   November 5, 2026. A light and sweet story. The author's skill is there, and it's enjoyable. However, I thought there would be a lot more to come, but it ended very quickly, leaving me feeling like some parts were left unfinished. I'm deducting one star for completeness.

   July 14, 2026: It was alright. A light and simple treat. Nothing awkward, but nothing particularly memorable either. A bit bland. Four stars.

   On March 7, 2026, I felt the male lead's character was better written, portraying a spirited young crown prince. The female lead's character was inconsistently written. There were a few good descriptions, such as pushing the Prince of Jin into the water, framing Uzi, and exchanging herself for a hostage, where the female lead was portrayed as calm and compelling, which I really liked. However, at other times, the female lead was portrayed as fragile and delicate, which made me uncomfortable. I often felt like I was watching a heterosexual romance novel. Also, the plot is well-written, but the romance is quite simple with few twists and turns. There are no mistakes, but nothing particularly poignant either. It would be better if there were more touching interactions. Right now, it feels rather bland.

   February 21, 2026. Yu Sui's character design is so well done, incredibly charming. He's older than the main character, but actually quite young, possessing a mature charm without feeling greasy at all. The atmosphere during the World Championship was also great—the local region, the shared spirit, all the domestic teams united against the common enemy—it was so youthful and exciting. The only downside was the easier victory than I expected. I thought Holy Sword would be stronger and harder to beat, but I didn't expect them to be swept 0-0 by the protagonist. But thankfully, it's a complete ending I can accept.

7. 7 悬 Hanging Sun 悬日 Zhi Chu稚楚Danmei (BL)589k WordsCompleted Ning Yixiao thought he'd never see Su Hui again. Until the hotel gave him the wrong key card. He opened the door and found Su Hui lying alone on the bed, wearing a sleep mask and calling someone else's name. “You're back so soon...” Impulsively, he pulled off Su Hui's sleep mask, but regretted it the moment their eyes met. After six years apart, their reunion should have been a little more dignified. · -“At least on the pedestrian bridge on 42nd Street, when we had nothing, we once had a setting 842.2kFavorites669.1kClicks/ch1.4MGifts

   February 3, 2026 - It was breathtaking, incredibly beautiful, and a very romantic book. Reading it made me want to go to snowy Scandinavia, see the sunset over Manhattan, see the Northern Lights in Iceland, and explore the world beyond. The male lead's character really resonated with me. Nyx, I admire your perseverance in climbing higher and higher. I hope my future can be like yours, escaping the small town, gaining my own freedom, and seeing a wider world.

8. 8 你 How Long Can Your Snowman Live? 你的雪人能活多久 Zhi Chu稚楚Danmei (BL)546k WordsCompleted Zhu Zhixi had lived a dazzling life for 26 years, from Africa to Antarctica, from backpacker to volunteer. He was always looking for his next adventure. Then one day, he woke up to find a countdown to his death on his palm: [60 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds] I only have sixty days to live? A few days later, he was forced to attend a matchmaking date. His match was a dull archaeology professor, a handsome but expressionless Alpha, colder than a snowman. Zhu Zhixi: “I’m a beta.

   January 21, 2026 (5 stars) Overall, it's great. I love the character design of the protagonist; he's such a vibrant Cupid! He's optimistic, confident, and brave in pursuing love. Although he's a Beta, he feels so sweet, like a delicious apple pie from a street corner, like the aroma of rice porridge that's been cooking for a long time, like a soft, fluffy sponge ball—warm and comforting. There are a few parts I liked: ① The puppy saves humanity; I cried throughout the puppy storyline. ② The protagonist was abandoned as a child and never had a real home, so he felt rootless. He chose archaeology to trace history and civilization from the perspective of a rootless person—a kind of search for roots, a search for a grander, broader source of civilization. (Elevation)

   Finished reading on January 9, 2016 (5 stars). A slightly gloomy bottom x a perverted and obsessive top. There was a part where the male lead was so obsessive that it almost made me give up; it felt a bit like he was licking my boots. But if you get past that part and keep reading, it's still really good. Overall, the flaws don't detract from the overall quality. The author writes the romance very well, and the characters of the male and female leads are very distinct. There were two parts that made me cry.

10. 10 穿 Transmigrated as the Campus Heartthrob’s Cannon Fodder Ex-Boyfriend 穿成校草的炮灰前男友 Reaching for the Stars揽天星Danmei (BL)349k WordsCompleted Le Cheng transmigrates into a book and becomes the disposable ex-boyfriend of a campus novel's male lead. He's not only arrogant and domineering, but also ridiculously high-maintenance. In the original story, the male lead is a straight-laced computer genius. The disposable ex falls for his looks and forces him into a relationship. They break up acrimoniously a few months later, and the original Le Cheng holds a grudge, stealing and selling the male lead's team's idea. In the end, the male lead 165.5kFavorites205.5kClicks/ch45.7kGifts

    Finished reading it on January 1, 2026, and regretted recommending it to my friend. The beginning was very well written, with well-developed characters for both the seme and uke. However, from the point of their breakup, both characters fell apart. I initially liked both of them, and I care a lot about character development, but these two suddenly seemed possessed and their personalities drastically changed, hitting all my sore spots. The uke went from a warm and bright little sun to a piece of paper who abused the seme. He was never like this before. Knowing that the seme's biggest fear was abandonment, he deliberately dumped him on an important day—choosing an anniversary to dump him was truly wicked. After dumping the seme, the uke even demanded that the seme be friends with him. Ugh, I hate it when people want to be friends after a breakup. It was so cheesy. In the end, the uke abused the seme terribly without apologizing. Instead, the seme went from having a healthy personality to being abused by the uke and then acting as his lapdog, saying, "Please have pity on me." It made me feel like I was going to faint. Thankfully, the ending was sweet, but the breakup chapters really disgusted me.
