They wanted him to try an open-world historical game that claimed to recreate reality at a one-to-one scale. Hoping to win a huge cash prize, Yang Yiyu happily accepted. With a max-level beta account, he gleefully entered the game world. But the game seemed a little too realistic. For instance, when he took his fans’ advice and 25.1kFavorites32.7kClicks/ch83.7kGifts

   Wow, what a great female lead... And there's only a little bit of her... It's so heartwarming, it warms my heart. The female lead is naturally cunning, which is so satisfying to watch. She says cute things but does the most ruthless things. The Eighth Route Army is truly a husky-type nation; their fighting spirit, regardless of age or gender, is incredibly endearing. To put it simply, the Eighth Route Army is a typical hot-blooded idiot type, saying things like "Let's fight!" And "Long live the gods!" Before charging in to fight and kill. The female lead being a god is so satisfying to watch; she has such a maternal glow, and she seems to look at her people with a motherly tenderness.

   My top historical live stream ever! Excellent writing, insightful. It made me laugh and cry at the same time—laughing at the interesting historical anecdotes and feeling the weight and sorrow of the historians' work. But history is paved with the unwavering ambition of generations. I learned so much from it, seeing a real, diverse, and vibrant history unlike textbooks or short videos. Excellent ideas, superb writing skills, the author's high literary cultivation, and vivid imagery—I was often amazed by the author's descriptions. The same people-centered historical perspective, and the positive message is reassuring. A rare gem! I'll definitely rewatch it. (It's finished! [Sprinkling flowers])

   A serene, mythical feel. It feels like this is what a true god is like—not stirring up trouble, but observing from the sidelines, indifferent to human entanglements. A short story, perfect for a quick read.

   The Empress is wonderful, the Empress is brilliant! Those who like strong female characters are in for a treat; Zhao Zhao's sole focus throughout is turning everyone into laborers, it feels like only the male leads are love-struck. Fans of infrastructure projects will also find the satisfying feeling of building from scratch and winning the hearts of the people. The female lead is very charming; I really like independent women who can think for themselves and make their own judgments. The author enjoys writing vivid scene descriptions, which I personally love. Seeing the people in the story achieve happiness—that's the true meaning of infrastructure development! (Also ongoing)

6. 6 全 The Whole Class Drops into Dream of the Red Chamber 全班空降红楼之后 Romantic Gravity浪漫引力Danmei (BL)784k WordsOngoing On the eve of the college entrance exam, 21 students from a top senior-year class were bound to the Happiness Value System and transmigrated together into the resentment-filled world of Dream of the Red Chamber. These students knew everything from astronomy to geography, could compose poems with the best of them, and were fit enough to compete in an Ironman triathlon. To earn a chance to go home, they had to raise the happiness values of more than 1,000 characters from the book to at least 60. 35.8kFavorites36.8kClicks/ch81.6kGifts

   Curator note

   A very different kind of Dream of the Red Chamber novel. The charm of a group time-travel story lies in the sense of family and mutual support. The writing is good; the author seems to have a very detailed understanding of Dream of the Red Chamber, and while reading, I also saw another side of the Dream of the Red Chamber world. The ensemble cast and the romantic storylines are equally important; at least the youthful emotions are handled very delicately. The friendships among classmates are especially wonderful; everyone is working hard to return home and also trying to change this world. At least, I felt that youthful spirit in my reading. But that damned system! Who will rule this vast land?! I came back to leave a review after seeing the latest chapter. Now the plot has entered a completely new chapter, and what's most touching about the ensemble cast is that everyone is working together with a single-minded focus on the same goal… So wonderful! Long live idealists!! (Also currently being serialized [empty bowl][empty bowl][empty bowl] Can't wait for updates)

Countless departed souls are reborn here, receiving the ultimate judgment according to the deeds of their lives. This is an unbreakable rule. And yet, even within an unbreakable rule, there are inevitably a few small exceptions. Because the causes and debts from certain lives are simply too vast, the established rules cannot settle them. Some emperors of the ages, burdened by deep and stubborn obsessions, can always appeal again and 28.2kFavorites36.2kClicks/ch106.8kGifts

   Curator note

   This work skillfully blends the autocracy of a feudal emperor with Liu Che's own political instincts. As a historical novel, it's an excellent piece. It stays true to history while also incorporating elements of later interpretation. The author, Shi Zi, remains as eccentric as ever, creating characters endlessly. The humor is consistently plentiful, and reading it with the accompanying commentary enhances the experience. Actually, the author's other book is also good, but I prefer the Han Dynasty. Highly recommended.

8. 8 重 Reborn as a Director, but First, Let’s Get Some Fries 重生导演，但整点薯条 Lantern Shell灯笼壳子No CP511k WordsCompleted The main story is complete.

   Curator note

   The author has a strong storytelling ability; each script is very interesting and makes you want to see the actual production (can the author film it themselves for me?). The main characters are also very interesting, and Xiao Fang Cat is really cute. The supporting characters are also memorable, like Sister Qian and Sister Qiu Qiu… each one leaves a unique impression on me. The forum-style writing also has a strong sense of entertainment industry drama, with abbreviations and slang, very reminiscent of Douban. The author has high artistic taste and their own understanding of film. (Completed, awaiting the epilogue)
