   Substitution romance. A magical girl-themed work (but pure love). The male protagonist will develop very delicious twisted emotions. Updated daily.

   A romance novel featuring a demon hero and a medieval setting, blending elements of card games with a twist on romance. The running illustrations perfectly match the characters and aesthetics, which is a plus. Daily updates.

She had once been a man in his thirties, but now she had become a little girl of unknown origins. In this world, civilization had developed in a nonlinear fashion: farming and herding, gears and steam, electricity and automation, flying through the skies and diving beneath the seas, arcane alchemy, mechanical will...

   "Change" is probably a single, but it's a very good isekai (another world) novel. As the title suggests, it's a slow-paced, garden-style travelogue rather than a typical shonen (kingly hero) power struggle story. The pace is a bit slower. Based solely on its quality, it deserves a five-star rating, and the author doesn't even charge a fee. The only downside is the slow update speed, but it's great that it keeps updating. Without a doubt, this is Pineapple Bun's best novel.

His archenemy, a villainous young lady, bought him, only for him to discover that she was already married to another woman. "I hate you. You're going to suffer in my hands." His archenemy's daily "revenge" forced him to bow his proud head and pretend to be a good little puppy for his two masters... As if! Bowing his head was out of the question. He was gorgeous now, so of course he'd go after her h 0Tickets2.6MClicks23.4kFavorites

   A story of one against many, set in a Western-style alternate universe, featuring a stubborn but soft-hearted defeated villain as the protagonist, with a slightly angsty happy ending. Its strengths lie in its natural emotional portrayal and smooth transitions. The main plot revolves around the mutual torment between the protagonist and his equally stubborn yet soft-hearted childhood friend, which is quite enjoyable. The protagonist's attitude towards ordinary people is also surprisingly positive. The downside is that the gameplay is rather bland (maybe I'm just too twisted 🤔). Whether you can accept the protagonist's suffering before you can accept each other depends on personal preference. The update is stable.

5. 5 暗 A Dark-Themed Girl Would Never Fall to the Dark Side 暗黑系少女绝对不会善堕 A Dream of Yellow Millet, Dreaming of the Mortal World黄粱一梦梦凡尘Mystery1.4M WordsOngoing “Do you know what a psychopath is?” “It's a type of antisocial personality disorder, except it's congenital.” “An abnormality in the genes causes damage to the front of the brain.” “So these patients are missing certain things from their brains. As a result, they have no emotional capacity or empathy.” “Naturally, they have no sense of morality and never feel guilt or regret.” “They lie compulsively and are good at pretending and deceiving others. They can imitate normal people's feelings and th 37Tickets4.3MClicks26.6kFavorites

   Transmigration. A pure love story with minor supernatural and mystery elements, featuring a good moral character and few competing works. It fills the void of protagonists in gloomy but often lackluster transmigration stories. The current updates have entered a chaotic era, but I choose to believe!

6. 6 反 The Villainous Prince Became the Princess Everyone Loves 反派皇子成为了众人之爱的皇女 Bai Zhi Ye Qi白芷夜七Western Fantasy294k WordsOngoing [This book will not be put on sale] How many bad things does a person have to do before God will give them another life to make amends? Eric, a failed villainous prince, opened his eyes after reaching his death ending and found himself reborn as the beloved princess, "Ellie." The once tall and imposing person he had been was now a frail, sickly princess. Her illness, which sounded like a short life sentence, seemed to be urging her to make the most of her limited time and atone for her sins. 1Tickets329.7kClicks4.3kFavorites

   Marriage Transformation. A slice-of-life story in a fictional world, featuring a gravity-based protagonist. It's delicious and free. Updates are also quite frequent. This book is no longer available.

It was his first pet, and he grew so fond of it that he cherished it like his own heart. Later, the pink slime disappeared. Not long after, he met a beautiful girl with pink hair and pink eyes. Even her fur was pink. Her whole body was soft and supple, so very enticing. During the darkest days of his life, the girl stayed by Qiong En's side, and they shared an unforgettable time together.

   A marriage of convenience, pure love. Actually, I'd like to recommend this author's earlier works, but it seems I can't post them. This one is relatively lighthearted, doesn't require much brainpower, and I've done everything I needed to at the moment. Daily updates.

   A fantasy drama about a woman who is forced to marry someone else. The writing is solid, but the protagonist's morals are questionable, which made it difficult for me to read. This is a matter of personal preference. Contains 4I (a genre of fantasy fiction). Updated daily.

"Besides, you left one out." "What?" "You're also my biggest fan." 0Tickets449kClicks5.3kFavorites

   Curator note

   A modern urban drama about a woman who becomes a star and falls in love with her manager. It also includes some industry knowledge, which is quite interesting. The downside is the poor way the sources are cited; frankly, it has an AI-like feel. Hopefully, it can be made more human. Daily updates.

    "Transformation Marriage" is a story set in 2010s Japan, about a spirited high school boy and a female protagonist whose soul is that of a salaryman, developing a game together. The male protagonist's character is well-developed, and the author's knowledge of games is very meticulous (I've learned some strange things again. JPG). Double update.

Her only golden finger was an ordinary-looking card box. Whenever she shook it, a card would pop out now and then, and she could use it to control the person depicted on it. The first card showed a boy from the bottom of society. He was poor, but he could fight. All right, you're the one. And so Elena began her life behind the scenes: By day, she pretended to be frail.

    Transmigration, fantasy. A transcendent path set in a Western-style, esoteric Buddhist context, with a solid foundation. Its current weakness lies in the lack of a main storyline. It was cancelled; the inevitable result of lacking an outline.

    Curator note

    A fantasy story about a resurrected hero who, to atone for his past mistakes, decides to serve the current hero. It features monsters, magic, and a kingdom. This twisted emotion is precisely why it's so captivating. The downside is the uncertainty surrounding the romance. It seems that despite having a partner (the second female lead's feelings were clearly shown earlier), is he determined to become single? While I accept singlehood and palace intrigue, the "loser" type isn't in my preferred genre. Daily updates.

    A story of marriage transformation, Western fantasy, and a protagonist with no emotional arc. Its strengths lie in its solid writing style and premise. However, it may require a certain reading threshold due to the frequent shifts in perspective. Updates are stable.
