   Curator note

   I personally really like this author's football romance novels, but this one is 1v1. Although I subscribed to most of them, I didn't really enjoy this one. The author seems better suited to writing otome games with multiple male leads and a popular female protagonist. The romance in this single-male-lead novel became rather bland and boring in the later stages. The author's usual strengths in creating dramatic love triangles and tension between the leads weren't present in this novel. The author is also very good at writing stream-of-consciousness sex scenes, which were absent in this one. Overall, it's a rather uninteresting novel in many ways. I personally do not recommend this article; it completely fails to showcase the author's strengths.

   Although it's a Bungou Stray Dogs fanfiction, it has broken away from the anime and formed a complete and vast worldview. The novel's protagonist is set up to break the fourth wall, allowing him to communicate with readers and the author—a very unique setting. Furthermore, each story is deeply connected to the themes and connotations of the classic works, allowing readers to gain a deeper understanding of those masterpieces. Although the author intended to write in a humorous and satirical style, the overall reading experience is still somewhat obscure and has a relatively high reading threshold.

   I like the premise, but the writing is mediocre, and the football content is too simplistic and unrealistic. The author's basic football knowledge is rather limited, and much of it is based on imagination. The pacing in the later parts of the novel is also rather weak. This author's premise is interesting, but the actual content is average. It's a light read that doesn't require much thought, but it's okay for killing time.

   I couldn't get through any of this author's other football novels; they were all too pretentious and I completely missed the humor. But this one was the only one I really liked.

   In my opinion, this is the best author to write a romance novel about Cristiano Ronaldo. The flaws don't detract from the overall quality of the story. The romance is very intense (although a bit melodramatic), and it's rare to find a story that isn't unrealistic. Ronaldo is portrayed as very realistic.

    The most disgusting female lead is definitely in the top three. This is the first time I've ever felt such disgust for a female lead. She's so repulsive. She's a pure ingrate and a pure evil seed, using love as an excuse. She killed countless people for a man, ruined the female supporting character's face, and killed her entire family. The female lead is truly evil (not only did she kill ordinary people, but she also killed her kind master for a man. Her master had adopted her since she was a child). Why should a woman like this be reborn three times? A woman like this should have died the first time. This is truly disgusting. The senior brothers, sisters, master, and even the female supporting character in the story are incredibly unlucky to have encountered the female lead. And people are even trying to whitewash this kind of female lead? Ha! This woman is nothing but a pure, ungrateful wretch, a truly wicked person who uses love as an excuse. The synopsis says she's morally bankrupt, but who believed that? In modern times, she'd be a death row inmate, and the kind that's utterly repulsive.

    Curator note

    This is a beautified version of the original story. The writing is decent, and the plot is rather melodramatic, but the author's writing style made it bearable for me. Personally, I really dislike the female lead in this story. In the very first chapter, she had an unprotected sex and got pregnant, then went to have an abortion (I can't stand women who don't respect themselves; aren't they afraid of getting diseases?). The female lead is supposed to be a mature woman, but she's actually immature and conflicted. She claims to be pursuing her dreams and giving up on the male lead, but after the abortion, she's still entangled with him. Even after getting together with the second male lead, she keeps stalking the male lead. She's not as good as the traditional female lead in a romance novel. She's hypocritical and doesn't have the charm of the dramatic or mature female leads in other novels.

    This is a free Western romance novel, mainly depicting the heroine's growth. I personally enjoy novels set in a Western landscape, but unfortunately, the writing style is a bit flat.

    A story about a cross-cultural romance, a scheming female lead, and a powerful male lead—it started strong but ended weakly. I liked the premise, and I particularly enjoyed the first half, set during their school years; the tug-of-war between the male and female leads during this period was very engaging. Unfortunately, the later parts were mediocre, especially the part where the male lead abandons political power and ambition for love, which felt ridiculous and purely fantastical, detached from reality. I dislike this kind of "falling from grace" narrative; this story is just a superficial, Mary Sue fantasy. The female lead's character also fell apart in the latter half, becoming a hypocritical figure who wants everything but is afraid to admit it, transforming from an ambitious woman into a hypocritical woman who tries to have it all.

    Curator note

    There are relatively few novels about the Han Dynasty period, and I am personally very interested in this one. The writing style is also classical and elegant, and the male and female protagonists are complex and deep, not flat characters. The novel gets better and better in the middle and later stages, and the romance is very deep. There's a potential pitfall early on: the female lead's sister's character is mediocre, which causes a plot hole in the female lead's character as she repeatedly pleads for her cousin who cheated on Emperor Wen of Han.

    This is a football-themed novel (essay format). I personally prefer novels without a romantic pairing, but unfortunately, it weakens in the later stages. You can choose to read only the chapters you like. The daily life scenes are also written at a relatively slow pace; it's not the kind of fast-paced, exciting story. The author also occasionally makes some factual errors about football. However, this author's writing has a very rare sense of realism and groundedness, unlike many other football novels that feel unrealistic. There were a few rounds in the simulator that felt a bit detached from real football life.

    I really like the time-travel theme and am very interested in Consort Wan, but this story is too fictional, and the female protagonist's character is very unlikable, completely unlike the historical Consort Wan. It's an overly melodramatic story, essentially an old-fashioned melodramatic novel using a historical figure as a shell. Even fictional settings shouldn't be fabricated; this story completely disregards history.

    This is a story that wasn't renewed. It's a Godfather fanfiction, a genre I personally enjoy, but unfortunately, I felt the romance in this one was rather weak, and the interactions between the male and female leads lacked tension towards the end. It started strong but declined in quality; the novel initially explored female empowerment, but the writing was mediocre and felt very unrealistic.

    The premise was interesting, but it became less engaging as it progressed. Many anticipated scenes were glossed over in the outline. I was particularly looking forward to the part where the characters were nine out of ten attractive, but it was only covered in a few chapters of the outline. The author clearly can't write a world with high- (good-looking) characters; in the end, they completely avoided them. The author is only suited to writing about worlds with average-looking characters. Furthermore, the writing style is incredibly bland, and the plot is somewhat weak.

    This novel was not renewed. The author's many worlds were poorly written, with abrupt endings. It's a quick transmigration novel featuring a popular female protagonist; the author is skilled at this genre, but the worlds of Mandala and Zhu Jin are quite mediocre. The author isn't suited to writing novels with large world-building and numerous foreshadowing elements. It's completely inferior to the author's other previous quick transmigration novel featuring a popular female protagonist.

    I'm not renewing it. It's just okay; I don't really like the male lead's character, and I don't like the supporting characters' development. It's not as good as the author's previous works. Compared to the author's previous works, as a lighthearted and enjoyable read, this one lacks the fun and excitement, and it's not a serious historical drama, so it lacks historical gravitas. Furthermore, the slice-of-life scenes are written very poorly. This novel is completely inferior to the author's previous works.
