   Curator note

   The female lead's lack of charm, relying on the affection of a powerful male character to imbue her with allure, is a trope I dislike. I can accept a weak or even foolish female lead, but I cannot accept one who is both weak and foolish, completely manipulated.

   I used to dislike stories about female canaries getting emotional, and then I'd read the chapter titles and summaries and think the plot was formulaic, so I didn't enjoy them.

   The writing is mediocre, repetitive, and follows a formulaic opening; I don't like stories where the female lead heals the male lead.

Because at first, he was just someone Zhou Hao made up to avoid all kinds of trouble. By the time the news reached Lin Jinshu, she was already about to marry this boyfriend. Lin Jinshu’s hand tightened slightly around her cup, her gaze darkening. “When did this happen?” Her friend said, “Next month, I think. I hear they’re very much in love.” Lin Jinshu said nothing. Her friend continued with a sigh, “Back in school, every 9.2kFavorites9.2kClicks/ch8.8kGifts

   The plot development is a bit boring. The female lead insists on having a boyfriend even after her relationship with the male supporting character has been exposed, which I find too far-fetched.

5. 5 蜜 Sweet as Honey 蜜里调油 Tang Mian棠眠Romance508k WordsCompleted You Miao believed Xi Mu's nonsense. She believed him when he said he couldn't let her go because she never treated him warmly and was always running away. She believed his whole spiel: "A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and a secret lover is not as good as someone you can't have." Reborn for another life, she obediently became the woman he could have, did everything according to his preferences, and hoped that one day he would grow tired of her a 22.3kFavorites104.4kClicks/ch10.6kGifts

   Curator note

   The writing is seriously padded; it's clearly aimed at a two-person comedy show. All that talk about family, brother, not being related by blood, and so on—who wants to read that? The emotional development between the male and female leads is weak, lacking depth, and utterly boring.

By then, she had earned an amount she could never have imagined at eighteen and was preparing to expand her business even further. She sat across from Peter, drinking coffee. Peter worked for LC Company in the city and, like most foreign employees, lived at the hotel. He was a little disappointed becaus 52.7kFavorites56.7kClicks/ch75.8kGifts

   Curator note

   The early episodes were fantastic, but the later episodes felt weak. For example, when the female lead reunited with the male lead, he had already broken up with her. Why was she still so concerned? Why didn't she ask? This didn't quite fit the female lead's established character. The misunderstandings about her girlfriend were also rather cheesy. The early episodes were really delicious, making the later episodes unwatchable. The later episodes focused heavily on the female lead's perspective; I really wanted to see the male lead's perspective.

7. 7 撒 An Eastern Beauty on Satan's Island 撒旦岛上的东方美人 Wang Huansheng忘还生Romance523k WordsCompleted Amoris spent the entire evening thinking about the black-haired, pale-skinned woman at the execution ground. The priest said she was a prisoner from the East. Her only accomplice was executed in the square. The gunshots startled a flock of gulls searching for food, sending them flying as her black hair whipped in the wind. The blazing sun over the island could not melt the quiet ice in her eyes. Angels in the chapel played a song that made the heart skip a beat. At first, Zhuang Chunyue only 18.1kFavorites21kClicks/ch10.2kGifts

   It's too drawn out and lacks sexual tension. After the male lead assaults the female lead, he pretends to resist his emotions. What's with that? The female lead is becoming less and less like a prisoner, and then there's this ghost thing—it's so weird.

    It's very sweet, but I couldn't get into the ensemble cast. I wasn't interested in the parents' love story, which made the plot feel disjointed. The main characters are a strong, dog-like female lead and a gentle, intelligent male lead, but there are quite a few similar tropes. I don't know why the father abandoned them—that big mystery remains unsolved. A few years ago, I would have loved reading this, but now I just want to read something focused on the main couple for entertainment.

    The female lead doesn't seem like a rich heiress; she's more like a genuinely poor, innocent girl. The premise is good, and it's not unpleasant to watch, just tiring. There aren't any major plot holes. The main problem is that it's verbose.

    Curator note

    The pacing was bad, the suspense was built up for too long, and it was too tiring to watch, so I had to search for spoilers. The male lead's constant advances over a plate of vinegar-filled dumplings were really cheesy, and the female lead seemed like a fake (maybe there's a psychological reason for this). The pacing was dragging, basically just the male lead chasing after the female lead. It's okay to read as a lighthearted romance novel, but I actually wanted to see the older brother appear, but he never did.

    Curator note

    The author's inability to handle the distorted and twisted emotions makes the writing completely unappealing. There are so many unanswered questions. The female lead's inability to recognize the true nature of the two characters is truly foolish. She claims to have feelings for someone, yet her breakup is so decisive. Why did the brother fall for the sister? It's unclear. The younger brother tries to portray a grotesque, yet morbid affection isn't felt. Firstly, morbidity implies a painful, addictive struggle related to this, which I didn't experience. It felt like eating a wax cake.

    It's quite boring. The protagonist's family background is too traditional, and he's not good enough for the female lead. He deliberately breaks up with her for the male lead's sake, but they can't let go and are just playing hard to get. If you're bored, you can try watching it again. Also, the female lead's career development is quite disjointed. As it's a relatively niche and private field, I didn't find it very well done; she doesn't seem very professional. Aside from her appearance, her personality is very unattractive.

The "shared life and death" bond is indeed a satisfying read, but it feels rather dull and I wasn't really captivated by the female lead's charm.

    I never expected my first book would be dedicated to T-Da. I really like Neon Star, but I didn't expect the early story to be like this. He's depraved, cowardly, tramples on girls' sincerity, and even plays with others' feelings. But because he didn't actually penetrate, he's still a pure young man. Don't love men too much. Does this kind of man deserve redemption? I always thought there was some hidden reason why the male lead became like this, but it turns out it was because he accidentally harmed his own brother. Hmm, the punishment for doing wrong is to willingly fall into depravity. It's really ridiculous. The female lead isn't evil enough, to be honest. Otherwise, if they both had fallen into this state, it probably would have been a good read.
