1. 1 别 Stop Pining for Someone Who Follows the Ruthless Dao! 别再单恋无情道了！ Nanhuo Jiangmu南火绛木Danmei (BL)344k WordsCompleted [Third-person narration] Though I leave a trail of flirtations and scandals wherever I go, I am the foremost practitioner of the Heartless Dao in the world today. My sect first scolds me for indulging in worldly romance, then turns around and indulges me in every way, making excuses on my behalf. My master says, perfectly self-righteous, “The mortal world is full of distractions. What could he possibly know?” The prodigies of my generation are ashamed to fall in love, yet one by one their name 3.2kFavorites2kClicks/ch6.1kGifts

   Completely ruined [lying down], the anticlimactic ending is top-tier. The seemingly charming but actually ruthless seme is a heartthrob who prioritizes true love above all else, willing to do anything to achieve his goals. The uke (male lead) is a fan of strength and ecstatic. The partners' ways of being devoted are also incredibly diverse, especially the way they fall for the seme despite knowing his cold-blooded nature – very appealing. The setting is genuinely interesting, including the cultivation methods, the background of the cultivation world, and the characters of the partners. I was really looking forward to the parallel development of the leveling-up path and the romance, but halfway through, the narrative suddenly felt chaotic, and the later parts were even more perfunctory, with one or two chapters or sections rushing through the plot. The last chapter ended at 10x speed, which was quite disappointing. The foreshadowing in the opening flashback wasn't resolved, the synopsis wasn't fully developed, and the partners who appeared in the middle stopped interacting and were simply abandoned. A particularly regrettable book; it had smooth writing and an interesting setting, but ended up feeling abruptly cut short.

2. 2 风 The Charming Rogue 风流种 Heart Toward Divine Wisdom心向神知Danmei (BL)289k WordsCompleted (It's late at night, and my angsty-romance brain has kicked in. Still an older-top-younger-bottom pairing.) A flirtatious, shameless drama king who loves to act cute and spout sweet nothings but never follows through. Top & A calculating, cautious pragmatist who seems cold but takes care of everything.

   This is the most engaging book in the author's column [Holding onto a Thigh]. The protagonist is a charming, carefree, and irresistible seme (top), and a lovable, whiny uke (bottom), who remains a typical domineering CEO. The early stages of their relationship were incredibly sweet. The uke appears cold and composed but is always there when called upon, subtly and gradually becoming devoted. The most satisfying part is when the two rational individuals discuss parting ways. For the seme, it's just a fleeting romance, something he could easily walk away from. But the uke, always calm, self-possessed, and rational, finds it hard to extricate himself, investing the deepest emotions into what should be a restrained person. Later, after they reconcile, the uke claims it's a test, but it's really just a way of being affectionate and manipulative. It's so cute, it feels like a quirk of the author's. Several other books I've read where the seme returns to the seme have similar dynamics. Compared to the earlier back-and-forth, this part feels a bit weaker, and the scenes of close friendship that I really enjoyed are also significantly reduced. However, overall, it's not a major flaw. The writing style has improved compared to the "Glass Heart" period. Before, there were occasional moments when I would feel a jolt, but this book doesn't have that problem at all.

3. 3 与 99 Ways to Get Along with a Short-Tempered Top 与暴躁攻相处的99种方法 Black Floor黑色地板Danmei (BL)186k WordsCompleted 1. The protagonist is the gong, and the shou dotes on him. The gong is a heartthrob. "Thousands" is just a figure of speech, meaning several. 2. Terrible writing. In one sentence: The gong is steadfastly fighting on the front lines against homosexuality.

   A delicious 1vN classic novel. The protagonist is a straight-laced, old-fashioned, but simple-minded and soft-hearted man who is easily coaxed, allowing the other characters to take advantage of him step by step. However, our Third Master remains steadfast in his principles and perseveres to the end [milk tea emoji]. The three characters can be described as a loyal adopted son, a playboy, and a lecherous man. The psychological descriptions of their intertwined emotions and feelings as they are stirred by the protagonist are very rich, with very strong suggestive elements, making for a beautiful read. Although older novels inevitably use some archaic language, it doesn't feel out of place; the writing is smooth, and the overall style is humorous and lighthearted.

4. 4 每21+ A New Scandal Breaks Every Day 每天传出一条新绯闻 A Tree Full of Ghosts一树幽灵Danmei (BL)175k WordsCompleted 6.6kFavorites4.5kClicks/ch8.1kGifts

   Curator note

   A very peaceful short story, featuring a charming actor with a knack for scandals as the seme and his childhood best friend who eventually becomes the uke. Besides the main character, there are three other suitors, but none are truly competitive. The suitors are all secretly showing affection, harboring crushes, and offering support. The protagonist: the rumors are pure nonsense! Although Jia Mo's life is full of drama and controversy, the romance is surprisingly pure. It's a classic "best friend becomes the uke" story [milk tea], and leans towards mutual pampering. The career storyline is very enjoyable to read; the author includes scenes from the protagonist's films, and the characters in these scenes are well-developed and charming.

5. 5 玻 Fragile Heart 玻璃心 Heart Toward Divine Wisdom心向神知Danmei (BL)362k WordsCompleted Gap moe puppy-like younger gong & steady, reliable older shou Jin Rong picked up a child on a whim. The child was pretty, cute, and clever, but he had a heart of glass. One wrong word and he'd sulk. The moment he tried to act tough, he'd start crying pitifully. He'd stage a hunger strike eight times in three days, demanding to be comforted and kept company. And then make Jin Rong swear he'd never leave him. People said Jin Rong had picked up a little tyrant. Well, a tyrant he was. Jin Rong l 9.4kFavorites7kClicks/ch5kGifts

   Purely a romance story. A highly sensitive, proud, and needy kitten-like seme [poor thing], the story of a young man whose passionate heart is shattered and then mended. The seme has a very strong older man/younger woman dynamic; in the beginning, I was a little dizzy from the older man vibe. The consequence of this overly mature dynamic is that it comes across as a bit old-fashioned… While there is a "cremation scene" (a dramatic, tragic ending), I personally feel it's not the conventional kind, because the seme has 100% love for the seme from beginning to end (except for the incident that caused the conflict), and is incredibly doting. I think one of the reasons for their conflict was that the seme treated the seme too much like a child, which could be misinterpreted as a lack of trust in the other's ability to solve problems independently. After the conflict is resolved, the seme returns affection quite quickly, and by the halfway point of the story, they've reconciled. After their reconciliation, the seme's character development is within a normal range (not so old-fashioned!). Another seme pursues the seme at one point, but he feels more like a tool, with very low competitiveness; his appearance is just to help the seme mature. The side couple's character design in the extra chapters is very much to my liking: a kind and loving beagle puppy x a fake saint who's actually mentally ill. It cured my problem of not liking extra chapters or shipping side couples [milk tea emoji]. I give the main story four stars, and I'll add one more star for the side couple.

6. 6 看 Better to Practice Swordsmanship Than Read the News 看报不如练剑 Singing on the Tree树上行歌Danmei (BL)313k WordsCompleted On a certain day in a certain month of a certain year, the Heavenly Dao sent a message to Qinghe Monastery. One of the disciples in the sect would one day fall in love with Luo Xinghe, the most beautiful person in the world. Together, they would experience a passionate, life-and-death romance that shook the Three Realms and went down in history. The elders were to ensure that everything proceeded smoothly.

   You are a cultivator, and your target is a fox demon. Please choose your identity card: 1. A shadowy, crawling loser 2. An awkward, deeply closeted pursuer 3. A furry enthusiast with two hundred years of experience in hair care 4. Nemesis, childhood friend, roommate, and best friend. You chose 4. [Fireworks] Congratulations on obtaining a fluffy, smiling little flame fox [pat on the head]. The little Pei is especially cute, soft to the touch, like mist, like rain (no), and like wind. A master of anthropomorphism, but while anthropomorphic, she also reveals some inhuman qualities. She is a free-spirited demon whose wildness hasn't been stripped away. The dominance derived from her hunting instincts is truly exquisite… The loser route is so appealing (just a one-sided crush). The free-flying swallow has become a caged bird bound by self-imposed constraints. Although the main character is both a ruthless cultivator and a demon lord, their interactions occasionally reveal an astonishingly pure love (although he is also strictly controlled…?). The character has a very accurate self-positioning, doesn't demand equality from others, and happily accepts the possibility of being "eaten" by the attacker: because she will be the first and last, the only "food." Speaking of which, I'm reminded of some Fork & Cake. The interactions between the family and friends are also incredibly cute. The "friends and buddies" combination with her senior brother makes me so happy; I want to apply to join the "Fox-Touching Squad" too [please!]. The (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or witty remarks) about the stereotypical "original book" issues is also very satisfying to read. The writing is fluent, the storyline is clear and concise, and the flashbacks are interspersed with a good balance of tension and release. A masterpiece.

7. 7 在 Playing the Seductive Gong Lead in a Boys’ Love Game 在纯爱游戏当钓系主角攻 Refuse to Lose拒绝败北Danmei (BL)195k WordsCompleted You're an ordinary university student.

Your curiosity piqued, you open the game. And this is how the story unfolds 1. You're the CEO's secretary, diligent and conscientious. One day, you take some documents upstairs to get signed.

   Curator note

   The male lead is a seemingly affectionate but actually detached observer in relationships, fulfilling various desires in one go, but ultimately having no legitimate love interest. The game's setting is quite interesting, and the difference between the alternating second-person and third-person perspectives is also very intriguing. The ending is quite surprising, and the author's intentions are completely clear, but the ending feels rushed. The premise is appealing, but it lacks depth, development, or any subsequent plot points. Some early foreshadowing is also left unresolved, making it a somewhat disappointing ending.

8. 8 和 I Married My Best Friend's Beloved 和挚友的心上人成婚了 Cen Baishui岑白水Danmei (BL)87k WordsCompleted He Feng and I have known each other since we were little kids in split-crotch pants. For over twenty years, no one has been closer to us. We could even call each other best friends in public. He Feng went off to serve his country as a young general, while I stayed in the capital and obediently played the spoiled heir. I hadn't enjoyed the good life for long before my father told me I was old enough to get married. So I somehow ended up married, and, of all the people in the world, my marriage 570Favorites1.1kClicks/ch99Gifts

   Free, lighthearted bedtime story. Although this protagonist has married two men (one against two), he surprisingly has a straightforward, honest feel to him. It's fair to say that if it weren't for the two bottoms' insistence, his marriages would be very traditional, with the husband and wife respecting each other. He's very soft-hearted and always feels pressured by others' love, expecting to reciprocate with equal respect. Even at the beginning of both relationships, no one respected or even consulted his opinion (which is quite frustrating). But now that the situation is irreversible, he feels he must take on the corresponding responsibility. In short, he's a pretty straightforward and good man. Both bottoms are very passionate, but their self-centeredness is a bit unsettling for the reader. However, I think: a gentle approach will lead to a smooth life, so I wish the three of you a happy life. The writing is relaxed and smooth, making for a pleasant reading experience.

9. 9 论 How a Snarky Male Insect Played a Vile Cannon Fodder 论吐槽役雄虫如何扮演败类炮灰 Heart Toward Divine Wisdom心向神知Danmei (BL)360k WordsCompleted A cool, snarky, genuinely expendable cannon-fodder character who doesn't know how strong he is as the top & A mad general who has an 800-meter soft spot for good boys as the bottom (Both are strong, they dote on each other, with a slight preference for the top; a light ensemble cast; easygoing tone) (Lingling is the only protagonist, and the entire world revolves around him) (No secondary pairings; the top is doted on by everyone; plot and romance both feature heavily) A fictional, imaginary wor 16.6kFavorites17.2kClicks/ch8.3kGifts

   Curator note

   The protagonist is a beautiful, strong, and tragic former human turned insectoid, a talkative and sarcastic character who is also a master of charming and flattering others. He possesses maximum strength and quick wit. The other character is a typical insectoid trope: a love-struck, possessive, and somewhat eccentric individual. He has a fatally obedient "good boy" filter for the protagonist, which was a bit jarring at first, as the protagonist seemed lost in his own fantasy. However, I became less sensitive to this later on. The early chapters focus more on building friendships, with numerous scenes of close friends, which was quite endearing. Later, the romance shifted abruptly, becoming incredibly sweet and affectionate, with the protagonist transforming into a delicate flower in front of her love interest. This story is from 2025, and the author's writing style is clearly not as good as newer works. Aside from the romance, the plot is slightly chaotic, but the characters are still very cute, and the protagonist is extremely doting on the other.

    The first-person narrator, a sarcastic and humorous character, has an endearing contrast between his actions and inner thoughts. He's incredibly popular but only has a homosexual tendency. The main character and several potential partners are rather boring and childish, like playing house. Although he seems to be the center of attention when they're together, he always seems passive. After watching, all I want to know is, does anyone here even understand human language?

So Zhetan worked hard at his cultivation, diligently and conscientiously, until he became the revered Sword Venerable of Spirit Sword Cliff, an immortal-looking paragon of virtue with countless followers.

    Such a delicious short story… All fans of strong and beautiful characters should come and see this Sword Master [hugging thigh]. Although I think I was framed by the title of the live stream, leading the viewers to portray me as the villainous boss, doesn't the streamer himself have any problems? [Shut up]. At the beginning, I thought he was a diligent worker, but the more I read, the more I realized that beneath his calm exterior, there was a subtle sense of gravity. He was extremely lawful in his justice, and anything that didn't follow the rules was unnecessary. He had an extremely strong desire for control. Although the protagonist did some things that seemed like villainous acts, we are truly partners of justice! He diligently upholds the righteous path, but occasionally reveals a hint of evil. Isn't that too charming? [Pity] His ability to leave after doing something is also an essential part of the story. In terms of strength, he is undeniably strong throughout the entire story, a complete numerical monster. The entire cultivation world holds him in awe. The comments section is both firmly convinced that the streamer is the villain and firmly protecting him. It's incredibly satisfying. The writing is vivid and the logic is smooth. A masterpiece.

    It should actually be considered an episodic novel rather than a quick transmigration story. The only common point between the two episodes is the system and the protagonist who had a certain functional deficiency before transmigrating. The first episode has a very strong Japanese suspense novel style in the early stages, combined with RPG tabletop role-playing style writing, which is quite interesting. However, there is a gap between the author's writing skills and ideas, and the plot logic is not very clear and is rather disjointed. Later, the description of the romantic lines increases and the writing becomes smoother. The first episode features a charmingly wicked and slightly wicked handsome guy who worked as a preschool teacher before transmigrating. So, even before they officially met, he had already raised the protagonist as a child who needed care. In the end, he raised a wet little dog, but how can you blame the guy? [Hugs] Although the guy's preference is wet groin [poor guy]. The protagonist is a very typical Japanese-style artsy, gloomy, and heavy-handed man. When his love-struck mind goes blank, the humidity level can reach an astonishing 200%. He wants the muse's love and hate to be directed only at him. His mental state is constantly on the verge of collapse, and he suspects that his mind is always contemplating a happy ending where both of them die. However, as soon as the muse offers a slight explanation, this man quickly kneels down. He wants to be a human accessory while alive and a bound spirit to the muse even in death. I personally feel that another subtle and interesting point is that when the seme was just a past version of the muse in a dream, this man turned all the followers/those who wanted to climb onto him into the muse's obsessive fans [rainbow fart]. He's basically recruiting believers for his god. The second unit is very short. Reading the article might not be as helpful as reading the synopsis to understand the plot. Is the seme a saintly father who's easy to humiliate and pursued by a slut? [Oh oh oh] The blind setting is also very erotic, but unfortunately, this unit is too brief to say much.

    Curator note

    The story follows a popular, adorable, and domineering protagonist. The first 80% can be summarized as the Octopus King's school days, with a generally light and cheerful atmosphere. The pain of unrequited love is reserved for those yearning for divine mercy; the little octopus simply studies diligently, works part-time, and dreams of ruling human society after achieving great success. The last 20% suddenly erupts into a major war/political struggle, but the revelation of the truth is rushed and vague, leaving many questions unanswered. This imbalance in pacing may be due to the author's return after a long hiatus. Almost all five characters are essentially "Celestial Dragons" (a term used to describe powerful figures in Chinese fantasy novels), with the seemingly successful rise to power in the epilogue likely belonging to the "Big Dog Minister" type. The author's favoritism is evident in the main text, as he is portrayed as a legendary opportunist. Compared to his indifference towards the others, the little octopus seems to avoid his feelings, a kind of spiritual victory: avoidance also creates emotional fluctuations. Another "old flame" story, which should have been profound, ended abruptly, feeling anticlimactic. A close friend during hardship, once each other's only support, why did they go astray after all the suffering? Two chapters of memoirs set in a rented apartment were quite good, completely reversing the previous negative reviews. Unfortunately, the ending was too rushed; the villain's grand finale was abruptly cut short. The story's logic and pacing are somewhat problematic. Many chapters and paragraphs, taken individually, are emotionally engaging and have a beautiful atmosphere, but the overall narrative feels disjointed and disjointed. Those who enjoy the Dihua style might find it worthwhile; the Octopus King is genuinely cute. However, don't focus too much on the plot details by the end; just appreciate the emotions within the passages.

    Curator note

    A few plot points were found amidst a multitude of references. There are five worlds in total, with an overall slice-of-life writing style that abruptly ends. The protagonist and system have many internal monologues, and the protagonist is a comedic, chuunibyou (delusional) puppy-dog. The first world is very humorous, and the handling of the emotional shifts between the several arrows is the most delicate in the entire book. In the later worlds, the characters become more appealing, but the development becomes somewhat nonsensical, with occasional strokes of genius. While the protagonist isn't overly straight, he's only 0.01% Gay, more like an immature child who hasn't yet grasped romance, so he treats each love interest quite formally, truly just completing a mission! Each world's ending is as peaceful as simply finishing a visual novel. The plot's flow is somewhat lacking, but as a lighthearted and entertaining read, it's still quite enjoyable.

    Curator note

    If I were to write an impression chart of the seme and uke, their thought process would be: emotionally stable ninja x typical Celestial Dragon → love-struck x arrogant male chauvinist → scumbag → do whatever you want, as long as you're happy. Perhaps because Professor Liang's writing is understated and the author's style is decent, I finished reading this novel, which is almost completely against my tastes, with a calm mind. The seme is usually an emotionally stable person, as can be seen from his relationship with his ex. Although he is a very tolerant and considerate person, he has strong boundaries. So, although he is not a conflicted person, he may need a lover who can't be driven away, and the uke happens to be the one who can continuously stir his heartstrings. The protagonist (uke) is extremely arrogant. During the pursuit or after they get together, he can be charming and humble, but this is all based on the premise that everything is under his control. For example, his initial interest in the other protagonist (seme) stemmed from a desire to conquer. Once things get out of his control—for example, if the other protagonist repeatedly rejects his advances or breaks up with him—he'll drop his mask. Sometimes his threatening words really struck me as low. The conflicts between them aren't so much due to differing values, but rather because the protagonist doesn't love enough, or rather, his love isn't linked to respect. Their eventual reconciliation is entirely because the other protagonist loves him too much. After the protagonist shows respect and his sacrifices, this man immediately soberly falls back into his slump. Okay! The most unreliable thing in the world is the "last time" promised by someone in love. Finally, a few points I didn't like: 1. Too many gossipy passersby, which was annoying; 2. The protagonist's neglect of his parents' illness was later used as part of the uke's pursuit of him (very abrupt and inconsistent with his character); 3. The uke believed that being a bottom was a sacrifice, and this belief remained almost unchanged until the end. He even spread rumors about being a bottom to reassure the protagonist that he would never choose to marry another woman, and there were scenes of people around him/passersby pointing fingers at him, as if being a bottom truly was a sacrifice. Purely from a story perspective, the emotional development is quite smooth and full, depicting a romance between two adults, but it has nothing to do with the "feel-good" story advertised in the synopsis (who actually got the satisfaction, the uke?). Those with very high tolerance for emotional fluctuations should definitely not read this, as there is a risk of getting angry.

    100% Mary Sue, Strong, and Tragic. The first half of the book was a bit cheesy, but the author is very good at controlling the plot. Although the sex scenes are intense, there's almost no tension between the protagonist and the love interest, so the reading experience is comfortable. Each of the love interests has its own unique charm, but I personally think the most melodramatic one is the best. I feel the author wrote this love interest beautifully, as it's significantly longer than the others, and the emotional descriptions are more detailed. The protagonist is actually very gentle and easily moved, even when rejecting someone, it's usually a gentle but sharp rebuke. However, he becomes exceptionally cold-hearted when facing this particular person, which is quite unique and can't be considered a bad thing [rainbow praise]. The main love interest is relatively bland compared to the others. Although the protagonist falls in love and returns the love interest after experiencing intense emotions, the description lacks tension and doesn't feel very strong. At the beginning, he's a bit silly and quite endearing, but his personality changes drastically as the plot develops (or rather, he reverts to his true nature), and he even becomes a bit soft towards the end. He only wins because he has no entanglements and no one holds him back. He's an unremarkable love interest, but perhaps plain and simple is the best. Those who dislike weak love interests should be aware that his first love is an omega, but surprisingly, it's written very purely and beautifully. Compared to the romance that takes off after just a couple of chapters, the plot feels rather rushed. The main storyline is roughly explained, but it lacks any real excitement or any significant character development stemming from the tragic circumstances. The ending is rather bland, lacking any plot twists or vindication. The writing is very smooth, making it a pleasant read, almost entirely in one go.

    The first half of the book contains a slight touch of "dihua" (a term referring to a certain type of eccentric or eccentric personality), specifically manifested in the protagonist's taciturn nature leading to misunderstandings. The latter half is less eccentric, and personally, I felt that the author's writing style was better showcased after the digression, although the earlier parts were occasionally a bit awkward. The protagonist is a seemingly cold and provocative but actually emotionally detached and endearingly naive man [poor guy]. The pairing is a traditional strong-strong dynamic, with the other person's self-conquest being quite funny. However, the romance is more of a seasoning in this story, not a major element, and the ending feels rather abrupt. One could say the other person won by being the first to enter the story and get the protagonist used to having only him, while the protagonist seems to have trouble distinguishing between possessive friendship and romantic love. What I felt was a shortcoming in the handling of the romance was that I wanted the protagonist to have normal family, friendship, and romantic relationships. He already has family and romantic relationships, but his friendship is lost in a series of events, which is regrettable. Returning to the plot, which constitutes a large portion of the story, the narrative picks up significantly around chapter 50, with the protagonist's mysterious past gradually coming to light. This part features the most meticulously crafted and well-written foreshadowing of the three deaths of acquaintances throughout the entire book, which truly gripped me. However, starting around chapter 100, the ending abruptly abruptly ends, with plot developments feeling rushed and lacking foreshadowing, drastically reducing the enjoyment and leaving the reader confused. It can only be described as a promising start followed by a disappointing finish. The epilogue slightly salvages the situation, and the "what if" scenarios are truly delightful.

    Curator note

    At this time, Earth welcomed an alien man with a gravity coefficient far exceeding its own. L51 is truly the most gravity-based character I've seen recently. His lust is a cold, viscous force field, but it forms a vacuum around the cold planet. In the universe, only Qin Shu is special, and nothing unpleasant should bother him. Qin Shu is truly a type of seme I really like—powerful, charming, cheerful, and carefree. He's a handsome and adorable older brother who's loved by everyone. He considers L51 his only true friend, so he has boundless tolerance for him. Even when L51 makes a big mistake, he simply lets everything return to its original course, showing great forgiveness. Until the end of the main story, I felt that the seme never reciprocated the romantic feelings. He simply allowed the uke's love to exist openly before him. For him, L51 was also the only special existence, but this feeling didn't necessarily have to be romantic love. The story was quite good up to the point of being deceived and the point of the mishap. The chapter about the mishap really pushed the emotions to their peak, which was very enjoyable to read. However, the plot gradually became chaotic later on. It felt like they were trying to find a reasonable path for the seme to reciprocate the romantic feelings but ultimately failed, and the ending felt rushed. The author excels at analyzing and loves writing about characters' inner thoughts, as seen in another book in the same column. The plot is passable, but the father-son relationship book was short and not very complex, with a well-controlled pace. This book feels like it should have been longer; the later chapters felt a bit empty and drawn out, but the ending came too abruptly, making the pacing strange. However, those who enjoy sunny, masculine characters might want to give it a try; the character development is really good.

19. 19 亡 My Late Husband 亡夫 The Sword That Acts on a Whim见机行事的剑Danmei (BL)83k WordsCompleted In the fifth year of the apocalypse, Bai Xuerou realizes one day that his long-dead ex seems to have come back.

    Curator note

    The first few chapters have a slightly melancholic feel, like a damp rainy night, but the writing style quickly becomes humorous as Bai Xuerou gradually accepts Ding Baoyu's existence as a "ghost," filling the chapters with a subtle sense of happiness. The protagonist (shou) knows how to love the other protagonist (gong). Halfway through, I thought: when Ding Baoyu learns that Luo Shen has misunderstood him as a ghost, his first reaction must be joy at "you actually overcame your fear and accepted me as a ghost," and that's exactly what happened. From the other protagonist's profession before the apocalypse and his personality before and after, we can glimpse his strong and handsome character. But in the shou's eyes, he's the princess he wants to protect, the Luo Shen flower he wants to cherish. After their reunion, aside from the other protagonist's naive misunderstandings, there are no heart-wrenching scenes of lovers missing each other. The shou understands and respects the other protagonist's choices, and both are emotionally stable. The plot is gentle and doesn't have many dramatic ups and downs, but it's very happy. The epilogue is a little melodramatic, but the main text is fine; it doesn't feel overly sentimental.

    Seeing the puppy-like seme (dominant male lead) makes me swoon, and the grown-up Su Meng all-in-one machine (a reference to a popular anime/manga series) is even better. The first 80 chapters are truly delicious. The young seme is full of youthful vigor, surrounded by the beautiful camaraderie of his fellow disciples and the intense love of his teachers. He often gets into trouble, but it's actually to confirm that his master's love is always with him, making him incredibly endearing to read. The next forty-odd chapters delve into the past life arc. I don't usually like reading long flashbacks, so it was a bit painful to read. In the early part of the past life seme, there's a sense of inhumanity, which is quite domineering when he occasionally shows it. He's affectionate and enjoys talking to people, but he's actually cold on the inside. Later, after experiencing the human world, he becomes conflicted and confused. Regarding the issue of the human-demon situation, from an objective perspective, you can feel the dilemma the author wants to express. However, the change in the seme's attitude and stance in the past and present lives, and his final handling of the situation, are somewhat hard to agree with. I don't think the parts depicted make the seme's feelings for humanity so strong that they lead to betrayal or even killing his own kind. The conflict isn't intense enough, which is a bit disappointing. Up to this point, it could still be rated five stars, but the last twenty chapters or so, the return to the present world, suddenly became very difficult to read. The transitions between perspectives and scenes were abrupt and not smooth, completely different from the earlier chapters. The two pairs of supporting characters were well-developed, and it felt like the focus on the supporting characters overshadowed the main characters (although, disregarding the scene-stealing factor, it was actually very well written). The male lead's character also felt somewhat distorted. After finishing and calmly reviewing the main plot, it was actually coherent, just somewhat fragmented by the interweaving of subplots. The right-hand man's emotions were extremely intense in both his past and present lives. He was a love-struck, jealous, and devoted husband, whose world consisted of 99.99% He Liangjing and 0.01% Everything else. He was cold and indifferent to others, but with the male lead, he was a self-pitying and insecure man. Although the protagonist in the present life eventually reciprocated the feelings, I personally felt it was more out of guilt and habit from regaining memories of his past life. Such a sudden and intense reaction felt unnatural, making the return of the feelings seem rather forced. Therefore, throughout the story, the protagonist leans more towards the plot, while the other character leans more towards the romance. The author is quite adept at writing intense and obsessive emotions; the romance itself is actually quite compelling. The part before the past life arc, where the protagonist strongly rejected the other's romantic advances, was actually quite enjoyable. Reading it gave me a sense of shock that there were still people in the world who respected their teachers and considered teacher-student relationships taboo! The plot can be rushed, but the details are not very refined, especially the fight scenes, which clearly show a lack of skill. Considering the anticlimactic ending, I'm ultimately giving it four stars.

    The story setting is quite interesting; I haven't read such a long novel in a long time. The protagonist is an unconscious, omnipotent creator/god, and it can be said that the entire plot is born for his "happiness." The first half mainly focuses on the mundane aspects of building a house, interspersed with a few supporting character stories, but overall it emphasizes the protagonist's game experience. It's quite enjoyable to see the protagonist's "great power" unfold through the perspective of the game characters. The second half leans towards an ensemble piece, showcasing the brilliance emanating from individuals with different stances in the face of the greater good of humanity. At this point, the protagonist becomes an observer, even a bystander; the actual protagonist of the second half is the human character in the game. The plot of the second half may indeed stem from the protagonist's subconscious hope, as the game characters say. While the plot is also engaging, there's an unavoidable feeling that the protagonist is being led by the nose. Personally, I preferred the lighthearted and fun house-building portion of the first half.

    Curator note

    This story is more suitable for those who appreciate strong main characters, with a stronger plot than romance. The plot is well-written, smoothly transitioning between continents with excellent pacing. However, the ending feels rather simplistic, as it feels like all the important issues are subtly addressed throughout the story without any clear elaboration at any particular point, although this doesn't significantly hinder understanding. The first half focuses on the protagonist's childhood, making him incredibly adorable—a wise and insightful child raised in love, both affectionate and principled. The other protagonist is a seemingly tsundere but actually very honest person. In the second half, the protagonist suddenly becomes 17, a true embodiment of strength and beauty. The other protagonist seems to have changed in the second half, becoming a possessive and somewhat chauvinistic older man, slightly different from his initial description. The romance leans towards mutual pampering, with the other protagonist falling in love first, but the protagonist reciprocates quickly. There aren't any major plot holes, but the transitions between these relationships feel somewhat abrupt and not entirely natural. While there is a revealing plot point, it only involves about 0.01% Angst, making it essentially a sweet and lighthearted story with little conflict. The career storyline is a wish-fulfillment story, while the romance storyline is a sweet one; in short, it's about two overpowered characters falling in love.

    A strong, beautiful top versus a silly, naive bottom; the romance has a classic strong-strong vibe, especially the sex scenes. The top, usually so beautiful and aloof, suddenly becomes aloof and submissive once on the boat. The top also has a bit of a sadistic tendency; one line says "love pain," which I thought was delicious, the next line says "inflict pain on others." I'd give the sex scenes a 10 out of 10—they were so cheesy I skimmed through the whole page, definitely a point to avoid. Fortunately, the top's career is heavily emphasized, and the political intrigue feels very Three Kingdoms-esque, with a mix of different dynasties. Reading it shows the author has a rich historical background. However, the story is relatively short, so each point can't be explained in detail, making it feel a bit like an expanded history textbook. The first half, with the top in drag, is more interesting, showcasing his beauty, cunning, and manipulative skills. The second half, after his true identity is revealed, focuses on pampering the bottom, which was quite confusing.

    It's a very healthy romantic relationship. It's natural that the puppy is healthy and sunny, but what's truly surprising is how well-rounded the uke is, given his conflicted sexual orientation and unhappy childhood. The puppy's career storyline is prominent in the early episodes, which is great, while the romantic subplot is relatively simple. A positive aspect is the long-held "straight man" persona. However, perhaps because both characters are so well-rounded, the relationship feels a bit flat. Also, the left/right choice is decided in a best-of-three format, without any "love for love" scenarios, so there's not much of a sense of conflict between the two. Some descriptions of the fandom are a bit too realistic. Even though it's a novel, I feel sorry for the fans; it feels a bit like torture. Finally, I absolutely love the puppy as the seme!

    It's rare to see a story with such a strong, devoted male lead from the protagonist's perspective these days (perhaps because this story was published relatively early, and the descriptions of their past relationships/pre-relationship issues are a bit dated; those concerned about purity might find it unpleasant to read, and the female characters are also portrayed in a rather old-fashioned and stereotypical way). The writing is very mature; the first half is very comfortable to read, avoiding both excessive padding and overly simplistic language. The plot and character development make it less important to worry about specific preferences or triggers. Towards the end, it gets a bit more stream-of-consciousness and artistic, with quite a few long passages, reminiscent of the writing style of other platforms I've come to expect. I particularly liked the extra chapters titled "Daily Life," which resolved some unresolved issues from the main story. Even those who don't usually read extra chapters should check them out.

    As the synopsis stated, it's definitely not suitable for anyone obsessed with certain characters, even those obsessed with the main character. I felt like I had masochistic tendencies while reading it, and I finished it feeling frustrated the whole time. The main story is roughly structured as follows: 30% tortures the male lead (chapters 1-26), 50% redeems the male lead (chapters 27-73), and 20% shows the male lead's transformation and the male lead's gradual acceptance (chapters 74-92), culminating in a happy ending. Reading the initial torture of the male lead, I thought, "How can this have a happy ending?" But then immediately after the torture, a massive redemption arc begins, and I immediately realized that it would be strange if it didn't have a happy ending. Therefore, I don't really accept that this large section is a "cruelty" or, more accurately, my ideal "cruelty." This 50% redemption felt like it was just to drag the male lead down from his moral high ground, which made me very uncomfortable. At the same time, it's very contradictory that the male lead, a person with high moral standards, should treat himself and others equally. Therefore, some of his actions and thoughts in the story deviate from his character. If you say he's blinded by love and hate, then I have nothing to say; in short, it just feels awkward. The protagonist (shou) is a superhuman, I have nothing to say (but if I had to say something, why wasn't his driver's license revoked?). What I found particularly jarring was the incomplete breakup of the seemingly perfect couple, dragging those around them into the mess. For example, the protagonist's friend helped him, only to be implicated by the shou, and the protagonist's response was: "I didn't expect this." What does that even mean? As a fan of the shou, I can't indulge him. Also, some plot points are repetitive: car accidents, fires, illness, misunderstandings, new lovers—the number of dramatic scenarios is too limited. And what's the big deal about a car accident? It's not like the protagonist hit the shou with his car; all truck drivers worldwide have dropped in skill level by 99%. Four stars for the author's writing style; the reading experience was very unpleasant. Fans of the shou who are looking for something to suffer with might want to check it out.

    This lovestruck bunny has melted everyone's hearts [hugs]. When I first came across this story, I was stunned by the thunderous synopsis, but after actually reading it, I found it to be quite well-written. It's entirely from the perspective of the dominant character, but while the dominant is a strong seme, the physical descriptions aren't too jarring. The seme's inner thoughts are richly described and incredibly cute. The main character is a typical bottom, relatively more of a background character. It feels like the author ran out of energy towards the end; the truth was revealed rather superficially, and the ending was rushed, so the plot is actually quite weak.

    A very brief short story, written as thoughts came to mind, with a rushed ending. If you're into this, you can add a star. It's a mindless read.

    So melodramatic, yet I love it. So far, Xiao Shen is the most fitting straight-male seme character I've ever read. It wasn't until two-thirds of the way through the story that the uke confessed, and he was completely oblivious and clueless until the last chapter. The uke is incredibly devoted, but the melodramatic charm of this setup lies in the awkwardness and tension caused by the recipient's reluctance to receive affection. The author is a master at analyzing characters' emotions and thoughts through their dialogue; every time the seme stabs the uke in the back/the uke confesses, it's so satisfying, I never tire of it. The seme is actually a sunny, positive, and kind-hearted person, but he can also be sharp-tongued towards the uke when hurt. It's like the person who knows you best knows how to hurt you the most. The uke is a gloomy, ghostly type, desperately in love with the seme, but until the very end, he can't have him. His low sense of worthyness leads to his late confession and his premature, desperate attempts to win him over, resulting in him missing out on his love. Every time there's a conflict or misunderstanding, he starts acting crazy and silly, which makes me want to laugh. In short, the various misunderstandings and dramatic conflicts caused by unforeseen circumstances are very satisfying to read. The jealousy surrounding the "king stealing his subject's wife" is particularly well-written and not rushed. The entire story revolves around the romance, with the plot primarily serving to advance the relationship and fuel the jealousy. While the truth can be roughly guessed from the later transitional chapters, the foreshadowing is well-placed and not abrupt, so the story itself isn't bland.
