A Collection of Great Reads 好饭整理

1. 1 拯 To Save All Living Beings, Start by Breaking Up the Ships 拯救苍生从拆CP走起 Nan Ge Yu Zhuan南歌玉转Danmei (BL)864k WordsCompleted The entire story is being carefully revised Also, if you're rereading, please don't post spoilers in the earlier chapters. It can ruin the reading experience for newcomers. I. He Ting Tong lived in a chaotic cultivation novel that had everything: people who transmigrated into a book, Systems, and powerful figures who had been reborn. His role: an utterly ordinary, uninvolved passerby. In this bizarre world, where people who transmigrated into a book were as common as dogs and the reborn were e 198.3kFavorites189.5kClicks/ch402kGifts

   It's a great read! The author is incredibly skilled at depicting the lively and joyful lives of a large group of young cultivators in a sect, radiating youthful energy. If you enjoy this kind of story, you can also check out the author's other book, "Don't Get Close to Sword Cultivators, You'll Be Unlucky," which is also very fun and full of mutual encouragement among peers. The pacing is a bit more challenging when the story expands beyond the sect to include families, but it's a significant improvement over "Sword Cultivators." Overall, it's definitely worth reading!

Huo Zhenye knows from the moment he meets Bai Zhun that his temper is bad, he's delicate, and he's picky 171.2kFavorites275.6kClicks/ch134.6kGifts

   The plot incorporates folklore and detective elements but isn't scary, and the ending carries a touch of patriotism. Ironically, the author's description of the seme bringing the uke a ton of food is quite memorable, making it almost a food-themed novel. The pacing gets a bit off after the senior brother appears, but it's still manageable if you skip ahead and focus on the young couple.

3. 3 全 First Kill on the Server 全服首杀 Year-End年终Danmei (BL)1.2M WordsCompleted Xu Yue woke up to find he had become a little monster in a fantasy world. Two slimes to the left were the old couple next door. A young dragon to the right was a middle schooler from downstairs. They were different species, all equally baffled... until Xu Yue accidentally opened his status screen. Game developer Xu Yue: Uh, I think this is my game. To protect his neighbors, he had no choice but to work hard at becoming the strongest BOSS. Step one of the plan: make friends with a player. Wait 135.9kFavorites130.1kClicks/ch414.3kGifts

   A couple with slightly off-the-beaten-hearts (in a good way), their love is so sweet, I've always been chasing after you. The plot is quite well-rounded, with many foreshadowing elements resolved later. The villain is a bit disgusting, but in the end, they achieve a perfect ending 💪. A bit like a mad dog turning into a loyal dog element?

4. 4 救 Help! 救命 Year-End年终Danmei (BL)790k WordsCompleted Lately, a terrifying tale has been making the rounds among evil spirits: when hunting humans, don’t go near a young man in a red T-shirt who keeps yelling for help, and don’t get involved with the strange, handsome male ghost at his side either, or you’ll suffer severe psychological trauma. The confident monsters and demons: Seriously? I don’t believe it. I’ll see for myself. Later, the leader of the evil spirits gripped his teacup, his voice grave. “What exactly do you want?” The young man in t 90.6kFavorites75kClicks/ch322.7kGifts

   Curator note

   It's a horror/infinite flow story, but the protagonist is so strong that he carries the entire game, making it less scary. Following the serialization is enjoyable, and the supporting characters are well-developed. The male lead isn't very bright, a situation where the female lead is the intellectual and the male lead is the physical attacker. The protagonist's background is tragic, but anyway, it has a happy ending.

5. 5 白 Before the Snow 白雪之前 AyeAyeCaptainDanmei (BL)354k WordsCompleted In this carefree age Before the snow Everything began with roses And ended in flames Theme: A tribute to life 85.6kFavorites39.1kClicks/ch134.3kGifts

   Western setting. A heads-up: bad ending, but following the serialization was very enjoyable. There were quite a few plot twists, but overall, Captain America is my god.

6. 6 不 Stay Away from Sword Cultivators, or You'll Be Unlucky 不要靠近剑修会变不幸 Nan Ge Yu Zhuan南歌玉转Danmei (BL)585k WordsCompleted The sword cultivator alternate-universe side story can be found in my collection, “Two Sword Cultivators Singing Among the Green Willows.” 1. Cheng Xi transmigrates into a book, straight into a hellish situation. His hometown, Qiyun Immortal Manor, is a blight on the cultivation world and is doomed to be wiped out. He is a weak, useless villain, and, worst of all, his timing is impeccable: he transmigrates just as the brick in the original shou’s hand is 0.001 meters from his head. And after ca 65kFavorites76.9kClicks/ch52.3kGifts

   Curator note

   I enjoy stories where powerful figures pretend to be weak while actually being strong. The early episodes in the academy were quite fun, but later on, things got a bit confusing. The boss battles and the protagonist's background weren't as appealing to me.

7. 7 鉴 Case Study of a Ruined Comic Protagonist 鉴定一下崩坏漫画男主 When Shall I Set Out for the Hundred Rivers何时赴百川Danmei (BL)1.5M WordsCompleted One-sentence blurb: This is probably a story about a reborn savior trying to recruit his archenemy to his side, only to be recruited in turn by his enemy and fall completely under his spell. Also known as A Guide to Revolution in Another World. In this fantasy world of gods and magic, the Scarlet Tyrant beheaded the ol 48.1kFavorites38.8kClicks/ch228.6kGifts

   Curator note

   Two intelligent people fall in love. The protagonist's distinct personality, his anti-feudal stance and support for equality, shines brightly in the story. However, after the revolution begins, it feels like the story is fast-forwarded, and there's a lot more to write about.

8. 8 在 Posing as a Genius at Magic University 在魔法大学伪装天才 Questions Without Answers有问无答Danmei (BL)593k WordsCompleted How many steps does it take for an ordinary person with average talent to pass themselves off as a genius? Hillno answers: Just two. Step one: Crush the geniuses beneath your feet. Step two: Earn their admiration. Everyone knows that at Yamis University of Magic, the prestigious Black Magic College sits at the top of the pecking order; and for the past ten years, its most outstanding student has been the campus idol, Senior Brother Hillno; and the mentor who personally took Hillno on after grad 37kFavorites47.8kClicks/ch29.8kGifts

   Curator note

   It's a Western fantasy story set in a magic academy with teachers and students. I really liked it when they were still in school, but I couldn't continue watching after the main characters graduated and started further studies. Both main characters are very nice people, and it's nice to see them being a couple.

9. 9 老 After My Teacher Turned Into an Incubus 老师变成魅魔以后 Black Sugar Simmered with Sour Plums黑糖煮酸梅Danmei (BL)136k WordsCompleted The traditional Chinese edition has been published~ See https://www.weibo.com/2184559335/HlFQCzURI?from=page_1005052184559335_profile&wvr=6&mod=weibotime A simplified Chinese edition from Haitang Publishing will be released soon.

   Curator note

   Delicious?? A story about a master and apprentice entangled in magic. I remember the trigger point was that the seme is impure, but it's not too bad in the context of the story. The specific changes in attitude involve spoilers, but it's also a story of a loyal dog turning into a mad dog and then back into a puppy.

10. 10 从 After Returning from the Infinite Game 从无限游戏回来后 Shi Jin时今Danmei (BL)391k WordsCompleted There are always people who seem like the protagonist of a story: they escape from a horror game, shoulder the responsibility of joining their companions to defeat the monsters that escaped alongside them and save the world, and end up living in an ordinary citizen’s home for one reason or another. By day, they play the part of an ordinary high school student; by night, they fight monsters and level up. The ordinary citizen is kind and good-hearted, always forgiving the protagonist for coming ho 177.1kFavorites249.2kClicks/ch152.6kGifts

    Curator note

    This is a pure wish-fulfillment story. The fun lies in the contrast between the high school student's adopted son saving the world and his unexpectedly useless father being the biggest cheat code. The selling out provides a contrast for the protagonist's submissive role, similar to the contrast between the unreliable adult and the incredibly powerful protagonist in Gintama. The downside is that those expecting a romance might find it less enjoyable, as there's practically no romance; the protagonist is essentially just background. Anyway, it's not very long. If you're looking for a lighthearted, wish-fulfillment story with a seemingly weak protagonist, you might want to give it a try.

11. 11 邪 I Am Actually A Dark God?! 邪神竟是我自己 Ning Shijiu宁世久Danmei (BL)1.2M WordsCompleted This is your third year since you transmigrated to another world. Despite starting out unable to understand the language or read the script, you worked relentlessly, passed the Inquisition's entrance exam, and became a civil servant with insurance and a pension. Humanity in this world has retreated into underground cities. They face more than cramped quarters, scarce oxygen, and famine: lurking in the darkness are cultists of the Evil Gods and monsters. The Inquisition stands on the front lines 150.2kFavorites168.8kClicks/ch568.8kGifts

    Curator note

    The Western fantasy setting is appealing, somewhat like a version of Arknights versus Mystery. The pros and cons are that while the romance is limited, it's very engaging, and the plot is decent. There are a few parts where supporting characters have a lot of screen time, so those who don't like this style should be aware of that.

12. 12 你 Have You Eaten? 你吃了吗？ A Piece of Lotus Root一节藕Danmei (BL)1.2M WordsCompleted [Main story complete. Extra chapters will update every other day, or every two or three days.] The apocalypse arrived, and as order gradually collapsed, Wu Heng watched helplessly as the people around him died one by one, while lucky survivors awakened supernatural powers in succession. Only he remained as ordinary and unremarkable as he had been at school. Wu Heng stayed home with his parents and younger sister, too afraid to go anywhere. Their food supplies dwindled, and one night Wu Heng ove 121.7kFavorites110.6kClicks/ch385kGifts

    Curator note

    My feelings are mixed. The initial tension was good, and the protagonist's lack of humanity was quite captivating. However, after the protagonist's sister pulled off something outrageous, the plot took a sharp turn for the worse, becoming chaotic and unwatchable. Furthermore, after the two protagonists got their first sexual experience, they became incredibly close and involved in a lot of suggestive scenes; I guess I came here for a superpower-leveling story (sadly). If you like superpower-leveling stories, you can watch the beginning, but forget about it later.

13. 13 我 My Fate, Too. 我命也命。 Wild Deer in the Fields野有死鹿Danmei (BL)511k WordsCompleted Zhang Deng felt like he was done for. As an editor, he reported plagiarism, only to be attacked online by the plagiarist's influencer fans. The comments were so vile they could drown the whole backend. On the day he was so mentally frayed he saw Wei Yuanye, he thought he'd lost his mind: Wei Yuanye, a man so handsome it was explosive, with a temper even more explosive than his looks. He took down the person spreading rumors in a few punches, almost turning Zhang Deng into the next big influence 12.3kFavorites9.5kClicks/ch22.9kGifts

    Curator note

    The beginning was hilarious; the protagonist had a somewhat miserable side, and the arguments between everyone were both realistic and funny. Later, after the protagonist went to the system space, things became much more chaotic, so I didn't finish it. However, the early banter and arguments (with the supporting characters) were quite entertaining.

I simply obey no one but myself., Sartre There are two things that matter most in Hanshan Wuqi's life: belonging and passion. He lost the former, then found it again. The latter carried him through a long, endless night and kept him fighting his way forward on this so-called “wrong path.” In plain English, this is the story of a cold, detached guy who joins the volleyball club to get in shape and improve himself, only to gradual 20.8kFavorites18.9kClicks/ch187.6kGifts

    Haikyuu!! Fanfiction, main pairing is Sakuhaya. It's incredibly good, the match descriptions are excellent, the romance might be a little understated but develops naturally, and watching the protagonists gradually open their hearts and embrace the future is truly enjoyable.

I’ll start writing it in the next couple of days. Theme: Study hard and keep improving! 95.4kFavorites109.6kClicks/ch187.4kGifts

    Curator note

    This is a Western fantasy novel, and as the name suggests, it mainly focuses on how the protagonist establishes a magic university, and it's not a pseudonym story. Later on, it leans towards an ensemble cast, focusing primarily on what the students do together, with the "protagonist" having less screen time. However, watching the school gradually grow and the students develop still provides a strange sense of satisfaction, similar to what the protagonist experiences.

16. 16 飞 Snow on the Flying Wild Geese 飞鸿祚雪 Wine-Tinged Green Mountains酒染山青Danmei (BL)560k WordsCompleted Reborn Narcissus, younger top | Complete, thank you for supporting the official release The title comes from Su Shi: “As if a migrating swan had trodden across snowy mud.” Ji Miao died in the depths of winter in the second year of Yuanxi. To fulfill his father’s wish, he schemed all his life, placing his younger brother on the throne. He himself was branded a traitor and beheaded at the Meridian Gate as a public example. Only when he bared his neck to be executed did he finally understand: the 84.5kFavorites60.6kClicks/ch109.5kGifts

    Curator note

    A classic BL novel, "Narcissus." Because it's a story about narcissus, even a seemingly sunny but actually naive character has a dark side. However, the differences between the two are more pronounced, creating a feeling that the submissive character initially tries to seduce the dominant one but later becomes the one being dominated. Overall, there's a very faint hint of coquettishness in the later episodes (?). Overall, the flaws don't detract from the overall brilliance.

17. 17 与 Parallel to You 与你平行 Returning Geese in Falling Snow归鸿落雪Danmei (BL)558k WordsCompleted Chen Yilin is sullen and rebellious. He dropped out of school early and feels like his life has turned into a hopeless mess. At eighteen, he unexpectedly gains a strange ability: he can see another Chen Yilin in a parallel universe. The other one is handsome, clever, and rich. He’s a model student, so well-behaved it’s almost unbelievable, and he leads the kind of life Chen Yilin would never even dare to dream of. Bitterness and resentment slowly take root in Chen Yilin’s heart. He envies him, 47.8kFavorites35.2kClicks/ch169.9kGifts

    Narcissus XP Special Attack: The initial scenes where the two were trying to hide their abnormalities really gave off a sense of turbulent tension beneath the surface of everyday life. The early episodes were absolutely my cup of tea; it felt like two wounded kittens huddling together for warmth, but actually both being Flerken – so adorable! Later, after one of them revealed their identity, it wasn't as good as the early episodes, but the flaws don't detract from the overall enjoyment. 😆

18. 18 迷 Lost 迷途 Year-End年终Danmei (BL)1.2M WordsCompleted The demon kings at the bottom of the Abyss have always been stronger with each generation. The previous demon king was only killed after wiping out the expeditionary army four times. Not a single race has dared to scout this generation's strength. The prophesied strongest swordsman is nowhere to be found, and the next demon king's expedition looks doomed. The pope is so anxious there's no hair left to pull out. Then the demon king climbed out by himself. A dreamless hero gong × a hopeless dem 105kFavorites98kClicks/ch188.1kGifts

    Curator note

    Western fantasy + demon king and hero is my thing. The romance progresses incredibly fast, and it's so nice to see the two of them relying on each other. The plot moves forward very seriously, gradually revealing their identities and the truth of the world. It's great to watch these two newbies grow into characters who unconsciously show off their abilities. The only downside might be a few minor inconsistencies between early and later plot points, but it's not a big deal. Overall, a very enjoyable reading experience! 😆

    Curator note

    This is a mecha novel. The early episodes, with the protagonist reminiscing about his past with a touch of widowhood, are very enjoyable. It's established early on that the other protagonist is the same person. The plot is more important than the romance. Due to some spoilers, the two main characters have a very high initial likability, but for some reason, the early romance feels a bit old-fashioned, making it a little difficult for me to read. Overall, the flaws don't outweigh the merits.
