   The romance gets full marks, the plot and writing are a bit weak, and the ending is a bit rushed, but overall, those who crave GB (Girls' Love) should definitely check it out. The Crown Prince is really adorable, and Ayu is incredibly clever and resourceful.

2. 52 论 On How to Raise a Blackened, Devoted Hound 论如何饲养一只黑化忠犬 Jiu Yi酒矣Romance183k WordsCompleted The road to pampering her husband after being reborn.

   Curator note

   It's a rare storyline in a matriarchal society where the plot is primarily female-centric, and the male lead isn't a useless, spoiled husband; although he's doting on the female lead, he's also intelligent and a capable helper.

   I read this a long time ago. Tianze Shiruo's stories are all set in gender-equal environments, featuring both powerful women and men, and emphasizing ability. This one seems to be about a female protagonist who infiltrates a junior cultivation class, which leads to recollections of her past.

   I love it! Both of them are so gentle yet strong. The male lead doesn't have that trashy, domineering aura of a marshal at all. He's so cute, shy, and his psychic tendencies change with the female lead's. Cyber ​​Bull is the best! It's not a forced relationship; it feels so natural.

   It's pretty good. It's rare to find a female-dominated story with a logical plot and an engaging setting. The male lead is adorable, and the female lead's imperial persona is believable. It's not just mindless pampering. It's primarily from the male lead's perspective, but there are also moments from the female lead's.

    The female lead has a strong presence, and the beginning was really engaging. Even in chaotic situations, she held her own. The ending dragged on a bit and might have been slightly weaker.

    It's alright. The XP (extracurricular activity) is well-written. The Master is very witty and cries a lot, and there are many different ways to portray him. It's even better than GB (presumably a popular online novel). However, it gets a bit cloying and repetitive towards the end. The plot becomes somewhat drawn out and weak, and the ending is rushed. Overall, it's still a sweet treat.

    Curator note

    The author is very good at writing stories. First of all, the story flows very smoothly. The female protagonist has a big personality and is very cheerful and confident. Although it is a wasteland world with natural disasters, the overall atmosphere is vibrant and positive. The social atmosphere is very good in an all-female society. The female protagonist's team forges ahead and receives a lot of praise and recognition, as well as the support of those around them. The story is told from a male perspective, focusing on mutual help and cooperation in society. Although it's a series of interconnected short stories similar to the infinite flow genre (not entirely, I don't really like infinite flow but this one was very enjoyable to read), it doesn't have the suffocating atmosphere of an infinite flow genre at all. Unlike traditional infinite flow genres where every step leads to despair, these stories lead to hope. In addition, since I am aware of some real-world gender inequalities, I wasn't particularly surprised. For women who haven't been truly angry about this, it might be an eye-opening experience. I recommend everyone watch it. What moved me most was the author's explanation of the original intention in the afterword: "There are already too many dead women in our literary works... We lack living, powerful female characters even more." "Why should a world full of intrigue and ugliness be worthy of the protagonist's salvation... The society of this world must be good enough for the protagonist to convince himself to save it." We are born with the power to create, and we must also grasp the power to die.
