┻┳|･ω･) IMPORTANT NOTE:
I include a portion of my official review of each novel listed, it’s mostly an introduction of the story as well as what to expect further along. If you want more details, you can find my full review on my profile or on the novel’s NU page.
I make these lists mostly for myself — cause I have a horrible memory — and I want to know what to expect when rereading. As a result, they’re not always the most objective!
┻┳|･ω･) RATINGS:
For me, any rating above a 3.5 is pretty high! If the rating is 2/5 or below, I put it in a private list.
• 2.5 — 3.0 | 5 = Average (Run of the mill, perhaps not the best written/translated or have generic characters/development, but still readable.)
• 3.0 — 3.75 | 5 = Slightly better than average (Not the best in quality for some reason or another but has a charming point that makes it more fun to read).
• 3.75 — 4. 35 | 5 = Good Quality (High in quality and worth the read! But probably lacking in a certain aspect or just not my usual type of novel).
• 4.35 — 5 | 5 = Great Quality (Must read!!! I rarely give out such scores. So if it reaches this level, it’s a definite favorite for me~).

4.65/5!!! [Slice of Life, Modern Day, E-Sports] MC transmigrates into a novel about competitive E-Sports a year before it actually began. This gives him the opportunity to snag the yet-unknown powerful players to create a team around the industry’s current strongest (the ML), God Jing.

4.6/5!!! [Romance, Slice of Life, School Life, Gaming] I usually avoid stories with this kind of shameless premise (mc pretends to be someone else), but I saw a review that said it was worth reading and thank god I did! It's a really good read~ Certainly, you'll be suffering through bouts of second-hand embarrassment, and there's a little bit of angst too. But it's just a little bit. The rest of the story is funny, sweet, and soft. The main premise is was stated in the summary: the MC (Jing Huang), foolishly decides to catfish the 'slag man' (the ML, Xiang Huaizhi) that caused his jiejie to run off abroad. As a protective younger brother,... more>>

4.59/5!!! [E-Sports, Gaming, Slice of Life, Comedy] Since this was so highly rated, I decided to give it a shot! It's definitely not what I was expecting, but I ended up liking it a lot~ The basic premise is that the MC (Wei Xiao), who is a professional accompanying player (someone who gets paid to accompany others to play a game), ends up being schemed to join a professional E-Sports team by the ML (Lu Feng). There's a previous history at work here, so things aren't as simple as they seem. The MC had initially been slated to join the team two years ago, but had ended up running off for some mysterious reason. This... more>>

4.5/5!!! [Modern Day, Fantasy, Game Elements, System Administrator, Virtual Romance] Not what I was expecting, but it didn't disappoint! I can see why this is so highly rated now. I avoided it for the longest time because the summary was a bit... uhhh all over the place, i guess? I just didn't understand it DX If you're like me and you're hesitating because of the summary or something else, I can confidently say that you will probably end up liking this novel more than what you're expecting! It's the kind of character-driven novel that you rarely see in Danmei groups -- one with a driving theme that makes the story stand out with its own... more>>

4.25/5!!! [Transmigration, Slice of Life, Drama] Very similar to "Transmigrating Into The Heartthrob's Cannon Fodder Childhood Friend". Where the MC is a transmigrator who read a novel and felt affronted over one of the character's horrible background. This time, it's the villain of the OG!Novel (the ML), who was switched at birth and then abandoned for the fake son because of his poor upbringing. The MC transmigrates as a classmate/neighbor of said villain from birth. Though things are a bit more complicated than that, since the MC only remembered his transmigration when he was 14yo. At that point he had already bullied the villain and the villain had lived 15 years in an abusive home.... more>>

4.12/5!!! [Transmigration, Comedy, Drama, Modern Day] This novel starts off really hilarious --- seriously, I can't remember the last time I laughed so loud, nevermind laughing aloud while reading in the first place XD. However, the story did kind of dragged at the end, so I ended up just making up an ending in my mind and leaving it at that. I didn't want to end up disliking this novel and mainly just wanted to enjoy what I already read, which is what follows:... more>>

4.06/5!!! [Slice of Life, Entertainment, Romance] This novel is quite cute, and there are lots to like about it, but in the end, I had to drop it T.T not because of any sense of dislike, just because I was recommended another I really want to read and the sweet vibe of this novel--without too many ups and downs--is more of a self-indulgent read than anything else. As for the main premise? Ah, it's romance-centric! Slow burn. The MC is introduced to a game by his dorm mate and ends up running into the insufferable dork that is the ML. After witnessing the MC's skills and hearing his girly voice, the ML is inexplicably attracted... more>>

4.05/5!!! [Slice of Life, Growing Up Story, School Life, Fluff] Cute and fluffy slice of life novel set in Modern Day China. The MC (Tang Jinyu) transmigrates into the body of a sickly 5yo boy with very loving parents after reading a book on his male god (the ML, Xia Ye). At first, he remembers things very clearly -- he knows that he was a lot older, that he had a grandfather that loved him very much, and that Xia Ye was his male god and idol --- but after a while, the memory faded. This made it so that the focus of the novel was less on the MC, and more on the dynamics... more>>

4/5!!! [Rebirth, Cultivation, Poor-to-Rich] MODERN-DAY SETTING IS ONLY FOR THE FIRST ARC. This is quite a fun level-up/poor-to-rich novel! I didn't know it existed until now so I was pretty surprised. It kind of has the vibe of "I Have Medicine" and "Legendary Master's Wife" but mainly in that the characters constantly work their way up the cultivation ladder with golden fingers that shock the world. The unique aspect here is that the MC and ML start off in the human world -- Modern Day China -- where the resources couldn't be anymore baren. I think that the story was best during this arc but that could be because my comprehension dropped a bit after... more>>

3.93/5!!! [Transmigration, Comedy, Modern Day, Business Management] Simple and sweet modern-day romance. First things first! The summary is very misleading. I initially avoided this novel because, based on the summary, it seems like one of those novels where the couple inexplicably breaks up in the middle because of some contrived reason... only to get back together at the last moment to dish out dog food to all the singles lmfao. BUT in fact, it's not! The tone of the novel is lighter than the summary would imply. To be more specific...... more>>

3.85/5!!! [Romance, Modern Day, Drama] To be honest, IDK why I read this. I'm usually not fond of modern-day romance novels. Wait, no. I remember, it's because I read one of the author's other works and was curious about how a person who wrote such deep worldbuilding fics would deal with a book for ordinary romance. Turns out, it's still pretty good! Definitely far from my favorite, though that's more a matter of taste. This novel is a lot better than some I've read before for things like character development and plot. Each character felt very real to me, even if their main characteristics were sometimes overexaggerated. The plot too, despite being somewhat unbelievable, was... more>>

3.68/5!!! [Slice of Life, Gaming, Romance] Main Plot: MC (Yu Yan) is a young 19yo that's been working as an accompanying player for a PUBG game. This year, he decided to become an anchor for the most popular live-streaming platform (StarTV). Coincidentally, on his first ever livestream show, he manages to nab the platform's big boss (the ML 1/YiChen) into being his first-ever audience. What follows is a slow burn romance with a couple of ups and downs.... more>>

3.6/5!!! [Transmigration, Slice of Life, Poor-to-Rich, Childcare] Childcare and Poor-to-Rich Slice of Life novel! MC (Xu Zhao) transmigrates into the 80s as a young single father with a 2yo son. He finds himself in pretty dire straights: having recently dropped out of school, a too-thin baby, unsupportive older brothers, and no money in sight. But, soon enough, he finds some use of his modern sensibilities in order to make a name for himself and improve his and his son's livelihoods. The ML comes into the picture pretty early as the mysterious youngest uncle of the schoolmate that first helps MC off of his feet.... more>>

3.5/5!!! [Cultivation, Modern Times, Alchemy, Slice of Life] SUMMARY: The MC is a young man from modern times that ended up falling off a cliff and transmigration into a world of cultivation .... BUT, the story isn't about his journey in the cultivation world. He exploded himself in that world after being chased for his treasures, resulting in him wearing it back to modern times. Only, rather than go back to the time when he transmigrated (after falling off the cliff), he went back ten years into the past. He's 18 years old, and just about to graduate from highschool. His only family had died just a month ago, leaving him alone.... more>>

3.5/5!!! [Slice of Life, Romance, Entertainment] Simple and sweet, nothing too complicated. Initial Premise: MC is a big fan of the professional e-sports player (the ML, Northland). But his acting career expressly forbids him from showing it. So there’s lots of mistaken identity shenanigans in the beginning as the MC proceeds to spoil his favorite idol in every way that he can.... more>>

2.5/5!!!! [Modern Day, Entertainment, Romance] This novel is a bit dry. Idk if it’s the writing style or what, but there’s a lack of emotions in it. Also, the entertainment factor is very plain with nothing to looking forward to. All you’ve got left is the romance. But the fake marriage aspect is also very genetically played…. XD SOOO in conclusion? It’s kind of boring. Nothing too bad, but nothing too good either. If what you’re looking for is a casual read about a hot ML and a perfect MC living a sweet and sweet life. It might not be a bad read for you. The TL is very good, and that alone makes it... more>>

???/5!!! [Transmigration, Modern Day, ABO] This is the kind of novel I usually avoid, but after rereading a pretty wild novel, I thought it would be healing to read a bit of this slice of life ABO~ The experience was not bad, but I have to sleep now and don’t think I will be finishing the novel in the future. The main focus of the story is the romance between a late-differentiating omega who transmigrated into a novel thinking all he had to do was avoid the main characters in order to live a good life. His counterpart is an Alpha who, after repeatedly being forced to suffer through countless omega springing their pheromones on... more>>
