   The male lead is the female lead's contracted beast; I can't stand this kind of beast-human-like pet setting.

   It's a world of beast taming, yet they're still making up the idea that women are inferior to men. Even male-oriented authors don't write like that.

   The college entrance examination system is too unreasonable.

4. 4 系 The System: When a Soft Girl Transmigrates into a BOSS 系统之当软妹子穿成BOSS A Thousand Mountains in a Move弈落千山Romance2.6M WordsCompleted Soft and adorable Fang Yiwei: Impossible! I'm so weak, pitiful, and helpless. How could I be the boss! System: ...Before you say that, could you turn around and count the people you've beaten until they got on their knees and called you Dad? “Bah! What the Messiah did has nothing to do with me, Fang Yiwei! o(￣ヘ￣o#)” Fang Yiwei, who had viciously beaten up the entire Alliance while wearing the secret identity “Messiah,” said this shamelessly... No, innocently. A boss protagonist who seamlessly sw 31kFavorites120.1kClicks/ch193.7kGifts

   In this old-fashioned novel, the female lead finds two legendary marriage companions but gives them away. She's too saintly, I can't stand it!

   I tried several times, but couldn't stick with it until I got to the paid version. The protagonist is like a money-giving genius, giving away materials and equipment for free. It's frustrating. The supporting characters steal the show, and the protagonist isn't exciting at all.

6. 6 花 Figure Skating: I'm Better Suited for the Olympics 花滑 我还是更适合参加奥运 Jun Xing菌行Danmei (BL)937k WordsCompleted “When you test how hard a piece of glass is, it is destined to shatter. In other words, once suspicion begins, the verdict is already in.”, Cicada Woman This was written in 2020. I couldn't predict that someone would land a 4A in 2022, or that a Japanese skater would announce a relationship that year. If I really had the gift of prophecy, I'd rather predict lottery numbers than other people's love lives.

   The descriptions were all very good, except for the first Olympics scoring scandal where the gold medal was lost... It was so frustrating! Real life is frustrating enough; I don't want to experience that again in a novel.

7. 7 滑 I Became a Legend After Going Skiing 滑雪后我成了大佬 Quiet Boat Sprite静舟小妖No CP1.9M WordsCompleted Yu Le accompanied a friend to a freestyle skiing team tryout, never expecting Coach Chai Ming, nicknamed “The Grim Reaper,” to take an interest in him. . Yu Le clutched his swim trunks and shouted, “No! I'm sticking with diving! I'm ranked third in the country right now. If I outlast the top guy, I'll be second. I'm not going!” .

   The match descriptions were quite good, but unfortunately, the author is a novice, and while it's labeled as having no romantic pairing, the constant depiction of the protagonist's "brotherly bond" with his best friend feels odd. That best friend is described far too much: top-tier family background + top-tier talent + effortlessly becoming world number one + his psychological issues are endearing; he feels more like the protagonist than the main character, almost overshadowing the protagonist's highlights.

   The female lead is far too weak; she's bullied by everyone and a pushover.

   It's well-written, but the protagonist, a five-year-old child, is as mature as an adult—doesn't anyone find that odd? Furthermore, the author seems to favor the Mohist school of thought; I don't agree with that.

    The female protagonist actually addresses the emperor as "Your Majesty" to his face, unable to distinguish between first and third person pronouns. I seriously doubt the author's level of education.

She never expected the whole story to change overnight. Farming turned into cultivation, and at last she could become the little fairy she had always wanted to be! Too bad Su the Fairy hadn't even had her spiritual roots tested when she realized that the way things were developing seemed a little too familiar.

    As the title suggests, the older brother is the true protagonist of this wish-fulfillment story, while the female lead is merely an accessory to him. The writing is mediocre and feels padded.
