Modern veterinary medicine is only just getting started in this era. A minor epidemic can kill hundreds or thousands of cattle and sheep, destroying a year’s hard work for the herders and wiping the smiles from the faces of the hospitable grassland people.

   Curator note

   This is a female-centric story with no male lead. It's a rare historical novel set in a remote border region, featuring a female protagonist working as a veterinarian among herders. The research is meticulous, the characters have solid professional knowledge, and the slow-paced, rural life makes for a very enjoyable read. Warning: This author has a particular fondness for petite, slender, and cute female characters, a stark contrast to their strong professional skills. Perhaps due to criticism of their previous works featuring shy, slender, and moist-lipped protagonists, this book shows a slight improvement, shifting from a sexualized female lead to a more childlike one. Every middle-aged or elderly person passing by will remark on how incredibly childlike the female lead appears—slender, small, innocent, and pure-hearted. After all, it's quite jarring for older men from the 1960s to comment on a female lead's slender waist and moist lips; this is a much better approach.

   Curator note

   The novel is a female protagonist's cultivation story. She has a cheat code to cultivate, fight monsters, draw talismans and level up. The unique setting of this novel is that the female protagonist accidentally enters a demonic sect. The entire demonic sect does whatever it wants. The master uses his disciple to replenish his energy, and the elders capture disciples to refine weapons. Under such circumstances, the female protagonist can only relax her bottom line appropriately but stick to her original heart. Warning: The author states that the female lead is solely focused on cultivation, with romance being merely a secondary element. While this is indeed the female lead's perspective, the story contains numerous instances from the male lead's perspective. The most clichéd element is the female lead's pet cat being possessed by the male lead, with half a chapter dedicated to the male lead observing the female lead through the cat's eyes. Another cliché is the male lead discovering the female lead's unusual nature and taking her as his disciple. Most regrettably, the male lead, as the leader of a demonic sect, is portrayed as rigid, upright, and naive, even frowning at the sight of a woman showing her arms. This largely ruins the "female lead accidentally entering a demonic sect and struggling to survive" premise. What's the difference between having such an ordinary master and an ordinary cultivator?

    [Romance] This isn't a wish-fulfillment story. The male lead is the emperor, and the female lead is a female minister disguised as a man. Their social statuses are unequal, which might be painful for those who dislike this kind of romance. However, the plot is excellently written. It's not a wish-fulfillment story; you can appreciate the female lead's excellence. But because the story is quite realistic and the "golden finger" (superpower/cheat code) isn't too strong, there are still many unavoidable situations. The overall feel is very serious. I'm giving it 4 stars because the theories on governance are exceptionally well-written.

    This is a typical quick transmigration novel, suitable for reading without much thought. The protagonist is a winner in every world she transmigrates to, but she's extremely lazy.

If the world she transmigrates to is terrible, she'll rise up on her own. The protagonist's cheat abilities are off the charts, and the details of her becoming stronger are just dry outlines; you can skip around to see which world is best when you're bored.

    The female lead's storyline, with the Women's Federation president transmigrating into a mythological world, is quite ingenious. Turning ghosts into humans in modern society is a clever concept.

    Keywords like "interstellar," "feudal empire," "cross-class," "patriarchy," "humanoid mecha," "substitute marriage," and "system"... The selling point is making these elements seem plausible. Personally, I feel this story resembles an ABO novel with omega-like elements, a BL insectoid novel (where the male protagonist is short, pitiful, and helpless but powerful) playing StarCraft, or a novel with a personal space researching space and physics... The original themes never considered plausibility; the tropes are clichéd, but as long as it's entertaining, that's enough. Why insist on finding realism in mindless, formulaic plots...? Are they just bored? There are many things in the anime/manga world, such as omegas going into heat or evil gods turning into busty beauties; these don't need explanation. The more you explain, the more bugs you'll see.

    [Niche Genre Bonus] This is a modern fantasy novel where the protagonist is a half-demon who is forced by an unknown, mysterious figure to play (or rather, be packaged as) a super-powerful villain in a comic book. The ongoing comic depicts real events, but the humans following the series believe the monsters are fake. No romance. Recommended for its imaginative premise. The strengths and weaknesses are very obvious. The strength lies in the author's incredibly imaginative and interesting story. The weakness is the author's inability to write web novels; the writing is suffocatingly padded, and it's not intentional. It's a complete lack of understanding of pacing and plot twists, with the author writing whatever comes to mind. Often, just as the climax is about to unfold, the protagonist is caught in a flashback/experiences a strange accident/enters the daily life of a supporting character, resulting in two or three chapters of filler followed by a dry, hundred-word explanation of the climax. It's infuriating to read.

The male lead thinks that the female lead's refusal to seduce wealthy older men doesn't fit her previous image of being vain, implying that the female lead isn't an ordinary virtual character and that she's abnormal? Friend, don't you consider yourself as a variable when you're thinking about this? You were the one who approached her first, gave her money, and made her more beautiful. She earned more money seducing wealthy older men than seducing you. If she's still willing to seduce older men, then that's abnormal, okay?

    The protagonist is very ambitious and loves to preach. In the early stages, when the protagonist is busy with the power struggles of being a concubine (the power struggles section is really long), it is a bright spot in the story. However, when the plot unfolds and the female lead gains practical abilities, she still only talks the talk... Hundreds of chapters have passed and the female lead is still a concubine. Because she has power outside, her husband divorced his legal wife and dared not treat her badly, begging her to have children. This part is written much more vividly and in detail than how the female lead develops her technology, trains her troops, and builds her own power. I think the author didn't really want to write a story about a female protagonist dominating the world; she just enjoyed the thrill of the female protagonist becoming "self-reliant" and then crushing her rivals in the power struggles within the household. Oh, the female lead's right-hand woman, a supporting character, felt she couldn't just stay a clerical worker and needed to be independent, so she falsely accused the female lead's political enemy of raping her and then committed suicide. It's so horrifying, I'm speechless.

    Set in an alternate world of England. A new story by the author of "Reincarnated Dark Elf." The female protagonist transmigrates to a parallel world in 19th-century England. Her original body was already dead, a sacrifice for a mass suicide, but after transmigrating, she rises from the dead and accidentally gains supernatural abilities, becoming part of an organization's outer circle. The organization's goal is to isolate all anomalies from ordinary people's perception, such as disguising mass suicides as gang fights. The protagonist's ability is energy conversion and manipulation, primarily kinetic and thermal energy, with incredible potential. The organization assigns her the worldly identity of a French noblewoman (disguised as a man), and she attends university while carrying out missions to conceal her anomalies. What impressed me most about this story was that the entire nation of the parallel world had ascended to heaven long ago, leaving East Asia only a vast ocean and neon lights nearly destroyed by a tsunami, leaving behind various mysterious legends. Warning: The male lead is stronger than the female lead and serves as her guardian and mentor.

    It's a system novel where the protagonist is a drama student with a pretty good personality, especially when the female lead is still in school. After becoming a corporate slave, her domineering nature diminishes a bit, but she's still a great character. The system can help the protagonist find inspiration, seize popular themes, improve hand speed, and... Have all sorts of dreams to enhance "life experience," with the male protagonist appearing in every dream. Overall, the food supplies are above average, but personally, I'd deduct one star for these inexplicable dreams. I think the female lead would have succeeded even without the system; it was just a matter of time. The system's greatest value is simply allowing the male and female leads to meet in their dreams. Sigh. The female lead's personality is very natural, but the male lead, from his bloodline to his personality to the way he falls for her, seems like a two-dimensional character. It's really too jarring. Post-completion review: Changed to 3 stars. It became increasingly romance-obsessed towards the end, a shame given how amazing the beginning was.

    Curator note

    The worldview of Lotus is unparalleled, and this story is no exception. The female protagonist is one of the candidates for the Heavenly Dao, and the entire cultivation world hopes she dies, but she survives longer and gets stronger in the battle royale. Two things I really dislike about Lotus's stories are that there's always an annoying, boastful guy at the beginning, though he quickly calms down; and there's always a girl who's deeply devoted to the female lead, making you scream with excitement, but ultimately her best friend dies... I hope this one leaves me with some lesbian romance! The writing style remains obscure, the setting is somewhat complex, and the beginnings are always unsatisfying. I suggest persevering until around chapter 20 when the setting unfolds before deciding whether to continue reading. In addition, compared to Lotus's other works, the female protagonist in this story is more "naive" and innocent, which is a new attempt for her. Sometimes, I feel that she's a bit too "naive," which I don't particularly like. It's been too long since I last updated, so I've accumulated a lot of content.

    Reading this story feels like watching Gintama, hahaha... Because the female lead is completely indifferent, I accept all sorts of plot points, hahaha. I applaud the very rare female lead character... The female lead is a greasy, middle-aged, balding, beer-bellied, unsophisticated academic big shot who sexually harasses her. The female lead is overjoyed: she can get the big shot's magic weapon and guidance just by tearing off her clothes and sitting on his lap. Is there really such a good thing!

    This is a crossover anime/manga series. Overall, it feels more like a wish-fulfillment story than a lighthearted one. The female lead has a deep mind, and her final actions are quite inspiring. However, it feels unnecessary to spend so much time depicting the men's love for her. The female lead's charm is evident in her actions, while the men becoming love-struck doesn't feel romantic at all; instead, it just makes them seem like they're making mistakes and lacking in vision. To use an analogy, the female lead is like Zhuge Liang, and the love-struck men are like Liu Shan (A Dou). In the end, Zhuge Liang died a glorious death, leaving no mark on history, while Liu Shan is remembered for eternity… The female lead truly dedicated herself to the cause of humanity, which is commendable. Humanity is indeed great, and the female lead is indeed great. She did what was right, regardless of posthumous fame. And Liu Shan cried so bitterly at Zhuge Liang's funeral! The female lead only died, but these men were heartbroken! This article is also known as "The Story of a Female Martyr's Workplace Sexual Harassment".

    [Niche Genre Bonus] This adorable story was so satisfying; I read the latest chapter in one go. For a plush cat lover like me, it's a gem! Even without the filter, it's a 4/5. While I don't usually read stories about overly maternal love and pregnant women running away together, cats are different! (Sound of excitement) The author's depiction of animal movements is so incredibly lifelike! The female protagonist transmigrates into the body of a mother leopard with cubs. She becomes a mother unexpectedly, but her two cubs die in a power struggle with the male leopard. Unwilling to bear offspring for the leopard that killed her cubs, she runs away from home and finds a lion and a cheetah. The story follows the ups and downs of their family of three. The story of the female protagonist's gradual transformation from human to leopard is very well written. I really love the female protagonist and her cub! Warning: The female lead sometimes views animals through a human lens, which is a bit odd. For example, she thinks the male leopard is a jerk for leaving after having sex.
