   I don't particularly like workplace romance novels, but the female lead's ambition is commendable.

   It's a masterpiece with an extremely strong cinematic feel. It's not a particularly enjoyable read; it's rather depressing, and personally, I think the ending was rushed.

3. 3 买 Buying Life 买活 Yu Jing Peng Xiang御井烹香Romance6.6M WordsCompleted Food is paramount to the people, and Heaven is indifferent, treating all things like straw dogs. Yet there are always those with hearts devoted to the people, working day and night and overcoming every obstacle to secure their livelihood. *1+ Basic setup, updated every day at noon 2+ Infrastructure development + food + ensemble cast Theme: Strive tirelessly and reach for the heights. Human determination can overcome fate. 206.4kFavorites246.1kClicks/ch2.6MGifts

   "How Women Established a Socialist State in the Late Ming Dynasty" is an explanatory and somewhat formulaic novel, but the author is very meticulous in his research and details.

4. 4 从 Outlive Then Ascend 从长生苟到飞升 Xiao Shi, You Little Scumbag小时你个渣渣Romance2.7M WordsCompleted Lin Nanyin transmigrates into a world of cultivation, becoming an ordinary mortal. The heavens give her a golden finger: eternal youth and immortality. Yes, her lifespan is endless. She arrived at eighteen, and will be eighteen forever.

   What moved me about this unconventional cultivation-leveling story was the struggle between ordinary people in the cultivation world. Currently, the male protagonist hasn't appeared, and almost all of the female protagonist's friends are female.

5. 5 香 Hong Kong Detective [The Nineties] 香江神探[九零] Qing Hou轻侯Romance1.7M WordsCompleted Many years later, when speaking to a cover-story reporter from Time magazine, Yi Jiayi would look back on that distant afternoon when the head of the Major Crimes Unit took her to see a corpse... In that moment, she heard the victim's anguished cries, saw the killer's face, and gained the ability to mentally rewind a crime scene. From then on, Hong Kong had one fewer junior policewoman who drank tea and gossiped at work, then went on dates and went shopping after hours.

   The story was so well told. Although the plot was predictable and the male characters were numerous, it had a strong TVB feel and was very immersive. After reading it, I felt a blissful sensation, like drinking Hong Kong-style milk tea. It's the pinnacle of traditional strong female protagonist novels.

6. 6 食 A Feast for Every Taste 食全食美 Little Sweet Potato少地瓜Romance944k WordsCompleted [Negative reviews from jealous haters. Comments are closed.] Shi Yanxing, queen of the food service industry, transmigrated. A leaky, dilapidated house. Broken windows letting in the wind. Old folks and little kids.

   I forgot the male lead in this food-themed upgraded version of a novel, but it's not important anyway. There's less food later on, but that's understandable; it leans towards realism.

   The game has too many typos and the "gets stronger" trope, which makes it a bit confusing at first, but the heroine's rebellious and free spirit shines brightly. There's no official romantic pairing.

Male lead: Lu Beijing Female lead: Liu Wei Liu Wei transmigrates into Liu Sisi’s body and discovers that Liu Sisi is an entertainer tightly controlled by her agency. While filming a movie, she meets Lu Beijing, who greatly admires her.

   In this realistic portrayal of the entertainment industry, besides her dominance, she's the only one who truly shines. The female lead, a substitute for the male lead in the domestic entertainment scene, is slowly gaining her own identity. The male lead has more screen time, but it's understandable.

9. 9 我 The Game I Played Became Reality 我玩的游戏成真了 Southern Island Cherry南岛樱桃Romance1.3M WordsCompleted Gods at War is a strategy mobile game packed with different ways to play. Players draw a divine role, meet believers, choose a development path, expand their divine domain, and compete against one another. Our protagonist is incredibly lucky at games, the sort who can pull a miracle with a single draw. For example, in this game, one pull landed her the only unique divine role: God of Luck. The night she drew it, the game became real. * The heroine: I’m going to make the gods of the sun, moon, wi 49.1kFavorites118.1kClicks/ch113.7kGifts

    I love the female lead's cool and aloof demeanor after she becomes stronger. What's wrong with a woman being cool like that?! It's so great that the female lead isn't obsessed with saving the world! I love Longlong, who isn't all that's good and beautiful!

    The male protagonist in this Western fantasy story has no romantic partner. The story is very exciting and imaginative, but the author is not good at large-scale battle scenes.

    Duomu, what a writing genius you are! Your writing is so good, the story is top-notch, and the ending is such a pity because Shen He omitted so much of it. I could read 1000 chapters of Yan Yan and Ms. Zhu's story.

    Curator note

    I didn't like the male lead's illness; he had a lot of screen time, but he was still present. The appeal lies in the interesting concept of the female lead raising a magical beast. The storyline is also good; it's a top-notch traditional cultivation/leveling-up story. It should be a minor hit on Dianping or Tomato.

    The American entertainment transmigration novel has very formulaic characters and plots, but the author has written the American entertainment world so interestingly! I really need to read more American entertainment novels!
