   This is so good! It's a rare novel where the romance and the infrastructure-building aspects are both excellent. Everyone should read it!!! Those who love controlled characters and infrastructure-building games should definitely check it out.

   It's a very funny and interesting story, but I didn't finish it. The beginning might be a bit boring, but it gets better after about ten chapters when it becomes a paid chapter. However, the plot might be a bit repetitive. I stopped reading after about 80% of it.

3. 3 我 My Ideal Town: Infinite 我的理想小镇[无限] Blue Wings青色羽翼Danmei (BL)1.4M WordsCompleted Complete Game power-leveling service worker Mu Sichen gets scammed and transmigrates into a full-dive game. The game is set in a post-catastrophe world, where indescribable monsters roam everywhere. They have divided the world into different towns, and human survivors are scattered throughout them, struggling to stay alive. Only those who worship the monsters and abandon their reason can survive. The System tells him: “Here, take this pickaxe and work hard to build the ideal town of your own, gi 244.7kFavorites272.2kClicks/ch720.4kGifts

   Curator note

   It's a Cthulhu-themed adventure novel, and it's quite good. I'm not sure if it's popular, but I included it because it's one of the few ongoing series I've been following. It's a very good book with a great plot and a good romance. I mainly liked the plot; it's about a protagonist who is chosen and starts from the first dungeon (Cthulhu-themed), gradually expanding his territory. It feels like exploring a map in an online game, but with the protagonist being the only one there, and everyone else being easy targets. It's very engaging.

   Curator note

   A well-written novel about a spoiled, beloved family, though the protagonist's initial age is a bit young (starting from a few years old). There's a period in the middle where he has a major power spike, seemingly skipping eight or nine years (he cultivates for eight or nine years). I personally love this kind of setting. The family descriptions are very engaging; it's definitely a very interesting book.

The only problem was that he had been dead for a very long time: ten thousand years. The senior fellow disciple who had grown up with him and struggled alongside him to reach the Golden Core stage had transformed into the very top of the cultivation world's food chain. Needless to say, his senior brother had grown old and become an honored ancestor revered by everyone. That also meant he was rich. When they were young, they ran around trying to get their 203.2kFavorites365.5kClicks/ch109.4kGifts

   A sweet bedtime story. It's not exactly amazing, but it's definitely sweet, satisfying, and enjoyable. An older man finds his junior brother who was lost for tens of thousands of years. The junior brother was also a peerless genius before his return, and after his return, he rapidly grows under the protection of the number one figure in the cultivation world (the strongest one in the story). It's all sweet.

   Curator note

   This is a story about a strong-willed protagonist who is controlled by his love interest. The protagonist is the type who appears aloof on the surface but is actually gentle. He and the other protagonist are childhood friends (or you could say they are childhood sweethearts who suddenly appeared). The main plot revolves around the protagonist's past life being a mess of fighting for family fortune. In this life, he unintentionally becomes a lazy bum, but inexplicably, the business he previously didn't care about grows into a huge success. The business aspect is reminiscent of a reincarnated tycoon who parachutes in and bullies a newbie in a village (it's quite satisfying).

Helping a ghost fulfill its dying wish always comes with a reward. But until the task is done, nobody knows whether that reward will be merit or retribution. Whenever Lian Xi helps a ghost, the moment the task is over, the little ghost begins to glow. A golden glow means merit, while a red glow means retribution.

   Personally, I think it's alright. I read it back when the infinite flow genre was popular. It's not bad as a light read, and it's also suitable for those who are controlled by others. The world-building is good and the plot is okay. Overall, it's above average.

    I don't usually follow the entertainment industry, but this one is different (honey, let me explain). It's purely a comedy. The protagonist's main job is a veterinarian (he describes himself as being able to deliver piglets). The beginning has a stock-picking vibe, but it stops once things settle down. It's funny and entertaining. You know I'm not a fan of comedy (flips fingers). There are a few male supporting characters who don't say a word, but the dog-training part is also very good (I have normal tastes, you have to believe me).

    Curator note

    If I told you, "Princess, please watch this," would you watch it? Everyone should! I'd never read this type of book before, but after reading this one, I immediately fell in love. Who understands the sadness of having your first book in a fandom be the absolute best? You can't even find a substitute! The plot is about the game the protagonist plays, which is actually another side of this world. Starting with the first alias, he gradually earns the trust of the world for these aliases and the trust of the school he founded (the more people believe the aliases and the protagonist are real, the more points the protagonist gets). This is used to acquire more aliases. There's a huge mix of romantic pairings; you can ship whatever you want. In the end, the protagonist becomes a god. It's an episodic story, with daily life interspersed between each episode. Actually, it's pretty much a no-romance story. If there is any romance, it's Narcissus (another protagonist) and the romance between the two aliases in the last side story.

The plot follows the protagonist as he starts as a young master, gradually builds his empire, and eventually becomes emperor. It's so good, I've read it three times.

    This is a really good Detective Conan fanfic. Even those who haven't read the original manga can enjoy it. The plot is truly mind-bending; you need to use your intelligence to read it, but you can also skip it (because I don't). The author explains things step by step, revealing the truth gradually, which is fantastic. All the characters are quite intelligent. The pairing is Gin.

The top is someone the bottom picked up from two different people. In the end, the top also went into the entertainment industry (sigh). The romance is pretty good. I watched it because of the bottom's character. If you're interested, you can check it out.

    The infrastructure-building aspect is watchable; it mainly tells the story of building a fishpond, raising fish to sell for money, upgrading the system, and continuing to raise fish. There's almost no romance; the male lead isn't the cat on the cover! He's a siren. Personally, I felt it was a bit inexplicable that the two fell in love (nods). However, he's very successful in his career, making it very enjoyable to watch without a romantic pairing.

    A story of a powerful, younger CEO (bottom) and a younger, wolf-like seme (top). The protagonist adopts the seme at the beginning, and the two eventually fall in love. It's really good. What impressed me most was that the bottom was afraid to love, and the seme was afraid to pursue. The bottom had a previous lover, in which he was the top, but the other person passed away due to illness. My previous review of this book was that the bottom and his previous lover were the protagonists of another book, and this one is just another possibility. It might be a trigger for some, but for me, it really resonated with me. If you don't mind, you can read it; it's really good. Sometimes it's not that I don't love anymore, it's just that you also want to see me move on.

    In short, the best part is the fake death. Those who love melodramatic plots can start reading from the fake death scene without affecting the story. It's about a protagonist who transmigrates into a body of a villain and plays an unlikable character, but through his own efforts, he redeems himself. Then, due to plot requirements, he fakes his death, changing everyone's perception of his original character. But the best part is still the fake death scene (melodrama lovers rejoice!). The seme is a seemingly innocent but actually cunning senior disciple (as mentioned, having a master on JJ is a high-risk profession).

It's a sweet story about childhood sweethearts who are also modern, and they have other good friends—I think it's a group of four. The two of them get along well internally, and the childhood sweetheart is the best! (Even if I die, I'll still say that a child who falls from the sky can't beat a childhood sweetheart!)

It's a rebirth story, and personally, I don't think it features many characters; the main focus is on the protagonist, who is practically an all-rounder. This great setter leads his supporters to the coaching area and takes away the tactics board! The protagonist has a very strong "golden finger" (advantageous ability), and I personally think it's quite good.

The most memorable part of the story is that the seme transforms into a dragon in one world, and then the two of them do *that* for several years (yes).

    These are some of my favorite books in the infrastructure-building genre. They're great. The protagonist is a white-collar worker who dies and is reborn in ancient times. He starts by making a fortune from instant noodles (giving ancient children a little industrial shock). Later, he returns to the modern world and starts a cultivation world, but the main focus is still on the ancient world. It's a story about how he gradually builds his business from a small shop to a chain store, franchise store, and finally a mega-mall. It's very engaging.

    Narcissus, the protagonist is a genius who excels in one subject but not the other. In the sword-cultivation sect, he tries to do the work of weapon-cultivation and magic cultivation. He is an absolute genius in weapon crafting. In the competition, he frantically throws out the magic weapons he has researched (who says magic weapons with sword energy aren't sword-cultivation?). The other protagonist is a clone created by the protagonist because he is too busy and wants to do many things at the same time (the other protagonist knows he is a substitute). At first, there is no hint of romance, but as the protagonist becomes reluctant to see the clone of the other disappear, a little romance slowly develops. The relationship between the protagonist and his family is also well written. The relationship between the protagonist and his sect and family is also very well written. It is a pretty good ensemble piece, even though it is a male-centric ensemble piece.

Also, the author's recent romance novels are really good, and this one is okay, but it doesn't quite meet my expectations.

    This is a very interesting and satisfying story about a submissive character. The submissive is a "bking" type who doesn't pretend to be cool but automatically does, causing people around him to unconsciously reveal his abilities due to various situations (yes, that's right). If you like similar stories, you can check it out. It features an incredibly cool submissive paired with a top who says "My wife is the best in the world." Although the two are in an arranged marriage, their romance is quite good.

    This is a fairly long novel with a focus on the bottom (uke). Almost all the scenes revolve around the bottom, while the top is the typical "little wife" type (?), But is actually a tall, incredibly handsome, and alpha male, though his abilities are more supportive (laughs). It's like my whole life revolves around the bottom. Their relationship is entangled across several worlds before they finally get together. The top is a swordsman from the first world who, before going to his doomed appointment, tells the bottom a story with his eyes. The bottom ends up helping him collect his excrement, and from then on, their fates become intertwined. The plot revolves around the bottom's journey to the top in different worlds using various abilities, such as painting, weaving, and sculpting. The second world is particularly good, but I stopped reading around the sixth or seventh world. The later worlds' plots are all similar—rising from humble beginnings to the top—so I gave up.

    So good!!! Although I found it a little strange at first that the uke fell in love with the seme at first sight, it got so good later on... The interactions between the farm animals, family, and friends, the love and relationship between the two—this book really tells a story slowly. The uke is handsome, and the seme is a wildly handsome guy (if I remember correctly). So good, so good, so good... I really love the interactions between the animals and the humans, and it's written so well... I love Heiwa so much, I love the Wolf King so much... I'm a dog lover, I admit it.

    It's a good read. The romance is okay, but not too overtly romantic (that's how we career-oriented readers are). A good story is one where the love story isn't awkward or jarringly interwoven with the career aspects and doesn't interfere with the reading experience. It's a comedy; maybe I have a low threshold for laughter, but I laughed from beginning to end. The protagonist is a guesthouse owner who hosts guests from various timelines (but that's not the main point). While it claims to connect with multiple worlds, it's more about reality, showing how a small guesthouse transforms into a world-renowned brand. It's a good read; I especially enjoyed the interactions between the main characters and the guests. It's a heartwarming, cute, and funny novel, and I stayed up all night reading it. The other protagonist is more of a background character—a perpetually lonely old man who falls for his neighbor's newborn child. The other is a dragon, and the protagonist has phoenix blood (I don't know why). It's a story about spoiling a child and falling in love (that's how it is for older men in our world).

    A captivating story set in the entertainment industry. My favorite book from last year, completely different from traditional entertainment novels. The protagonist (shou) starts strong, without any hesitation or timidity, achieving miracles through sheer force and handling his troubled family background exceptionally well. The main plot revolves around the protagonist's original storyline after transmigrating into the book (though it honestly feels like it doesn't say anything?). It's great! It's a bit old, but still really good... Their romance is one of the rare things I enjoy seeing them together (I'm the kind of person who craves romance in novels without a main couple but avoids it in pure romance novels).

    It's a coming-of-age story. The protagonist (uke) goes to study in the US midway through his studies, his whole family relocates, and he suddenly gets into basketball, which catches the eye of the other protagonist (who has a talent for it). It's basically love at first sight. With the other protagonist's help, the uke gradually learns to play basketball and eventually becomes a professional. The downside is that it's an older story, so some descriptions, wording, and catchphrases from back then might feel awkward to some readers. Another potential pitfall is that the female lead, the school beauty, who initially likes the uke actually likes the other protagonist, but he doesn't reciprocate. The other protagonist falls for the uke at first sight, creating a subtle love triangle in the early and middle stages. I think that's the biggest potential issue. However, the portrayal of the relationship between the two protagonists is quite good. The other protagonist's calculated moves, which the uke initially doesn't realize, make for a compelling emotional tug-of-war between them. The plot is also excellent, showing gradual growth from being helped to mutual support, and finally, overcoming each other's limitations to become the best version of themselves. The career development aspect is also very good.

    It's a good read, and it's a bit of an anti-cliché novel. It's a top-protagonist story! The bottom is a handsome guy with a buzz cut and honey-skinned skin (yes, I really like that type). The plot is that the top knows from the very beginning that he lives in a novel; he knows this right from the first chapter, and he doesn't mince words—he tells his two best friends (as does the bottom), and the story unfolds around this premise. It's a very funny and unconventional novel because the top and bottom's thought processes are truly different from ordinary people, making their relationship a very fun and interesting story.

    This is the best volleyball anime I've read recently... I've been really into sports novels lately, and this one is fantastic. The original work and fan-created content are handled very well, the protagonist's growth is well-portrayed, the matches are amazing, and the romance is handled well (it's great in every way!). The only potential pitfall is that if you haven't read this genre before, you might not be used to this writing style. There is a romantic pairing, but they only get together in the epilogue; you can read the main story as if there's no romantic pairing. The career development is definitely plentiful... The synopsis already pretty much sums up the plot, so I'll just say a few more words. Midway through, the protagonist worries because he thinks he has control of the plot, and because of this worry, he can't change the original story (from the original work), causing him to be in a slump for a while. The plot could be written around three main points: his rise to prominence, his slump, and his regaining of glory. In the end, it's just a straightforward, exciting story of winning the championship. The career development is very well done.
