protagonist, which felt quite inexplicable. Overall, it's worth recommending.

   Curator note

   This is a historical novel, and the beginning is incredibly engaging, with vividly cinematic descriptions! Highly recommended. The later parts lose some of the fatalistic feel of the historical narrative, but because it's divided into different historical periods, it doesn't negatively impact the reading experience. I particularly recommend the sections on the late Qin and early Ming dynasties!

3. 3 我 I, Qin Ershi, Am Broadcast Rebelling on the Sky Screen 我秦二世被天幕直播造反 Clothes in September九月有衣Romance381k WordsCompleted Ying Yunman transmigrates as the daughter of Qin Shi Huang.

If she wants to rewrite history completely, the only way is to become emperor herself! Rising against the First Emperor would make it difficult to use her advantage as someone from the future. Rising against Hu Hai, on the other hand, means competing with the Chu and Han kingdoms. Even with her imperfect know 61.6kFavorites158.9kClicks/ch128.9kGifts

   The plot is a bit dry, but since it was finished, I read it all in one go and it felt okay. For this type of power struggle story, Qidian's level is still better (is this even allowed?), Jinjiang's power struggles are too restrained, always feeling like something's missing. Overall, there aren't any major flaws, and it's okay for killing time.

   I only liked the career-oriented storyline and didn't like the male lead. I almost skipped all of his content. The beginning was a bit awkward, with some food scenes interspersed throughout.

   It was great in the beginning! I even started to ship the female lead and the supporting female character. If it were a yuri novel, it might be the only yuri novel I could actually read, maybe even warping my taste—that's terrifying… I stopped reading later because I felt like the secrets were about to be revealed; I don't like those kinds of plots.

    This is an older story, and the relationship between the female lead and the supporting female character is very touching. The harmonious relationship between them was quite rare and precious back then. I even secretly shipped the female lead, Narcissus, back then… I don't remember much about the male lead and the supporting male character, only that they didn't resonate with me, the female lead and supporting female character were adorable, and their friendship was the best thing ever.

    This is a pretty old story. The beginning was great; it's a stock market romance novel with a lot of romance. I remember back then, there were so many guys in the story, and I only shipped two of them. In the end, only those two made it to the final round… You can't imagine the despair I felt. So I didn't read the ending, but I remember the beginning being quite good. I was really into it back then. If you haven't read this type of story before, you should give it a try.

    A short story, worth reading. I read it a long time ago, back when it was still free short stories; now it's a subscription service. If any of you ladies want to read it, I suggest accumulating several subscriptions before reading it all at once.

I love this kind of lighthearted and humorous story. The male lead doesn't have a lot of screen time and doesn't overshadow the female lead, which is great.

The pacing in the beginning is too fast, and there are too many named supporting characters, which can be a bit confusing, but these flaws don't detract from the overall quality. The fast pace has its advantages, it just depends on your personal preference. Watching the ending and then rewatching the beginning provides a completely different experience. I really like this design, especially the villainous female supporting character—she's well-developed and very well-portrayed.
