To be fair I didn't finish this yet because I forgot where I left off. I think I was near the end, who knows now haha Regardless, it's probably one of the best written novels. In terms of plot and characters especially comparing to these nowadays internet novels. This is a real adventure romance novel. This is not fluff.... more>>

I can't get back into this bc my soul was bleeding reading this. I'm a fluff with depth whore. This book is a romance drama of massive proportion. I can handle war, politics, etc but this is hard lol I'm too weak <<less

Still reading. This is a reincarnation loop novel with a very good growth on the MC. What makes this more entertaining than other reincarnation loops... more>> with system novels is the fact that a. Each Arc is actually pretty well written and compelling in its own way and b. There is a forward progression with the romance (wink* no spoiler tho) <<less

I add this with a high disclaimer to wait for a lot of chapters to be translated. Or just mtl it like I am doing... more>> rn. I haven't finished mtling it yet so it may or may not stay on this list, but as far as I see, it's staying. Omg I say wait for chapters because the ML is a HARD f*ckING PIECE OF ICE FOR LIKE A GOOD AMOUNT OF CHAPTERS. He straight up gives her almost no inch other than not explicitly saying no. It was to the degree I was angry on the part of the MC and amazed at her for her ability to pursue on confidence alone. But man, when the ICE FINALLY melts, dude it's worth. It's really sweet their relationship. When I say sweet, I mean hot wow f*ck.the ice melted <<less

I think I really enjoyed this. I can't remember now but it has a refreshing plot in it's own way. I think you really end... more>> up liking a number of guys she has seduced even if they all have their issues. I believe it's a good plot. <<less

Ok, Imo, very similar to jiaochen, except the build up to their chemistry is not as good as jiaochen. This is more fluff in the... more>> sense that the build up to their affection is less believable. Or maybe honestly the MC just had to work way f*cking harder in jiaochen lol. This is also more cliche but enjoyable cliche Imo this is second to jiaochen but this is still cute. Plus it has a translated drama <<less

Short & cute, what more do you want? Long & drawn out? It's bl who cares

If you are bothered by extremely good looking men easily falling in love with apparently the most good looking man/woman, then why the f*ck are... more>> you reading a harem book. Granted some are better written than others to develop love, but to be fair the genre itself has a suspension of logic ingrained into it's love relationships. If there's any consolation, the MC in the book is also enjoyably op and strong. If you find that cliche, don't read but I believe it's enjoyable. I think this book is cursed tho. It's so enjoyable and popular but for some reason cannot  find a consistent good translator. I put this on this list to beg for translations and torture you all. <<less

Ok I'm being mean to y'all adding this. But it's mostly bc I'm like !?? bc I know you see the words completed, but there's... more>> actually a book 2(??) that either didn't get completed or will never be translated? To be fair tho, where it ends does feel fairly complete especially if you're on the right ship. It has it's moments, but overall very quick paced enjoyable writing.  <<less

This book straight up upsets me. Like DONT GIVE MORE UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS FOR LOVE. It's too f*cking ridiculous. Ugh. Very cute romance. Has some wordy... more>> parts but when it has to do with the main characters and their romance, I think it's quite cute <<less

I will fight anyone who says this doesn't have a good love story as well (no one is saying it lol) bc this is the... more>> best love for a father (in small but great moments). But ultimately the music is astounding, the characters unrivaled, and the MC truly modest when he says "he's great". I agree with the review saying it's like watching your child grow up with the MC. This is how you do OPness right. I can tell you I loved every bit of his OPness and I want more forever. I know I said that but from around ch 272+ on you can kinda distinctly feel the author meandering & opness does get too much - I believe it's from the decrease in writing quality (telling v showing). But I think overall the story is entertaining & well written <<less

I really regret starting this because damn I love op girls like this. If you don't like your girls Mary Sue with great writing then... more>> leave but damn I love this. Sometimes you miss the days when patreon wasn't a thing but I'm grateful for the great translations <<less

(Update2: the storytelling is amazing!! Translators withholding PARTS of chapters for money convinced me to read ahead and finish it finally. The relationships become more important in the latter half but it's ofc v well written. It makes you fulfilled after reading it.) Capitalism is the devil's asswipe but if you don't like this, you're lying to yourself get out. Don't let me see your view list number here. Quality story, incredible character writing, comfy fluff, and amazing translations. If you don't give this a 5 stars get out. don't you dare try me and pull down this rating average. ... more>>

It's locked on betwixted I think.. Updated: it got unlocked and a new translator. Lem me just say *side eye* betwixted only split chs in 2 parts and never made money off of them ok... I know many ppl trying do a hustle but idk it's kinda not cool especially if you don't have the author's permission. Most of them make their translation broken ch parts cost more than the author would for writing their WHOLE chapter. Idk /randomrant <<less

Ok I feel like some of y'all could like this, however I admit there is some bs. HOWEVER in my defense, this book is an... more>> exception not a rule. It walks that fine line of low key angst and anticipation with that adolescent romance drama YA cocaine level addictive writing shit. And then the next thing you know you can't get it off your mind and you've mtl the whole thing. And although the ML does some f*cking questionable shit, hats off to this cocaine like writing for making you wait for him to change. Honestly it's kinda really good?? I mean I question my morals but this is addictive. <<less

The only bad part is the redundant expositions which maybe bc this might have been a chapter released novel. But besides that the MC here... more>> is a character you grow to like. See even I like my op girls and sometimes you just like them because you know they're "right & op" that's fine. The MC here is actually imo not someone you instantly like like that, which is a testament to the good writing. You actually get to know her and understand her and be like "shitttt I'm down with you."  The ML also is perfect only because you know why he is how he is, not because he's the perfect ml. You get what I'm putting down? Aka it's a really good (slightly wordy) royal ancient China novel. <<less

ITS SO GOOD I CRY. God everyone loves a green tea bit*h working for justice. But man low-key rant no one cares about, I'm all... more>> about ppl making some side coin with patreon but f*ck I hate it when they have a patreon for chapters when: a. They spilt parts that aren't that long imo b. They don't even name the split c. Honestly I'm not sure if it's ok to be profiting off of unofficial translations, I mean tbh who knows how good it really is (tbh some are really good but idk here lol I seriously don't). I mean I know taboo sorry translators r godz we lucky they alive and trying. Just ranting o godz don't hurt me. Yea yea I know I'm impudent. Anyways I'm just gonna try to find where this chap is to mtl... Ah seems like fyi ch 28 = real mid ch 8. Omg lol the irony of me ranting is that the awesome MC is also collecting patrons  <<less

I add this while reading it still. Imo if you compare this to FOD you will be disappointed. It has a similarish MC, but the... more>> writing is not as good. However it doesn't mean it isn't good, but evidently FOD is just superior. As long as you know that, some of y'all might enjoy this. I will say I don't specifically love this, but I only add it bc I am just picky and know some of y'all will enjoy it. Imo the 2nd book is just too much flashback. Superior writing like FOD seemed to seamlessly integrate it into the book. Ahh see I'm all f*cked up bc I keep comparing it. It's still good probably but just don't do what I'm doing. <<less

Still reading but this is really ENJOYABLE bl. If you like bl, I recommend. If you don't like bl, just ignore the smut and accept... more>> the love bc it's all the same. Also I find the details of wars pretty good and interestingly written. Gotta love a power couple. Also I'm pretty sure the 2nd couple is a tiger and a lion and I AM HERE FOR IT. Also my brain cannot stop laughing at the image of throwing away a whole bowl of wontons (bc you see someone hitting on your wife) to rush over. I CANNOT. FOR THE LIFE OF ME. STOP INTERNALLY LAUGHING. THE IMAGE. A WHOLE BOWL OF WONTONS. THROWN. IN THE AIR. GONE. (It's really just a sentence but why is this so hilarious) Has a manhua if you want too. <<less

OH I CANT. I REALLY CANT. ok if you've gotten this far, you probably know I love fluff. Most of these books are so fluffy you could fall from a ten story building into them and not die. But this gives me anxiety. Like I know this is good. But this hurts. Someone read this for me and leave me a comment telling me if it ends well. This is straight up like a retelling of beauty and the beast to me, including HORRIBLE HUMAN BEINGS VS "DEMON" BUT WE KNOW WHO THE REAL DEMONS ARE YA b*tchES HUMANS SUCK  AHHH. But really the ML demon is so cute and soft and I just want... more>> to hug &protect him so bad. This hurts. I add this bc I'm weak and I can't finish it yet but I know it's good. Also the MC is so good and she's working hard to be stronger. Ahhhh someone please help..

Update: Its completed now and I'm still emotionally not ready to continue this... Update 2: homiiie idk man lol my soul can't touch this still <<less

SO CUTE. You won't regret. Straight ppl come in. The bl is so pg. Honestly the idea of being able to see if a cold... more>> guy is happy  or not by a flower blooming behind his head is really damn author you hit the jackpot. Such a good cute idea. Applause* solid short fluff <<less

Homie I haven't even gotten to the romance yet, but god if this book doesn't end up a good book I'm gonna f*cking choke. I don't even care if this is a romance list, if you don't read this you have missed out. this crime plot is so deep and well written. I can't read this while also trying to function as a human and go to sleep on time IT IS THAT ENGROSSING. THE WRITING IS AMAZING. WTF. Ok there are crime novels that are like too gory and on riding on that alone to be "suspenseful & crimey & interesting" but this? This? THIS IS SO f*ckING DEEP. I'm like I can't even... more>> figure this out. The connections keep going, this works like real crime. This writing is just good. Not "just good for a translated Chinese novel." This is a BONAFIDE (treasure) good crime novel period. I am prepared to recommend this book to people who have never read Chinese online books as a full book to read disregarding there is bl (idk I haven't gotten there yet and I don't care bc I just want to know what happens next and I swear I don't believe this can't be amazing- AM I MAKING SENSE??). Also props to the author for also writing about a character who is straight, so many bl novels act like straight ppl don't exist lol which is fine but unrealistic. Me just in the midbeginning of the 2nd book: "ahhhh I don't have time to keep reading I have work tmw BUT I FEEL SO UNSAFE AHHHHH"

Update: finished and it is really that good. If you dislike books with real plot and well written characters then get out. I literally cannot comprehend why anyone would ever give this book less than a 5 rating unless you are incapable of appreciating good things. Don't f*cking try me. Don't you dare rate this if it's anything less than a 5. Like how dare u. How dare you come in here and disrespect me & good writing. <<less

I don't intend this to be a bl list but f*ck who made the bl romances so much more logical and enjoyable than most heteros*xual... more>> stories (I'm literally trying to find diamonds within sand all the time with those). Always this is fluff with real emotional depth. These are real characters and also a f*cking healthy relationship. I mean honestly WHAT MORE COULD U WANT. TAKE NOTES HETEROs*xual ROMANCES I BEG U <<less

 Disclaimer there is a harem tag, do expect what that tag delivers and whatever "unrealism" is involved. There's surprisingly a lot of plot for such a high smut novel. These smut scenes are hot which is good but I have to say I'm really intrigued by the MC and what happened and what will happen. Definitely a revenge story but it's written pretty f*cking well imo. It's no literary masterpiece but it's definitely not a dry hump. ... more>>

Updated: finished and this might be high handed to say but I genuinely think this is a feminist &  classism discussion book but obviously put in an unexpectedly "lowbrow" smut genre. The author is true to the MC to the very end & highly respectful to all mental & emotional issues. f*ck u if you just say she has a MC Halo. Yeah so what. She f*ckin deserves it. <<less

Update: I like this but not as much as I did when I started the story. It's still an enjoyable read imo. It is rounded up to a 4 star for me (but only bc I don't want to remove this and add something else esp now I have a pt 2 list)... more>>

The MC is perfection in the sense of being a real person. And dude the side characters are ACTUAL REAL PEOPLE. We are somehow also uncovering real familial issues here while doing a "casual" transmigration novel without ANY ANGST. Honestly the dynamic as well between the MC and ML is also very appropriate and healthy as of right now. I don't know what to say that is bad other than I guess I think the chapters are being split into 3 parts? Idk if that's from the original novel or the translator but I definitely just wish there was more. The translation is good imo too. (I will say I personally enjoyed the romance of "the first daughter doesn't care" more - it's later in this list. Idk why but I compare the two.) <<less

Still reading. I find the story and writing to be both satisfying and hella cute. Super funny actually. Really good humor. I mean I actually... more>> did laugh aloud reading it. I'm hoping it ends up well. Well idk I'll probably be tempted to MTL but honestly the translation is so good I feel like I should be a good patient child lmao. Bc this is a satisfying and hugely funny fluffy bl novel. The dynamic between the MC & ML is very equal as well imo <<less

Short and very respectable bl romance. It's fluffy but also somehow deep because I think the MC is portrayed very human like. The MC is... more>> never forcing the straight ML to fall in love with him however he struggles with his human emotions of being in love with him. Like I said, an incredibly respectable and rare bl romance. The MC truly loves the ML.  <<less
