1. 1 我 I Have a Safe City 我有一座安全城 Cat in the Sugar糖中猫Romance1.5M WordsOngoing Cheng Qisheng was an ordinary person with a terminal illness. She received a miniature planet. Apart from one ruined city, there was nothing on it. Time on the miniature planet flowed many times faster than in her world. Cheng Qisheng decided to cultivate human civilization there and have the new humans find a cure for her illness. The good news: The new humans had a loyalty imprint that made them worship Cheng Qisheng as their creator god. The bad news: The new humans still couldn't find a cu 116.6kFavorites125kClicks/ch1.8MGifts

   At first, there were many women, but later on, it was all men who were highlighted, to the point that the ratio felt like 99:1. Women were either sick, dying, or being protected. There were even instances where, to emphasize the suffering of a minor character—who had lost his wife and children but whose cold-hearted father was still alive—the story was filled with a painful father-son relationship. There were many similar jinxes. Because the beginning was good, I read most of it, but later on, the supporting characters were given increasingly excessive advantages, while the number of ordinary women barely increased. It's disgusting, makes me want to vomit. Can authors who engage in fraudulent activities refund their money?

2. 2 天 Fate Is on My Side 天命在我 An Bai桉柏Romance1.6M WordsOngoing [Editing mode: in progress] [Don’t mention other people’s stories in my comments, and don’t mention my story in other people’s comments.] “My name is Shang Min, descendant of King Wu. If I ascend to the throne of the Human Emperor, I will uphold Heaven’s mandate and the people’s will, pacify the foreign tribes across the four seas, suppress the demons of this world, restore an age of peace and prosperity, renew the fortunes of our human race, and preserve its lineage.” The emperor is incompe 128kFavorites123.6kClicks/ch250.8kGifts

   The author of *Cyber* is the same person, and I recently read a BL pre-order, so their stance is quite clear.

3. 3 我 I Have Three Thousand Strategists to Help Me Break Worlds and Become an Immortal 我有谋士三千，助我破界成仙 Yuan Yu元余Romance883k WordsCompleted Yan Huaishu was the last emperor of the apocalypse. By a twist of fate, she revived in the cultivation world as an ordinary spirit master who could break at the slightest touch. Spirit masters had powerful souls but weak bodies, and when trouble arose, they could only hide in the rear. As a low-ranking nobody who had joined the sect while fleeing people hunting her down, Yan Huaishu should have been lost in the crowd. Until, during a trial, that helpless, fragile waste of a spirit master... s 25.8kFavorites20.1kClicks/ch71.2kGifts

   The gender ratio is disgusting; all the high-ranking characters are men, and the few women present seem to be there for political reasons... It's no different from male-oriented fiction.

4. 4 我 [Three Kingdoms] When Will My Sister Become Emperor? [三国]我妹究竟何时称帝 Xi Sanchun喜三春No CP702k WordsCompleted My new novel, "[Three Kingdoms] The Warlords Compete to Carry My Baby," is now underway.

   The gender ratio is extremely unbalanced, with numerous instances of female abuse and no victims seeking revenge. The female lead is humiliated by male supporting characters, and the plot often features male-male-male relationships plus a female lead disguised as a man. The writing style is difficult and cumbersome.

5. 5 猫 A Cat, Yet the Lord of Heresy 猫咪，但异端之主 Red Fluorescence红荧No CP653k WordsOngoing [Writer's block. Revising. Updates according to the rankings.] [Behind-the-scenes secret identity story, mildly creepy] Everyone who has entered the Otherworld knows the five iron rules. 1.

   The story appears to feature a strong female lead, but the protagonist is actually quite frail and pale; the author frequently describes her as thin and weak. The story includes a background of menstrual discrimination, seemingly a protest against this phenomenon, but the protagonist's character is portrayed as such and completely indifferent… it's as if the author suddenly got carried away and started to abuse the female lead.

6. 6 路 The Side Character Is a Total Powerhouse 路人她超神了 Long Qi龙柒Romance553k WordsCompleted [Complete] Ling Yi is a renowned bounty hunter in a wasteland world. During a mission, she gets transported to the future. Ling Yi’s original world has been turned into a full-dive game, and people all over the world are enthusiastically taking part. She has no interest in it and just wants to lie flat and live like a slacker. But everything in the future costs money, and Ling Yi can’t afford decent food or clothes.

   Curator note

   The author previously wrote about gay men, but repeatedly emphasized that this book does not contain homosexuality. However, those few chapters started depicting a gay rivalry with unparalleled chemistry, and the comments section was flooded with comments saying "So sweet! So sweet!" Before they kissed. One entire storyline is filled with explicit content, and the female lead becomes a camera for the gay men. Avoid this author; there's a very high probability they'll include their own biases.

7. 7 海 The Man's House by the Sea, the Woman's Wardrobe 海男之家，女人的衣柜 Child on the Toilet马桶上的小孩Romance2.1M WordsCompleted New novel: Help! I'm Surrounded by Men Who Want to Get Me Pregnant!

Add it to your to-read list! * A cyber-apocalypse adventure plus a forceful heroine and competitive romance. I'm terrible at writing blurbs, so feel free to try the free chapters.

   The author only focused on how the male protagonists had a good life when designing the female protagonist's personality...

8. 8 完 Oh No! Surrounded by Pregnant Men Who Hate Me! 完蛋！被恨孕男包围了！ Child on the Toilet马桶上的小孩Romance1.5M WordsCompleted 45.2kFavorites47.1kClicks/ch214.3kGifts

   Curator note

   The author deliberately exposes the female lead's scars and pain repeatedly to the male supporting characters who were then rivals for power, leading some to compare this to a romance novel where the female lead is the one being pursued. However, the female lead is consistently in a weaker position, and the male supporting characters exploit her weaknesses to coerce and entice her, ultimately undermining her efforts over a period of time. This is extremely difficult to evaluate. Be wary of this author's books; they appear to be enjoyable but are actually quite frustrating. It's clear the author prefers men to the protagonist, treating them like a son and daughter-in-law.

9. 9 普 An Ordinary Guide, Yet Courted by the Celestial Dragons 普通向导，但被天龙人们求爱 Xie Dongfeng谢东风Romance475k WordsCompleted [Please read the reader's guide first] Zhao Jing is an ordinary woman with no money, looks, or power, who transmigrated into a world of Sentinels and Guides.

   Romance novels featuring heartthrobs often include elements of homosexuality, containing historical depth that surpasses even the most popular romance novels.
