these stories weren’t just words on a page—they were worlds i stepped into. some spoke to me gently, others ripped through me without warning. they held mirrors, and reminded me how deeply humans can feel. these are stories that left a kind of quiet chaos in their wake. the kind that don’t scream for attention but hold you captive in the quietest ways. stories like these aren’t just read—they’re seen. and remembered. ... more>>

in short, these are novels that feel complete and kept me awake.

Mfs after creating a list be like 'I am going to read these novels' then never read them, let everything gather dust, run out of space, and end up creating yet another list just to shove even more novels into it. Next thing you know, they’re building a fortress out of unread novels. That’s me. I am mfs.... more>>

Books where I listened to the Audio drama in Chinese first (some, I read later because the audio drama was so good). Given that I can only understand about 70-80% of what is said, reviews might not be 100% accurate. Also, factors like voice actors' talent and OST/BGM will factor into the rating. ... more>>
