   The plot is generally mediocre. One reader, Shennong, commented that after chapter 60, the female lead loses her captivating beauty as she's drawn into the world. Personally, I experienced visual fatigue after the first few chapters. Around chapter 5, there are several paragraphs, sometimes several in a row, where the female lead is described as beautiful and gentle, yet still undeniably so. There's a sense that everyone is merely a plot device, existing solely to advance the story—from the protagonist to the supporting characters to the cannon fodder, without exception.

   I got very sleepy while reading. The plot was interesting, and the world-building for the dungeons was clearly well-done, but the writing style just didn't hold my attention. I persevered through the first dungeon because of the concept, but I didn't really understand it. I bought the remaining nine chapters, but I was just too sleepy to read any further, so I gave up. Maybe we'll meet again if I keep writing; my only thought right now is that it's good for melatonin.

   The subscription count is 94/152, and I've read around chapter 40. Maybe it's just that the number of male leads has increased, and I'm not used to it yet? Or maybe the worldview just doesn't suit my taste, but I'll probably continue reading. "Tearing the Pillow While Sleeping" is still quite a gem among female-led horror stories. As far as I've read so far, the female lead is naturally naive, not a typical "sweet and innocent" type, nor is she so innocent she's secretly cunning; she's just a bit naive, but not stupid. On the contrary, she's quite intelligent, and I think she's a well-rounded student? I can't remember much else. I was following the serialization at the time, and the only thing that really stands out is the female lead.

   There was no follow-up. I bought 137, read up to 114, and then got tired of it. Because of the crossover nature of the anime/manga series, the ratio of female to male characters is overwhelmingly high, which is a drawback for me personally. I wouldn't expect authors to create more female characters in spin-offs; I usually just filter them and then watch whatever I want. But this is definitely a point of contention. The female lead is undoubtedly the center of the world, and all the best things are embodied in her. Even if you don't like her, you won't hate her, which is quite friendly to those who like female leads. Then, if you like reading stories about loving daughters, be careful when clicking on this one. The free chapters already show how bad it is. If you like crossover anime but can't accept this kind of story, please leave as soon as possible. As someone who enjoys stories about raising children, I'll share the current progression of the characters' growth. The first forty chapters are in the juvenile stage, and the current one hundred chapters are in the teenage stage. I haven't seen the later chapters yet. This is a relatively gentle crossover anime where no one dies, and it's a rather happy world. However, I checked the table of contents and there might be a twist at the end involving a parallel world (original timeline). I will revise this section if I see this content later. Regarding the controversy surrounding the completed series and the comments section, please be aware of the following: The wording uses the universally accepted order of "male and female," and the children are mostly referred to as "boys and girls" (in the order of the story). The pairings don't seem to be to everyone's liking, but I'm not entirely sure; please research and verify for yourselves. The author's habit of abandoning chapters is questionable. Since readers who didn't follow the series during its initial publication cannot confirm the veracity of the "making excuses" mentioned in the comments, it's possible that the author mentioned being ill, possibly with diabetes. I know a little about this, and if that's the case, I can personally understand the delays and VIP chapters from a humanitarian perspective (I'm not expecting others to share my opinion, just stating my own). Another point is that this is a novel with a strong plot and a high quality. With nearly a million words, it can be quite tiring to read. I started to feel tired around chapter 60, and I even fell back into the pit after chapter 80. By chapter 100, I started to lose interest. Readers who are more fickle may lose interest even faster.

I subscribed to all the books when I switched accounts and saw the author releasing a new genre that interested me. I was on my way to around chapters 80 or 90. A lot happened during the reading process; the waves of the internet carried my thoughts far away. This was the last BL novel I read. Afterwards, for various reasons, I unbooked all unread BL novels on my current account, except for this one. I thought maybe one day I would be able to finish it calmly, but now it's time to say goodbye. Based on the initial reading experience, I felt it was still enjoyable, but I just couldn't continue.

    The premise was good, and the writing and plot seemed acceptable until I entered the paid section. However, some parts of the logic were hard to believe. For example, I could accept the female lead's inability to become an immortal after living for 30,000 years as a plot device, but her magical power, perspective, and abilities over 30,000 years didn't seem significantly different from those of a Western "little kid." The bullied female supporting character had also lived for thousands of years, and the history of the people who humiliated her was less than a fraction of hers. To put it bluntly, I felt she had wasted those thousands of years. Her brain... From the character design of the female lead and supporting character, there was no sense of female hostility; on the contrary, it was quite good. But then the zombie bride plot, I don't know if it was foreshadowing or related to later events or if it was genuine female rivalry, felt too familiar. So, regardless of the ending, I'll give up. But the main reason for giving up wasn't that; it was the logic. Whenever I saw magic, communication, or many other things, I would immediately make connections, and once I started thinking about them, I couldn't continue reading.

    I checked the updates, and the author seems to be a reliable one who keeps releasing content consistently. Those who like this kind of work can check it out. It's a lighthearted, farming-themed, infrastructure-building, and upgrade-focused novel, but it's rambling and disjointed. I bought it for 84 yuan, but starting from the 50s, I only read one or two pages of each chapter before completely losing interest. If the female lead is a believable character, and you can accept her from the synopsis, you can accept her from the main text. If there are slight discrepancies, or if you don't like the synopsis or specifically look for this type of story, then your opinion of the female lead will likely be biased, and you may not be very satisfied. The wording is realistic and mainstream, with "teenager" and "young adult" generally referring to males, although the term "girl" does not appear in the first thirty chapters; similar terms such as "freebie" are not avoided or modified in any way. The current female-to-male ratio, in terms of perception, is 50/50, a very balanced and stable ratio. For ordinary people and high-level executives, the female-to-male ratio is also basically 50/50. However, for those who are used to seeing an all-female or predominantly female ratio, it seems to be around 60/40. Note: This is for fans of the following genres: infrastructure building, farming, and a slightly mischievous (cunning) female lead; fans of female leads who aren't stupid; fans of female leads with special abilities; fans who prefer "freeloaders" and dislike the term "freeloader"; fans who prefer non-male/male/male relationships. Fans of truly evil female leads, fans of stories where everyone is intelligent, fans who dislike terms like "god of wealth," "players and female players," and "freeloaders"; fans who prefer female/female/male relationships. Subscriptions are open to careful consideration. Subscriptions should be carefully considered if you don't enjoy infrastructure building/farming stories, have high expectations for writing style and plot, or dislike excessive descriptions of the female lead's background (such as live stream comments, forum posts, or player comments).

    I followed the series on my previous account, but based on my fragmented memory, I'm not sure how far I read—probably around chapter 50 before dropping it. It wasn't due to writing style, plot holes, poor reviews, or the author's thoughts that I dropped it; it was for personal reasons. As you can see from the serialization schedule, it coincided with the initial emergence of internet feminism. I started reading because I liked the author's writing style and the novelty of the plot, but the constant inexplicable and psychological struggles I experienced while reading made me realize that while the book is actually good, it wasn't for me anymore. So, even though I still have some interest and am still curious about the ending, for the sake of the author and readers who read the reviews, and for my own psychological and emotional well-being, I decided to stop. Those who don't mind can read on without worry.

    When a person's tastes change, they really shouldn't eat the same food as before. I hope I've learned my lesson this time. I bought one chapter and couldn't stand it anymore, I didn't even finish reading it. I can't accept that just because you think your partner is too outstanding, you force them down a path that seems to ruin their future. I can't accept that just because your crush isn't reciprocating, you constantly insult, ridicule, belittle, and manipulate them. I can't accept that someone who receives favors and funding while silently observing, exaggerating, and publicly criticizing others is an ingrate. Just thinking that the male characters later on will all be similarly like this makes me laugh. Reading isn't about torturing yourself. What made me abandon the story was the male protagonist's long monologues and flashbacks in the VIP chapters. I couldn't bear to read them, I really couldn't! It's his business if he ruins himself, but why should someone who was loved and gave passionate love be treated like this? Especially the flashbacks—this wasn't just once; eight years! Not eight days, eight weeks, or eight months! Anyone else would have gone insane, become a psychopath, or died long ago! This scumbag! This bastard! Okay, okay, haha, I'll try to be fair. The female lead's personality has its reasons, but if none of the men she's met were normal—from family to society, from love to career, from elders to juniors—if none of them were normal, she wouldn't be in this situation. She can't simply be called honest; she should be called weak and spineless. But her suffering makes me feel helpless and frustrated. And this male lead, the male supporting characters who have appeared so far, and even the male students in the background scenes—they're all scoundrels! Scoundrels! Scoundrels! I'm really furious! Why is it that she's the one who gave everything, the one whose career and life were ruined, and the one who still has to clean up the mess and bear all the burdens? Why?! Hopefully, I'll learn from this experience.

    I followed this serialized novel a few years ago (but didn't finish it). Because it was written with a fairly logical plot, I found it tiring to read as a reader, given the character settings (in my opinion), even though it was indeed well-written. This was one of the last few BL novels I read; afterwards, for various reasons, I unfollowed all the unread BL novels on this account.

25. 25 不 Don’t Discriminate Against Species 不要物种歧视 Butterfly Shadow Beneath the Moon月下蝶影Danmei (BL)581k WordsCompleted Fu Li is a small-town monster who's never seen the world. After moving to the city, his greatest dream is to pass the civil service exam and make a name for himself in history. But... he doesn't have a college degree, or even a high school diploma. So if you don't study hard, even a monster can't find a good job. A lighthearted supernatural story, just for fun. Hope you enjoy reading!

Those who are open to BL can still read it; based on my remnants from reading it 24 years ago, it was good.

    I bought this on a previous account. I added the book to my favorites after reading it, and now I'm doing a giveaway. It's a novel I used to love and reread repeatedly, but I can't stand male protagonist novels anymore, so I'm putting it here as a memento. Those who are open to BL can still read it; based on my previous impression, it was good. However, I vaguely remember some personal sensitivities that I find objectionable, very personal, like putting scallions and garlic in dishes? It's not even at the level of a cilantro debate.

    The female lead's character is well-developed, and the plot is engaging enough, but I can't get into it. Up to chapter nine, in nearly 40,000 words, only the female lead and her mother (who appears three times) are women; everyone else, from the cultivation world to the original world, is male. And they constantly refer to him as "Grandpa Kitchen God" or "God of Heaven," and when working for others, they automatically assume their role as "little brother." I find this hard to accept. Combined with the previous factors, this severe gender imbalance is just too... The frequency is just too high.

    The plot feels somewhat formulaic, with a dated feel, and there are many parts that feel like they're read in a dull, unengaging way. I actually really like the character development and overall storyline, and the writing isn't bad either, but I just don't have the desire to keep reading. While reading this, my attention was extremely... Unfocused. I subscribed chapter by chapter; last year I followed the serialization up to chapter 60, but this year I started skipping around from chapters 10-15. For the past two weeks, I haven't even checked Jinjiang much. I managed to get to chapter 57, but I just couldn't continue.

    I've lost interest in reading the first chapter, only one chapter left. Overall, there were some points that attracted me, but not enough to overcome the vague discomfort I felt. I can't quite put my finger on why; I guess it's just a clash of personalities. The writing is fine, the pacing of the plot is acceptable, but I don't remember the characters. They seemed quite strong, and the story had a bit of a Dihua (or something similar) feel to it.

    Strange, am I losing interest in horror and suspense? A story that starts strong, with protagonists seemingly at their peak, is actually quite to my taste – pure enjoyment. But something just feels off. Maybe the story arcs aren't engaging enough? But I've only read one and a half arcs. In short, the horror is so-so; as for the characters, after a dozen chapters, the protagonist's character and the overall theme make the ending predictable. The characters, whether supporting or cannon fodder, all feel repetitive. Perhaps it would be better to wait a while before rereading, but right now I just can't get through it.

    It's a light-hearted story with decent writing and plot. The scumbag father character might cause some breast hyperplasia (a common complaint), but I dropped it because I was drawn in by the cover and title (I'm a fan of horror and suspense). After reading the synopsis and the author's warnings, I wavered – it was a psychological letdown. Even skipping chapters from chapter nine onwards couldn't salvage my waning patience. So I added it to my reading list. Perhaps when I wasn't so impatient, I came back to read it again.

    The writing style isn't particularly appealing to me, but the plot is consistently well-developed, which is rare for a new author.
