Little Demons Don’t Go to Heaven 小妖不上天

All right. Huan Ge just t

Rise of the Main God 主神崛起
I woke up transmigrated into the role of a villain? This isn’t how the story’s supposed to go! I even stole someone else’s girl? And now there’s a domineering older sister too?

Plot-Driven Reads, No Hand-Holding: 1. Sci-Fi
A mix of hard and soft sci-fi, including both civilization-building stories and tales of the protagonist's growth. These are sci-fi novels I think suit my tastes: they have fresh settings, relatively complete frameworks, and are enjoyable to read. The male and female leads shouldn't be total airheads, and they should have some brains. The plot shouldn't be so predictable that you know the ending from the opening, and a few surprises are always welcome. The prose shouldn't be a string of exam-sty
