   Some of the earlier descriptions were quite good, but in a cultivation world where strength reigns supreme, how can the female protagonist establish herself without cultivating? Getting involved in business and interpersonal relationships just feels too risky.

   Curator note

   The male lead is pretty idiotic; I think I pointed out his flaws in the comments section of the first few chapters. He acts like a capitalist, gets jealous easily, throws tantrums, and is rude, etc.

3. 3 独21+ Claiming the Childhood Sweetheart 独占青梅 Faraway Purple Mountain远山紫Romance277k WordsCompleted 26.7kFavorites25kClicks/ch6kGifts

   Curator note

   I tried a traditional romance novel and it was so saccharine! [Laughing and crying emoji] The male lead is silent, just constantly kissing and possessing the female lead, who falls for him as she's pushed the boundaries of his possessiveness. I bought twelve chapters but couldn't finish it. It's not appealing as a sugary read, the plot lacks originality, just a mediocre, lackluster story.

4. 4 单 One-Way Match 单向匹配 The Pigeon Ascends to Immortality鸽子飞升Romance404k WordsCompleted [Male Alpha, Female Omega] [Marriage Before Love] In her third year as an undocumented resident in this ABO world, Qiu Zheng is assigned a match. Her match is the best of the best: a high-quality Alpha with a high-ranking pheromone profile. Apart from the fact that she, an undocumented resident, is his one-hundred-percent match, he seems to have no other “flaws.” On the day they meet, the man looks her up and down, his frown making his disdain obvious. He slides a contract across the table: on 68.8kFavorites82.5kClicks/ch46.7kGifts

   Curator note

   I'm furious! I read the author's new novel, "The Charmer," and then went back to read this old one, and I was so angry. The female lead marries the male lead because they're a perfect match. She's expected to satisfy his physical needs, accompany him to visit his elders, but there's no wedding, no financial compensation, and he treats her with disdain. He only gives her his first gift after a year. You'd expect an equal relationship with mutual satisfaction (the female lead pretends to be in her fertile period), but the man can do whatever he wants all day, and if he says he can't touch her, he can't touch her—not even holding hands. When he says it's okay, he then tacitly agrees. It's a very unequal agreement, worse than the female leads in sugar daddy/sugar baby stories; at least the sugar daddy gets paid. And if he says he doesn't care about the formalities of marriage and only wants to satisfy his physical needs, he expects her to cultivate family relationships and appease the elders, but there's no wedding, and he complains about her cheap clothes and doesn't buy her anything. Seriously, even if you hire an actress to play the wife and appease the elders, you have to pay her! The female lead is a complete victim of injustice.

The moment Jiang Ying dies in a car accident, after a lifetime of being dragged down by her lovesick mother and her social-climbing father, she feels relieved: at last, she's free.

   Curator note

   Although I enjoy watching "The Charismatic One," it felt like the female lead was always thinking about the fates and futures of the various male guests, not caring much about her own future. At most, she said she wanted her mother and herself to leave her scumbag father, but she didn't really follow through. The rest of the time seemed to be spent cultivating relationships with a few boys. Being called a "charismatic one" wasn't really that impressive, and even after being reborn, she still had a male genius steal her thunder. It also seemed like her family fortune was taken by other men in her previous life. It was all so frustrating to watch. I left before it went premium [laughing and crying emoji].

6. 6 靠21+ Bluffing My Way into Becoming the Strongest Goddess with the Fourth Cataclysm 靠忽悠第四天灾成为最强女神 No Pork, Just Fish不吃猪肉吃鱼肉Romance556k WordsCompleted 12.5kFavorites13.4kClicks/ch18.3kGifts

   Curator note

   The female lead is a lord, but she is "slender and beautiful" and likes to use tears and feigned weakness to ask others for favors. The player-versus-player (PvP) competition describes NPCs admiring the male lead's strength by saying "a pretty girl blushed at him," which I dislike. It treats girls like objects for romantic relationships, like those tools used by the screaming school heartthrobs and bullies in old-fashioned school novels.

7. 7 坏 Bad Blood 坏血 Su Ta苏他Romance260k WordsCompleted A light mystery with crime elements. (Please don’t read too much into the themes based on the blurb or opening. The whole story has the same positive values as my previous novels. Enjoy!) The police point to Ding Ke’s photo and ask the suspect, Li Mujin, “Do you remember how she died?” The devil, Li Mujin, smiles calmly. “I only remember how she cried out.” Not scary, not horrifying, not hard to understand. There’s no lengthy forensic-investigation section, so it’s easy to read in one sitting. 61.7kFavorites82.6kClicks/ch6.1kGifts

   Curator note

   Some people recommend this book because they think the female lead's abuse of the male lead is something to be read as a nightmare or a dream. I dislike the male lead's character setting, with a bunch of dissolute friends throwing slutty parties. I dislike casting women as actors; a good spouse should have a sense of reputation management. I dislike the idea of giving the male lead a charm so that a bunch of women fall in love with him and do crazy things. Furthermore, what's so cruel about a Celestial Dragon who combines politics and business, gains both money and power, and then can't forget his beloved pet after it faked its death? [Laughing and crying with facepalm] Aside from physical harm/loss of power/status/real imprisonment, I don't think the Celestial Dragon's abuse is real. The idea that the female lead abuses the male lead solely through emotions and a love-struck mentality feels like a psychological victory. I dropped it after five chapters.

8. 8 肝 Crossover Horror: Stardew Valley, but with Horror Mods [综恐]肝露谷，但恐怖mod A Long Day Like Burning长昼如焚Romance436k WordsCompleted [Main story complete. Working on slice-of-life bonus chapters] At your best friend's recommendation, you bought the hot new game, "Grind Valley", hoping to experience the simple life of a farmer in a small town, working from 7 a.m. to 7 a.m., and escape the city's 996 work schedule.

   Curator note

   I'll put it in for now, even though I'm planning to drop it. I really liked the combination of Stardew Valley and horror elements; it was very suspenseful and fun. However, the male lead felt too abrupt. What was supposed to be a story of a simple-minded farmer struggling in a horror world turned into a story of a powerful town lord protecting him and letting him run rampant in a horror world… One of the most satisfying aspects of The Fourth Calamity was that the protagonist believed it was a game world and therefore wasn't afraid to play around. Adding a super-powerful male lead to protect her greatly weakened this characteristic of The Fourth Calamity. The female lead even directly asked the male lead, "So you'll protect me, right?" It might have been a polite remark, but the male lead still stole the show. If he weren't the most powerful character, and was just like a balloon or a headless statue, I feel the plot would be less affected. I dislike some comments like, "How dare XX bully the female lead? Watch out, the male lead will make you regret it!" Early on, the male lead, driven by jealousy, turned everything the female lead picked up into expired or spoiled items, and then didn't replace them. He improved a little later. In the latest chapter (29), I hate the "hero saves the damsel in distress" trope. What's the point of the Fourth Calamity's "hero saves the damsel in distress"? Are they trying to pull this "I conquer the male character, the male character conquers the world" kind of thing?

   I read this author's "Obsessive Male Lead's White Moonlight" when I was in high school. The female lead in that book was resilient, strong, and adorable, and the writing style was quite humorous. I still enjoyed this one, but some things feel outdated; at least, they make me uncomfortable now. The male lead is young, incredibly wealthy, standing at the pinnacle of global wealth, and can swear casually. The female lead is poor and hardworking, yet still faces a class divide, is ridiculed, and tries to climb the social ladder. Why did they have to create a brainless, vicious female supporting character to bully the female lead? Is it because if no one bullies her, the male lead, with his awful personality and low character, wouldn't have any chance to be kind to her? He's sarcastic and cynical from the moment they meet, their initial romance wasn't sweet at all, and he even looks down on her spending habits, saying if she's poor, why doesn't he hold a year-end party and give away some money? He got jealous and then gave the female lead the cold shoulder, and then the comments section started saying "The male lead is jealous" and "Waiting for you to be proven wrong." It feels like they're watching from the perspective of a known happy ending and shipping the couple, but from the female lead's perspective, the male lead doesn't seem worthy of being her partner... Even the newly introduced Xiao Jiang is more polite and respectful than him [eye roll]

    I read this based on a recommendation on Xiaohongshu. Perhaps I'm not used to this kind of writing style where the female lead is mentally ill; it's so jumpy and dramatic. After four chapters, the background information still isn't clear. The female lead can speak a dialect and communicate with the locals one minute, and then she can't the next. The author is male, but so far I haven't noticed anything problematic. He replies to other people's comments with "hahaha," which makes him seem like a more established author. That's all for now.

    Curator note

    It's sweet, but there are some things I didn't like: the male lead is given too much of a charm – good grades, handsome, popular, and good at games. The female lead is just described as carefree and cute. It feels like it's written for an average girl to identify with, but I wanted to see the female lead shine. Even an ordinary girl can be charming; there's no need to constantly portray the male lead as a heartthrob. The female lead's mother even felt sorry for the male lead being bullied by her. Some commenters felt sorry for the male lead, believing that the female lead was toying with his feelings by staying with him despite not liking him, and that she would suffer the consequences. They felt that only the male lead was pursuing a purely platonic love story. (Don't Love Too Much) I can't take it anymore, the more I look at it, the more it reminds me of: girls enduring too much hardship in order to be loved.

12. 12 朕 I, the Emperor, Am an Otome Game and a City-Building Simulator 朕，乙游，但基建模拟器 Milk Tea Jellyfish奶昔水母Romance673k WordsOngoing [Keywords: System / infrastructure development / What have I done wrong?] The new dynasty has been established, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt.

    Curator note

    The political intrigue felt very simplistic. I initially intended to read it as a lighthearted read, but in the latest chapter, the grassland prince was both stupid and pretentious, like a rabid superhero. It wasn't the kind of stupidity the author intentionally portrayed; it felt like the author lacked writing skill and tried to create a love-hate relationship between rivals, thinking it was cool, but it turned out to be a mess. I'm dropping it.

    I initially didn't follow it because the first two chapters after it went VIP were quite weak. But then, it suddenly became a bombshell [laughing and crying emoji]. It felt like it was whitewashing Emperor Jiajing, and the addition of the female lead's camera made it seem like the old emperor was a wise ruler. Plus, the female lead, while seemingly indifferent and belittling imperial power, was simultaneously enjoying the people's wealth. For a detailed warning, check out Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book).

    Judging from the date, this is an older story, and it suffers from the common flaws of older works: various verbal sparring and insulting tropes. The male lead is a spoiled, immature kid who bullies the female lead, and seems unworthy of her. However, the author seems to love him more than the female lead, as evidenced by the prominent cover illustration, and it appears she personally prefers this type of character. (I'm leaving early.)

    Curator note

    I was a bit prejudiced after reading the tweet. I thought the senior brother was the gentle, devoted type, because I like that kind of character and it seems suitable for a female lead in a power-up story—he wouldn't steal the spotlight. But actually, that's not the case. The senior brother has a bit of a temper, and he was initially quite wary of the female lead, while the female lead had too much of a romanticized view of him, creating a slight imbalance in their feelings. I'll leave it for now and maybe pick it up again sometime.

    Curator note

    I dropped it after reading a certain chapter. The earlier descriptions made me think the Zhen family, the female lead's clan, was a well-established, united, and loving family. But suddenly, it became a power struggle for leadership and a man started challenging the female lead. What I found particularly absurd was that a family seemingly descended from a female high priestess, the Nineteenth Princess, wouldn't allow the female lead to be included in the family genealogy just because her mother was a single mother. [Facepalm] I didn't want to read any further. I'm not sure if I'll continue reading. Another point is that the female lead's first job in the modern world involves a girl who was raped and is willing to sacrifice part of her life to go back in time for revenge. It's not that it's illogical, it's too illogical, but I've read so many stories about women being raped, I'm a bit tired of it. Besides this, are there no other desperate situations that require going back in time to make amends? I find it annoying that the only painful thought is a woman being raped.

    I subscribed to about 80% of it before dropping it. The female lead is adorable, and I really enjoyed her power-up story. However, the male lead's talent—the strongest gene in the entire universe—meant the female lead could never surpass him, which was a bit frustrating. I couldn't continue watching. I don't like how they casually set an insurmountable peak of power for the male lead.
