   Book Title: Five Years After Avoiding the Original Storyline [Loading] Seriously, I can't believe I actually dropped this story because of a supporting character. Can't Tang be a little more normal? He's the protagonist's best friend, not a madam. What's going on?

   Title: The Man Who Married a Tyrant [Transmigration] The extra chapters are terrifying. The seme truly managed to make the uke dependent on him, the only one he could rely on. The seme couldn't control the uke's parents and brother from severing their kinship, but he could control their children. The first child, instigated by the dominant partner, looked down on and rejected the submissive partner. Yet, due to the dominant partner's intimidation, he used sweet words to please the submissive partner. Soon, under the dominant partner's instigation, the first child began to encourage the submissive partner to have a second child. He lost his status as the dominant partner's only child, and the dominant partner only learned of his existence after understanding modern society. He was a child forced upon the submissive partner. The second child, under the influence of the first child, also prioritizes the first child. The first child dislikes the younger sister, so he rejects and ignores her. There's no explicit interaction between the main characters here, but we can see the main character's appreciation for the younger sister's personality and way of handling things. It's easy to sense that a power struggle might erupt between the first child and the younger sister later on.

Then she died of a heart attack from the excitement. After death, she was unexpectedly bound to the "Nobody" System. Back to her life as a wage slave, she transmigrated into one restricted-rating mini-world after another, playing the utterly forgettable passerby beside the protagonists, including but not limited to: The cowardly husband in 44.7kFavorites54.2kClicks/ch30kGifts

   Book Title: How to Possess a Beautiful Office Worker Main characters: Shen Anyu, Shen Xifu (Xie Xifu) (First World) I thought it was a borderline erotic story, but it turned out to be a heart-wrenching and soul-crushing revenge story.

As a domineering CEO, Gu Yanzhen considers himself flawless in every respect: slicked-back hair, a black suit, broad shoulders, and a devilishly charming smile honed through years of practice. He is practically the gold standard for CEOs. Even so, this perfect man has recently developed a problem. He is about to turn thirty, and he is still single! So President Gu made a big public show of looking for a partner. On a matchmaking site, h 7.5kFavorites9.5kClicks/ch1.9kGifts

   Book Title: The CEO's Code Main characters: Gu Yanzhen, Xie Han The young couple was great, and the friends were great too. It was just that the parents in the story were a real pain in the throat, a thorn in my side. I didn't even finish the free chapters before jumping straight to the parents' part, and then I felt like I'd swallowed a mouthful of shit. The protagonist (shou) was born to a scumbag as a kidney donor for his older brother. From childhood, he was raised as his brother's medical tool, and later became his parents' retirement tool and caregiver, even helping them raise his younger sister. His parents, in the end, never learned their lesson and lived a very carefree life. I'm speechless. The protagonist's revenge against his parents is to sever ties by only sending them money, not giving them any love or affection. That's brilliant! Raising children this way—small investment, big return! The first few chapters of Xiao Gu were so cute, but the later plot became so irritating. In short, Xiao Gu's life was just a tool. The rules for writing domineering CEOs, the rules for reading tools.

The System rattled on: “Every overpowered hero needs a virtuous, devoted wife. She quietly supports him, helps him succeed, and never gets jealous. We must...” Lou Qingying cut it off. “I'm a man, and I'm not into men.” The System said, “That's a minor issue. We can overcome any difficulty...

   Title: Becoming the First Wife of a Proud Dragon [Quick Transmigration] Main characters: Lou Qingxing, Pei Shou Although it's about playing a role in a small world, the constraints are very loose, and the protagonist can do whatever he wants. Rather than playing a role in a small world, it's more like changing the environment to get along. The feelings for each other became clear far too slowly. It wasn't until the third world that the protagonist realized his own feelings, and it wasn't until the fourth world that the two of them finally clicked. This novel was originally meant to be about romance, but the storyline was stretched out so long that it became rather dull. The protagonist is not a split-up protagonist; it's the same person, but he loses his memory in each of the smaller worlds.

   Title: "The American Schoolboy Gets Pampered by His Mixed-Race Daddy" This is another book misled by its labels. It's neither a sweet romance, nor a lighthearted read, nor a comedy.

   Book Title: The Fake Prince Consort, the Real Empress Main characters: He Gu, Pei Zhaoheng The beginning was well-written, but the middle section became less enjoyable. The scenes where the true identity of the protagonist was revealed were rushed; at chapters 142 and 57, a third of the story had passed, and the identity still hadn't been revealed. I couldn't continue reading. Especially since... The male lead pursued the female lead under his original identity before the truth was revealed, and the female lead was a prince consort who also loved the princess.

   Title: My Daddy's Become Entangled by the Vines Main characters: Zhen Ye, Rong Yu A story of mutual healing between a beautiful, pitiful bottom and a beautiful, strong top; a very appealing story. For me, the descriptions of the rabbit's sexuality were too explicit. The raw portrayal of his heat cycle, his uncontrollable fever leading to sexual intercourse with strangers, completely tarnished my impression of the protagonist, making me think of him as a sleazy, disheveled character. It made me feel like if the dominant partner left the protagonist for a few days, the protagonist would either cheat on me or become a sleazy, disheveled character. And then I could never enjoy the sweet 1v1 romance in the stories anymore. Furthermore, the novel's content is very short.

   Book Title: I Don't Need to Be Saved [Infinite] Main characters: Shen Lingzhu, Qianhe I only read the first story and found it very boring. The player was arrogant and domineering for too long in the beginning, and the protagonist's outburst was almost unsatisfying. And it's so exhausting to watch! The players don't pay for their lodgings, and they're incredibly arrogant and disdainful of the protagonist. The protagonist has to prepare three meals a day for them, and then they demolish the inn, forcing the protagonist to repair it. When they die, their bodies disappear, but bloodstains remain, requiring the protagonist to clean up. And the inn even has wooden floors... It's suffocating to watch, physically and mentally exhausted, and there's no compensation. The protagonist doesn't even charge money. Later, the victims are attacked and die, and the protagonist, in a fit of rage, kills them all, but doesn't get any rare treasures. The romantic relationship between the two is also uncomfortable to watch. As the older man, the way he handles the relationship is like a pervert seducing a teenager.

    Book Title: The Female A's Survival Handbook Main characters: Wang Luan, Yan Qiongyu Although it's a female-centric story, it still follows a male-strong, female-weak trope. The beginning is fine, but as the plot unfolds, it almost entirely revolves around the male lead's career and the female lead's camerawork.

    Title: "A scumbag doesn't deserve a cat" Main characters: Executor 003 (the cat), Du Yangyun (first world) The writing is good, but it's not to my taste. There are too many supporting characters, and some of them even have romantic relationships. The synopsis said it was a cat-loving story, so I thought it was a lighthearted slice-of-life romance, missing the serious drama tag.

    Title: My Ex-Husband Came Knocking After I Pretended to Have Amnesia Main characters: Xia Fengsheng, Shi Ye It's a great read, but it's not a sweet romance. The author skillfully uses a lot of funny and trending memes to create a witty, dryly humorous, and bittersweet love story with a hint of death. Like a lime, it's extremely sharp and sour. The slight citrus scent isn't enough to soothe the sadness after reading about the young couple's ordeal in the story. Poor thing.

    Title: Crematorium Scumbag Top Gets Replaced and Goes Off Work Main characters: Gu Xiu, Lu Shichen (First World) I only finished reading the first story. The process was okay, but the ending of the first world was really neither sweet nor satisfying. The story is a tragic ending (BE). The romance between the seme and uke will cause the story to collapse. There may be some foreshadowing later, but this is not a sweet and satisfying story. There's also this inexplicable system that deletes the attacker's memories without notifying the host—that's just unbelievable.
