1. 1 当 When the Dynasties Tune In to My Chinese Class [History Livestream] 当诸朝开始围观我的语文课[历史直播] A Letter from Spring Mountain春山有信No CP709k WordsCompleted [Reading Guide: 1. This is a parallel world, not a historically accurate story, and includes some creative liberties of my own. Where there are discrepancies, please defer to official history. The author is not a history major, so just enjoy it for fun. 2. The heroine is not a teacher. She is only posting a few videos over summer vacation, partly to pass the time and partly to get closer to the textbooks, so there will be some internet culture mixed in. If that doesn't work for you, feel free to 102.5kFavorites228.2kClicks/ch264.9kGifts

   The unavoidable labeling and overly obvious bias are very off-putting. The subtle attempts to belittle the prime minister are even more disgusting.

2. 2 我 I'm Locked in a Relationship with Myself 我和我自己锁了 djqzNo CP456k WordsOngoing One day, Gray woke up and discovered he had transmigrated into the world of a game. He had become both the original story's villain, already on the path to destroying the world, and the sequel's villain, who was about to embark on that same path. Their personalities were different, and their life experiences varied greatly, but they all harbored an irrepressible hatred of the world. If Gray rashly gave up on destroying the world, the system would consider him out of character and erase him. Y 15.9kFavorites34kClicks/ch53kGifts

   The male lead has no romantic partner but operates two alternate identities. The characters of these two identities are incredibly appealing and so engaging that they're captivating and addictive. The story includes a white moonlight/black moonlight/sickly but at peak combat strength/battle-damaged/depressed/twisted/self-destructive/a love-hate relationship/atypical mutual redemption. When a hero's body weakens and his mind remains closed off and tormented, when he gradually falls toward the fate of the mad killer in the end, how can he maintain indifference amidst illness, betrayal, madness, responsibility, and death? Those who least wanted to be heroes became heroes, while those who most wanted to be heroes became the losers among them. When a tormented, human-skinned failure encounters a seemingly insignificant success who is steadily sliding into the abyss, what happens? Redemption? Battle? Love or hate? In short, don't be an insignificant passerby. The world-building is meticulous, with foreshadowing and plot points handled skillfully and perfectly closed loops. The characters' behavior is logical and their intelligence is on point. Apart from the main characters, the supporting characters are also fleshed out and are not just mindless tools. The writing is decent, not simplistic, and avoids awkwardness or immersion. The atmosphere and emotional rendering are all excellent. Why did I deduct one star? First, because the updates are slow. Although we should be close to the finale, we are still waiting for the next chapter. Second, there are too many repetitive flashbacks and emotional scenes in the later parts, and the plot is driven more by dialogue and psychological descriptions, which makes the reading experience a little tiring.

The moment she confirms her situation, Meng Jintang wants to close her eyes again and peacefully drift off. If she can’t go back to reality, she might as well daydream for a while. Although the road ahead is uncertain, Meng Jintang finds some comfort in the fact that her transmigration also came with the game’s System.

   A very detailed martial arts-style story about a sect leader. The first few chapters have a stronger game-like feel, while the later chapters have a stronger martial arts feel, with very detailed descriptions of moves and combat, and a very detailed setting. However, personally, I feel that the story plateaus in the middle and loses its novelty.

4. 4 在 Daily Life Running a Taoist Temple in a World of Ghosts 在鬼怪世界开道观的日常 Mo Chao蓦朝No CP1.3M WordsCompleted [The main story is complete.] Zhou Yi was meditating on a mountain on an ordinary Monday. When he opened his eyes, he had arrived in an unfamiliar time and place. Mountains, thick fog, hunters. The mountain was unfamiliar, the fog was strange, and the people were from ancient times. Unable to make glass or soap, and with no exceptional cooking skills, Zhou Yi had no choice but to take over a Taoist temple on the verge of ruin. The good news was that Taoist priests here didn't have to pay tax 70.2kFavorites85.4kClicks/ch180kGifts

   This is a classic supernatural Taoist farming novel with a light writing style. The beginning is quite good, but the later parts become a bit formulaic and repetitive, which reduces its appeal.

   An interpretation from the perspective of a pure shipper. Although the main characters are young children, the entire story revolves around the characters' tropes, with several references to the original work, so it's only 99% accurate. The author's portrayal of these characters is a collection of stereotypical traits, with some subtle, formulaic, and out-of-character moments, but this is acceptable considering the story is a lighthearted, comedic, and silly one. Overall, the author is very friendly towards the characters with tropes, making one want to chant, "Six steps, three staircases, Chuuya ranks before the world's destruction; five shots, three bullet holes, our fate shouldn't end here!" However, I'm not interested in the main character's storyline or romantic relationships. To me, he's just a tool for shipping different kinds of couples, but the writing isn't annoying enough, so it's acceptable.

7. 7 陨 The Fallen Senior Brother 陨落的大师兄 Mu Xiniang木兮娘Danmei (BL)74k WordsCompleted At the end of the story, the Hengshan Sect's bright and noble senior disciple is exposed as a hypocrite. His spiritual core is destroyed, his meridians are severed, and he is expelled from the sect, reviled by everyone. Potential issues: 1. Short story, mpreg. 2. I'm trying to write more of the emotional side, which I'm not good at. The shou is a true villain and a hypocrite; the gong is a lovesick fool and a devoted homemaker. Moral: Try dating someone with sound values. 25.3kFavorites63.6kClicks/ch8.7kGifts

   Great! The first half is the kind of pure love with a dark, underworld feel that I love, and a dark world with a pure love feel! The second half is more fairytale-like and romantic, but it doesn't lose its brain and respects the reader's intelligence.

What's more, they claimed the other person was his perfect match, his ideal partner. If he wasn't satisfied, he could get a refund. Emperor Gu, tricked into a blind date, walked in and saw his rival sitting across from him... Gu Nianqiu: "Sorry, I don't like younger men."

   Curator note

   This is a classic AO (Aho-O) novel set in the entertainment industry, featuring a younger man/older woman relationship. The protagonist transitions from a virgin to an omega, experiencing a significant age shift. The sickly, frail feeling is well-placed and not overly exaggerated within the entertainment context, yet it's very relatable. The interactions and emotional development between the two protagonists are described with delicate detail and a focus on everyday life. However, the sickly, frail feel that I really liked disappears in the later stages, as the focus shifts to their romance and the development of their relationship. P. S. Not suitable for people with a high degree of control in any sense.

   Turning some marginal characters into hot guys is logically sound, and the revised character designs are indeed quite good, making some bizarre-themed couples incredibly appealing... However, the large amount of opinion-driven content sometimes really disrupts the flow of the story.

    This is a classic slice-of-life farming novel, written in a simple and unpretentious style, with excellent depiction of local customs and skillful use of classical allusions where necessary. One aspect I particularly enjoyed was the female protagonist's character and sense of right and wrong; her thoughts and convictions were clearly understood. The first volume, depicting her rise to wealth, is undoubtedly the best, while the later volumes, focusing on her marriage, are slightly less compelling.

    Five stars (manually). A clear breeze and bright moon, aiding in the restoration of glory. Zhuge Liang, my intellectual awakening. A very good novel about the Prime Minister, a must-read for fans of Zhuge Liang! And it's based on official historical records of the Prime Minister, *crying emoji*. It not only portrays the Prime Minister's loyalty and righteousness but also reveals a side of him rarely seen in other novels—a multi-talented, calm, and self-possessed politician. However, this is from the female protagonist's perspective and is written in the second person; please read the author's detailed warnings before reading.

    This is a story about a beautiful and powerful bottom who is popular with everyone. It's a story with a lot of descriptions of his appearance. His cheat ability is his unique and unparalleled face (although he is also very strong). The idea that many supporting characters change their attitudes because of his face is ridiculous, but the writing is good enough to make it not too awkward. If you don't care about that, it's a decent story about a popular bottom who is very satisfying.

    The male lead has no romantic partner (I vaguely remember he was the bottom). It's suitable for fans of tragic endings (BE). The protagonist's character is well-developed and has a compelling backstory, which appeals to my tastes. However, for readers who prefer happy endings, lighthearted romances, tragic endings, or other fast-paced stories, this is unpleasant, really unpleasant. It has a twisted, sour feeling mixed with a tiny bit of satisfaction. Enter at your own risk. PS. All the worlds I've read so far have tragic endings (BEs).

Two stars for the character design and Mingyue, two stars for my past naive belief that all the pent-up frustrations could be avenged, one star for the author's persistent padding; three stars deducted for the idiotic supporting characters, the idiotic story, and the terrible ending. Recommended for those with low blood pressure. Even now, I don't understand why, after creating such a beautiful, strong, and tragic character like Mingyue, she was sacrificed by a bunch of cunning and morally bankrupt supporting characters and a horde of fools.

    This is an original work featuring multiple identities, a fictionalized narrative, and a mix of different characters. The author's skill in writing alternate identity scenarios is decent, but their logical ability in creating side stories is nonexistent. Those looking for a story with multiple identities acting out a charade to fool the audience might enjoy it, but those expecting bizarre side stories should probably skip it. There's a certain charm to the alternate identity characters' emotional tension, which at first glance turns out to be nothing more than a village brawl. Four stars for Kashu.

    The male protagonist has no romantic partner and establishes a magical university hidden within modern society. He's a scholarly, mentor-type protagonist—a saintly figure who doesn't squander others' resources, idealistic but not unrealistic, and involved in both infrastructure development and management. The author has painstakingly created a magical world; the author's comments are commendable. However, the later management portion is too short, and the perspective shifts to the students, making it less engaging than the earlier parts.
