   It's really good! A Western fantasy story with infrastructure building elements, from the Dihua style, it's so good I love it. I've fallen in love with the Dihua style now. The only downside is the romance. I've noticed that when the plot is engaging, the romance is often lacking (scratching head). Maybe it's just a matter of not being able to have your cake and eat it too.

   I really enjoy reading it! The gacha and base-building elements, with no romantic pairing, are great. I'm eagerly awaiting when they'll write a new chapter.

   I've finished watching it. The infrastructure in the first half was good, but the romance in the second half was handled a bit weakly; it would have been better without the romance. But it doesn't matter, the crow and the chubby little bird are quite lovely.

5. 5 黑 The Dark Mage Builds a City Online [Worldbuilding] 黑魔法师在线建城[基建] Winter Twilight冬暝Romance660k WordsCompleted Annis transmigrates from a federal mecha engineer into a rebellious princess of a magic empire, obsessed with black magic. The princess is exiled to a remote fiefdom. It is sparsely populated and its soil is barren, surrounded by vicious foreign races and constantly threatened by the Abyssal Curse.

They were different species, all equally baffled... until Xu Yue accidentally opened his status screen. Game developer Xu Yue: Uh, I think this is my game.

   I've finished reading it all, and I'm waiting for the bonus chapters to be updated. The viewing experience was excellent! I thought it was an online game, but it turned out to be a very immersive Western fantasy experience. I almost missed it! A delicious treat! What I loved most was that the indigenous characters (?) Weren't stupid, and there weren't any plots where they claimed to be from another time and were then endlessly tolerated. The characters were fleshed out and very well-developed; it was a truly enjoyable experience.

The complete story costs less than 8.5 RMB. Cyril is a Harry Potter fan who unexpectedly gets a chatty System. It says it'll take him to experience the wizarding world he's always dreamed of.

   Curator note

   There are quite a few scenes of condensation, so the hungry Western fantasy girl can selectively ignore them. Basically, the fight scenes are all about the dominant character (gong) being very strong, giving the submissive character (shou) a power boost, and the story ends with the dominant character being so strong. It's a fairly typical story of a strong dominant character redeeming a mentally ill dominant character. The submissive character also becomes powerful later on, and by the time he becomes powerful, the story is basically over. It's somewhat enjoyable, but not worth savoring. The combat power system completely falls apart later on; it feels like the author simply ran out of ideas due to a lack of skill. Romance is more important than plot; it's a sweet bedtime treat with no angst.

    Bking is here! The story revolves around college competitions, which excites fans. The action is thrilling, but the romance is just so-so. The author gave the protagonist a very strong "halo" (a powerful, overpowered character effect), making it essentially a "feel-good" novel. Why is it basically: the split-line knife person, a faint sadness, even those who don't like knives shed tears, while those who like making dumplings for a happy reunion...

    The romance is mostly revealed in the side stories. It follows a redemption theme (?), Interspersed with academy exams, etc., Which satisfies the students of the iAcademy. It lacked a little bit of the satisfying feeling, but it flowed very smoothly. It felt like it didn't develop much and ended too quickly, which was a bit sad. The girls are all so cute! Let's ban the labeling of witches.

    A sweet bedtime treat! As you can tell from the title, this is my absolute favorite magic academy competition story. There are continuously updated free bonus chapters in my author's column, and updates on holidays. After watching it, all I can think about is Hilno, Hilno (you). The protagonist is a genius who can make up for his lack of talent by staying up late and working hard. He sleeps only three or four in the morning and spends the rest of his time working hard. Being able to persist like this is quite a talent. The protagonist's backstory is a bit tragic, but the whole story isn't depressing; it's full of sweet moments and there aren't any truly angsty scenes. Highly recommended for bedtime reading. Love you both forever! The downside is that the plot is a bit thin; it feels like it could have been expanded upon. It's a rare treat in Western fantasy where I enjoy romantic subplots, but that's okay, I can find other plots with more depth.

    Those who love both StarCraft League and Magic Academy are in luck! I feel this is a ensemble piece, with everyone getting a piece of the action. Although they didn't participate in any formal academy matches, they were constantly fighting, and the battle descriptions were... It's an absolute sweet treat; the romance is so-so, but the enjoyment is absolutely amazing. The protagonist accepted it with a smile, the mothers accepted it with a smile, and the handsome father accepted it with a smile too. I feel like I really want to be a berserker (?), The battle cry feels so good!

    A great article I almost missed; it wasn't listed as a Western fantasy novel and couldn't be found on the rankings. It's an amazing magic academy, I love it! It's incredibly satisfying, I've watched it countless times. There was a part about returning to the human world, but I skipped it because I didn't like it. The romance is so-so, but the overall enjoyment is off the charts and you can finish it in one go. I also want to make evil potions. Please help me gather the raw materials.
