   Mainly based on British and American fiction, no romance. Damn it, why are you recommending this story to me when it's not even a month old yet? It's just so interesting, the prize pool keeps piling up, and I can't wait to see their emotional breakdown. I really want to hide it and wait for next year's harvest. Author, please update more chapters! [Please!] Consider it feeding the chickens, cluck cluck! Cluck cluck!

   Curator note

   This is a fanfiction about football, specifically the game "Modi" (or "The Flute"). It's a real-world football fanfiction where the main character has other romantic relationships before "Modi." The author's depiction of the brilliance and tragedy of the football world is incredibly moving. Before, I read football fanfiction just for fun, because I don't really enjoy watching football, and I didn't actually recognize the players. In fact, initially, reading football fanfiction wasn't much different from reading Demon Slayer or Detective Conan fanfiction. However, the football world depicted by the author made me feel a touch of the charm of football and the meaning behind their sacrifices, transcending the simple concept of a two-dimensional character.

You can see the comparison chart on Weibo at Jinjiang-Jifeng Buzhi. To reiterate, I don't consider having the same core premise a problem.

   No romantic pairing. Genre: "My own child is better than my own child." This genre is so interesting! After reading it, I frantically searched for similar stories, from Jinjiang to Qidian, then from Qidian to Tomato (a Chinese web novel platform), I was itching to write it myself! [Emoji] The emperor father is a typical feudal patriarch, having all the standard imperial trappings—three palaces, six courtyards, princes, and princesses—before the protagonist even came into the picture. After the protagonist's arrival, he evolves into a feudal patriarch version of Zihan's mother. The protagonist, as Zihan, is truly living the high life! [Crying emoji]

Everyone knows the members of the Aurora Order are powerful and beautiful, and all of them are idiots. So how do I prove I’m not a moron? Mephistopheles goes to work in good spirits, attends the Tarot Club, advances through the Sequences, and occasionally spasms and mutates, kneeling on the floor to c 28.9kFavorites32.2kClicks/ch159.3kGifts

   No romantic pairing, Lord of Mysteries fanfiction. But I think the no-romance aspect is the best for shipping; there's no forced sweetness, just natural bromance. [Noob emoji] The Last Mystery is so good! It's so good that I can only frantically search for fanfiction to alleviate my reading slump.

Well, my name doesn’t really matter, because I’m the male lead of an Omegaverse novel. My day-to-day job mainly consists of getting done this way and that by all sorts of men. In short, this is an Omegaverse novel with no plot at all. Ever since I awakened to self-awareness, I’ve been trying to figure out how to kill my own consciousness. But after I died, I was reborn in an entirely normal new world. I got a new Syste 65.4kFavorites86.7kClicks/ch115.3kGifts

   This is a Conan fanfiction with multiple branching endings. I've subscribed to all of it except for the side stories, but I'm giving it a 3.5-Star rating. It's not that the author wrote badly, it's just too good. The psychological trauma of the protagonist being used as a sex object in a pornographic novel is described too vividly. Using this kind of background setting in a stock market romance novel is really unsettling [crying]. The protagonist thinks he has been transmigrated and can be saved from the control of the pornographic novel's plot, and can finally live a normal life and cautiously try to build normal friendships. Then he hears that his friends actually want to sleep with him, and later they want him to accept their feelings. This is truly hellish! It made my conscience ache so much. On one hand, I felt so sad that he couldn't escape his fate [crying][crying], but on the other hand, I was completely engrossed in watching the romantic storylines. After watching it, I felt like I was a monster.

   This is a Hunter x Hunter fanfic featuring Hisoka as the main character. The story focuses on the romance between Hisoka and the ordinary human protagonist, written with great detail and a smooth emotional development. Besides the main storyline, the author also includes multiple-choice options, similar to those in a video game, leading to different plot developments and endings. Other characters have less screen time.

    No romantic pairing, a crossover between Detective Conan and Demon Slayer. I've never watched Demon Slayer, this is the first Demon Slayer fanfiction I've ever read, and it really helped me appreciate Giyuu's linguistic artistry; I laughed from beginning to end. It made me want to watch the Demon Slayer anime.

    This is a crossover between Tsuna and Yoshiki, from Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Demon Slayer, Bungou Stray Dogs, and Cursed Edition. I haven't finished reading it yet, but so far, the highlight of this one is that it's a one-sided crush on Tsuna from beginning to end. There aren't any messy love triangles or diverse romantic storylines. The other characters' romantic relationships are mostly friendships. Most of the fanfiction I've read before felt like I was just going to a fanfiction world and trying out every single character. [Clown] Except for fanfiction specifically written about shipping, if a pairing is confirmed, then they should just live happily ever after [crying emoji]. Don't add those weird plots about best friends or brothers being jealous and fighting.
