As an adult, he inherited his father's financial empire. Blond, blue-eyed, handsome, and wealthy, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and sharply defined abs, he was the golden boy everyone adored wherever he went.

   It's really well-written, and the beginning was great, but for some reason, the plot after their reunion made me impatient to continue reading. Maybe it's because of the male lead? I just couldn't bear to watch the part where they broke up again after their reunion. They were constantly bickering in the same way, and after a while, even I got annoyed.

He could see the names of the people others fantasized about. Socially dead, but not quite all the way.

   I don't really like the writing style of this novel. I especially love this author's other works, such as "Song Yuzhang," "Xiangyang," and "Shaodang," and I've subscribed to all of them. However, I can't stand reading the other works by the same author at all; the difference is too great.

5. 5 朕 I Really Can’t Drive a Mecha 朕真的不会开机甲 Returning Geese in Falling Snow归鸿落雪Danmei (BL)1.0M WordsCompleted Li Huan was an emperor. After spending thirty years unifying the realm, he died of overwork and transmigrated to a world hundreds of years in the future. An uncle had told him that people in the future lived peaceful, happy lives, with plenty of food and clothing and equality for all. But he stood in a barren wasteland, with a gigantic spaceship and rockets ahead of him, twisted zombies and hideous mutant creatures behind him, and someone kicking him to the ground.

   I really enjoyed the beginning; there was very little scheming between them, so I read dozens of chapters with great interest. But if it's all scheming from beginning to end, I get tired of it. I still prefer couples who think of each other, give to each other, support each other, and help each other out.

6. 6 驯 The Man Who Tamed the Bad Dog 驯服劣犬的男人 Qing Mei青浼Danmei (BL)769k WordsCompleted *This novel includes, but is not limited to, literature about a big brother stealing his younger brother’s love, an idiotic, childish top reforming his ways, a stepmother trope (planned as a landmine in an alternate-timeline extra), and forced love with twin brothers sandwiching the bottom. *The bottom has had intimate encounters that did not go all the way with several men who are not the official top. *Melodrama from beginning to end.

   I absolutely love this author's "Servant of the Wolf," but I don't understand why the writing style seems to have declined so much in this book. I felt a bit annoyed while reading it.

7. 7 莉 Lilith's Ledger 莉莉斯的账本 Penguin Fire Hydrant企鹅消防栓Romance375k WordsCompleted Heinrich thought he was coming to get married, not to be a woman's dog, accountant, maid, bodyguard, toy, and riding horse. He was the heir to the title of a rising German steel dynasty. But on his way to Venice to meet his bride, he was robbed and enslaved, then bought as a pet by a young widow. "From today on, I'm your owner." Heinrich knelt on the ground and looked up, only to discover that the person who had bought him was his own fiancée.

   This story is quite original, and the author's writing is excellent. My preference for a queen and a loyal dog remains unchanged, haha; I loved reading *Inu no Boku SS* when I was a kid. I stopped reading it because I was following other stories. However, this story has a plot where the female lead falls into hardship (although she's quickly rescued by the male lead), and I still prefer a loyal dog character throughout, so I didn't finish it.

8. 8 人 The Ultimate Guide to Wasting Your Life 人生浪费宝典 Gray Valley灰谷Danmei (BL)646k WordsCompleted Gu Yuting's car was caught in a landslide on the highway, and he came within a hair's breadth of dying in the wilderness. Luckily, Yu Shu saved his life, and he made it back alive. Grateful for the favor, Gu Yuting brought Yu Shu home with him. Yu Shu had lived in the mountains since childhood, cut off from the world. He knew nothing about social customs or how the world worked. That was all right. Gu Yuting could teach him, little by little.

   She is one of my favorite authors, and I have read all of her works. My favorite is "Steel Horn". However, the way the characters act, speak, and interact with others in this book is pretentious, and their ulterior motives, utilitarianism, and class consciousness are too strong. It has a strong Qidian flavor, which I don't like.

   I can't stand the male lead anymore. The relationship between the male and female leads is problematic, mainly due to the male lead. I think that if you want to create a male lead like this, then creating him in this direction is really annoying.

10. 10 修 A Second-Generation Cultivator’s Everyday Notes 修二代的日常随笔 The Drifting Mayfly浮游的蜉蝣No CP8.2M WordsCompleted As the title says, this is the uneventful daily life of a second-generation cultivator. A laid-back cultivation story focused on everyday life. The important part is the list of warnings. There are quite a few, so stay alert to avoid triggering any. If you do hit a nerve, click the little red X and get out at once. Here are the details: 1. First-person narration. The associated issue is that everything is seen from the protagonist’s perspective, so his understanding of the world may be one-side 95.9kFavorites278.3kClicks/ch500.9kGifts

    I don't know if the author lacks the skills to write web novels or if it's intentional; the details are rambling and verbose. Although I really wanted to keep reading, it wasn't worth it because I skimmed through most of it and didn't absorb much. However, I really liked the main characters and the warm family atmosphere, so I'm giving it a few more stars.

She died, then was reborn. When she opened her eyes, she found she’d become a dinosaur, while her former kindred, now human beings, were studying her. They called her the Tyrannosaurus Rex! 1. A leveling-up story, slow burn, with a couple. 2. The female lead doesn’t remember who she is at first. 3. A crossover of horror and Marvel/DC.

    I only saw the part where the snake was eaten, and the rest felt a bit repetitive, so I didn't watch anymore. But the beginning was really novel and very good! The phrase "If you can't stand it, life will find a way" appeared too many times throughout the parts I read, giving me the feeling of being lectured by the author, which was quite bothersome.

As expected, inside memories about as tidy as a garbage can, he dug up a real mess... Why was this woman always acting inappropriately affectionate toward him?

    The premise is novel, the writing is excellent, the pacing is great, and the reading experience is smooth—a rare find on JJ. I was initially pleasantly surprised, but the male lead's style is too overpowering. I tolerated it for a few chapters, but as the main characters' relationship progressed smoothly, the male lead's use of language actually increased, so I dropped the story. Because the problem lies with the male lead, I'm giving it fewer stars.
