“The shock! An honest office worker was reborn into the body of a swindler, to think he actually became a man who does this sort of thing…The feng shui community had always declared Lin Zhushui to be omniscient, but it seems that his only miscalculation was his destined marriage to Zhou Jiayu.... more>>

Zhou Jiayu always had a mild nature, his skin was thin and tender, and his bones, brittle and soft. He never expected that what he feared the most after his rebirth wasn’t actually provoking someone’s displeasure.

Zhou Jiayu: Before I was reborn, I had always believed I’d be a devoted socialist successor, but then I became a charlatan and even encountered a big-shot fortune-teller,

Lin Zhushui: Are you happy being with me?

Zhou Jiayu: I’m happy! So happy I could die! But, Boss, if you could just stop thinking about meals with me as a menu item every single day, I’d be even happier.

Lin Zhushui: Not possible.

Zhou Jiayu: …” <<less

One day, Li Yu transmigrated into a fish. Furthermore, this fish even had a master. This master was the sinister and terrifying, mute tyrant from a novel. The system gave Li Yu a task. If he wanted to change back into a human, he had to obtain the tyrant’s heart.... more>>

Li Yu full of tears: System, please wake up. I’m only a fish. He can’t even speak. How can we interact?

System: Stop jabbering. To take down the tyrant, you must attack his heart.

Li Yu: Can I ask, does the tyrant have a heart–

Li Yu did his best to blow bubbles at the tyrant, but ended up being captured by the tyrant and raised carefully in a huge, ginormous…… fish tank. The life of a fish was filled with all sorts of blessings.

Everyday, Mu Tianchi watched the little carp swim around happily, pondering when this fish would finally transform into a human.The little carp didn’t know. It’s not that the tyrant had no heart, it’s just that he already gave it away to the little carp that accidentally saved his life.

Review: very fluffy, ML really treats MC like an equal and doesn’t fuss around when he realizes his feelings. I like how people of this novel realize something’s wrong with MC when *SPOILER* his scales changes color.  <<less

The protagonist shou, Xie Sui, was a proud son of heaven. He had an illustrious family background, was cold and removed from desire, and attracted many (psychopathic) admirers. From the gentle senior to the paranoid president, to the haughty and proud arch-enemy, these big guys were all top leaders of their respective fields, yet they were all crazy about him.... more>>

After pushing him down a series of mentally and physically abusive paths, the three of them decided to join hands to destroy the Xie Family, imprison Xie Sui, crush his pride, and turn him into a pet that could only rely on them.

While the crowd of readers howled “Wuwuwu the feels~”, Song Yu was already so angry he was going crazy. Not wanting to read any more of this eye-searingly bad novel, he cursed, “Idiots.” and hurried offline.

As a result, when he woke up, he’d transmigrated.

He’d transmigrated to become the Third Young Master of the Song Family in the novel, who had only been briefly mentioned in passing, would die of a terminal illness, and was Xie Sui’s childhood friend.Song Yu was terribly upset. At the same time, he’d already come to a decision in his heart––those three idiots, had better not think about wanting to get close to his little childhood friend!

*Xie Sui was born cold-hearted. In two lifetimes, he’d never tasted the sweetness of love, nor had he ever experienced the feeling of being protected.

After destroying three big families and personally killing his enemies, he was reborn back to when he was 15 years old. He had to hide the violence and coldness in his heart and pretend to be the youth with a gentle and clean appearance that he’d been in the past.

Everything was the same as before, except that the little childhood friend who was nothing but a vague memory in his previous life was exceptionally different this time.

Like the spring breeze that thawed the frozen soil, someone reached into the abyss and grabbed his blood-stained hand.

*Song Yu tore apart a love confession letter like he was venting and fumed, “Don’t pay attention to those people, don’t believe in their sweet words. They’re all scum, and their love is worthless. Don’t like them, okay?”

Xie Sui gazed at him for a long time, then laughed, “Alright, I don’t like them.”

I only like you. <<less

“As a new anchor of StarTV, Yu Yan’s ruthless tr*sh-talk, natural rifle-shooting skills, and character of never searching houses earned him a big crowd of fans.... more>>

He felt like he was a good anchor who treated all fans of his stream equally—you can suck at the game, you can get knocked down, but if you want the gun in my hand, sorry, no way man.

Until he heard the voice of the streaming platform’s Big Boss.

Yu · ultimate voice-con · Yan: I’m not familiar with this game, swap my Kar98k for your Mini-14.

Yi · brand new noob · Chen: En.

Friend: Daddy, I want to snipe too!

Yu Yan: I think this frying pan suits you very well.

Not-a-very good gamer but dripping with money and looks Big Boss vs Cute, super good tr*sh-talking gunslinger voice-con Anchor.”

Review: extremely sweet! The MC is so obvious with his little crush on ML heheh, showing such blatant favoritism in front of so many people. ML is no better, except he shows his favoritism behind the screen <<less

“Recently, my childhood buddy has been giving me some very ambiguous signs. Is he trying to turn me gay?”

“BL manhua artist, Ti Xiao, has been single for many years. As such, he is under constant pressure to find a partner and get married. His family’s little niece shipped him together with her school’s English teacher to form a CP. The editor at work also want to introduce their friend to him.... more>>

One day, a new neighbour moved in next door. He couldn’t help but notice that he seemed kind of reserved and cold. After getting a glimpse of him, he was ready to make trouble. He used his numerous ninja skills to discover his new neighbour’s identity. It turned out he was the English teacher at his niece’s school! Not only did he like his work and was his fan, but he was also his editor’s friend!”

Review: a light and fluffy novel!  <<less

“Ever since I was reborn ah, I received affections from that scum* ~... more>>

This harem has three thousand beauties, but he only favors me!

So I tried to persuade him ah, must ‘rain~ nectar~ evenly~ spread~ ‘** , but he just won’t listen!

He just spoiled me alone!”

———

Review: although unrealistic as in the emperor’s actions of spoiling MC alone won’t happen if actually placed in real life (since the emperor’s position will be threatened if he doesn’t have women to help maintain his connections and bear him heirs), it feels good to read about a couple loyal to each other. I wish there was an extra chapter after the 8th chapter, just to better conclude the ending. <<less

“Chi Yan had always had a weak constitution, and ghosts had always tried to kill him. He had tried many ways to change his situation, but it was all futile.Coincidentally, Third Master Ye of Shiming City passed away, and a priest informed Chi Yan that Third Master Ye possessed the “look of demon,” Carrying a bit of this man’s ashes and installing an altar for him at home could help control the evil spirits around Chi Yan.... more>>

Left with no choice, Chi Yan took a gamble. Amazingly, it worked. However he didn’t expect that he’d be instead be haunted by the most persistent ghost of them all.Obsessed with love, undying resentment, possessed by evil.”

Review: in terms of romance and plot, it doesn’t stand out as much as the others, but....damn, it’s probably one of the few BL novels out there that can really be called ‘horror’! It’s not the kind of horror that’s bloody and gruesome, but it’s the kind that just gives you chills from reading it. I had to sleep with the lights on after reading this novel... <<less

Review: I really liked this novel because it stood out amongst the new trend of “MC-overpowering-ghosts” type stories, but I didn’t like how there were SO many men chasing after MC. Tbh, one or two is fine, but when every powerful person falls in love with MC, I’m just....speechless? I hate harems with an intense passion (it’s a deep deep hatred) so that’s why it’s so low on my list despite having my three most favourite genres—comedy, BL, and horror. <<less

“After being unemployed for a long time, Feisha Shi finally found a new job – the front desk manager at the oldest hotel in the universe.... more>>

This hotel has a fallen angel, vampire, werewolf, faerie, dwarf, titan, invisible person… just no humans.

This hotel serves customers who are fallen angels, vampires, werewolves, faeries, dwarves, titans, invisible people… still no humans.This hotel’s name?

Noah’s Ark.”

Review: Honestly, it was the ending that made me add it to this list. The MC’s and ML’s love for one another feels much more genuine than other novels I’ve read. There’s some angst, but it’s healthy angst :) it only lasts a few chapters anyways lol <<less

“After crossing to become a bankrupt supporting male lead, unable to pay the utility bill, blocked from finding a job on the whole network, Chen Zhang decided …… to first get rich with an autobiography.... more>>

Passerby A, B, C: Junk novel, whoever reads it is a silly X!

Then–they all secretly become Chen Zhang’s readers.

Later, “Confessions” was updated.

Netizens: His ideas are exhausted, it was just a momentary whim.

Netizens: …… You won! ! !”

Review: novel is great; the translation is slightly jarring and confusing, but it gets better after a few chapters. This novel focuses more on comedy than romance, although the romance is also slowly developing. The ML’s just a bit too innocent, lol <<less

“The tavern owner’s son, Ilya, often experienced the same dream. A dream in which he played in the village orphanage with his childhood friend, a boy whose appearance resembled an angel’s. A dream where he made soap with olives and soup with leftover vegetables. But the moment Ilya laid eyes on the picture of the “Icy Hero,” he realized that those dreams weren’t dreams at all; rather those were the memories of his past life. Most importantly, that “Icy Hero,” Riley, wasn’t angelic anymore?!”... more>>

Review: worth the add just for MC’s and ML’s encounter <<less

Have you heard? There’s a certain kind of person in this world, who, even without any substantial contact, and with just a flash of thought, can discern a lot.... more>>

Their eyes have the ability to penetrate through to the past, to clarify the present and to break the veil of the future. They can see what you see through your eyes, smell what you smell through your nose, taste what you taste through your tongue, and can even perceive what you think through your heart.

This kind of a person is called—a psychic.A story about the awakening of a ‘guabi’, who is merely plodding through life, from his deep slumber.

(*guabi, a slang term, meaning ‘dead idiot’ = people who are penniless and jobless)

———

Thoughts: So far, I’m loving the novel. Although the MC seems more like a bystander quietly watching the world’s characters and story progress towards its end, he does show human-like characteristics and is seemingly becoming more human through his interactions with others (although he does retain that ‘bystander aura’ of his. As of now (ch 68), I have no idea who the ML is. All I know is that quite a few men are falling for MC’s charms, which makes me a little worried because I loathe harems. I’ll leave this story in this ranking for now, because I can’t fully judge until it’s complete. <<less
