Interesting at first but a bit too dragging and repetetive for my liking. FL barely has any character development. Though I like that she's more realistic as a modern transmigrated woman in terms of skills and thinking, she ended up having some sort of invincible, lovable halo overriding that good point so she never need to learn and reflect. FL is also literally made out of paper and it started getting really funny how she gets injured so much and that leads to guys falling for her and becoming more protective. I should have counted how many times she got injured or got into an accident before I stopped. ... more>>

    Other dropped stuff not on NU (1):

    • Fake Young Master is Green Tea / 假少爷在豪门当绿茶 - 22/121. Spoiled fake young master complains grievances to uncle who likes him. I have a big problem with this: GROOMING. It's not even "feels like" kind of thing. It really is grooming jsjdkdkd. Okay like:

    1. MC is newly 18 years old and ML is probably late 20s. Maybe 28 or smth so that's around a 10 year age gap.

    2. ML is technically MC's uncle but he knew 10 years ago (He's 18~ and MC's only 8) that MC wasn't blood related. 

    3. He's been spoiling MC since childhood. MC is naturally very close to him because of all the petting. ML has positioned himself in MC's life enough to be able to say sh*t like "[MC's] dependence is engraved in his bones". 

    4. They have a very weird way of interacting with each other. Like, ML calls MC "baby" and there's forehead kisses, bites, hugs, touches and etc. that can be seen as ambiguous. MC is unintentional but ML is reacting towards it and responding. The only thing keeping him from doing more is that he's waiting for MC to realize that things are different now. Hello sir you are an adult you could have guided this child and this could have been adjusted long ago if you stopped condoning this way of interaction. But you like it so you just let it happen even if it makes you "tempted". *curses*

    5. Even subordinates could see that ML is very special towards MC and he's has been for a long time now. That just irks me the hell out. f*ck, I'm scared to know how long ago was it that ML has his thoughts on him because no matter whatever the answer is it is BAD because AGE DIFFERENCE. MC will have been a minor back then!!! ML is a goddamn adult!!! Do y'all think this is okay?!?!?

    6. Well, people around them really are ok with all this. Some even comment that MC is slowly getting "enlightened" whenever MC finally realizes they're a bit ambiguous and gets shy and whatnot. *shivers in disgust* "Enlightened" my ass people have been slowly groomed to this point what f*ckin enlightenment is this? 

    7. ML also intervenes in other parts of MC's life including his friends. Friends have gone through background checks and he even has inserted one of his people near MC so this "friend" can act as a bodyguard in critical times and report if necessary. You can think of it as "awww he cares about MC's safety" but this goes beyond protection, it is directly manipulating people around you.

    8. Remember: ML can do all these things because he is an ADULT man who was many years older than MC and holds considerable power in his hands. But more importantly, he's an ELDER to be respected and looked up to. He's MC's uncle for crying out loud. MC can be coquettish to him and that's natural because they're supposed to be family. He took advantage of that to get close to a minor who trusts him and keep them by his side. Add to that situation the fact that MC just found out he doesn't have a family so he's in a vulnerable situation and would want to find love and care from people around him. Friends aren't available and can't fully support him, only "uncle" can. ML has made himself the most important person left in MC's life how could MC say no?

    If feelings between them happened organically after MC found out he wasn't biologically related I might still understand. The age gap and former elder status is a bit iffy but negligible. I can see it as two adults making a decision to be together. But MC's growth as a person and feelings towards ML is inseperable to all of ML's actions. Even if he's 18 he's not an independent individual who can live on his own and clearly deal with his own situation so it just feels wrong. 

    Had ML treated MC as a proper elder as is his responsibility, we would have a very different MC and a very different story. Maybe MC might have different thoughts about love if he wasn't treated ambiguously by his "uncle". Maybe if he wasn't spoiled lawlessly, he'd be a more sensible person and can better deal with complex new relationships on his own instead of finding a backer. There are many "ifs" and "maybes" 

    I have so many thoughts on this whew it is still very fresh. Many feelings too, mostly disgust hahaha. God I only read 22 chapters and I already have this much to say. I dunno if it'll get worse. Probably will? Dang I just wanted to read a "tyrant chases and spoils his wife" trope but I got this instead.

    Other dropped stuff not on NU (6):

    • Your Majesty has a White Moonlight in his Heart / 陛下心中有个白月光 - BG. I wasn't very far into it but I just remember feeling so tired reading this. Good god f*cking talk to each other and be honest please jdkdkdkdks.

    • Transmigrate Today and Attack Later / 穿今之天后来袭 - BG. Demon girl MC is a bit too powerful. It's not a bad Mary Sue novel i guess but such types of novels have limited appeal to me. The moment the charm and interest wears off I don't feel like reading anymore. Too bad tho since I was a bit interested in the ML and their love story. Reached 76/197 ch and there's not much on ML yet. Maybe someday but not today.

    • I Will Sell Buns in the Future / 我在未来卖包子 - Weird ass story. I'm not far from finishing (45/64 ch) but it really isn't my vibe I guess. 

    • The Great General and the Little Xiucai [Rebirth] / 大将军与小秀才[重生] - I love scholar × soldier type stories & family stories so I was excited for this but *sighs*. MC was a bit too omnipotent and I don't vibe with plant/demon baby. I just wanted a regular, fluffy, ancient time martial and literary love why is it so difficult hahaha 

    • Space Followed Me After I Crossed and Became a Little Ger / 随身空间之穿成小哥儿 - I don't think this was /bad/ bad but dang it was so peaceful that it got boring. I don't know if my mood was just wrong back then when I read this or maybe it's just aesthetic fatigue since I read too many pastoral, ger novels at the time but I really couldn't stand it anymore. I had 100 more chapters to go but no more pls.

    • I Have a Tough Ger in Ancient Times / 我在古代有悍哥儿 - When I read the description, I was really excited for it but when I read it, it was, um, a bit underwhelming. I don't like the way the plot is developing and the main characters' relationship isn't that good, IMO. I was down for fierce and physically strong ger but he was too forceful and possessive that it's bordering on dubcon already. Maybe it was already completely non-consensual dang it's been a long time I can't remember. MC wasn't all that likeable either. Basically, maybe it's not /that/ bad but definitely not my cup of tea.

    Other dropped stuff not on NU (6):

    • The Handicraft World of the Future / 未来之手工世界 - Basically MC is good in arts and crafts like embroidery and gets rich and popular with that. The age gap between him and ML is really big. Very uncomfortable. Stopped because I wasn't into the direction the novel was heading.

    • Inside Magical Space in the Apocalypse / 末世之空间里 - There's too many magical elements in this one. It feels messy. I just wanted a fluffy? apocalpyse novel man. :(

    • After Rebirth, 10,000 Zergs Became a Fan of Me / 重生后我成了万虫迷 - Group pet, acting spoiled MC. I know ML is supposed to be his love for a past life and big age gaps are usual in zerg novels but dang MC is just a babie. Literally a newborn just hatched from egg. It's so weird how everyone just acts towards him just because he's a male zerg and very "lovable". Especially since he's still A BABY!!! Bah I hate group pet stories most of the time.

    • Difficulties in Getting Married [Book Transmigration] / 婚难从[穿书] - 1. I hate ML's lasy name Ouyang. I don't vibe with 4 character names or 2 character last names in Chinese. Dunno why it just doesn't sound pretty to me. Ouyang doesn't feel like a sexy, protagonist / important character name I am so very sorry to say this hahahuhu ;-;

    2. The plot started out alright. Just the right drama and I like how it's an illegitimate child who gets along with (most of) the family instead of being sad and oppressed all the time. But the plor development seems weird. So many sudden mysteries and small plots like the [spoiler!] plane crash like why is this even? I am almost done (92/105 ch) but I don't wanna continue anymore.

    • Transmigrated Ger's Counterattack Life / 穿成哥儿的逆袭人生 - I am all for gong gers and counterattacking but maaan this is just unnecessarily complicated with the extra abilities, medical skills, cultivation stuff and etc. Just want something straightforward.

    • Ger in Modern Times / 小哥儿在现代 - Another example of smth unnecessarily complicated for me. Basically, MC is modern person who became a beautiful ger in ancient times and crossed back again to modern. That's acceptable okay i gotcha. Buuut it also involves martial arts and spells and sum sh*t like um ??? I'm only at chapter 43/230 okay it'll only get more complicated after that. Is it okay to say "Please choose one" among all the elements/tropes/genres smashed in???? I don't think I'm up for this adventure,,,,

    Other dropped stuff not on NU (6):

    • The Beginning After The End - I enjoyed the manhwa very much but I didn't appreciate the novel. If manhwa gives seinen vibes, novel gives out amateur shounen vibes. I just didn't vibe with the writing style. It was hard for me to visualize things too. Plus, story seemed to be developing into a harem one and I hate harems so goodbye.

    • Dominating with Rebirth in the Apocalypse / 末世重生之霸占 - (Title tl-ed by myself to may not be accurate) It's not very good to MTL. But, even in terrible MTL you can see that the story is a bit silly with characters not really following common sense. Writing was trying to be humourous and casual. Not really my cup of tea at the moment since I want a serious Apocalypse/Zombie BL. I recommend waiting for this to be properly translated to better appreciate since much of the enjoyment from this will come from the story rhythm and writing style which is destroyed in shitty MTL.

    • Reborn in the Last Days to be Dependent / 重生之末世相依 -  (Title tl-ed by myself to may not be accurate) Novel went into a direction I didn't expect so I just got a bit tired. I thought it was gonna be a serious apocalypse rebirth novel where MC would survive more wisely this time and the story would be about dealing with zombies and bad intentioned humans and base building. Well, it slowly went into a more silly and fantastical route with the speed romances, strange dreams, MC picking up random half-zombies and intelligent animals, etc. and I'm just. Ehhhh this isn't my cup of tea. MC doesn't act like someone who has lived in the apocalypse at all and weird and lucky things just keep happening to them. As much as I'm curious about certain plot details, I don't want to make myself read another 100+ chapters. On the bright side, each chapter is short so it wasn't so much of a loss ending it halfway. But still. Time and brain power is precious and I don't want to spend it on this anymore.

    • Through the farming, the pear leaves of the tangled pears fall into the red color / 穿越种田之棠梨叶落胭脂色 - The ML is 24/25 while the body MC transmigrated into is 13/14. You can see what's wrong with this right? ML (and all other pe*vert side characters) lusting for MC when he's that young is just extremely nauseating and uncomfortable that I can't read further. I don't understand why this ridiculous age gap is necessary. The story could do away with it and be more tolerable. I like fluff and smutty moments but here everytime there's some ambiguous and sweet moments it's just blehhh it feels wrong and I don't want to see it.

    • The Traversing Scholar Meets a Soldier, It's Unreasonable / 穿越之秀才遇上兵,有理说不清 - Novel is quite unbearable to MTL. Doesn't fit the writing style and TL is a mess. Story flow was very weird and I couldn't fully understand the characters and what's happening at all. It seems intriguing tho. Buuut it's quite different from the serious historical story I expected. I like how instead of starting at the bottom, this novel just went hard mode on the MC and just threw him into the world shortly before the palace exam hahaha RIP to him. I stopped a few chapters in because MTL hurts the brain. May or may not read this someday once I can understand.

    • Interstellar's Abandoned Son Counterattacks / 星际之弃子逆袭 - I'm down for transmigration into interstellar and family conflicts but it unexpectedly has xianxia and wuxia elements in it. Abilities and apocalypse too. I just don't vibe with the mixed elements.
