1. 1 朕 Am I Supposed to Be Forced Into This Too? 朕也要被强制吗？ Crossing the Bridge to Steal Noodles过桥咪线Danmei (BL)433k WordsCompleted Everyone in the Sheng Dynasty knows the emperor is deeply in love with his consort. Whether attending court or retiring for the night, they come and go together, never apart for even a moment. The harem is little more than a formality. Any concubine foolish enough to sneak into the emperor's bedchamber at night is thrown out of the palace in front of everyone, then vanishes the next day. At court, as the ministers bowed, one of them dared to sneak a glance and glimpsed a flash of silver chains 8.1kFavorites5.7kClicks/ch7.1kGifts

   Sure, sure, but not for those who prefer both virgins (the seme has a male harem). This is very Yami-like! (Supplement) Having read up to chapter 70, I feel the protagonist (gong) is suffering too much. I'm terrified! If you, like me, aren't very accepting of abusing or playing with the protagonist, please proceed with caution. He's been played so cruelly that I no longer feel any pleasure. I'm horrified by this kind of mental distortion that can distort a person's personality. I can't help but doubt if the other protagonist (shou) truly loves the protagonist. At least in my understanding of love, true love wouldn't treat someone like this. I don't think the protagonist has done anything particularly wrong to deserve such cruel treatment. I can't bear to read any more. The sexual abuse is one aspect, but what I fear even more is the cruel grinding and ravaging of a person's personality.

2. 2 毛 Fluffy, but My Plan to Win Over the Big Shot Backfired 毛茸茸，但攻略大佬翻车了 Roast Some Scorched Rice烧个锅巴Danmei (BL)163k WordsOngoing [I'll be back at the end of November to write the final mini-world.] Bai Zhou is, in his true form, a fluffy little white wolf. In every world, he wins over a powerful man, playing the lovesick tool character. In theory, Wen Zhelian is a career-minded man who has renounced love. He should only scoff at Bai Zhou's terrible acting. But the silver-haired heartthrob acts sweet and pitiful, paying no heed to Wen Zhelian's coldness, and gradually warms his icy heart. When the mission ends, Bai Zho 5.4kFavorites2.9kClicks/ch1.9kGifts

Three years later, top-tier star Zhao Siyi was caught up in another scandal. In the video, the entertainment industry's usually arrogant, unruly top alpha seemed to be crying. He was sprawled over Chu Huai's shoulder like a helpless puppy. Chu Huai, by contrast, looked thoroughly impatient. He promptly tied Zhao Siyi to a chair and walk 4.6kFavorites2.7kClicks/ch4.4kGifts

   It's incredibly dramatic and melodramatic; it's torture to watch, but I still want to keep watching... The seme (dominant partner) has a really good personality, I really like him. He has strong values, a good character, and is very good at dealing with people. Meeting the uke (submissive partner) is like having the worst luck imaginable. The seme is the one being tormented by the "chasing the seme" scenario. Chasing the seme is basically forcing the seme. And after reading the last few chapters, I realized the uke wasn't faking it, he was actually pregnant [scared]. It scared me. I didn't dare read anymore (but I couldn't resist and read it again; good news, the uke is indeed pregnant but probably can't give birth). The protagonist (shou) starts out as a spoiled, scumbag, but after the other protagonist (gong) discovers his true colors and breaks up with him, he becomes a crazy, scumbag. I can't even imagine how the protagonist could win them over for a happy ending. I generally dislike spoiled or arrogant protagonists, but this trope is really appealing. Plus, the author uses flashbacks, and the gong's personality is genuinely good, which is why I was able to keep reading until now.

My dignified and solemn male spouse died on the battlefield. My male spouse, Fitales, was perfect in every way, objectively speaking. With an impressive family background, formidable strength, and flawless looks, he had been outstanding since childhood and was always held up by the media as an exemplary model and a shining symbol of the insect race.

Liang Cong, a 27-year-old professor of archaeology, is juggling an exhausting junior faculty position while trying to maintain his secret relationship with He Siyu, a popular entertainer.

   Curator note

   Abandoned As a familiar author, I feel the author's tendency to favor the dominant partner is generally reliable. However, the author suffers from their old writing habit: to advance the romance, they portray supporting characters with very little regard for boundaries, which is quite inappropriate given their relationship. This is evident in the previous story's uke's yaoi-loving younger sister and the seme's student in this one. It's frustrating to read. The main problem is that these characters are often portrayed as positive figures, making it difficult to criticize them. Addendum 2: I inexplicably want to elaborate on the character development of the average uke (bottom/uke). Honestly, what's the point of elaborating on the uke's character development when both main characters are already quite weak? The seme (top/uke) is underdeveloped, and the uke is overly masculine. Even with more development, the average uke lacks charm. I thought the author's writing had improved in the earlier chapters, but now I realize that while the writing has improved and is smoother, the supporting characters are still poorly developed. They're still weak, and the uke is even less charming and lower-class than in previous works. Some of the supporting characters are even less likable than some of the previous characters I've encountered. And the main and supporting characters are somewhat indistinguishable. If you want to advance the romantic storyline with NPCs, instead of having unfamiliar NPCs gossip excessively and pry into their privacy, it would be better to create a doctor friend character, similar to a domineering CEO, to drive the romance forward. Addendum 1: The seme seems to have some saintly qualities; he's especially gentle towards his ex, almost like repaying evil with good. Hmm, whatever, saintly it is then. But the uke is a bit low-class; his statements are... Well, his behavior is... Overly masculine.

6. 6 原 Turns Out I'm Destined to Live Off Others [Reborn] 原来我是吃软饭的命［重生］ Every Day Like the Moon日日似月Danmei (BL)341k WordsOngoing A falling ashtray sends Liu Yang back ten years. He spent those years hanging around with rich heirs, and now he’s back at the starting line. He thought everything would be turned upside down if he got another chance. With the protagonist’s script in hand, he’d give up living off others, work hard, get rich, and reach the pinnacle of life. What he never expected was that returning to the starting line also left him destitute, with nothing to his name and barely enough to eat from one day to th 3.1kFavorites2.8kClicks/ch2.5kGifts

   It's pretty good. The only potential trigger is that the seme (top) doesn't seek revenge on his ex-boyfriend, but I think it's okay. Addendum: Why does it get so dry towards the end? I can't keep watching. It feels like the uke (bottom) and seme (top) don't have much chemistry so far. I'm finding it hard to watch.

7. 7 身 As the White Moonlight, I'm Forced to Be a Scum Man (Quick Transmigration) 身为白月光的我被迫做渣男（快穿） Every Day Like the Moon日日似月Danmei (BL)188k WordsCompleted After clearing a romance game, Jiao Wen thought she was about to collect a huge prize and live a life of luxury and debauchery. But the System announced, "Dear player, you've only made it halfway through the game. Keep up the good work!" "?" Jiao Wen pointed at the romance guide and asked, "The White Rose and the Red Rose?

   This book is so good! There are no random, inexplicable romantic subplots, and each story ends cleanly and decisively. The scumbag seme (top male lead) is incredibly charming! It's so good! It's just too short; I hope there's a second part.

    It's a good read, featuring a charming and assertive seme (dominant partner), but not a stoic uke (submissive partner). The relationship between the seme and his best friend, the young master, is particularly appealing. However, some minor scenes are a little awkward, like the conversations with his first love. Overall, though the flaws don't detract from its overall quality; it's a very enjoyable read. The satire is also quite satisfying. And it's a charming and assertive seme, but not a stoic uke.

    This little tree is a succubus. The first world was incredibly cute, the second incredibly spicy. I didn't like the third world, so I didn't read it. I don't know why I only read the first chapter before; maybe I was disgusted by the original book. Then, this time I really couldn't find anything readable, so I dug this out. I couldn't get through the first chapter, so I started reading from the second chapter directly, and sure enough, I kept reading—it's so good!
