Mostly Hong Kong crime-action fanfiction. Five stars means ten stars, and even one star means it’s readable.

My personal collection
A Dream of Red Mansions
It's tough, tough, tough. Hong Lou stories have their own tag now, but completed ones are rare, and truly excellent ones are rarer still. Here's a collection of the Hong Lou stories I've read and been able to get into.

The novels by Jia Mu and Liu Laolao are bland and tasteless, and the only way to make up for it is by updating more frequently. Why don't the authors update more?
I already feel that after finishing this fanfic, unless the author writes another Dream of the Red Chamber fanfic, I really won't be able to read any other Dream of the Red Chamber fanfics 🙂. Although there are some unpleasant parts, the brilliant parts outweigh the flaws, and the overall quality is far from over.
Qin Keqing, the protagonist, has been completely whitewashed. No matter what, she committed adultery with her father-in-law. What kind of person could she be in ancient society?
"Saving the Sky" is finished, and this piece of garbage still managed to become popular! It doesn't even seem as well-researched as the author's work!
The writing and plot are both acceptable, but the male lead is like a sycophant, always subservient to women and easily controlled by anyone. He's practically portrayed as a control freak.
Keep it up, author! I've read over a dozen Dream of the Red Chamber fanfics, and this one, in terms of writing style and plot, is truly among the best. Be careful when writing your next historical novel. Try not to worry too much about reviews when writing. Keep it up, and I hope you write more!
I just love watching stories about wives.
Hurry up and write! Accept all those names like Lady Wang, Li Zhi, and Grandmother Jia! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I've read many Dream of the Red Chamber fanfictions. Personally, I think this one has excellent writing and satisfying moments. I feel that Dream of the Red Chamber fanfiction should focus on descriptions of emotions, garden scenes, and operas, rather than official power struggles; those are just fake fanfiction disguised as official stories, and they're disgusting to read.
Well written The focus feels off. Characters like Baochai and Daiyu have too little screen time, while other, less-than-favorite characters get too much. Watching the main characters' romantic entanglements with these other characters is really boring. For example, Madam Xing—while I don't object to taking her in, her role seems unclear.
Making a grand spectacle in a snail shell, grabbing everything at once.
