Historical Shounen Ai Slice of Life Yaoi

3.75/5!!! [Second Chance, Historical: Ancient Times, Poor-to-Rich, Business Management, Slice-of-Life] Although it is definitely not as exciting as other farming/slice-of-life novels set in Ancient times, this novel is still quite good! In fact, I think it's a nice read for when you're getting a bit tired from the usual 'golden finger = quick success' and 'unrealistic cannon fodder = face-slapping.' This novel does indeed have both of these things, but it's done in a relatively mild manner. So things feel a lot more chill, and there's less of a reason for suspension of disbelief.... more>>

SUMMARY:

The MC (Gong, Zhang Fangyuan) had lived his first life as a waste that died old and alone inside of a home long-abandoned in the village. After dying, he woke up to find out that he had gone back several decades in time. Specifically, when he was young and hearty still, his reputation was a little ruined, but if he worked hard, the world was his oyster. Of course, as someone who had died alone previously, his first move is to get a wife/husband for himself. It's just that he ran into some bumps in the road.

Fortunately, there's the ML (Shou, Xu He), a promising Ger who was unappreciated in his family. The two of them begin their slow but steady development; having children, developing businesses, making connections, etc. They're not the most ambitious people, but wanting to make sure that their family remains prosperous, they continue to work hard until the very end -- all the while, making sure that they do not forget their roots.

THOUGHTS:

Because what I read was mostly in MTL (readable MTL, mind! It was at least 75-80% comprehensible), I won't be doing a full review. But, I can still share some of my thoughts. For example, I thought that the characters of this novel are really interesting. There are lots of layers to them. The person you think would remain cannon fodder till the very end manages to climb up out of the pit through hard work (rather than being buried there forever because of the MC and ML's aura lol). In this way, the novel can be seen as a lot higher in quality when compared to other novels of the same kind.

The romance development was also quite good. And the setting was very realistic (at least, based on what I've read from other CN novels, and researched along the way) and well-established. I guess, if there's anything to complain about, it is honestly a bit dull sometimes. There were several points were I was tempted to stop reading, but I continued because I figured it was close enough to finishing XD. And this is me, who loves these kinds of slow, poor-to-rich, slice-of-life novels. So, IDK how it might be for those who lack the same interest.

RATING: 3.75/5

If I were to rate this novel based on my usual criteria it would be ... Characters - 9.5/10; Romance - 7.5/10; Setting - 8/10; Plot = 5/10. Hence, why I gave the following rating! It really is pretty good, and I think it deserves a read. I will definitely come back to it when the TL is completed one day, else, IDK what I might have missed with the MTL. <<less

Adventure Fantasy Mature Romance Shounen Ai Slice of Life

3.55/5!!! [Transmigration, Poor-to-Rich, Farming, Magical Space] Not a bad read for someone who enjoys farming stories! I originally hesitated to read this because the TL was unfinished, and it was only now that I remembered to get back to it. Have to say, I really shouldn't have hesitated XD Although some of the terms are confusing in MTL (e.g., mother = grandma, get = little brother, etc. etc.) once you get a handle of it, the MTL is at least 75% readable (better than most, at least. So, if you're hesitating because of the same reason as me, I say give it a shot!... more>>

SUMMARY:

This novel plays out very much like your typical 'transmigrating to ancient times to farm and make money' CN novels. But it's also unique in some areas. For example, whilst the transmigrating MC, Tang Chunming, comes back with a space golden finger on his person, the original owner of the body had not only been previously married, but also had a young child and an unborn baby in his stomach. XD I mean, one can say that doesn't matter, but in those times, it mattered quite a bit! In most other novels, the story starts with the MC being forced into marriage. Here, the MC is just recently widowed, which changes things a bit. Thankfully, the MC is not your typical 'soft-shou-MC'. He's very strong-willed and he knows how to fight for a peaceful life. And so, not only does he manage to protect the original owner's children, but he also finds himself a second husband -- the ML, who is a general that just came back from the war.

THOUGHTS:

Because most of what I read was in MTL, I don't dare to write my usual in-depth review. However, when it comes to the usual criteria, I can still share a bit. For example, I thought that the characters of this novel were pretty good. You still had your typical cannon fodders that were completely unrealistic to provide good face-slapping segments. But, aside from them, the side characters were very simple and easy to like. The main characters also were not your usual MC and ML, which was interesting.

As for the setting, this novel is set in a world where there is no such thing as women, only Gers. Gers, that can give birth to children but had the same body (externally) as a man. The main characters don't touch the more complicated matters in the capital all that much, so the focus is on the simple rural life. The MC doesn't hesitate to improve his family's living conditions by making money, but he's not ambitious or greedy, so he shares blessings with everyone. ALL in all, if you enjoy poor-to-rich developments and farming novels (which I happen to do), this is definitely not a bad one to invest some time in.

RATING: 3.55/5

Although you can't say that this novel is top-quality goods, I think it's a lot better than some of the other similar novels out there. Mostly because it's a lot more chill (though there's still lots of irrelevant drama that you can skip if you want.) It's a very simple kind of read, great if you're looking for something casual on the side. <<less

304 Chapters Every 41 Day(s) 2752 Readers 23 Reviews 09-14-2022

Completed Comedy Fantasy Shounen Ai Supernatural

3.5/5!!! [Transmigration, Infrastructure, Poor-to-Rich] I ended up not finishing it, but it's definitely a novel worth reading if you enjoy 'infrastructure-building' novels. Here, the MC... more>> is the Demon King of the lower-realm. The main setting is Western Fantasy, so there are mages, paladins, barbs, demons, etc. along with regular humans. When the MC was dropped into the role of demon king, it's without any of the original's memories. Oh, and the lower realm is also facing a large debt after losing a war against the Church and the Human Empires. Fortunately, the MC has a golden finger! This golden finger is his cellphone, which can be recharged and is always connected to the internet -- giving the MC direct access to the modern world's technologies and knowledge.Ahhhh I love this kind of worldbuilding novel~ And this one is fun because it takes lots of culture and knowledge from all over the world. To begin with, there are lots of movie and anime references (as well as novel references), and the author is always throwing out shocking, obscure facts by way of humorous exposition (the MC is very humorous in general). The only downside is that the development of characters and relationships is not a focus. There are great characters in the novels -- all of whom play their own roles sooner or later -- but they're most self-aware than most, so they don't have to go through too much polishing. The MC is also mainly focused on developing the lower realms with modern culture, so the perspective is definitely skewed.Overall, I recommend this novel if you're interested in infrastructure or poor-to-rich development, as I like to call it. The translation is of good quality, so there's no reason not to read it! It's also almost complete too (which is why I started reading it in the first place, hehe.)(Update: 12/26/2022) I reread the first 80 chapters and then skipped to where I was before (c182). I can see why I stopped now. I enjoyed the first half of the story because it felt very whimsical. The focus is infrastructure and stuff. But later, the novel began to take itself VERY seriously DX Like soooo seriously that I couldn't keep reading. Gah. It would be fine if the characters were up to standard, but as fun as these characters were, they really weren't all that complex and inviting. So yeah. Beware of this little factoid if you want to finish the whole story!Having finished my second reread, I directly want to change the rating to 3.5/5!! That's right, it got lower JEKDKD and the only reason it didn't drop even lower was because of personal enjoyment. That is … I personally enjoyed this story quite a bit! But when it comes to general novel conventions, it's definitely not up to the same standard. <<less

#32Little Ger, Slow Life in Another World

41 Chapters Every 32.8 Day(s) 2192 Readers 32 Reviews 12-03-2023

Fantasy Historical Romance Shounen Ai Slice of Life

3.5/5!!! [Transmigration, Farming, Poor-to-Rich, Golden Finger] Ahh, this type of novel is really relaxing! The main characters are active, but not overly ambitious or greedy. So you can fully enjoy the chill farming/poor-to-rich development. Of course, if you're not the type to enjoy such stories, this novel may be a bit boring for you, but if you're interested in such novels, I guarantee that its worth the read. Just, be aware, it's a bit difficult to understand at times (IDK if it's because of the author's writing style or the translation), but yeah, some things are really a bit clumsy. I ended up just ignoring it, but the frustration still left an impression.... more>>

SUMMARY:

This is your typical case of someone from modern times transmigrating to the past with a golden finger in order to get rich XD. The MC, Miao He, awakens as a recently married Ger with a horrible reputation. He falls into the category of 'soft-kneed and soft-hearted shou', so unlike most MC's that you see falling into this kind of 'family drama' situation, his first instinct is to get along with people (rather than break relationships). This ends up working just right for him. After all, his current husband (the ML, Yang Dalang) is very responsible and hard-working. To spice things up, the MC transmigrated with a golden finger (living soil = a ball of soil that can nourish the land and increase rate of growth of plants by x100 times) and there is another transmigrator around (though he ends up not playing all that big a role, he just provides contrast to the MC.)

THOUGHTS:

Because most of what I read was in MTL, I won't be doing a full review this time. All I can say is, that while the novel is far from perfect, it just so happened to hit all the right spots for me. I love farming novels like this, I find it really satisfying and relaxing. The reason I didn't end up reading this before was because I was afraid of the MTL, but it turned out that the quality of the MTL is not all that different from the TL available. Seriously! IDK how the author did it, but the MTL is very good! Outside of a couple of terms not being translated (e.g., yuanshen = i think it's original owner, xiyang = the cheat) that I could only guess from context, the reading experience was not bad. At least, 80-85% comprehensible. SO, if you're hesitating to read it because of the TL matters, there's no reason to not try.

RATING: 3.5/5

Although the rating for this novel should have probably been lower if I based it on my usual criteria, I just happened to really enjoyed reading it for one reason or another (I can't be sure why rn XD). So, I've decided to give it a relatively higher rating than I would normally. <<less

Completed Action Adventure Fantasy Romance Supernatural Yaoi

3.5/5!!! [Second Chance, Zombie Apocalypse, Infrastructure, Hoarding] This is a short and straightforward infrastructure/zombie-apocalypse-survival novel that just so happened to hit all the right spots for me. I admit that it's very flawed, especially in terms of character development. But as a plot-driven work, it worked out just fine. All I can say is ... don't expect too much from the characters XD. This is best described as a novel for those who enjoy farming/hoarding/management. Even the zombies and abilities are secondary. They're there mostly to give the MC a platform to build infrastructure freely LMFAO.... more>>

________

SUMMARY: The initial premise of this novel is similar to "Back to the Apocalypse". The MC is reborn a couple of months prior to the apocalypse to collect supplies and partner up with the ML. After which, there's a bit of adventuring as they gather comrades and move towards their chosen safe base. Then, it's all infrastructure! As for detailed plot, although the MC does suffer quite a lot in his first life, outside of mentioning it a couple of times, there's no real progress there. It's just there. So, don't expect any face-slapping or revenge plots XD. No healing either.

________

THOUGHTS: I would be lying if I said that this is a good work lolol. The reason why I have a high impression on it is purely based on personal preferences. That is ... if I were to rate this with my usual criteria (characters, romance, setting, and plot-development), it wouldn't be able to measure up at all XD. That being the case, I decided to avoid doing a detailed review for the time being. All I can say for now is that if you like infrastructure novels, then you'll like it. If you don't, then you won't. XD The MC of this novel can be said to be very Gary Stue, whilst the ML is non-existent (I had high expectations based on his first few appearances, but ..... he slowly began to be more and more superfluous. I mean, if he and the MC actually, I dunno, communicated, maybe there would be no reason for me to rate it so lowly XD. All they do in the story is cuddle. I don't think they have chemistry at all. And it really doesn't make sense that the ML is the leader when most of the time, all he does is act as the MC's vehicle (you'll know what I mean when you read it XD).

ANYWAY ... so yeah, my impression of the characters and romantic plot is definitely not high. I'm saying it now so that you don't have any high expectations hehh. As for the MTL (I read this after translating the raws through Google Translate), it's pretty good! Some names are messed up (most prominently: Han Ya, who is translated as Hana or Asiana XD There's also Wen Le, who is referred to as Young Master or Wen Shao), gender pronouns are also messed up (as per usual), but altogether not bad. The author's writing style is relatively straightforward. So the readability is high (around 80-85%, which is very good for MTL). For the time being, I've decided to give this novel a 3.5/5 rating. Again, if it were based on my usual criteria, this would be A LOT lower. But, adding 'personal enjoyment' to my score, this is what I got hehe. <<less

3.5/5!!! [Rebirth, Second Chance, Poor-to-Rich, Historical: China - 1990s] Not bad! Got kind of boring in the end, so I didn't complete it. But the... more>> overall premise was very inspiring and I liked the details. It's pretty easy to read in MTL too, so if you want to give it a try, there's no problem with the unfinished translation.__________SUMMARY: The MC, (Gong, Shi Zen), had lived a somewhat fulfilling life as a big boss during the economic boom during the 1990s. From a young man who knew nothing and came from a rural mountain village, he built himself up, going through countless ups and downs to reach the pinnacle of life. Unfortunately, he lost a lot of important things along the way. Including his true love, the ML (Shou, Guan Baiyu). When he gets a second chance at life, coming back to his 18yo self, just fresh out into the outside world, he decides to things differently. This time, he's very careful about what he does and builds his success little by little. Of course, in the meantime, he has to dote on his beloved, who picks up early._________THOUGHTS: You don't usually get a lot of novels of this time. Wait no, BL novels tend to be more popular during the 1980-2000, opposite to BG novels, which seemed to be mostly popular with the 1960-1970s era XD. So this novel falls in the expected range, and is similar to a lot of the same-era stories out there. That is, it's pretty serious! The Gong is the main character, and he drives most of the story as the reborn person, so things are very buttoned up in terms of development. In fact, it's pretty satisfying this way too, but it does mean that things are also a little less romantic (just some silly and cute side romance, you know, nothing too complicated). If you enjoy poor-to-rich development and business management novels, I don't think you can go wrong with this one. It's not the best, but it's still interesting to read. Mainly because most of the Gong rebirth novels usually start with the Gong having very big advantages. Whereas, here, the Gong starts off very very small at first. So small it's almost inconceivable how big he gets. In this way though, things are a lot more satisfying!ANYWAY, as for the rating, I'm giving the novel a 3.5/5!!! Not bad. Could be better. It's enough to round up to stars, but just barely. I was very tempted to give this a 3.45/5 LOL. But I decided to be nice this time, and adjust it as needed the second time I read it. <<less

82 Chapters Every 6.4 Day(s) 820 Readers 8 Reviews 03-07-2024

Fantasy Romance Supernatural Yaoi

3.44/5!!! [Second Chance, Fantasy, Game Elements, Apocalypse: Zombies] This novel is quite good if you like apocalypse novels and infrastructure novels. This focuses more on the latter, you know, slowly building up a city that can fight against the apocalypse. BUT!!! Not in the usual way. It’s truly a mysterious, black-box system that works very similarly to those popular infrastructure games XD. The quality of the story itself can only be said to be subpar, the characters aren’t all that interesting and the drama is petty at best. However, if the infrastructure is to your taste, this should be pretty normal for you!... more>>

_________SUMMARY: The MC of this story, Song Xingcheng, wakes up on the day of the apocalypse with a head full of novel content. According to this novel content, he was bound to be used and abandoned by the guy that he had a crush on. Of course, he wants nothing to do with any of it. He decides to adjust himself based on the mistakes he made in his dream. Which starts with exploring his cheat first (a game panel that enables him to slowly build and upgrade a city) and then teams up with the ML (He Qiashen), who incidentally also woke up with a cheat and novel content on the first day of the apocalypse. Working together, the two slowly build a city that can act as a reprieve for the people of their country.

_________THOUGHTS: Although fun, the story is quite flawed. The MC’s cheat was too cheat-y. To the point that it restricted the future of humans rather than helped it. I thought it was cool at first, but more and more, it became evident that it blocked the progress of humans. (Actually, this reminds me of another novel, a BG one called “Apocalypse Lord”, that one had the MC as a City Lord as well. I prefer that one though because the setting made more sense. It was an actual game in the end, so the city that was built without sustainability in mind was logical. As for here, I had to work hard to ignore it so that I can enjoy infrastructure T.T.) My recommendation, if you’re going to read this, try to not to have expectations XD. Just go into it believing it’s all a game. That way, the process may be a little smoother.

BUT OK. Enough about the cheat, there are the characters as well. TBH, I don’t like the MC that much. The ML was fine, but he was also a bit boring. Their romance was also a bit bland since the ML was pretty much all in from the beginning. So yah. Don’t read this thinking that the characters or the romance will make up for the world settings being flawed LOLOL. By saying all this, I make the story sound like it’s very bad. But the truth of the matter is, I enjoyed it quite a bit! I looooove infrastructure stories. And no matter how flawed they get, I can’t help but feel satisfied reading them. If you’re the same, then there should be no problem with trying out this story. If not, then I suggest you stay far away pfft! As for my rating, the TL is currently unfinished and I read it mostly in MTL. Usually, I won’t give a rating but this time, the MTL was surprisingly readable (80-85%). So my official rating is …. 3.44/5!!! Looks low. That’s because, content-wise, this is really a problematic story XD. Most of the points are based on personal enjoyment. <<less

3.15/5!!! [Second Chance, Zombie Apocalypse, Whimsical, Survival] (2nd Reread Update: 03/12/2023): Second time rereading this novel! I admit that the novel is a bit too whimsical, and is in fact quite flawed, but I have some fondness for it because it's the first CN Zombie Apocalypse novel that I read LMFAO. As I'll mention again later on, this novel is more plot-driven than character driven. The main characters become more and more meaningless as the time goes on XD, and the plot just takes over after a while (which is what led me to stop this time around -- I only read up to the 80th chapter).... more>>

________SUMMARY: The MC of this novel, Su Ruize, is your typical reborn protagonist -- he has a magical space and with the foreknowledge of the upcoming apocalypse, he's given the opportunity to hoard materials and gather a team before everything went to shit. What's extra about him is that he also has wood abilities. These wood abilities will require that you subvert your disbelief quite a bit, since it enables him to weaponize plants lolol. In any case, with such a cheat, he pretty much powers his way through the apocalypse along with the ML, Zhan Yun, who was an almost-lover in his first life that he had regretted leaving behind.

________CHARACTERS: The characters in this story are a bit boring. They had potential, but because the story is more plot-focused, they’re really mostly there for effect and to look cool.

Su Ruizhe (MC) is a typical Gary Stue. He has a power space ability as well as a wood ability that allows him to turn plants into weapons. His personality is usually a mix of shy and timid. But, there are odd key moments where he becomes OOC.

Zhan Yan (ML) is your typical possessive ML. He has a strong oppressive ability and is the leader of their group. His personality is pretty consistent but lacks depth.

___________

THOUGHTS: As a plot-driven story, it shines most in this regard.. I found the worldbuilding here quite amusing (especially the first time I read it.) The MC's abilities are definitely of broken, but well, it's quite fun regardless. Of course, as is common with other zombie apocalypse novels, the zombies and humans both are able to mutate and evolve here. Outside of that, I really love the survival elements. Those are definitely my fav parts of the story. The novel starts a month before the apocalypse and prepping for the end was fun. I think the story shined most in the beginning actually, because of these survival elements. Later on, the story grew more grand scale, and all the fun little things explored early on kind of became unnecessary. The pacing of the story is just a bit too fast, I suppose. Not much romance here btw. The main characters get together pretty quickly, tho that’s mostly background stuff. ALL IN ALL, I think it's worth reading for the fun of it. It's definitely the best in quality, which is why I'm only giving it a 3.2/5 rating, but its uniqueness makes it quite a novelty. <<less

Here, the MC, Zhang Ziqi, finds himself transmigrating into the body of a young Ger (this is a world without females, just males and males who can't give birth -- called Gers) who had been sold off by his guardians to become the wife of the village's fool (the ML, Zhao Zheng'an). After marriage, nevermind having the support of his husband's new family, they were quickly separated and forced... more>>

Action Adventure Mature Romance Slice of Life Xianxia Yaoi

2.81/5!!! [Transmigration, Xianxia, Poor-to-Rich, Magical Space] First things first, the quality of this novel is definitely not the best. The TL is okay, but the writing itself is very simple, like... super basic with lots of repetitive phrases (if you did a drinking game for every “—— was speechless” or “—— was at a lost for words” you would have probably died of liver failure... DX). The pacing is super fast too, and the characters not very in depth. Altogether, definitely a rough work. BUT! Well—- the main premise of the move is the MC making money, spending money to get stronger, making even more money to get stronger, and so on and so forth.... more>>

2.8/5!!! [Transmigration, Comedy, Zombie Apocalypse, Xuanhuan] (UPDATE: 11/28/2022) I'm on a rereading spree and I ended up stumbling on this little gem once again. It's not bad. I read it till the end this time (previously, I only read up to c42). The MTL is readable if you plug the raw chapters into google translate (simplified Chinese to English). All I can say is that it's a novel that's more comedic than serious. The focus isn't really on survival, as the zombie apocalypse setting may imply. The tone of the novel is very comedic because of the POV character and the style of narration (which is full of slang). The direction is also a bit... more>>

2.5/5!!! [Transmigration, Poor-to-Rich, Historical: Ancient China] Tried to read it. TL is readable but very messy (I read the Flying Lines TL at skynovel). I initially thought that the author would explore the magical space some more, since the title made it seem like a big deal… but it turns out to be pretty pointless in this story (T.T), according to commenters and reviewers. SO, I’ll come back and reread another time! It doesn’t seem to bad, but from what I can see it’s not all that good either.... more>>

Completed Comedy Fantasy Romance Supernatural Xuanhuan Yaoi

2.68/5!!! For some reason, I thought this novel was highly rated. I come back only see that it’s actually pretty mixed T.T Ah, anyways— I got quite far but I ended up giving up in the end. The novel’s cover is quite misleading lol, so is the title. It’s a lot more edgy than it appears. The MC is someone who has the ability to speak to beasts, and after time traveling 100, 000 years into the future, he finds out that he can heal animals now too! This initially might seem like your general sci-fi—childcare—beast—novel but it’s actually... well; there’s a lot going on? The main theme is based on the present society, which... more>>

???/5!!! [Transmigration, Historical: Primitive Era, Slice of Life, Poor-to-Rich] Not bad. The MTL was a bit hard to digest so I gave up in the end, but it was interesting in its own way. The premise of the story is that a modern man is sent back into a fantasy primitive era. Just when he thought his life would end, he is discovered by a small tribe that live in the forest and mistaken as a female. From then on, he lives with this tribe. And despite some misunderstandings with the ML (the person who ended up claiming the "female" as his mate), he begins to accept this life and proceeds to improve it with... more>>

???/5!!! [Infrastructure, Clan Building, Historical Fantasy: Primitive Era] I love infrastructure stories, so it's not a surprise for me to have enjoyed this novel. The only reason I didn't finish reading was because the MTL became more and more intolerable after a bunch of characters and new tribes were introduced T.T MTL and Chinese Nouns are not very friendly with each other... The premise of this novel is similar to the usual "Transmigrate into the Primitive Era to Build Infrastructure." The MC is the type of person that knows a whole bunch of obscure knowledge and he uses this in order to make advancements in all the environments that he goes to. He starts by... more>>
