1. 51 宫 A Beauty Hidden in the Palace 宫阙藏姝 Qiao Yan乔燕Romance441k WordsCompleted Blurb: [The full novel is complete. Let it build up before reading. Please add my upcoming novel, Jiaohua (Double Rebirth), to your collection.] In the third year of Changping, the Empress Dowager brought a young woman back from outside the palace. She was said to be the emperor's cousin. The cousin was as beautiful as a jade-born goddess, her beauty enough to captivate a kingdom. All the young gentlemen of the capital were eager to marry her, each hoping to win her hand. Gifts of every kind we 42.8kFavorites65.8kClicks/ch7.2kGifts

   Is the princess a woman? The descriptions of him holding the heroine's small hand and pinching her fair, smooth face really evoke images of yuri (lesbian romance). Furthermore, the heroine is described as slender and skilled in martial arts, yet she has small hands even though she's younger than the princess. A tall woman with small hands, small feet, and a small face—that's like a cone! There are numerous typos; he calls Princess Changping "Princess Weiyang" and the Imperial Concubine "Mother."

The immersive game simulates crimes, and everything is fictional. Please do not draw parallels with real life.] As a high-risk human, Ye Sangsan receives an invitation to beta-test the immersive game "Crime Files". With its high degree of freedom, broad compatibility, and remarkably realistic simulations based on real criminal cases, the game draws enormous attention as soon as its beta test is announced. As a condition of par 127.7kFavorites179.7kClicks/ch138.6kGifts

   Curator note

   The story's concept is good. The female lead seems strong and doesn't hold grudges, but someone always seems to be undermining her, making her appear weak. After each livestream, people related to the case learn about the female lead's real-life information from the platform to visit or send her letters; this plot is weak and only evokes a chilling feeling of personal information leaks. In Case 1, a male streamer with whom she has a rivalry cheats and loses to the female lead, then suddenly repents—it's too unrealistic. He smoothly acknowledges his mistake without even trying to argue or defend himself. One case is even a mystery; the culprit hasn't been found in real life, and the case is still controversial, yet it's turned into a game for entertainment, with the game's ending supposedly influencing whether the investigation is reopened—that's highly improbable.

3. 53 与 The Art of Romance with the Gods [Book Transmigration] 与神明的恋爱法[穿书] Fei翡Romance511k WordsCompleted After transmigrating to another world, Lucia has to go to church with her mother every week and sit through two hours of prayer. She is restless and fidgety. Unable to stand it any longer, Lucia slips outside the confession booth and playfully says, “Listen, you’re better off believing in yourself than in God.” “My mom prays every day, and she hasn’t gotten rich yet.” The God who happens to descend just then: ???

   I dropped this after watching it. The breakup between the second male lead and the female lead was rushed, and their marriage registration was even more rushed, like they were rushing through everything. The female lead's name is Ruan Li, and I seriously suspect her parents are desperately illiterate. Who would name their child Li (pear)? They wouldn't even give her a pear as a gift because it sounds bad; they'd even call her Apple!

Just as she had no roles to play and her boyfriend, who had become famous, was falling for someone else, a man appeared whose money, power, and status easily eclipsed that big shot's.

   What does "not touching other men's women" even mean? You could even say "not interfering in other people's relationships"? Is the female lead some kind of toilet paper or eyeglass cloth, distinguishing between "yours" and "mine"? It's just a formulaic contemporary romance novel.

6. 56 她 She’s the Villainess at the Elite Academy 她是贵族学院的女配 Jiang Shuishuo江水朔Romance686k WordsCompleted She is the daughter of a nouveau riche family, an unnoticed nobody at an elite academy. She was supposed to be nothing more than an insignificant cannon-fodder character, but after she accidentally saves the heroine from bullying, she gets caught up in trouble she can't escape.

She picked up an unconscious man by the road, and ended up in the hospital for three days and three nights.

    The romance and suspense in this pseudo-adult story set in an American school is incredibly well-written! It had my heart pounding! The "what if" plot is also great, even more suspenseful than the main story! However, the descriptions of the male lead are limited; his abilities aren't explicitly stated, just indirectly praised by passersby; and the female lead secretly cursing him as a villain after failing to kiss him made me...

    I dropped the show after two chapters (the first two chapters were VIP). The female lead's career development is practically nonexistent. One chapter she's doing research, the next she's building an amusement park, the following chapter she gets approval to start construction and plans to enter the game industry, and the next chapter she has a half-finished game and her own studio? Two years later? The jumps are too fast. The male lead, a Buddhist-like CEO, also wears a down jacket. Wouldn't it be okay for him to wear a coat for normal outings? He's wearing suit pants and you can see the deep indentation above his heels. Isn't he wearing thermal underwear or thermal leggings? He's probably getting rheumatism! If you can see the indentation above his heels while walking normally, those are probably cropped pants, right? Even if you said he was wearing a down jacket after a field research trip and you could see his heels while he was sitting on the sofa, that would be acceptable.

    I didn't buy the extra chapter about childbirth. It's a fairly typical arranged marriage-to-love romance novel. The only villains with significant screen time are almost all women (the female lead's mother, the male lead's mother, the male lead's admirer?, The female lead's female boss, the male lead's father, and a nameless, gossipy male extra). The romantic development is a bit too fast; how did the male lead suddenly fall in love? I can understand the male lead's grandparents agreeing to the marriage because of the female lead's grandfather, but it's a bit strange that everyone likes her because she's innocent and kind and forces them to be together.

Seeing him gives me a damp, suffocating feeling, like being entangled in seaweed while swimming (the author's portrayal of Dazai is quite good; he's damp from the moment he appears).

    It's a mindless, feel-good novel, very enjoyable, but a bit too unrealistic. S-rank monsters are incredibly rare at the beginning, but then star-rank, super-star-rank, and special-rank monsters all appear; the female lead can always defeat monsters much stronger than herself, shocking everyone with "This girl is terrifyingly powerful"; almost all the characters create their own potions, making history with tens of thousands of experiments over three days, and the last one always succeeds... Also, the protagonist's progression is too unrealistic; the description of advancing by drinking a potion feels unrealistic. Overall, it's a decent, mindless, fast-paced, enjoyable read. The premise is good, and the characters, such as Fang Yanli, are well-developed. The writing style is similar to a condensed version of mindless, enjoyable reads like "Battle Through the Heavens."

    41. Abandoned. The article is good, but it attributes all the family's favoritism towards the younger sister to the mother, while the father and younger brother act as righteous crusaders, accusing the mother of abandoning the younger sister. Where were you all this time? You're always acting like outsiders, but when trouble comes, you suddenly appear and blame others. Are you two the ones who disappeared? Does the story only allow a villainous female supporting character in one family, but not a villainous male supporting character? Stop babbling, you three are all equally rotten!!

    16 chapters abandoned. By chapter 20, there was still no synopsis, and it was incredibly frustrating, with the male lead still feigning friendship with the original protagonist. It's a new kind of cold-faced, underwear-washing story. After twenty-odd chapters of building up to a satisfying plot, and with no end in sight, I'd call this a synopsis scam.
