   (I've already written a long review, so I won't go into too much detail.) The protagonist is a criminal who goes to atone for his sins by visiting girls in different worlds. It has a dark and intense atmosphere, and the protagonist is the one being abused. Watch with caution, or you might get too engrossed and lose your way.

2. 2 少 The Girl and the Dragon 少女与龙 Heart-Stopping Chess Match棋场惊心Western Fantasy139k WordsCompleted No romance, no passion, no politics, and no adventure. Just a story about a girl and a dragon. (Note: Tragedy. If that's not your thing, please don't read.) 0Tickets448.5kClicks9.6kFavorites

   Curator note

   As the title suggests, it is a story about a girl and a dragon. It is not dark, but realistic, depicting the ignorance and naivety of ordinary people and the cowardice and cunning of the upper class. The ordinary daily life of the dragon and the girl can be sweet without you even realizing it, and the climax of the story brings a different kind of joy.

3. 3 黑 The Corrupted Beauty Is Actually Me 黑化美少女竟是我自己 Final Fantasy March最终幻想进行曲Campus1.1M WordsCompleted (Gender-bender, female protagonist, yandere girl's first-person perspective) I want to possess you. I want to be the only one by your side. Anyone who gets close to you will be eliminated. If you try to run away, I'll punish you. I'll use any means necessary, dirty, evil, despicable, and vile, all just to keep you by my side forever and ever. I'm Lu Lele, a beautiful girl forced by a strange god to play the role of a yandere.

   The protagonist in the author's story is forced to become a yandere (obsessive/obsessive) character in various BL (Boys' Love) visual novels to seduce the main characters. Some of the settings in the story are quite interesting. I recommend you check it out.

4. 4 你 Do You Think I'm a Monster? 你觉得我是怪物吗 Strongest War God J5最强战神J5Western Fantasy181k WordsOngoing The apocalypse arrives, and reality falls apart... She is both unfortunate and lucky... She is unlucky enough to turn into a monster, but lucky enough to retain her humanity and not become a monster that eats people. She sets out on a path beyond humanity. Gradually, she discovers...

   The writing was delayed, but it's still decent, with a touch of madness in it. I wouldn't particularly recommend this book.

5. 5 吸 The Vampire Princess's Two Lives as a Tyrant 吸血姬的两世暴君 Meow Ni Ma in the Dark黑暗中的喵尼玛Western Fantasy840k WordsOngoing You were once my one and only, but you sent me to that icy execution ground...

   Curator note

   The story of a vampire princess, the most beloved concubine of the former empress, and the empress who has been waiting for her beloved for over two thousand years. The concubine's despair and the empress's madness are recurring themes in the story, while the vampire princess is a crucial character who drives the narrative forward. Written from the perspective of the vampire princess, this story may be off-putting for those who dislike oppressive or dark narratives.

6. 6 三 A Thirty-Year-Old Office Drone Can't Possibly Be a Magical Girl 三十岁的社畜不可能是魔法少女 Xu Xu絮绪Western Fantasy149k WordsOngoing They say... A corporate drone who remains chaste until the age of thirty becomes a great mage! But... isn't that just a meme!? Why did it actually happen!? Gender-swap harem + slice of life 0Tickets410kClicks3.5kFavorites

   Curator note

   The writing leans towards a dark and realistic tone, with only a few slice-of-life scenes and few climaxes. The entire text is filled with a sense of oppression, so those experiencing hardship in life should read with caution.

7. 7 原 So I Died a Thousand Years Ago 原来我死在一千年前 Chang Chang De Ge Ya Chang Ji Bian长长的歌呀唱几遍Mystery140k WordsOngoing As a child, she witnessed a catastrophe at home with her own eyes. All her family members were slaughtered by their enemies. She fled the family in a stumbling escape, but who is hunting her now? A fate she cannot escape, and fourteen years gone from her memories...

   The article was abandoned a long time ago, and it's not very long, but it's quite good. The things the protagonist (male) suffers are things that people can experience in real life.

8. 8 请 Please Don't Tell My Boyfriend I'm a Guy 请别告诉我男朋友我是个男生 Bierde's Tears彼尔德的眼泪Urban174k WordsCompleted That surgery two years ago took everything from him. He thought he could erase his past by starting a new life. But the marks left by life... aren't so easy to erase. "What if your boyfriend found out... that the girlfriend he thinks about day and night is actually a man, just like him?" His body began to tremble as someone exposed his most secret scar, the past he never wanted to revisit. "Why... why would you?" He couldn't tell if he was pleading or furious. "Because I hate you."

   Curator note

   The story is both ordinary and extraordinary. The narrative continuously depicts the characters' inner thoughts and the protagonist's unavoidable circumstances. The protagonist's agonizing search for release, and the disbelief and grief of those who love him upon learning of his death, become the highlight of the entire story.

9. 9 天 Everything Went Wrong from the Start, Then I Met My Evil God Wife 天崩开局，然后遇到邪神老婆 Lazy Cat懒觉猫Western Fantasy1.4M WordsCompleted Zhuo Hua, female, a transmigrator.

   Curator note

   It tells the story of a girl with a twisted personality and her wicked wife (an octopus cat-headed creature) who is in love with the protagonist. Their relationship is fraught with difficulties and twists, yet it is also realistic. The cat-headed creature is innocent and straightforward, the protagonist struggles with both life and death, and the decisions he is forced to make for the sake of survival.

10. 10 世 When the World Withers 世界凋零之时 Iced Cola cc冰镇可乐ccSci-Fi674k WordsOngoing Ye Yuyao wakes from a coma to find that the whole world has changed. But it isn't just the world that's changed... (A story about a girl who transforms and struggles to survive in a zombie-ravaged apocalypse.) (Single protagonist, slight yuri leanings. Don't read if that's not your thing.) (No mutations, no special powers. A realistic apocalypse story, with some graphic and depressing content. Read with caution.) 0Tickets1.5MClicks11.8kFavorites

    Curator note

    It's a post-apocalyptic story, but without flashy superpowers or terrifying mutated zombies. The story revolves around the protagonist's survival journey and explores the inherent evil of human nature. There are a few minor flaws. Updates are slow, but there are no abandoned chapters. The author updates monthly, but there are many chapters now, so you can check it out.
