Dropped Midway Collection 半途而废合集

1. 1 我 I Became Sworn Brothers with My Archenemy 我与宿敌称兄道弟 Watermelon Stir-Fried with Meat西瓜炒肉Danmei (BL)251k WordsOngoing Luo Fuyan has to play the great villain, drive the plot forward, and meet a grim end after the righteous defeat him. System: "Your sworn enemy, your archenemy who can't stand you, the sword cultivator He Guiyun, is also a tasker. You can work with him." "Are you sure?" "I'm sure!" Luo Fuyan believed it. With a prophecy and an ally, playing the villain would be a piece of cake. Luo Fuyan deliberately pushed the protagonist into a trap where he'd find an opportunity. Then, looking at He Guiyu 50.1kFavorites19.2kClicks/ch99.3kGifts

   I started getting bored from Chapter 14 onwards. I bought over twenty chapters because I was still obsessed with the synopsis. The premise of "we're moved but don't realize it, we have our own strategy, I have my own pace," etc., Shouldn't be a really appealing concept? Why is it written so poorly that it leaves the reader completely unmoved?! The pacing is also a bit slow, feeling dragged out and not very smooth to read. The overall experience isn't great. While the emotional storyline hasn't developed much yet, it feels too flat so far, with no sign of improvement. The illustrations are quite nice, though. The author seems to have some taste; I even borrowed some of the avatars. 🤔 I really like the copywriting and I'm still a bit hesitant. Maybe I'll wait until it's fully released before taking another look. 🤔

Please show it some love~ - Yun Baoyan, a second-generation immortal, suffered a cultivation mishap and slept with his senior brother, who had never gotten along with him. Young Master Yun was spoiled and domineering, with a dazzling smile. Just one pretty face was enough to make all the young disciples of the immortal sect dance in the palm of his hand.

   The writing is quite smooth, and some parts are quite funny... But this seme is so strange, he's really a bit scary to me. He's so engrossed in his own world of consciousness, I'm afraid he'll suddenly explode. He gives off a kind of toxic, honest guy vibe [facepalm and laughing emoji]. (And if I had to say, the uke wasn't even fully conscious when they first met, and he just did *that* to the uke, then didn't say anything and just unilaterally expressed his hatred for the sea and sky.) Although the "hatred for the sea and sky" style of forceful taking is really satisfying, that's what I came for, but this seme is really a bit low-brow. His inferiority complex is too weird. Is it really okay to be forced into marriage by such a strange seme...?

3. 3 我 I am the Villainous Prime Minister’s Older Brother [Transmigrated into a Book] 我是奸相他哥[穿书] A Piece of Lotus Root一节藕Danmei (BL)598k WordsCompleted [Main story complete. Bonus chapters are currently updating every other day. Lian Cheng transmigrated into a book, becoming a useless young master despised by every one of its positive characters. The original owner had no skills to speak of, nor any scholarly honors. All he did was roam the streets and alleys, tease cats and dogs, visit brothels, and listen to storytellers. He had no preference for men or women. He wasn’t the only one. Apart from Lian Xiush 88.7kFavorites84.6kClicks/ch72.5kGifts

   Curator note

   The writing style imitates Ming and Qing dynasty vernacular novels, and Shen He is completely oblivious to the suggestive content. The sixth brother is very lewd and knows how to reward himself. When the author and the sixth brother get into character, they both seem oblivious to the world around them. It just so happens that this period coincided with the author's personality outburst, but after the outburst ended, the protagonist felt too much of an ostrich. The sixth brother's ability to play dumb even in this state is quite a talent. The main plot and romance developed too slowly, especially the main plot, which I could predict in advance, making me lose interest in continuing to read.

4. 4 魔 The Demon Venerable Can't Stop Thinking About Him 魔尊他念念不忘 Mo Xike墨西柯Danmei (BL)496k WordsCompleted 1. After transmigrating into a book, Chi Muyao was once forced to share a “black room” with the great villain, Xi Huai. Xi Huai was shackled and his spiritual power sealed. Their situation was dire. Chi Muyao had to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage to break the cave’s seal, and only then could they both be rescued. But… he was a male cultivator from the Hehuan Sect! No way was he supposed to cultivate by using the great villain, right? Readers of the book all knew that the cannon- 517.8kFavorites1.1MClicks/ch408.2kGifts

   The premise was appealing, but the writing was mediocre, getting increasingly bland towards the end. I'm exhausted... Ugh! Why?! Such a wonderful premise! Even if JJ (the protagonist) could only consume some exhaust fumes and stream-of-consciousness content, at least there would be some flavor. Why am I just given boiled vegetables?! Not even a drop of salt?! 😭😭😭

5. 5 被 After Being Exiled to My Nemesis's Fief 被流放到宿敌的封地后 Gold Hairpin钗钏金Danmei (BL)200k WordsCompleted Zhu Qinghou was spoiled and arrogant, acting like he owned the world and throwing his family's weight around. When the Zhu family fell from power, the entire clan was exiled. As luck would have it, they were sent to the fief of Prince Su. Everyone knew that Prince Su had lost his sight because of Zhu Qinghou, and hated him to the bone. Surely Zhu Qinghou would be dead at Prince Su's hands within three days. Just as expected, that very night, the prisoner cart holding Zhu Qinghou was delivered 1.9kFavorites1.1kClicks/ch492Gifts

   I must say, the writing is quite good and comfortable to read. However, perhaps it was the writing style that gave me some unrealistic expectations. Everything went too smoothly. I came for the synopsis, hoping for a tale of love and hate, but the male lead was too devoted. Even though he knew it was a misunderstanding, he forgave the other too easily, making him seem unreal, like a machine-made lover for the other... This feeling of eating silicone lingered in my mind. The male lead's artificiality diminished the realism of their relationship... I stopped at the tenth chapter from the end...

6. 6 冲 Charge, Your Highness! 冲啊，太子殿下 The Sea King's Zither from Afar遥的海王琴Danmei (BL)1.3M WordsCompleted When He Xizhao first became the disgraced crown prince's study companion, everyone rejoiced at his misfortune, openly and secretly mocking him for boarding a ship with a hole in its hull. Sure enough, the fallen crown prince languished, just as expected. He was uneducated and useless, leaving everyone shaking their heads and sighing. The study companions of the other princes all waited to see He Xizhao make a fool of himself. But although the fallen crown prince did all sorts of outrageous thing 42.1kFavorites97.4kClicks/ch72.9kGifts

   It's actually quite well-written. I don't mean to say the career storyline is bad, but I have a high demand for romance. Without enough sweet moments between the main characters, I'll just wither away. I'll probably come back to read it again once I get tired of the romance.

7. 7 炮 Cannon Fodder, But Big Brother is the Future Emperor 炮灰，但大哥是未来皇帝 Admiring Xuandu仰玩玄度Danmei (BL)524k WordsCompleted [A fearless, black-hearted, straightforward little lemon-dog who’s only afraid of his big brother × a proper, abstinent, powerful court official with a dark, fatherly streak] *Everyone would later know that Young Master Yan was the treasured jewel held between the new emperor’s fangs, raised by his own hand and protected for life.

   The pace is too slow... It feels like a forced, half-hearted effort, almost like water... The windowpane is as thin as a translucent slice of bread from the Great Depression; they just won't poke at it, they just won't poke at it. All the thrills are suppressed, all the joy is extinguished, and the pleasure I should have had is ruined.

8. 8 错 Mistaking the Villainous Immortal Venerable for the One to Save 错把反派仙尊当成拯救对象 Chen Sensen陈森森Danmei (BL)527k WordsCompleted [Main story complete, sweet bonus chapters updating soon!] I transmigrated into a melodramatic novel, and my mission was to save the protagonist who was the romantic lead. I found the miserable little protagonist and offered to take care of him. The brat glared at me fiercely. "What are your intentions?" I solemnly made up a story. "Actually, you saved my life in my previous life. I'm here to repay you in this one." He actually believed me. What a gullible kid.

   The part about the protagonist's first stirrings of love completely blew me away. How could they write him like Jiahao (a character from a popular Chinese novel) so badly? I'm truly speechless.

9. 9 反 How a Villain Should Properly Claim the Protagonist 反派如何正确占有主角 Wake Up, Wake Up醒醒好Danmei (BL)368k WordsCompleted Blurb Ying Xin transmigrates into a book as the Witch Clan's young lord, a villain who appears for part of the story and the final villain as well: the protagonist's senior disciple. One person, two roles. That lousy System sure knows how to cut costs. As a villain who appears for part of the story, his mission is to abduct and humiliate the protagonist, Xie Lianzhu, bringing the favored child of heaven down into the mud, becoming a lifelong shadow before finally dying by his sword.

   The synopsis was initially appealing, but after being drawn in, I felt the pacing was poor and the descriptions of inner thoughts were disorganized. Once I entered the paid chapters, this bizarre pacing completely ruined all the exciting parts... My current feeling is that I'm still observing... (I can't let go of this synopsis!)

The young and beautiful Tan Sui is immediately assigned a wildly dramatic mission: Get revenge for a rich, beau 2.9kFavorites2kClicks/ch14.8kGifts

    It's actually quite sweet... The protagonist is cute, but too obedient, almost childlike in some ways. He doesn't have the same personality as the protagonists in the author's previous works, and he's not as appealing to me [laughing and crying with face covered]. Also, some issues from the author's previous works continue in this one... Combined with the protagonist's lack of engaging writing, these recurring problems become impossible to ignore, constantly tormenting me [laughing and crying with face covered].

I Know I Was Wrong!", is at the very bottom. Please take a look!!! Blurb: Ji Suxing suddenly awakens at the age of eighteen. He discovers that he's a villainous cannon fodder in a revenge novel, an impostor with no royal blood, and that the male lead is his elder crown prince brother, Ji Linque, who raised him.

    I've read about 70% of it, thinking I'd at least get a full subscription... There's this very noticeable cannon fodder character who fights and grabs the protagonist, then gets himself killed, only to have the protagonist snatched away right before his eyes – that's hilarious (not meant negatively). The romance is pretty straightforward; the main couple's relationship is quite intense. I don't dislike side couples, but their stories are clearly frustrating and not very engaging. The biggest reason I dropped it was because the political intrigue really didn't resonate with me; it was so frustrating. Once the main couple's relationship seemed stable enough, I quit.

Blurb at the very end. ★Blurb for this story↓ Chu Jiubian transmigrated into a book, body and all. He fell from the sky and landed in the arms of the great villain, the Regent. Chu Jiubian got a good look at the man holding him. What a handsome guy. He couldn’t resist giving his pecs a couple of strokes. The three-year-old emperor pointed at him in delight. “Wow, a divine big brother!” Huh? Who said that? 64.7kFavorites69.3kClicks/ch71.2kGifts

    The premise is interesting, which is why I tolerated the prince, a supporting character with a strong presence. But as the protagonist's personality changes drastically later on, it's really hard to bear [loading]. He cries a lot, and although I know there's a reason for his tears, for me, the pain level isn't high enough. It's not angsty, not cruel, and not satisfying enough. The other protagonist is also becoming more and more of a background character. Don't be like that! Oh, the part about the fusion of the protagonist's past and present life memories didn't resonate with me either, even though I was really looking forward to it!! I abandoned the story because the whole thing felt like a beautiful balloon, but it was leaking air and had deflated in part.
