Before his mother died, she told him that the handsome Lord Lian in the capital was his father. But times had changed. The once-famous young scholar who had tossed fruit from his carriage and filled it with admirers was now a balding, worried-looking fat uncle. Xu Guo mistook the stunningly handsome, wickedly charming Lian, the powerful East Depot chief, for his father and went up to him in the street to claim kinship. Lord Lian held great power and w 224.6kFavorites466.8kClicks/ch308.1kGifts

   A 3.5-4 Star casual novel about raising a child. It doesn't feel like raising a child; it's more like Xuguo's growth diary. The main plot is weak, and the writing style feels too disjointed compared to the background, creating a sense of incongruity. Everything else is alright.

2. 2 我 I’m Not Human 我不做人了 Jiu Yi酒矣Danmei (BL)361k WordsCompleted *New story, "Taming the Monster", is now up~ *Print publication contract signed.

This species was brutal and cold-blooded, feared and shunned by everyone across the stars. As the newly born king of this species, Gu Huai found it a little overwhelming to face a group of parents who treated him like a baby and protected him. 274.6kFavorites873.2kClicks/ch403.2kGifts

   This is a very smooth and adorable story about a character who is doted on by others. The pacing is tight and reasonable, and the protagonist's highlights are very prominent. Although it contains Zerg elements, it didn't make me, someone who has never read Zerg stories before, feel any aversion. In fact, it changed my opinion about Zerg stories.

When he opened his eyes, he was in the modern world, reborn as an ordinary baby. His dad was an 'ordinary' schoolteacher, and his mom was once a hugely popular, nationally beloved movie star. He had an older brother, a poor student who scribbled away at his homework, and younger twin brothers who cried all day long. Su Li thought he had si 205.7kFavorites430.6kClicks/ch139.2kGifts

   The early stages of raising the child are excellent (five stars). The flashbacks feel rushed, like scheduled retellings of the past, and the transitions are odd. The characters are well-developed. Based on the style of the earlier parts, the plot should have progressed gradually, but the latter half, which seems to employ a time-manipulation technique, suddenly rushes through the story (without a clear reason for the rush). There's an increased amount of forum-style content, and while the character development, emotional arcs, and plot are tried to be integrated, they don't feel cohesive and feel awkward. The main plot is heavily developed in the beginning, but the later development is weak and lacks highlights, making it unwatchable.

4. 4 穿 I Became the Only Hatchling in the Dragon Clan 穿成龙族唯一的幼崽 Nan Shu婻书Danmei (BL)986k WordsCompleted The Divine Dragon Clan is born powerful, the foremost of the demon gods. Even the Heavenly Emperor holds them in awe. In the Three Realms, they can practically swish their tails and strut wherever they please. Of the fifty paths of the Great Dao, the heavenly way derives forty-nine, leaving one opening for all things. The powerful Dragon Clan has one fatal weakness: producing offspring is difficult. It’s so difficult that no new dragon hatchling has been born in nearly ten thousand years. Whenev 174kFavorites420.5kClicks/ch337.3kGifts

   This is a very enjoyable story about raising a child; the little ones are so cute! Even after reading 400,000 to 500,000 words, I still haven't had enough. It feels like they've grown up in the blink of an eye XX

   The style is rather bland, and the main plot is fairly well-rounded, but I always feel that because it's too bland, many plot points that could have been written with more dramatic twists and turns are glossed over, which I find very regrettable. I always have to check if it has the "slice-of-life" tag. The writing style is very skillful in describing the beloved pet and the raising of a child, but I always felt that the protagonist's romantic feelings were very faint and quite abrupt. Even when he finally came to his senses later on, there were still many descriptions about family feelings, and I didn't feel how he transitioned from family affection to romantic love. Also, the author seems to really like to prioritize describing the "fair-skinned hands" in the side descriptions of the protagonist's dazzling entrances. Every time I see this sudden highlight of the hands, I feel pulled out of the story [laughing and crying emoji].
