   I barely finished reading the main text; it started strong but declined in quality. It's only suitable for those who prefer a pure female lead. The beginning is good, but the female lead's behavior changes drastically to the point of feeling out of character (OOC). Moreover, from a modern perspective, many of the supporting characters don't deserve such treatment. Also, the fact that both the male and female leads had over ten years of marriage in their previous lives, yet they're forced to be virgins in both lifetimes, is quite baffling.

2. 2 炼 Artifact Refining Master [Infinite] 炼器师［无限] Rong Xiaoxuan荣小轩No CP1.0M WordsCompleted In an unlimited game called Hell’s Border, players have no miraculous skills or heaven-defying bloodlines. They can rely only on items to clear the dungeons. But while the dungeons’ death rate remains alarmingly high, the drop rate for items is frighteningly low. Some spend a fortune for items; others scheme and strug 27kFavorites26.7kClicks/ch59.3kGifts

   I've only read ten chapters, and the writing style seems mediocre. One problem is the tendency to create brainless supporting characters and the stereotypical portrayal of women. Another issue is that 70% of the perspective in those ten chapters focuses on the supporting characters, leaving me with almost no understanding of the main character after reading 30,000 words.

   There's no romantic pairing. The beginning was good, but it got a bit boring with all the repetition later on.

Thank you for supporting the official release~ [Comments about pirated copies or real-life people will be deleted. Please respect one another. Thank you, everyone.] If life were judged by the roles of protagonist and supporting character, then Xie Xizhao seemed to have been cast as a cannon-fodder character in every one of his lives.

   A decent, satisfying read. The plot twists are a bit overpowered, so don't overthink it, but it's definitely enjoyable. The author is really good at writing seemingly gentle, controlling DOM (dominant force) characters. The downside is that some parts are a bit exaggerated and feel a bit awkward.

5. 5 警 Police Dog 警犬 Tian Yun Wuge天韵五歌No CP527k WordsCompleted He used to be a strapping six-foot-tall man, but after an accident, he was unlucky enough to turn into a little police dog. At first, he refused to accept it. Later: Fight organized crime and uphold justice, starting with me! Please add my ongoing novel, The Great Wei Dynasty's Number One Litigator, to your reading list. Theme: Work hard to overcome difficulties and make your life more exciting. 26.8kFavorites69.4kClicks/ch35.8kGifts

   This is a crime investigation novel told from the perspective of a police dog. The writing style is simple and the cases are not particularly complicated, but the fact that the main perspective is from a police dog makes it easy to read and enjoyable.

6. 6 情 Relationship Livestream: Let's Watch the Drama Online 情感直播，在线吃瓜 Ying Ci嬴辞Danmei (BL)534k WordsCompleted [A recommendation for my friend’s novel, Married Life of a Laid-Back Actor by Po Ya] [My next novel, I Went Viral Livestreaming Cemetery Sales, is another supernatural gossip novel in the same vein. It’s already underway.] Blurb: In the second semester of his senior year, Pei Yang was preparing to debut as an actor. But right before his debut, his agency ghosted him, deciding he had too much scandalous baggage. His manager felt sorry for him and found him a job to make ends meet: a suggestive m 59.4kFavorites111.5kClicks/ch44.9kGifts

   I'd rate it a 7 out of 10. It's basically a compilation of internet freaks, and most of the characters seem familiar from online browsing. There's a lot of character setup; the male lead is all-knowing but his backstory makes him seem like an ordinary person, which makes his character feel somewhat unrealistic. I didn't finish it. The gossip parts were entertaining, but seeing so many oddballs gets repetitive. I couldn't get into the romance; the idea of them meeting online, hitting it off, and then sleeping together after a few meetings... Well, it's pretty gay, not too BL (Boys' Love), acceptable but a bit boring.

7. 7 奉 Madam Fengxiao Is a Flower Girl [Crossover] 奉孝夫人是花姐[综] Zhai Baili翟佰里Romance1.3M WordsCompleted This novel has a 70% anti-theft ratio and a 72-hour anti-theft period. If you've purchased it but can't read it, try clearing your cache. There's nothing I can do about this crappy System, QAQ. A Tang Dynasty flower girl returns to the Three Kingdoms to flirt with Guo Fengxiao, and each wave is wilder than the last! A Wan, a flower girl, transmigrates to the Three Kingdoms and, through a twist of fate, takes the place of another bride to marry the short-lived genius Guo Fengxiao.

   I started reading it because of Guo Jia, but I only managed to read less than ten chapters. It's definitely relatively immature.

8. 8 我 I Still Want to Play Volleyball [Sports] 我还是想打排球[竞技] Wangwang Grilled Biscuits旺旺烤饼Danmei (BL)987k WordsCompleted Coming soon: The Lazy Top Student Is Always Being Courted. In his previous life, Xu He’s family was destroyed by a single phone call, leaving him saddled with debt. He had no choice but to give up volleyball and take up street parkour, which paid better. He initially kept a low profile and got by on competition prize money alone, but after winning several world championships, he became famous around the globe. Chinese fans stared at Xu He’s athletic record in di 54.2kFavorites86kClicks/ch148.7kGifts

   Well, the volleyball part was great, but the romance part felt like it was interfering with the kids' volleyball playing and was a bit annoying. So, I dropped it when I felt the romance was about to develop. Also, as a story about team sports, the ensemble cast wasn't particularly well-written; the most memorable characters in the end were still just the top and bottom.

9. 9 主 A Guide to Surviving as the Principal Wife 主母生存指南 Cola Ginger Soup可乐姜汤Romance1.2M WordsCompleted Bad news: Zhu Mingli transmigrates into a book and becomes the matriarch of a feudal household. Her husband is cold and indifferent, and on their wedding night he receives orders to leave the capital. System: Host, please raise the male lead’s affection for you. You can exchange accumulated experience points for beauty pills and body-shaping pills to win his heart Zhu Mingli: Wait! Look at it from a different angle!

   After reading the free parts, I found I quite enjoy reading these kinds of farming and management novels, but the pacing felt a bit slow and not very satisfying.

    I skimmed through it. The good points are the author's decent writing style; the protagonist, who's rather naive and obedient, doesn't come across as childish, which is quite rare. Also, the forum scenes are really sharp-tongued and realistic, but because they're so realistic and use abbreviations, I had some trouble understanding them. But honestly, it's not as good as the author's previous talent show book. Writing about a talent show always felt like there was more emotional entanglement than stage performance, and the protagonist couldn't carry the show. The pacing was also a bit off; there was far more description of the frustrating moments than the resolutions, making it less satisfying. Another uncomfortable point is that even though the protagonist who didn't have a romantic relationship gets one in the next part, the author insists on forcing the relationship into a completely pointless plot point just to give the couple a chance to appear. If the author really wanted to write a story where the protagonist is the dominant one, why not just label it BL (Boys' Love)?

11. 11 我EN Faking Blindness in the Cultivation World 我在修仙界装瞎 Little Fox in the Past小狐昔里No CP1.3M WordsCompleted Blurb: Wen Xu has been face-blind since birth. No matter how handsome or beautiful people are in the cultivation world, they all look like wooden posts to him. Of course, being face-blind doesn't stop him from cultivating and ascending to immortality. If anything, it's a huge incentive to work hard, because he truly can't remember anyone's face! His life is so hard. So, once he entered the gates of Yonglu Mountain, he decided to be blind. Well, at least until he cultivated his spiritual sense 90.4kFavorites156.1kClicks/ch356.3kGifts

    Curator note

    It's a relatively rare kind of cultivation-themed fantasy novel. The male protagonist's personal growth storyline is quite well-written, although the pacing is a bit weak and the overall enjoyment isn't particularly strong. But this is an unavoidable drawback of cultivation-themed novels; self-examination inevitably sacrifices enjoyment. Overall, it's still a very good read.

    As a light novel, it's quite enjoyable, but as a game-themed story, the game parts are poorly written. The game's mechanics are unclear after reading. The holographic aspect lacks a main storyline, and the esports section... Well, what should have been the climax—the esports' resurgence—only has a few chapters. It's obvious the author doesn't actually play games. I've subscribed to the entire main story, but I stopped reading the epilogue after it started focusing on the secondary couple.

    The premise was interesting, and the first modification subject was also good. However, after reading the first part, I discovered that the author changed the protagonist (the male lead), and he became the third modification subject... To be honest, what's the difference between this and a psychiatrist manipulating a patient's mental weaknesses to get together with them? This is a major trigger for me, so I'm dropping the story.
