Curator note

The author of the previous book said something about eating Amway. In fact, it should be 4.5 Stars, but Jinjiang does not allow 0.5 Stars... To put it simply, it is as the name suggests, the healthy love process of the original heroine (Bloodhaven forensic doctor, Spencer Reid's twin sister) and Dick. Solving crimes accounts for half, fighting Hydra/Joker accounts for half, and there is a little sweet love between young lovers in the middle. The writing style feels a little better than "Miss Wayne Seventh". This author is better at writing heart-warming daily stories. But in events involving big scenes, there are no big flaws in the writing and logic. The author's introduction is quite comprehensive, and there doesn't seem to be anything more to add.

Curator note

A non-CP family text with a DC background. It feels like a self-cut work by a British and American variety lover who has watched a lot of American TV series (because it can be seen that the author knows the original work well and has read a lot of fan fiction). The heroine is the author's original bat cub (but the worldview also incorporates some Marvel and Criminal Minds). The main text is actually quite good, and it is generally healing and heartwarming. However, the background setting of the heroine is quite miserable, and all the crimes you can think of have happened to her. Because of this, the heroine suffers from DID (Multiple Personality Disorder). Although it can be seen that the author has done a lot of work on DID, as one of the heroine's "gold fingers", the author deliberately made the heroine's disease much lighter than in reality. One of the heroine's personalities even succeeded in killing the clown (this part is in the text, so it shouldn't be a spoiler, right?) As one of the author's early works, this article is quite good. If you are interested in the subject matter, you can read it. The only one star is given to the writing style. The author used some Internet vocabulary in the early stages of the article, which was a bit dramatic, but he changed a lot later after readers reminded him, so the later reading is much smoother than the early stage. The author's words and responses are quite cute, and reading the interaction between the author and the reader after reading a chapter is quite healing.

3 魔 The Witch Is Actually Me [Western Fantasy] Heng ShiRomance1.7M WordsCompleted 48.2kFavorites37.3kClicks/ch141.5kGifts

Curator note

One of the best pieces I've seen this year. I don't know how to describe this work for a while. Compared with "Western Fantasy", this article seems to be a sophisticated, historical novel (?) Set in the Middle Ages. All the countries and all the big figures in it have historical prototypes. Phyllis is one of the rare heroines who is not perfect but is always growing, and this entire book can be seen as her growth experience from the ages of 8 to 28. It was her long-term experiences, the positive and negative passers-by in her life, who were all extremely flesh-and-blood, that shaped her later character image and personality. From the first tourist in a foreign land to a coward obsessed with beautiful fantasy. From her struggle after her dream was shattered to her revenge in anger. But fortunately, she finally found a more stable place where she could fulfill her friends' long-cherished wish (that's where she met the male protagonist). Aside from the author's unparalleled character creation (not just the portrayal of the heroine, but the portrayal of all characters who appear), the author's understanding of the Middle Ages and the large but rich worldview she derived from it are also amazing. The author spends a lot of time introducing the background in the middle period. Some people may find it boring, but it is necessary for the overall direction of the story. And I personally actually enjoyed reading these background stories (the intrigues between the nobles and the countries behind them, how an event that did not seem outstanding at the time caused immeasurable consequences through the butterfly effect...). The Spring and Autumn style of writing used by the author in the introduction is also very particular. Although the events in the introduction happened, they did not happen in the situations imagined by the readers, which also added a touch of fun to the reading itself. The appearance of the male protagonist is actually quite different from his subsequent appearance. I thought he was some gloomy boy, but he turned out to be a golden retriever (that's a pun). The male protagonist appears quite late, around chapter 2 or 300. However, this article is originally a serious drama, and the emotional line feels like an occasional embellishment (and as a pure love couple, the progress of this pair is also surprisingly slow). Compared to Lance, I feel that the professor (Phyllis' portable grandfather) is the male protagonist in terms of role. The professor is also a person with a very interesting personality but also a deep soul. He spent his whole life pursuing the truth. Even after his death, his obsession was that his book was destroyed and the knowledge in it could no longer be conveyed. Although he was a very intellectually rigorous man, he was not serious. However, we will not go into details for reasons of space. In short, no matter from which aspect, this article is worth reading, recommended by Wall Crack!

4 [ [Hp]my Owl Is Lost Green Radish SkirtRomance318k WordsCompleted 178.1kFavorites323.5kClicks/ch396.3kGifts

Curator note

The first HP fanfic I read, I can only say that it is very exciting (and the full text is free, thank you [here]). The author is so gentle, every character has a happy ending, and the regrets in the original work have been patched up with tiny stitches. An original heroine, but very original and charming. Mavis, always brave, always kind, always loving everyone. It is very rare for a fan to be able to do it without OOC, but this is an essentially excellent work despite the aura of the original work. Thanks to the author for the wonderful journey.

5 [ [Twilight] Dusk AzhuRomance127k WordsCompleted 3kFavorites8.6kClicks/ch475Gifts

Curator note

Twilight fanfic, not very long. The author is very good at psychological description. The psychological descriptions from the male and female protagonists' perspectives are very delicate and not boring to read. The story progresses very quickly. Although the emotional line is greater than the story line, there are no flaws in the plot. Overall, it's a good fan work.

6 [ [Western Crossover] My Childhood Friend Is a Superstar YoungGoddessRomance750k WordsCompleted 21kFavorites17.1kClicks/ch49.7kGifts

Curator note

Childhood sweethearts are the best! Charlie is really a very three-dimensional and charming character. No one can say no to Charli! Like Charlie? It's human nature. The author is very good at designing lines, so it feels more like a high-scoring American drama than a simple Chinese novel. I was so fascinated by it that I stayed up all night to finish it.

7 你 Hello, Mysterious Forensic Doctor [Sherlock Holmes] Eighteen of Mountains and SeasRomance1.1M WordsCompleted 20.7kFavorites25.7kClicks/ch44.1kGifts

Curator note

It's a super long novel, and I even felt a little sense of accomplishment (?) After reading it. I felt that the subsequent plot was more occult, and was different from Sherlock Holmes' original world view. It buried a lot of suspense, but it was all filled in later, so the overall logic is still smooth (this is rare!). The male and female protagonists are two strong characters, the kind of rational people who gradually fall for love... But in general, this book has plot line > emotional line, which is quite enjoyable to read.

8 [ [Comprehensive British and American] Do You Have Any Clues About the Explosion of the Paper? Yun BingyuRomance464k WordsCompleted 35.4kFavorites55.5kClicks/ch29.5kGifts

Curator note

A perfect book in every aspect. The heroine has great personal charm, high IQ + contrasting cuteness. The daily life of the male and female protagonists is also very interesting. Moreover, the villains in it all have brains, and the battles of wits and courage are also very exciting (ps. This book has a lot of commentaries, and it feels like there are a lot of people reading the book with me in a lively manner. It is also a very interesting experience)

9 和 Playing with Chopin on a Romantic Day SherlorRomance281k WordsCompleted 24.2kFavorites51.2kClicks/ch17.5kGifts

Curator note

The emotional description is very delicate. The female protagonist has her own independent personality and charm, and is not just the male protagonist's camera. The author is very thoughtful and has a bunch of references at the end of each chapter. Although the male protagonist is a historical celebrity, there is no OOC awkwardness at all. I was a little unaccustomed to the author's writing style at first, and it always felt a bit pretentious, but after reading it for a long time, I got used to it.
