   I stayed up all night to finish reading version 2.0. The protagonist has the feel of a reliable and charming adult, with subtle expressions, restrained speech, and crisp fighting style, even a touch of melancholic office worker vibe. I love it. Why is the update schedule so unstable again? It's so frustrating. It's reignited my joy of sifting through the garbage on Jinjiang Literature City. Good morning, 8 AM, you're free! [Melted emoji]

He was frivolous, arrogant, and conceited. Yet he was also dazzling and radiant. But only Bu Chun had seen his other side, helpless and pitiful. But that person was her younger brother. Everyone knew that the person Chen Zhen despised most was his stepsister. Plain-looking and taciturn, she was so dense she never understood his sarcastic remarks.

I'm in Japan, just got off the train, transmigrated overnight, and have no money. I'm trying to stay alive and keep my distance from the Elementary School Detective of Death. I had a fake ID for "Sunahara Keiko" made online, and when I was at my wit's end, I saw a job posting from Yatsuba Biopharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. There's no way I'd work for a living, but they offered way too much money. I used a padded resume to bluff my way into the company's inner circle.

Her job is to transmigrate into the female leads of abuse stories and endure one torturous physical and emotional romance after another. Unlike ordinary task-takers, Shen Ying absolutely loves this job. The tasks are easy, the pay is high, and there are all kinds of hidden benefits waiting to be discovered. The only fly in the ointment is that the System keeps urging her to resign, saying that someone as talented as her should not be wasting 147.9kFavorites320.5kClicks/ch274.1kGifts

   Curator note

   2.0 Features some protagonist-centric, feel-good stories, some classic (?) Tragic plot twists, some supporting characters who seem a bit dim-witted, and the ending feels somewhat rushed. (After reading "Born a Child" and getting so angry, I reread this one—it was so satisfying!)

My boyfriend is a male host. Even my sponsor (aka my wallet) is a damn male host. OMG! My world is surrounde 8.2kFavorites9.6kClicks/ch18.9kGifts

    Curator note

    2.0 This is my first time reading a male escort story! It's quite interesting. The protagonist is a hedonistic demon who follows his heart. I enjoyed the beginning, but the emotions became too intense and profound towards the end, which I personally found a bit overwhelming. (I'll read the ending when I have time [cheek rest]). I feel that reading in the first person is quite mentally taxing; I felt exhausted after finishing it. I think I'll have to avoid first-person narratives for a while.

    I love VV, the protagonist of the mouse-themed series, a very charming protagonist [sprinkling flowers]. I'm so captivated by this feeling of a protagonist with many layers of masks, whose true heart is never revealed, and whose words are never the truth.

    I really like how the protagonist always lives a good life; he seems very vibrant. No matter how exciting the love-hate entanglements are, the protagonist always actively loves himself.

    The protagonist gains inner peace while playing the game, and each world has some interesting side quests. Some of the more murky side quests are really enjoyable (maybe "murky" isn't the right word, I'm running out of ideas).

    The story is very fun. The main characters are mountain spirits and monsters with interesting thought processes. Their interactions with their master are adorable, like little animals.

    The protagonist is very charismatic and in control of the overall situation, primarily focused on career, but the romance aspect is also quite enjoyable.

    The world-building and plot are amazing. The protagonist gradually becomes stronger, but it's also very heartbreaking. I felt sad for a long time after the ending. The other characters are also very well written.

Cheng Baozhou came across a soft-rice-eater novel with a truly unusual premise. At first glance, it seemed like a classic male-led power-progression story. In reality, the male lead’s greatest cheat was his childhood friend, who wasn’t his love interest at all, but a flirtatious little sister who was good at sweet-talking men. The villain picks a fight?

    Curator note

    I rewatched it, and it felt completely different from what I remembered. The first half was quite melodramatic and funny, but the later part was dark and gritty. The protagonist is the type who gets bored easily; he can be moved by genuine emotions and give his all, but he can also quickly get bored and leave, leaving others with endless pain. I hope this new world will bring you something new.
