Instance 13: Golden Auction City. Complete. The world was pulled into a game of black-and-white strategy. In each round, the opponents were monsters of extraordinary intelligence.

   This is a really good story about multiple identities! The author's ideas and imagination are quite brilliant. The dungeon content and the concept of the deities' identities are both very interesting. The early stages are a bit less satisfying because the protagonist's strength is insufficient; the early and even later dungeons rely more on using information asymmetry to clear them. The writing style is slightly weak; perhaps the author wanted to explain the protagonist's motivations more clearly and logically, but some sentences are too repetitive and verbose. A more concise style would be better. However, the writing is still good enough for me, and the flaws don't detract from the overall quality. The best part of this story is the setting up of the deities' identities—it's really good! [Fanfan] It seems like the author took a long break when setting up the fourth deity, probably due to a lack of inspiration. The return to writing the fourth deity's concept was truly inspired. My absolute favorite alternate account [heart eyes][food emoji], the first dungeon where the fourth deity alternate account appears is also my favorite dungeon, and in this dungeon our dear protagonist finally gets an epic ultimate move [fist bump emoji] (although it seems to be obtained through the "sacrifice" of the attacker [facepalm emoji]), and the ultimate move is so exhilarating... Oh, there's even a live stream of my favorite dungeon, so delicious... It's just that the updates are too slow. There was a long hiatus before, and now the author only updates on weekends to ensure quality [fist bump emoji], so the author's commitment to quality isn't very reliable. By the way, the new daily-updated novel next door is also very good (actually, I started reading the new novel first, and only read this one after finishing it and then flipping through the author's column [facepalm emoji]). I even found out when flipping through the author's column that I had read another novel by this author before, but that one also went on hiatus for a while, and I didn't read it much after that hiatus, but it's finished now. I can only say that this author's serialization isn't very good, but in the end, it still managed to finish.

2. 2 迷 Bewitching Formation 迷魂阵 Mauve Mallow锦葵紫Romance266k WordsCompleted Shen Xiyin’s husband was gravely injured while killing an evil spirit, leaving him unable to father an heir. As the head of a sect, he did not want to leave his position without a successor, nor did he want anyone to learn of this secret that would damage his reputation. He wanted Shen Xiyin to put the greater good first and secretly conceive a child with another man, giving birth to his “heir.” To that end, he schemed to push Shen Xiyin into the Bewitching Array. There was another man inside 206kFavorites170.9kClicks/ch167.4kGifts

   The initial tension was great. An honest guy versus a haughty beauty. The male lead was a bit arrogant at first, which was exactly what made the story so enjoyable. The female lead is very independent, arguably the most charming character in the whole book. The emotional descriptions are very delicate, especially the actions [heart emoji][heart emoji]. Thanks to the reviews, I can see the rest. The beginning had two storylines: one focused on the romance between the male and female leads, and the other on a suspenseful detective plot (jokingly called an advertisement), which was quite interesting, and the suspense was well-developed. After they got together, the plot became a bit rushed? But the male and female leads are still very appealing [food emoji].

In the sixth year of Hanyu, the Emperor traveled south of the Yangtze. No one expected him to bring a new girl into the palace. Shen Shiyuan hadn’t expected it either. She had only been a Yangzhou courtesan, sent to the prefect of Wuzhou as a favor. She had been the prefect’s concubine for ju 54.1kFavorites67.8kClicks/ch96.5kGifts

Free, short, around 100,000 characters.] In the two years since their marriage of convenience, Su Shengxin and her “husband,” Shang Yin, have met exactly three times. They took a few photos to show off their affection, and each meeting lasted less than a minute. In the third year of their marriage of convenience, they suddenly have to appear together on a couples’ reality dating show! The show is all about “sweetness” and “desire.” On the first day, the couple can’t t 35.9kFavorites52.5kClicks/ch26.3kGifts

   It's alright. It's a free novel. I read a little bit of it a while ago, then dug it out and finished it. But after reading it, I realized it's marked as a mutual top/bottom story [loading], I always thought it was Su Shengxin as the bottom [scratching head]

5. 5 春 No Entry in Spring 春天禁止入内 yespearRomance225k WordsCompleted /Print edition published, @Yespear This is a spring that never ends. Chi Chun spent eighteen years as a good girl who did nothing but bury herself in books. Only after getting into one of China’s top two universities did she realize she had no idea how to write about romance. She thought, If I’m going to date, I should date the best. And so, along with the spring breeze, her mischievous thoughts drifted over and landed on You Xu, the “Most Handsome Freshman” at the university next door, accor 31.5kFavorites32kClicks/ch8.8kGifts

   Curator note

   It's alright. It's a romance simulation game. Actually, after reading it, I felt the female lead wasn't as much of a "bad girl" as the synopsis described. At the beginning, she seemed a bit clueless about love, creating a bittersweet feeling, but the emotional descriptions were very delicate. Later, after she figured things out, it became sweet. The male lead is very clingy. The only thing that made me dislike him was that he secretly loved the female lead but didn't dare confess and even subtly tried to break up other couples [angry]. The other couples' love lines in the simulation game were also very enjoyable, quite bittersweet [pity]. The extra chapters weren't all completed.

   Curator note

   The writing is quite good. It's super enjoyable. I feel so sorry for the female lead, but I'm also moved by her resilience. Despite encountering many bad people and bad things, she still tries her best to live [pity]. The female lead comes from a poor family and was sold to a brothel; the men she meets aren't very good. I hate abusive men the most [angry]. The male lead is the emperor, and so far, he seems to be the best among the men. I'm really looking forward to the dramatic scenes that follow.

7. 7 新 My Husband Transmigrated to Steal Me From the Male Lead 新聘 Yu Shi榆莳Romance538k WordsCompleted Gu Lingyi, daughter of the Minister of Revenue, had two great regrets in her life. First, her childhood sweetheart and fiancé, Jiang Xuanqing, who had placed third in the palace exams, broke off their engagement in public: “I have no romantic feelings for you. From now on, you can think of me as your older brother.” Second, she believed Cui Yi’s empty promises that he would one day rise to the highest offices and always outshine Jiang Xuanqing. In a moment of foolishness, she agreed to marry h 307.1kFavorites265.2kClicks/ch349.7kGifts

   I found this on the best-selling list. It's very good. The plot flows smoothly. The female lead is really charming and has a very distinct personality. The male lead is a dream guy, and the two of them are so sweet. They're such an adorable couple. The cat-and-dog sculpted female and male leads are quite delicious, not bad at all. I watched the whole thing right away, and I'll stock up on the rest later and watch it when I have time.

8. 8 殿 Why Is Your Highness So Flustered? 殿下为何如此心虚 Watermelon Stir-Fried with Meat西瓜炒肉Danmei (BL)542k WordsCompleted In the twenty-third year of the Xuanqing era, the Crown Prince died, and the capital was thrown into turmoil. Shen Chiyi had transmigrated into a book, but as a bit-part character, a useless young lord. The imperial power struggle had nothing to do with him. He kept up the appearance of a sickly, good-for-nothing fool, while secretly traveling to Jiangnan under an assumed identity. By chance, he met a noble young man who had fallen on hard times. The young noble was refined, graceful, handsome 429.5kFavorites376.3kClicks/ch1MGifts

   Curator note

   I passed by the synopsis countless times on the monthly rankings, haha, but I finally read it anyway. I've almost finished it. It's pretty good. Both characters are equally beautiful. The descriptions of their beauty in the text are incredibly beautiful. The plot flows smoothly, there are basically no logical problems, and the character designs are quite good. I feel it's best to read it all at once after it's finished (I don't know what's wrong with the people in the comments section, they seem to be blind, constantly picking out issues that aren't really problems. It really affects the reading experience). The romance is delicious. It's just that the two of them fully confess their feelings too late, thankfully I didn't follow the serialization or I would have been so anxious. (But the interactions before their true identities are revealed are also quite interesting. The plot is also quite funny, the protagonist is constantly being manipulated by unwanted forces, but he still becomes the emperor in the end. [Sprinkling flowers] The protagonist's martial arts skills are superb, and it was so satisfying when his true martial arts skills were completely revealed.)

With exceptional talent and hard work, he was named a Master Chef of China at twenty-five. But before he could even savor the honor, he died in a car accident and transmigrated into the body of Dai Qian'en, a young layabout. The layabout came with two kids: his late brother and sister-in-law's orphaned children. The girl was fourtee 68.7kFavorites73.1kClicks/ch137.2kGifts

   I've read a bit. It's quite humorous and perfect for a change of pace. A chef is reborn as a street urchin, taking care of his niece and nephew. The protagonist, a wealthy young master, experiences life as his nephew's homeroom teacher. Both characters are quite funny. I've only seen the main characters set up a stall for a short while. It's very relaxing. Some plot points aren't formulaic, which is quite interesting.

    Um, it's hilarious how delicious the rich, beautiful, and poor (not really) illiterate guy is. Seriously though, it's pretty good. The bottom is a smart guy, sometimes surprisingly so. The top, well, sometimes he's kind of a ghost, but his brain is really terrible. Some of the misunderstandings are quite frustrating to watch. Illiterate guy, you need to study harder! Overall, the couple is sweet. (Read a bit before finishing.)

    Pretty cool. The protagonist transmigrates and is bound to a system, which is quite useful; hacking and plastic surgery are no problem for him. As the name suggests, he contacts potential clients (patriarchs of wealthy families) and pretends to be a returned young master to "train" his younger brothers/nephews. The other protagonist is the grandson of one of these clients, winning through sheer determination. I've read most of it; there are a few more left, I'll add more later.

The author's writing is quite good, and it doesn't feel out of place. The pairing is original. They're both still kids right now, so cute. Except for those with a past life connection.

    Hehe. It's a really funny book, but at times it's also a bit poignant and heartbreaking. The overall tone is a happy ending. It's a bit like rural literature (I guess). The two characters are actually one in high school and the other working, making them younger. After transmigrating, they're the same age. The seme is a completely innocent and straight-laced guy, you'd never guess he'd later ask his father for money for a hotel room (oh my god, I can't stop laughing every time I think about it). It's pretty good. It has both funny and slightly risqué moments. The two characters are really, really good. The uke will have a baby later. I'll add extra chapters later.

He had been married to the officer to bring him good fortune. The officer was tall and handsome, but cold and difficult, often making cutting remarks and ignoring him.

    It's pretty good. The protagonist goes out for fun, sleeps in a hotel, and is transported to the Republican era, exactly as he was, even bringing his phone and suitcase (there seems to be an explanation later, but I haven't seen it yet). The main character has a great personality, very cheerful and independent. His career path—designing clothes and opening a clothing store—is quite satisfying, and the romance is also delicious and down-to-earth, with the two of them bickering and teasing each other, giving it a youthful feel.

    It's really good! The part about starting as a general store and gradually building up to a department store is so satisfying. The whole family revolves around the female lead, and no one holds her back—it's so engaging and not frustrating at all. It's a Western novel where the female lead transmigrates to a fictional world. The interactions between her and the male lead are quite interesting. The female lead's character is very compelling; I really like this kind of shrewd and powerful behind-the-scenes woman.

    It's a light novel. The concept and character design are quite good. The only problem is the hiatus (although I anticipated it when I was halfway through the series). It just stopped without any warning. Now, the only question is when it will be unbanned. Seriously though: The theme is very novel, and the content of both manga is well-developed, with a smooth and immersive world both inside and outside the manga. The protagonist plus the villain's filter setting is really interesting; the contrast between the protagonist's own thoughts and the "divine flow" of others due to the filter makes it very engaging. Some of the author's writing styles are also quite interesting, making it very intriguing, and the protagonist's true identity is quite intriguing. Anyway, it's a bit of a shame. It feels like the author couldn't quite wrap up the later plot points. If it had been able to be resolved smoothly, it would have been quite good. Only one chapter in three months, Jin Liuliu, who are you trying to fool! Second editor: A new chapter was suddenly added, and surprisingly, there are no unfinished chapters. But I will wait until the series is complete before reading it.

    Sigh, I felt so sorry for the character after reading a bit. I can feel the psychological pain she's going through. I originally planned to read a melodramatic story to relax, but I ended up getting hooked anyway. The most interesting part of this story is the sexual aspect, the repression. I'll come back and read it again in a while. [Milk Tea emoji] Second Editor: I suddenly remembered this story. It just finished, so I checked the comments and ratings. In summary, I don't recommend reading it. The later parts are incredibly depressing, and there's a huge amount of cannon fodder male lead, who even spent eight years with the protagonist, who was forced into it. (Isn't this just marital rape?) Almost all the discussion revolves around the cannon fodder male lead; there's relatively little discussion about the main male lead. It might be suitable for reading on adult websites or erotica, but not on adult platforms like JJ. According to some comments, there's a lot of controversial content, it's not friendly to the protagonist, and it's quite morbid. (Honestly, based on the synopsis, I thought it would be more of a queen-like story with the protagonist having more control, but it turns out it's still the same old forced and pushed-along setup. There's even a "motherhood makes one strong" plot later on [facepalm and crying emoji]. Yes, there's pregnancy and childbirth, and I spent ages reading the comments trying to figure out who the father is [vomiting blood emoji].) Oh, and there's also synopsis fraud. The cannon fodder male lead wasn't even mentioned in the synopsis at the beginning. I guess they got carried away writing about him and couldn't stop, so they added a synopsis for him later, finally giving him a proper title. The protagonist eventually becomes a game streamer. (Yeah, that's right. And it's the most awesome thing about a Chinese boy dropping out of school to become a streamer.) Compared to the pure comedy at the beginning...

In reality, she was working late into the night drafting reports. Thinking back to her goal when she first started college, to retire the moment she graduated, made her want to cry. After transmigrating, she decided she didn’t care what era she’d landed in: she was going back to her original plan and absolutely refusing to work.

    The first short story was just right! [Milk Tea] God knows how much I wanted to see this horror movie about a psychopathic killer (the "Man-Magnet Version"). The two are a perfect match! [Thumbs Up] The bookish bottom starts shooting with zero frames per second—that contrast is so satisfying. They do all sorts of things in their dreams, but in reality, they have no problem with it and continue to be affectionate. That's what makes this straight male best friend so great! [Thumbs Up] The top is such a cuckold, how sexually repressed is he? Everything the bottom touches is the top's face. In a sense, pure love is invincible.

    Curator note

    It's a great read. I'd call it a sports novel. The protagonist is a cryogenically frozen person. His mother is incredibly kind; she earned hundreds of millions in her time to provide him with a cryogenic chamber. Centuries later, the money runs out, and he awakens, eventually being adopted. The future world setting is very interesting. Centuries ago, some Earthlings migrated to Mars, and now it's a world of Earthlings and Martians. The protagonist is conquering Mars. The main plot revolves around the protagonist participating in a national sports competition to cure his foster sister's illness, and there are elements of live-streamed superpowers. The protagonist is incredibly talented! The career development is very satisfying. The romance develops gradually. The overall pacing is a bit slow; the author mentioned there are several chapters, so it'll be a while before it's finished. Second editor: I saw the main character was going to play in the finals. So nervous! Ahhh, I wonder who won the first championship. I'll keep stockpiling them until the end of the competition [pity].

    I don't know how to put it, but Ling Yun is so charming, I don't know why, but this book feels so romantic. The protagonist (shou) meets the other protagonist (gong) while working as a waiter on a ship, and they hit it off. They chat, and the shou even wants to become a model. They disembark and separate, but meet again after a while and get together. These two are so in love, but they both come from wealthy families. The interactions between the two protagonists are quite interesting. The main storyline revolves around the shou participating in a modeling variety show, and the show itself is quite entertaining.
