- 1 The Damn System Says I Have to Strike First 狗系统让我先发制人 System Evaluation: The Host is despicable, lies through his teeth, has no manners, and has questionable intelligence. He's the latest low point in morality, and his mental state is seriously concerning. 0Votes15.7kRecs39kFans
- 2 Mad Immortal 疯仙 I transmigrated, and even found a “little bottle” that could gather spiritual liquid and use it to accelerate the growth of spirit herbs. Hmph. A classic mortal-cultivation story from the start... I'm bound to take off, right? The corners of my mouth lifted slightly as I began cultivating. - I sit cross-legged: I'm circulating my cultivation technique. I take deep breaths: I'm absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I look nothing like a human: these are the signs of my ascension to 0Votes10.3kRecs52.2kFans

- 6 EN Part-Time Boss 兼职BOSS A princess locked up in a dragon’s lair is like a yacht owned by a tycoon. Whether you ever use it is beside the point; what matters is that you can’t do without one. Ideally, it should come with a few bounty quests, and the higher their level, the better. A dragon-slaying quest would be even better. That’s the kind of prestige we’re after. If you don’t have a princess locked up at home, cursing you to go to hell every day, you can hardly call yourself a proper dragon when greeting the others. W 2Votes110.7kRecs397.9kFans

- 9 EN Infinite Horror Game 无限诡异游戏 Rules feed on gods, and gods offer all living beings as sacrifices. The eerie game is a trap, and the resurgence of the occult is its medium. Beneath the austere veneer lies an indescribable terror. Unwilling to be shackled by fate, Si Qi leaps beyond his restraints. He shreds morality and dances alone on the boundary between black and white; he breaks free of the rules and builds his own 7Votes55.7kRecs233.6kFans

Having passed the imperial examinations at a young age, he was a bona fide member of the bloodsucking elite class, someone who should have held immense local power, received more gifts than he could accept, spent more money than he could use, celebrated more New Years than he could count, and taken more concubines than he could accommodate.
