A Personal Reading List from a Veteran Reader (No Gender-Bender Romance)
This list excludes gender-bender-to-male romances, sex changes, and cross-dressing. I don’t include novels that deliberately emphasize a male protagonist’s “feminine beauty,” and I’m not into male-male couples. I can’t accept that kind of novel on a personal level. This list mainly collects novels about adventure, running a business, funny and laid-back daily life, and light harem-style romantic competition. I don’t like novels where the System has too much presence, or ones that abandon logic a

Distinctive Masterpieces That Dazzle at First Sight and Are Well Worth Reading
The plots are worth exploring, the writing is fairly smooth, and the subject matter is a little niche. But these are great books to try if you're tired of reading the same old formulaic stories and want a change of pace.

Thank you for painting this picture with a wave of your hand.
Review of "How Can I, the Second Male Lead, Pursue the Second Female Lead?" Foreword: I had high expectations for this book, but the ending was poorly written. If the beginning deserves a 10, the ending only deserves a 1. (Besides, the beginning isn't perfect either.) The author established most of the book's premise in the first volume, and Zhou Zhiyi's sense of powerlessness was indeed refreshing. This is an unconventional story with the second male lead as the protagonist. While the content itself isn't particularly exciting, its premise is its strength...
Why bother evaluating it with an appreciative eye?
First of all, congratulations on the completion! Thank you for your support. Now, let's get to the point. Why evaluate this novel with an appreciative eye? To be honest, the writing style and emotional depth of this novel are neither particularly good nor bad, but I just like it. Perhaps the author and some others will be unhappy to see this, but please let me finish what I have to say. Personally, I don't like those top-tier works that are praised for their excellent writing, emotional control, character descriptions, and fantastic plots. I don't like them; they're meaningless. I might use such works for study at most. I actually prefer this work by the author "Ice Mango," though this is partly due to my personal feelings. I don't know the author's experience...
A little disappointed
The second half was already a bit padded out, which was uncomfortable. However, the foreshadowing, which prevented the reader from seeing the ending all at once, did have some meaning. But the ending was truly disappointing. The female lead was practically decided before the halfway point, and the ending of their story was essentially uninteresting (because it was already known beforehand). The ending was so rushed, simply stating that they were together and that was it. This kind of writing is considered a poorly written summary on platforms like Qidian, essentially a bad ending. A novel's most important aspects aren't just the male and female leads; the stories of everyone else are also extremely important...
Personal feelings and evaluations
First, I was attracted by the book's title, so I took a look. Then I found the premise appealing, so I kept reading and followed it all the way to the end. The author's story isn't particularly outstanding, but it's definitely readable. Now that the book is finished… all I can say is "heh" (and then I start ranting). I've seen many people say the author's writing is weak, but I don't dislike that style, and then suddenly (the key point) it ended, which gave me a "surprise." The author clearly left many things unresolved! 1. What exactly was Wu's ending? You can say God didn't care, but we readers care a lot…
This book is also known as "As the Second Male Lead, I Pursued the Second Female Lead but Ended Up with the Fourth Female Lead".
I hate it, I really hate it.
Personally, I utterly despise the concept of "fate." Does everything have to be built on this? Are emotions and memories all forced upon us? Is friendship only witnessed because of the plot? Are feelings of liking or loving someone only possible because of the plot? Are these emotions so genuine because of the plot? To this, I can only offer five words—To hell with the gods! They brought this upon themselves; frankly, they've "gone astray." The genders they're assigned are all their fault. Now, everything is imposed upon them! Where is the genuine feeling? They want it but can only give up this incomprehensible...
Plain reality
I feel that many things in this book are too real. However, he transforms this realism into a divine form. At first, I didn't find it particularly interesting, but the more I read, the more I discovered its unique qualities. Compared to other light novels, it's closer to our lives and better reflects our emotions. For example, the fear that God instilled in them—aren't those also within us? I used to like a girl and wanted to confess my feelings to her. But when I stood in front of her, I didn't have the courage to say it. Indeed, some people are born different; they stand on a higher plane...
A slightly extreme opinion about the male lead
Unlike others, I didn't feel much for the other characters, but I had some thoughts about the male lead. I quite disliked him; he was useless yet didn't try, hoping his destiny would work its magic to make him stand out in competitions. He's no different from Wu, just with better luck. Initially, the synopsis was quite interesting, and I even thought there would be a story of a male lead striving for success. But his personality really disappointed me. For example, his athletic talent—he knows it's fake, so why doesn't he train on that foundation? At the very least, he should learn more techniques and train to gradually become a real athlete. Even if he couldn't achieve that, the process wouldn't be too...
Let's guess.
1. The male lead is Liu, the female lead is Qin, the second female lead is a rich girl, and the third female lead is even less well-off. 2. The loli's script intends for the male lead and female lead to be together. However, the male lead likes the rich girl, but the loli prevents them from being together. 3. The second female lead likes the second male lead, but the loli's script requires her to like the male lead, so her actions still give the impression that she is part of the male lead's harem. 4. After obtaining the destiny, the female lead uses her intelligence to analyze who else has the destiny and wants the benefits it brings, but she doesn't want to follow the plot and be with the male lead. Unfortunately, she is still tricked by the loli second male lead. 5. Su Qingluo might be a loli goddess or a goddess in disguise...
Revisiting a good book, it's a pity it wasn't popular, but it accompanied me through the most unforgettable time of my college entrance exam preparation.
