Completed
Novels I've finished reading, mostly BL, mostly wuxia and xianxia, though I don't restrict myself to any particular genre. Reviews are purely for the purpose of remembering the plot of each novel and any problems I had with it/particularly enjoyable things I got out of it. In no particular order.

Pretty emotional this one is finally completed! As much as was lost on me on my first read-through (I will definitely be rereading this someday) I could still parse together enough to tell what a sweeping and overwhelming story is contained in one little book! Cang Ji and Jing Lin are two of the most delightful characters I've ever had the pleasure of encountering with a romantic dynamic that, frankly, is hard to top for me. It's a beautifully written, beautifully translated masterpiece that I highly recommend for anyone who loves extraordinary detail and complexity in their webnovels (and doesn't mind some absolutely excruciating angst to get to the just as painfully sweet ending)! 8/10... more>>

Holy moly! Read this one in like three or four days! I really couldn't put it down! It's such a fantastic story with great characters and a lot of good humor/fluff plus just a nice sprinkling of angst to really put it over the edge. I don't have anything bad to say about this one lmao I couldn't recommend it more!... more>>

Put this one on hold for MONTHS when it was revealed that the couple is reversible because I was a little taken aback lol, but for some reason couldn't stop thinking about it recently and so actually finished it in a single night! And I'm really glad I did, because despite the aforementioned reason AND not being a fan of established couples either, this novel is simply stellar. The translation is great quality, which is really beneficial as there's a heavy emphasis on political intrigue and history in this particular novel (yay for me!). The writing is absolutely superb and the two main characters are so well fleshed-out with such a sugar sweet relationship that... more>>

Mmm... this one way just okay I think? Please take everything I say here with a grain of salt as the translation quality left something to be desired (though I will say it was very tidy and consistent, so major kudos to this first-time translator for that). Basically, the MC is a disciple/warrior of a (maybe the only?) 'holy' sect and is sent to infiltrate a (again, the only?) demonic sect via seduction of our ML, the sect leader. It's a very simple premise, clearly; I'm actually impressed the author managed to get 82 whole chapters out of it, though they were quite short. Definitely this novel is a comedy, comedy, comedy, so a lot... more>>

(Copied from original review) MC (Jing Beiyuan/Jing Qi) lives six lifetimes in various forms loving/attempting to support the crown prince of his country in his journey to the throne but is killed by said crown prince in all of them; this story follows his seventh lifetime, second in his original human body, as he supports the crown prince with no more love in his heart and instead (very slowly) falls for the ML (Wu Xi), a hostage from the country of Nanjiang he cares for. This is the first novel by priest I've finally (finally!!) read in its entirety, mostly because A. it's pretty short and manageable, length-wise, for a webnovel and B. it's historical... more>>

I... am actually sobbing LOL this is by far one of the best webnovels I've been lucky enough to read so far. As someone who has doubted priest's writing and the hype she receives ever since I got into danmei and webnovels in general I was absolutely blown away and then some. The plot, the romance, the characters, the writing - everything is just beyond perfect. I don't even know where to start going into specifics because there's so much that I could talk about and emphasize the skill, thought, and talent behind. Briefly put, my previous summary of the plot is below so I won't go into it again, but I will say it... more>>

Tentatively putting this here while keeping it in my reading list due to the fact that I've now finished the edited MTL version of this. Therefore all my thoughts should be taken with several grains of salt. Simply put, I loved this novel and it remains one of my favorites. Do I necessarily recommend it? No, especially not considering the proper translation is still ongoing. Do I think it was a perfect novel by any means? Also no. Meatbun clearly had a ton of ideas going into this work and wrangled probably over a dozen plots actually fairly well, which is deeply commendable and I genuinely think she did a good job at managing them.... more>>

*bursts into tears* I love this novel so much. I don't even know why I loved it so much I just do. It's definitely up right alongside Mo Du as my favorite priest novel. From a technical standpoint, Mo Du is better, but from a personal standpoint I think ZJLY might be my actual favorite... I've already gone into a lot (a LOT) of pondering about the novel and its plot and characters below so I won't get into it so much here, but I will emphasize again how important it is to understand that this novel functions first and foremost, and therefore best, as a character study of Su Qing. It's about him, his... more>>

Really thoroughly enjoyed this one! The two main characters were very unique and well-rounded and their dynamic wasn't one easily found in most danmei, so it was exciting to see their romance unfold in a nontypical way. The plot was also pretty good (slightly hard to follow with the translation), sort of akin to lord seventh in how it revolved around the age-old question of just Who will ascend the throne. I thought the resolution was very satisfying and not too idealistic because Yu She and Zhong Wan would both be giving up probably about a decade of their lives to teach Xuan Yu how to be a good ruler, but at the same time... more>>

Sequel to Zhongji Lanyin featuring Kou Tong (scientist) and Huang Jinchen (ex-sniper) and their exploits during the incidence of a technological malfunction wherein they get trapped in a sort of psychological dimension with a host of other characters. More than assessing whether I /liked/ this one or not, I think it's truer to say it was simply a very good book. The two main characters are both equally hilarious and equally damaged, connected by a thin string of similar childhood circumstances that leads to them very quickly falling in love in the oddest of situations. They had a very interesting and unique dynamic (with priest's trademark "two gongs" trope) and despite the fact that they... more>>

I f*cking love this novel so much. Was crying over the last chapter because it was so bittersweet to say goodbye to Scarf CP T__T Looking at my past comments is such a riot because...there's just so many plot twists that I didn't expect in the slightest! This book feels very chunky and full with about six different plotlines at various points throughout the book (transmigration, sci-fi survival show with seven wildly different themed matches, evil genetic modifying organization, traveling into the subconscious - twice, with different settings both times, amnesia...and probably more that I've already forgotten) but honestly? The author does a pretty damn good job of handling the reins on all the content they... more>>

Finishing this one is a little bit emotional as reading the weekly chapter updates has been the first thing I do every Monday morning for the better part of the past year T___T I truly, genuinely enjoyed this book; I think it would be easily dismissed as self-indulgent p*rn by most (and there's certainly plenty of that here, don't get me wrong) but I still believe at the same time that it has a lot more to offer than just that! I started reading it sort of as a joke with myself, but as I continued keeping up with it I found myself genuinely growing attached to the characters and their romance. There's unexpected rises... more>>
