   Completed, BL (Boys' Love) with the main character being the bottom. A healthy relationship, very relaxing, can be enjoyed as a teething snack.

2. 2 伪 Those Years I Spent Pretending to Be a Big Shot 伪装大佬那些年 Wei Chaojin魏朝瑾No CP1.3M WordsCompleted Buyehou, a mysterious big shot. With black hair, phoenix eyes, and a monocle, he habitually wore a long robe. He was quiet and gentle, yet distant. In a remote place, he ran a small teahouse where every single item was priceless. He received travelers who came and went. Some respected him, some hated him, some loved him, and some feared him... Yet no one could ever truly understand him. He seemed invulnerable, forever serene and unruffled. Yet every so often, you could catch a glimpse of some f 69.6kFavorites104.3kClicks/ch168.7kGifts

   Completed, male lead has no romantic partner. How do living beings withstand the passage of time? The long story of living beings... *Sobs*. A good story with laughter and tears, and a logically coherent narrative; it truly leaves one with a slight sense of melancholy after reading it.

   Second viewing, original male lead with no romantic partner. The logic is smooth, and the real and fake swordplay is satisfying! It's exactly what I wanted. Most importantly, the player truly has their own strengths, the plot development is very reasonable, and the relationships between characters are excellent – it's incredibly enjoyable! Thumbs up!

4. 4 原 [Genshin Impact] So Teyvat Is a Game World After All [原神]原来提瓦特是游戏世界 Careful Sparrow小心麻雀No CP989k WordsCompleted [The bonus story has a 70% subscription rate.] The free bonus story is Bonus Story 2 in my collection! I've finished the Teyvat arc! Ling Ji is an ordinary person from Liyue with an ordinary job. Apart from being someone who transmigrated, there's nothing special about him. In fact, Ling Ji has always thought that being someone who transmigrated was useless. He has no Vision that lets him wield elemental power, nor any special abilities. In short, even after eighteen years in Teyvat, he's still 23.2kFavorites42.5kClicks/ch65.5kGifts

   Completed, original characters It's a story featuring two original characters in the main plot, a very sweet brotherly bond, the kind where they complement each other perfectly. The relationship between Fox and Little Bear feels so real, and the characters are very well-developed and enjoyable. Oh, and there are also free side stories, though they have a bit of a romantic pairing element.

5. 5 救 Savior? Qin Shi Huang! 救世主？秦始皇！ Clear Forest, Pillow by the Stream清林枕流No CP499k WordsCompleted Ying Zheng was accidentally bound to a Savior System and sent to various chaotic eras to save the world. System mission: Please save all the people of the realm, our kind and gentle Savior Host. Ying Zheng pointed at himself. “…Me?” [Jixia Academy] He wasn’t the academy’s protector. He was the one who carried the academy away. This was a man who could make the feudal lords tremble with a single show of anger, and bring peace to the realm simply by staying at home.

   Completed, no romantic pairing for the First Emperor. It's a thrilling read, I'm sure of it! A series of excellent short stories, I give a shout-out to the First Emperor!

6. 6 织 (Touken Ranbu) Oda Nobunaga Chooses to Shatter His Sword （刀剑乱舞）织田信长选择碎刀 Fragments of a Cornflower矢车菊的断章Romance106k WordsCompleted Oda Nobunaga, female, had just thrown an unexpected bonfire party at Honnoji Temple. One second earlier, Gaia had tricked, cajoled (strike that), and persuaded Oda Nobunaga to sign a contract and become a Heroic Spirit. The next second, Gaia accidentally slipped and dropped the Demon King of the Sixth Day into a Honmaru through a space-time rift. Facing all the swords in the Honmaru, which she had once passed around, honed, and branded, the black-haired, red-eyed girl stood at the top of a nat 18.8kFavorites120.8kClicks/ch1.3kGifts

   Curator note

   Second viewing, Touken Ranbu x Fate/Oda Nobunaga collaboration, short story. It's a very concise and straightforward little story. Although some of the descriptions seem a bit naive now, it makes perfect sense considering that it was written by the author around 2016.

7. 7 我 I'm Locked in a Relationship with Myself 我和我自己锁了 djqzNo CP456k WordsOngoing One day, Gray woke up and discovered he had transmigrated into the world of a game. He had become both the original story's villain, already on the path to destroying the world, and the sequel's villain, who was about to embark on that same path. Their personalities were different, and their life experiences varied greatly, but they all harbored an irrepressible hatred of the world. If Gray rashly gave up on destroying the world, the system would consider him out of character and erase him. Y 15.9kFavorites34kClicks/ch53kGifts

   In my lifetime, the male lead will have no romantic partner. The world is very realistically created, and the characters are all well-developed. Narcissus is full of tension, and sticking to the core of the character is the best!

   Curator note

   Completed, BL (Boys' Love) with the main character being the bottom. Ugh, although it's really erotic and alluring, it's a story that's terrifying upon closer inspection, with a strangely balanced but not entirely healthy emotional narrative. From Jingyuan's perspective, it's just a completely inexplicable horror story. *Sigh*

   Ongoing series, male lead has no romantic partner. It's incredibly sincere and nuanced; every world feels real and tangible. It's exceptionally well done. The Cowboy Story is truly, truly excellent. Highly recommended!

    Curator note

    In my lifetime, the male lead will have no romantic partner. As the title suggests, the Doctor and Jingyuan swap worlds, and the political ecology of the two different worldviews is very realistic. It's a light-hearted story with excellent descriptions. Witness the amazing command skills of our Terran Doctor!
