1. 1 耀 His Dazzling Light 耀眼的他 Always Speaking一向言也Romance440k WordsOngoing Original title: The Ordinary Me, His Dazzling Self My next novel will be The Handsome Older Brother Next Door. Scheming plain girl X heaven's favorite The world is one enormous work of perfectly matched couples: the heroine gets the hero, and the supporting heroine pairs off with the supporting hero. Shen Funian knows perfectly well that she is neither the heroine nor the supporting heroine. She's just an extra, an NPC. Her family is poor, and her looks are ordi 16.5kFavorites15.2kClicks/ch23.9kGifts

   Curator note

   I'd give it three stars. The first thirty chapters on online romance are good—an ordinary girl pursuing a top-tier guy. The female lead's charm and cunning are off the charts, and the male lead doesn't come across as slick or creepy. The characters are quite realistic, but the parts about the male lead's family feel a bit overdone and awkward. The title and synopsis aren't very appealing, and the female lead isn't portrayed as a scheming villain; she's just a slightly desperate and somewhat dark-hearted girl. 🙏

2. 2 道 My Dao Companion Is Always Coercing Me 道侣总是胁迫我 Yu Feng寓风Danmei (BL)1.2M WordsCompleted Shang Yunduo transmigrates into a cultivation novel where the strong prey on the weak, in the role of a senior disciple NPC who dies taking a blade for the protagonist. To live in peace, he needs at least a little cultivation. In search of a single spirit herb, he sneaks into a small secret realm with mediocre spiritual energy that isn't mentioned anywhere in the book, only to run into Pei Jie, a crucial, unhinged late-game big boss.

   Five stars. BL, main character is the dominant one, good writing and plot, it brought back the addictive feeling I had when reading "X-Man Cultivation Chronicles," but it's even better and less drawn-out than "X-Man Cultivation Chronicles." It's rare to find such a long cultivation novel these days. Oh dear, I only realized this while playing games today—isn't Pei Jie just like Thanatos, a cold on the outside but warm on the inside, arrogant and fiery wife? I'm so sad! [Cat emoji]

3. 3 恶 The Evil Dragon Joined the Dragon-Slaying Squad 恶龙加入了讨龙小分队 Shan Haohao山好好Danmei (BL)71k WordsOngoing This will resume after I finish the hunter story next door... ...The word count got out of hand. But once I finish that, I'll get right back to this one. I've got an ending I really love planned (dumplings with vinegar). A three-year-old in emotional intelligence, a sharp-tongued, arrogant black dragon * a forgetful knight with a worrying streak: a fairy-tale-style adventure about a traveling party The day his adoptive father kicked him out for "doing nothing but eating all day and never t 345Favorites199Clicks/ch303Gifts

   Curator note

   This is a great Western fantasy novel with a mature setting and writing style. It's an ensemble piece, and every character is vividly portrayed. Even the friendship between the dragon and the goblin in the first volume is very touching. I haven't seen a book like this in a long time; it's one of a kind out of a hundred. Looking forward to the updates.

   Watching everything will only make me nutritionally balanced. Jpg This is a story primarily focused on the male lead, featuring a poor, stingy top and a gentle bottom.

The emotional transformation during the romance with the anime character is also realistically and movingly portrayed, and the ending is reasonable. Recommended.

5. 5 重 Reborn: I'm Really Not Digging for Coal 重生之真不挖煤 Radish Sang萝卜桑Danmei (BL)381k WordsCompleted A modern-day novel with a male pursuer, and the protagonist is reborn! As the son of a coal boss, Xu Hao hates being labeled a nouveau riche. Even though, to be fair, his family is nouveau riche. Xu Hao x Yan Ze A level-headed, upbeat, hard-working, early-to-bed, early-to-rise, old-school, upright, straight-laced media mogul’s son x a pessimistic, world-weary, bad-tempered young master who’s so irritable he has to put out his own fires Content warning: Pursuer fans may be left speechless, and 19.7kFavorites20.4kClicks/ch10.2kGifts

    3.5/10. The three male guests: the first seed, a childhood sweetheart who forcefully takes her away; the second, a sunny but philandering young man who didn't even make it to the table; and the third, a gentle daddy who did make it, but ultimately chose to let go due to the pain of his family background. Of the three, I felt the author poured the most effort and energy into the male protagonist, Wang Fei. In the early chapters (1-10), whether it was cutting his nails, eating leftovers, or secretly skipping class to punch a scoundrel eyeing the female lead, I was completely captivated. Later, their reunion was melodramatic, their entanglement and casual sex were filled with tension. In stark contrast, Lu and Zhou were a bit lacking, so I quickly skipped them. It's a mature romance, but I regret that it wasn't developed into a dramatic, Thai-style rollercoaster of emotions. Personally, I found it less entertaining than the first two books. However, I think the first ten chapters are the pinnacle of childhood sweetheart stories; the emotional resonance and tenderness they conveyed made even someone like me, who dislikes school romances and childhood sweetheart pairings, fall in love. I'd give it 10 stars; the author is amazing. These 10 chapters were what kept me going through chapters 10-25 without the male lead. They kept reminding me of Waa's song, "(His gentleness is like feathers in a landscape / His hands are like bows keeping things warm)." It's not quite that perfect, but it's really cute! // I think the male and female leads are separated entirely because of the character settings...

    Curator note

    Although short, the story is quite complete, but the details of the two characters' feelings and interactions aren't explored in detail. I usually enjoy stories with intense, tumultuous relationships between men and women, so I wasn't particularly drawn to this one. The male and female leads develop feelings for each other in their youth, but due to events during the female lead's trip to the Northwest, the male lead's family's criticism of her, and the fact that she had a "white moonlight" (a term of endearment for a past love interest) by her side, their relationship is doomed despite the male lead's persistent pursuit. Later, the female lead's "white moonlight" dies unexpectedly, and the two, now in their thirties, are reunited through arranged marriages arranged by their families. They engage in some subtle back-and-forth, with the male lead, both timid and uncontrollably pursuing her, while the female lead, though somewhat perplexing, is the one who initiates the relationship. Once they open up (and act on it), they get together and have a happy ending. The male lead's rough and tumble style is somewhat comical. The female lead's deceased husband is a very small character; in this story, he's practically just a figure in the setting.

Important: This story is entirely fictional and completely detached from reality. Although it borrows real-world place names, institution names (such as universities), and administrative titles (such as job positions), they are all fictional and made up, pure wishful thinking.

    Curator note

    The author's style is quite distinctive; reading this book evokes the feel of authors from the 2010 cohort who wrote about high-ranking officials. While set in the Beijing elite circle, it lacks the stiff, pretentious tone often found in contemporary Beijing-style Buddhist novels. The dialogue is excellent, with the banter between the female lead and the two main male characters being particularly engaging and vividly written. It's noticeable that the author has more energy in the urban settings than the school settings. This book isn't as good as the previous one, but it's still worth reading.

    Curator note

    Haha, I don't usually like modern novels, but this one is really good. While reading it, I rediscovered that irresistible feeling I used to have when reading novels. The plot might be a bit Mary Sue or a bit old-fashioned, but the author's humorous writing style and smooth prose perfectly avoid falling into the trap of cheesy literature. If you like stories about scumbags/prodigal sons turning over a new leaf, go for it. The female lead's brother, who is also the second male lead, has a well-developed character, and his sudden death has become a shadow in the hearts of readers. The male lead is actually just as insane. The beginning is the male lead's journey of getting his comeuppance, and the subtle, understated approach is well written. The later part is a whole BG version of being hopelessly infatuated, watching him calmly and rationally head down the path of perversion with no turning back. In 2026, it's an honor for every ordinary reader to have an author like this producing content.

    This is a female-master-male-disciple story, with the male lead possessing a sinister yet youthful charm. The way the female lead treats the male lead makes me feel like I could see her as a villain [laughing and crying with facepalm]. This book perfectly portrays the feeling of a younger man harboring both hatred and secretive lust for an older man's body. Although the plot is incredibly melodramatic, old-fashioned, and cheesy, it's undeniably captivating [laughing and crying with facepalm]. The novel is a perfect blend of the male lead's charm and youthful energy; even though the synopsis is full of cheesy elements, the writing still conveys a deep sense of affection. 🤗 Come check it out if you're a country bumpkin!
