   4 stars for *Transmigrating to 1983* by Shao Yu, a story set in the early days of the People's Republic of China, depicting a gradual development from subtle coercion to mutual affection. (The forced agreement at the beginning is well-written, making the cliché of "the younger brother marrying in place of his older sister" feel natural and not at all idiotic. I've read two other stories where the older brother marries in place of his younger sister that were quite ridiculous, written in a very amateurish style, as if the forced marriage was just a way to get the younger brother to marry the older brother.) This story, however, has excellent writing. The younger brother's character is different from the typical "scholarly young master" in other novels; he's a refined yet sunny character with his own unique traits, making him more three-dimensional and less one-dimensional. A similar story is *Dawn* by Zhou Erfushi, which also begins with a simple love story and blossoms into mutual affection, also set in the early days of the People's Republic of China.

   2 stars for "After Everyone Mistakenly Admitted to the Wrong Online Lover" by Shan Zhenyue. I was kept on the edge of my seat by the melodramatic family plot, but the romance was so overly sentimental that I had to skip through it all (I only glanced at each chapter to make sure it wasn't related to the family or main storyline). I only read a lot of the filler romance to see the main character's parents' dramatic love triangle. The novel has 60 chapters, and only about 30 of them are actually non-filler.

   3 stars. "Will the Pretty Little Blind Man Also Become Cannon Fodder?" By Han Wuyin. The protagonist's character is a bit unique; he's a little clumsy, a little naive, a little sweet, yet stubbornly believes he's a cunning man. His "scheming" doesn't make him unlikeable.

5. 55 职 Professional Rich Kid, Thirty Million a Year 职业真少爷，年薪三千万 Fully Automatic Typing Keyboard全自动码字键盘Danmei (BL)863k WordsCompleted Lin Chen transmigrated into a novel about a real and fake young master. The original protagonist was upright and talented. After his identity as the fake young master was exposed and he was kicked out of the family, he was bullied by all kinds of spoiled rich kids. He eventually turned dark and drove half the major families in the capital to bankruptcy. Lin Chen remained expressionless. “Sounds fascinating.

   2 stars for "Professional Young Master, Annual Salary of 30 Million" by Fully Automatic Typing Keyboard. After reading the first part about the fake young master (the catfish was exciting), I lost interest. Although it is a modern romance novel, it is a bit like a quick transmigration novel where every world has the same plot, or like an interconnected episodic novel (each episode has the same plot).

   3 stars for "I Really Just Want to Retire" by Whale Offline. The premise is quite novel (this author excels at writing systematic humanistic stories). The early and middle parts are enjoyable, a fast-paced read. However, the later parts become a bit boring as the plot becomes more formulaic.

   1.5 stars for "Marry Me? The Kind of Marriage Where We'll Have a Hundred Little Fish" by Li Mozi. A brainless, lighthearted romance novel, good for passing the time when you're looking for something to read.

   4 stars. "After the Green Tea, Why Do All the Protagonists Want Me?" By Li Mozi. It's quite good. (Although the protagonist is a heartthrob, it's not the kind of writing that constantly describes how handsome and beautiful he is. Instead, the protagonist's personal charm is highlighted through plot points.) The early and middle parts don't focus too much on ambiguous relationships, and it's more like a friendship story. (The plot progresses naturally, and you can understand why the protagonist's "friends" fall for him later on.) The daily life in the entertainment industry is also quite interesting. It's worth reading.

    Curator note

    2 stars. "The Poor Little Guy Holds a Refreshing Novel Script" by Li Wenjiu. Not good, not bad, just average. Although the title is "The Poor Little Guy Holds a Refreshing Novel Script," it's not really a refreshing novel overall. The game-based setting is 50%, and the romance is 50%. There's very little description of the protagonist's smooth sailing in everything he does. Or rather, because there's so much game romance, the satisfying feeling of the protagonist's successful revenge, academic achievements, and unstoppable dominance in the game is almost negligible (revenge relies on family, and there's little description of the villains' fate or the protagonist's benefits; the story of him successfully getting into university through self-study is glossed over; the protagonist's gaming skills are clearly good, but the focus is on his game success and romance, with little or no mention of his gaming skills and the admiration he receives from other players). Although it's labeled "refreshing novel," strictly speaking, it's more of a sweet romance novel than a refreshing one.
