Quality Works with Depth and Great Plots
I've fallen into countless traps, driven plenty of cars, written plenty of smut, and penned both reviews and editorials. After a long time searching, reading, thinking, and weighing things critically, I've found a collection of works with both intellectual substance and excellent plots. I hope to share them with you so we can read them together.

Highly Recommended Gender-Swap Yuri and Pure Yuri
Every one of these is good. I recommend saving the list.

Hello author, I'm a plagiarist. For the sake of my readers, you must maintain a high update frequency. Please don't be ungrateful!
It's a bit unsettling to read. It's tagged with "transformation into a yuri" (a term referring to a story involving a woman becoming a lesbian), but I didn't see a single instance of that throughout the entire text. Instead, it feels like it was just one step away from becoming a typical "transformation into a yuri" story. Hopefully, it'll end soon.
I was dumbfounded.
To be fair, the writing is alright, but the latest chapter left me speechless. You're writing a harem/rebirth story with a hundred protagonists, and the early plot is drawn-out with limited interactions with the male characters—I could tolerate that as a slow-burn story. But then, you're an emperor with so few trump cards! You go to rescue someone who faints, then you get injured while trying to steal a treasure, you go to a secret realm and get nothing before leaving, then you go to get the tea tree and finally get a chance to show off, only to have it disappear again? I can't see the harem aspect yet, but you start by describing the younger sister and older brother—everyone knows the younger sister's importance in a harem/hundred-progression story—and yet, in one chapter, there's absolutely no foreshadowing...
I followed this book just to get the "yuri" tag, and now they have to add a male body? Do you want to eat candy but end up swallowing sand?
I was fortunate enough to read the author's "Girl from the Underworld," it was very good.
Not recommended to watch
There were too many flaws in the early chapters, and I couldn't continue reading after chapter 40. I had no problem with the slow-burn aspect, but after chapter 20, Su Luoluo tells someone (I forgot the name) that the protagonist is hers, and then she's instantly defeated – is that what you call slow-burn? Also, the interactions with men in the beginning are far too intimate, and several men even fight for her? Am I reading a Mary Sue novel? The "marriage subjugation" trope is too strong. I don't think this book is slow-burn, because there are quite a few romantic scenes with men in the beginning, right? She even offers to assist Lu Xinglan for a year on Grandpa Lu's 80th birthday. I just don't understand that. If you want to write about marriage subjugation, just write a book about it, why...?
Too slow to warm up, and interacts too much with male characters.
Having read up to chapter 24, it's really slow-paced. There aren't any female characters with romantic subplots with the protagonist yet. Although the author stated this beforehand, there's just too much screen time devoted to male characters. Some of these male characters could easily be female; that would have been much better. The current arrangement is hard to accept. Will there be any more plot holes later? To be honest, even if the protagonist doesn't have romantic feelings for any of the male characters, they definitely do. At this point, up to chapter 24, I won't continue reading. I'll wait until later. If I'm sure the author won't throw in any more plot holes after many chapters, I'll come back and skip to the next one. Once I'm sure there won't be any more plot holes, I'll...
The story begins by revolving around the backgrounds of two male characters: the Lu family and the Star Fate Society. The plot itself is okay. However, to avoid any misinterpretations, what I find objectionable is the author's deliberate, ambiguous portrayal of the protagonist's feelings towards the two male characters.
Where is Tianxing writing books now?
Let's take stock of the flaws.
I'm giving it an 8 out of 10 beforehand because I personally can accept most of the flaws listed here. The purpose of this review is simply to warn potential readers. First, the romance is too slow-paced. Currently at chapter 268, 560,000 words. Among the main characters, only three girls are particularly close to the female lead, and only one, Wang You/Su Luoluo, has clearly expressed her feelings, while the female lead hasn't reciprocated, leaving the relationship ambiguous. Su Xiyao has feelings for her but hasn't taken any action; and the remaining younger sister is practically taken advantage of right from the start. Harem novels aren't just about who has feelings for whom; the important thing is the interaction between the two...
