Novels I'm reading/want to read and my opinions on them

For the stories i finish and review, please note that it is my personal opinion and you are entitled to disagree with me.

Most of these will be villainess/reincarnated stories, but I'm trying to incorporate different stories into this list. I enjoy all genres, if you have a story you'd like to recommend please tell me!

As I go along I put my (mostly) unfiltered thoughts on the novel, so hopefully you can easily find some stories you'd like to read based on my review.

note: the reviews are based on the number of chapters I have read so far~

i am warning you this is literally my guilty pleasure list lmao

Completed Drama Josei Psychological Tragedy

Ah, I haven't read a tragedy in a while. Now I remember why. If you're looking for something like Heroic Death System, this is similar in the fact there's angst. But this, this has no fluff. It's pain all the way through, and I totally loved it. hear me out: ... more>>

I really want to hate the MC. I want to slander her for being s*upid and silly and holding on to that one man, even though he treated her with such coldness. I want to scream at her for being way too possessive and resorting to terrible means... but I can't.

I can't.

She definitely wasn't an innocent and pure soul, but her love was definitely clear. She was just so stubborn and set on what she wanted. She loved him, and would get him. Her whole life was him, every detail made her happy. She was appeased with such little things. She did so much, get gained so little from him. She was just so optimistic and peppy, it hurts me so much to write this right now, remembering.

The whole story felt so very human. The leads were not perfect. No, not by a long shot. They had so many flaws, and they just felt wholly real. So f*cking sad the human condition is. it was so heartbreaking to read, because love will be mixed with all sorts of these ugly emotions He Yujin expresses.

She was truly, truly human after all. It's really devastating how she was the epitome of "living for love..." until she wasn't.

'Hi, Gao Fei. I'm He Yujin, let's be friends.' is what she said when she met him. And then she became his wife.

Too late, he wished he could say to her 'Hi, He Yujin. I'm Gao Fei, let's be friends.' and then become her husband.

I think if we only got the main story, I would have rated this much lower. In all honesty, I didn't really delve into the main story about He Yujin as much as I really went in with the Gao Fei's POV. It felt like He Yujin's story was a prologue to the pain and suffering happening later. To Gao Fei.

⚠️ SPOILERS INCOMING ⚠️ (spoilers will be marked with ⚠️ ):

⚠️ Something the translator said at the end, which I really think sums up this story:

Madmen – He Yujin; Gao Fei.

One was insane while she lived; the other was forced to insanity as he lived. Their love ended before it could begin. He Yujin will never know that, even without realising it, Gao Fei had already come to love her, and Gao Fei will never have the chance to tell her that, it turns out, his love for her was no less than hers for him.

⚠️ He Yujin loved too much; Gao Fei loved too late. This hit hard. Their love ended before it could begin, one loved too much and the other loved too late. Gao Fei's POV is also extremely human. It's the part that I really enjoyed, because it hurt so f*cking bad.

⚠️ He has a slow decent into madness, but denies all of it. It makes me wonder, if they really do get reunited back up there, would they be able to live out a beautiful dream? ⚠️

Another thing translator said: " There is one kind of love – I love you, and this has nothing to do with you, but I love you. There is another kind of love – I hate you, and I will never love you, but I will follow you in your death. "

Perfectly sums up this story.

in all I give this a 11/10, thanks for breaking my tear ducts. <<less

But the ML, poor guy. Every time he gets with Shang Ke, they're brutally ripped away from each other since Shang Ke dies. But beautifully, you know? ... more>>

just realized i have a super thing for online/e-sport novels... or maybe that's just because i particularly enjoy the "well-known love interest meets well known MC" trope. Whichever one it is, i love it.
