1 我 I'm the Incompetent Alpha in an Explicit Novel 我是限制文里的无能alpha The White Fang of the Wasteland荒原的白牙Romance10k WordsCompleted One day, I got home from my usual evening shift and found a guest in the house. I had no idea when they had arrived. They were having a great conversation with my omega. Yes, my omega is beautiful and smells wonderful, but I'm just a wage slave, and my omega is the one who usually takes the initiative, almost every time. Lately, we'd grown distant. They complained that I worked too many hours and came home only to collapse straight into bed, and we'd been arguing about it. I pushed open the 89Favorites426Clicks/ch17Gifts

A listless, overworked female alpha and a dramatic, married male omega—the character setup isn't very appealing. It would be even better if the story could be expanded upon.

When he slipped into her arms, she had no self-control and hugged him back. The scent of the person in her arms filled her nose. She didn’t do anything improper. She just held him like that. She was bold, too, with lust enough to make the heavens blush. At night, she climbed over the wall and pinned him against the window, then pressed him against the rough wooden boards without showing him any mercy. H 9.4kFavorites16.1kClicks/ch6.8kGifts

It's a good story: a controlling, cunning, and rough woman x a feudal, coquettish, and pretentious man. Lots of parking lots. It perfectly satisfies my vulgar fantasies, but it gets a bit boring and repetitive towards the end.

It's a strong female lead/boy romance, not bad, a relaxing and sweet story. Although the frequent descriptions of the female lead's red lips, high heels, and big waves still annoyed me, the male lead, who's like a cat, is alright.

16 春 [GB] A Late Spring Dream 【GB】春梦晚 AKsRomance104k WordsCompleted The male lead is a fierce, willful, spoiled crybaby, with round eyes that make him look sweet and innocent. The female lead is pretty awful at first, and later there may be a redemption arc (no guarantees). Content warning: The male lead is intersex. No outline. Just writing whatever comes to mind. I'm going off the rails again, so please bear with me. The female lead is adopted and has no blood relation to the male lead. She changed her household registration when she went to university, so she 530Favorites1.2kClicks/ch114Gifts

Curator note

This is a mindless, wish-fulfillment novel riddled with grammatical errors. The female lead has a domineering personality and sadistic tendencies, the male lead is androgynous, and initially a crybaby and dramatic character. I kept reading because of a scene where he was brainwashed by the female lead into accepting cross-dressing. The last 20% features a dramatic "husband-chasing-after-the-wife" arc. Readers who are sensitive to this should proceed with caution.
