   There was really no need to write about this book. It was number one on the bestseller list at the time, and I thought it would be great. I took a big bite with high expectations, only to immediately drop it and angrily post about it online. Then a bunch of people came and said it was only on the bestseller list because someone was willing to pay for it. Hmm, the "raising" genre is quite interesting. It's mainly Jinjiang's fault.

2. 2 你 Are There Any Normal People at Your Elite Academy? 你们贵族学院有正常人吗？ Lin Duoduo林多多Danmei (BL)1.7M WordsOngoing [This novel will enter VIP status on Friday, July 19. Thank you for your support ovo] [Due to health reasons, updates won’t be daily. I’ll do my best to post 20,000 words a week.] The protagonist transmigrates into a novel he was reading before bed. The story has all the ingredients of a proper bedtime read: a beloved-by-everyone lead, *P, and love rivals competing for the same man. The story is roughly about an impoverished protagonist who gets into an elite academy. Unable to stand the way st 202.1kFavorites247.9kClicks/ch759.2kGifts

   I was following this story closely, and it was so satisfying! My subscription rate was around 50%, and I think I don't like motorcycles. I heard there are other random male leads later on? The thought of so many male leads ending up with only motorcycle characters makes me a little nervous. Honestly, maybe I should just accept them all. I always feel like the male lead is a bit arrogant, maybe he's just being modest, but I arrogantly think he's too pretentious. Sorry.

3. 3 被 After Being Abandoned by the Sect Leader 被首座抛弃之后 Zhang Yuanqi张源起Danmei (BL)788k WordsOngoing [Updating again, but only occasionally for now. Updates at 9 p.m. =3= I’ll write after work, so if there’s nothing by nine, don’t wait up, I’ll make it up later =3=] Lin Qingzhu was famous throughout the cultivation world as a laughingstock. He began cultivating at six, then spent ten years sweeping floors at the Qingshan Sect without achieving a thing. In the end, he latched onto the youngest young master of the Northern Mountain Lin family, offered himself to the man, and soared to success o 111.9kFavorites108.5kClicks/ch259.3kGifts

   I've read every single one of this author's books, starting with "Endangered Animals," and I've loved this author deeply. I also love this one, but I don't quite like the male lead's character, so I dropped it. My subscription rate is currently around 80%, and I'm afraid to continue reading because I'm worried the other character will be forced into love by the male lead again. Honestly, is the male lead a bit too arrogant? Anyway, I really enjoy the story of the other character being the only one who shines in this one.

   This is a bit messy, but I think it's my own fault. Maybe I'm not very bright; I always feel like what I wrote is disorganized, and then I forget about it. It's been a long time since I last looked at it.

5. 5 穿 Transmigrated into a Superpower Academy, Already Max Level from the Apocalypse 穿越异能学院，但末日满级大佬 Shu Qin书芹Danmei (BL)1.1M WordsOngoing Pre-release: "[ABO] Never Underestimate the Young Master!!!". Blurb at the very end. [Blurb] In the fourth year of Blue Star's apocalypse, Gu Huai and a vicious space-type magical beast killed each other. The Civilization Continuation System came to him and said that if he was willing to transmigrate into a world where people had supernatural abilities and stop that world from being destroyed, he could be reborn there. As his golden finger, it offered him this: As l 35.6kFavorites30.5kClicks/ch88.6kGifts

   I think I only read the beginning of this and then stopped. I don't really like the seme (dominant partner) type. The writing style seems pretty average, rather bland? Or maybe it just doesn't quite hit the mark with the uke (sweetheart/stomper) aspect. I don't like the uke because I don't really enjoy this kind of romance. And the uke's cheat-like abilities didn't feel very satisfying.

6. 6 仙 The Invisible Person of the Immortal Sect Is Forced to Become Everyone’s Favorite 仙门透明人被迫万人迷 Week Ten星期十Danmei (BL)604k WordsOngoing [Volume Two: End] Sang Ling was invisible at his sect. His talent was mediocre, his features forgettable, and nobody could remember his name. His fellow disciples used him like a handy tool: watering spirit fields, copying scriptures, taking punishments for others, even being shoved out to block demon beasts. No one would spare him a second glance. Only after he accidentally ate a spirit herb did he realize he was cannon fodder in a harem novel. The protagonist was a darling of the immortal se 46.6kFavorites34.6kClicks/ch141.4kGifts

   I read a bit of this one, and I don't know if it's because I'm too old to appreciate this kind of adorable, naive girl type anymore. I feel like I'm having a split personality, praising her cuteness while simultaneously thinking she's stupid. The uke is still very cute, though sometimes it feels like my left and right brains are fighting each other? It's been too long since I've read anything like this. It's like the uke sometimes suddenly becomes very clear-headed, as if he's manipulating everyone. But as soon as he interacts with the seme (tops), he seems to lose his mind. But the uke is still very cute; I'll read it again when I've lost my mind.
