1. 51 我 I Think I Really Am the Future Boss 我好像真的是未来BOSS Magical Girl Tu Yingjun魔法少女兔英俊Danmei (BL)592k WordsCompleted [Pre-release: After Dressing as a Woman and Provoking the Dragon-Proud Hero, details at the end] I got myself a younger boyfriend. He's fierce and wild, and he never admits he likes me, but he's a great cook, and he blushes when he kisses me. He's just so adorable. It's just that his chuunibyou is a little severe. He keeps saying he knows the memories of the future, and that I'll eventually become the Big Boss who destroys humanity. One day, he says, he'll have to kill me.

   Curator note

   The caption was so funny that I clicked on it immediately. And it turns out to be a really lighthearted, silly, and humorous post-apocalyptic story. The author uses a humorous tone to lightly gloss over the not-so-pleasant background world, making it really fun. The most interesting part is from the beginning to the caption. Perhaps because it's so lighthearted, there aren't any particularly dramatic emotional ups and downs, and the pacing is quite smooth. Compared to the cross-dressing overpowered protagonist novel, it's a bit more abrupt, so I'm giving it four stars.

   Ahhhhh, it's so sweet, so sweet! I love it!!! Although it's mainly about various cases, the interaction between the two characters is just too sweet!! The whole thing has a magnificent and dazzling flavor, which is also the unique flavor of the author's integration of Chinese mythological figures into the novel. It may be because traditional culture brings a sense of historical weight and mystery. This article is really full of folk culture, and various shamans haha~ The stories and folk culture are really interesting! And the combination of the Peacock God and the shaman is especially great, I love it!

3. 53 求 Countdown to Survival 求生倒计时 Mu Xiniang木兮娘Danmei (BL)807k WordsCompleted I What would you do if you transmigrated? Zhao Baiyu: Die while it’s still hot. II Zhao Baiyu’s birth mother was a pampered princess who went mad for love and committed every kind of evil. She was banished from the capital, leaving the infant Zhao Baiyu behind. His relatives and friends in the capital hated Zhao Baiyu because of his birth mother. Zhao Baiyu had a hard life. His half-brother, Zhao Yuzheng, 275.8kFavorites353.5kClicks/ch405.7kGifts

   Curator note

   It was truly shocking! Especially when Bai Yu beheaded three hundred officials with a single stroke, he really didn't want to live anymore. He witnessed hundreds of ordinary people being killed, leaving no trace of their bodies, and countless wronged souls wandering the two rivers, yet he was powerless to clear their names. The imperial power and the power of the nobility in this era were in stark contrast to the suffering of the people. He couldn't solve the problem. He couldn't even make the people live with dignity like in modern times. He even found it so difficult to seek justice for the wronged. Despair overwhelmed him, but in the end, thankfully, he finally made peace with himself. The span of thousands of years could not be erased by him alone, but everything he did was not without reward. A single spark can start a prairie fire, and Bai Yu was the one who lit the flame. The overall tone of the piece is relatively somber. While the first half is somewhat lighthearted, it also evokes a sense of calm before the storm. Later on, the moment the sword fell had a poignant, almost tragic, sense of finality. The romance was adequate but unremarkable, but the plot was truly brilliant. Neither the protagonists nor the antagonists acted foolishly; the back-and-forth power struggles, the clash and reconciliation of modern and ancient ideologies, were all beautifully written!

   Curator note

   The entire article is like a swan song of ants trying to overthrow dinosaurs, which was fortunately successful with the help of the girl in the white dress. But Teacher Song Bai is truly a pity, he's so charming! The relationship between Xiao Ji Tuling and Si Chen is also one of mutual redemption, so sweet! Neither Si Chen nor Song Bai are good people in the traditional sense, but they are very responsible, while Xiao Ji Tuling is a determined executor, forging ahead without hesitation.

Recently, he’s been assigned to haunt a comic artist who just graduated from college. And Mu Bai hasn’t gotten a single bite to eat in three months.

   Perfect as bedtime reading, it doesn't have a particularly complicated plot; it's just a pure sweet treat. Personally, I felt the emotional development at the beginning might be a bit abrupt, but it flows smoothly from beginning to end, so from a sweet treat perspective, it deserves five stars! The plot is also very simple.

6. 56 拜 Bye-Bye [Book Transmigration] 拜拜[穿书] Xi Xite西西特Danmei (BL)753k WordsCompleted One day, on his way home, Jiaobai passed a little bookstore. His feet took a turn and carried him inside, where the owner recommended a batch of new releases with a fatherly smile. They were all danmei comics. He happily headed home, but a car hit him at an intersection right outside his place. When he opened his eyes, he was inside a melodramatic, bad-ending danmei comic full of scum and toxic relationships. Heh heh heh. Jiaobai lay peacefully on a big white bed, hands folded over his stomach. 191.2kFavorites289.5kClicks/ch392.5kGifts

   I'm absolutely thrilled! The chemistry between the top and bottom is incredible. I really love the top—he's both crazy and restrained, yet elegant. I also love the bottom—he's like an unyielding bamboo shoot. The interactions between Bai Bai and Third Brother are just too sweet! This story is neither suitable for those who like the seme (top) nor the uke (bottom), but I absolutely love melodramatic stories! The main reason is that both the seme and uke suffer terribly, but it's not that they caused each other's suffering; it's the external factors that caused their misery. Unlike typical melodramatic romance novels with their heart-wrenching, tragic love stories, this story is all about madness—extreme madness. Every character is mad, and the melodrama is plentiful, making it high-energy throughout. But the sweet moments between the main characters are hidden between the lines; two wounded hearts huddle together, supporting each other. Besides the main couple, Xiao Shen and Zhang Zhen, I also really like Jiang Yan. She's a dazzling little sun, and a little sun that still shines brightly even after going through thorns. It's so good that Xiao Shen, Zhang Zhen, and Jiang Yan didn't all have new lives and escape the shadows like in the original story!

Lele in kindergarten: “Brother Xiaoyu, my classmate said he has a pretty sister-in-law. What's a sister-in-law?” Song Yu: “Your brother's wife.” Lele: “No! I don't want a sister-in-law!” Song Yu: “...” Lele: “I'll be your sister-in-law!” (Something's not quite right here...)

   Curator note

   Aside from the last twenty chapters or so, the earlier parts and the epilogue are all fantastic and incredibly enjoyable!! It's a shame that the plot after the Emperor's ascension is a little strange, but it doesn't really detract from the overall experience! I absolutely loved all the story before the Emperor's ascension! The portrayal of many positive characters was particularly touching.

   A very good story. Actually, the article and the title have little to do with each other. It's a magical story that's cute, sweet, and serious all at once. I was really curious about the fox spirit concept, but the author didn't elaborate on it, haha. A divine love story between the two leads! Even the supporting characters are very well-developed! Overall, I really like it.

Please don’t take the protagonists’ gripes and banter about ABO too seriously. After reading hundreds of danmei novels, Lin Jing went on a furious rant in the comments of Bai Tang Wogua’s ongoing novel: [The gong always leads the shou to greatness.

    Hmm, I absolutely loved the early Wilderness arc, it was so much fun, definitely worth five stars!! The later parts felt a bit lacking in intensity... So I'd give it three and a half stars. But I absolutely loved the childhood sweetheart side story!! So, four stars for now!! (Seriously!)

    The beginning was good, but the writing style got a bit awkward in the middle and later parts. However, I haven't read a Sentinel story in a long time, so I'm adding an extra star. There's just so little content lately, I've been starving for so long, and finally I found another Sentinel story, which is pretty good!

    The first two-thirds are absolutely fantastic, with a very imaginative and novel concept, but the last third is slightly weaker. Overall, it's still okay.

Gu Mingxiao was born with a sword bone, cool and transcendent, like a bright moon in the heavens, impossible to reach. The cannon-fodder had little talent and a vile nature. All he could do was use his resemblance to Gu Mingxiao to curry favor with several of Gu Mingxiao’s admirers, while growing so jealous of him he nearly went mad.

    It's pretty good. I really like the main couple, especially the quirky Jiang Churong. The male lead seems cold, but his heart is actually burning with intense passion for Jiang. It's also very interesting.
