The MC seems mild at first but he's special in a of different ways. The ML is the type I haven't seen in any other story; he's flamboyant and loves stirring up drama. From the characters, to the well-written story, everything in this novel is super high quality.... more>>

The plot twist... It's definitely not something I ever expected.  <<less

I read this like, a decade ago and I thought it was so funny; I loved the MC so much! Then I read it again...... more>> And I still feel the same way. It's great if you want to read something with loyal subordinates, a dazzling MC, and comedy with dashes of conspiracies and schemes here and there. And I'm not sure if it's just me but... I feels like it borders on shounen-ai but not rly? Like, bromance. All throughout the novel. It's a great relief when you wanna get away from all the heavy angst and sugary romance stories out there. <<less

I'm kinda surprised this made it one the list; I don't usually end up liking BG (boygirl). It's a romantic comedy where rivals end up... more>> going through many lifetimes together and end up having sincere feelings. Also a HE as far as I'm concerned. Most of the things I like have happy endings.  <<less

Ngl, sometimes I felt a lil irritated with the MC being the stereotypical dense blushy kind of character. If I had a nickel every time the author describes him as "some silly, cute person," every time he does something kinda dumb, I'd be able to fill my piggy bank. ... more>>

Ignore that small rant though; he's really not that bad besides that and it's actually a very solid storyline with a lot of side characters full of variety. I don't even usually like western fantasy BL either but it made it here.  <<less

Something about the story-telling made me feel like something tragic was going to happen every step of the way... Thankfully, it's not rly that sad... more>> and the couple is very sweet. It's very "You flirted with me first!" "...!? Since when? You're the one that flirted with ME" <<less

A sweet story about an ML that loves the MC lots. He gets jealous a lot and the MC also loves him; they both just... more>> have some misunderstandings. It's not rly a unique or special story or anything but it's pretty good for the genre is belongs to.  <<less

God, I LOVE characters that are morally gray; or in this case, more than morally gray. It's super short but it's great at showing how... more>> the couple dynamics work. You've got a manipulative, pretty villainous MC and the ML she corrupted.  <<less

I really really liked the characters in this one. The apathetic protagonist tag is well deserved. I usually don't like reading about completely stone-cold MC's... more>> (but I get that a lot of ppl do cuz they seem bad*ss or something) but I really liked this MC who's apathetic but not cold. The ML is kinda adorable too; I liked how the characters care about the MC in their own way. <<less

This didn't strike me as an emotional novel at first but man, the angst gets kinda strong. It's definitely HE though, dw. The dynamics of... more>> the relationship is what rly made it 5 stars to me though; they constantly try to save each other and always want to sacrifice and make sure the other isn't suffering. It's the kind of couple that always want to sacrifice for the other's happiness, which is both sweet and a little sad.  <<less

A BL of... OmegaXOmega? Haha, yes. Even though the MC and ML are both omegas, I think ML has much more top energy than MC.... more>> The best part is, even though the story is super short, there IS relationship development here. They don't just sleep with each other or fall in love right away. It's very sweet.  <<less

An enemies to lovers story done well. I see a lot of enemies to lovers stories but I usually end up disliking one side; that's... more>> not the case here! Sweet, domestic slice of life with just a bit of very minor face slapping for the MC's awful family. Rly good!  <<less

I was rly rly hesitant to put this on the list just because so few chapters are out. Please please let some translator group pick this up! ... more>>

This is the type of MC I rly like. Reminds me a little of Nightmare Live but this one seems more light-hearted. The ML seems like the pampering, doting type that's a little silly; from the summary, I thought the MC and ML weren't on good terms but...... Hehe. The ML is super crazy about MC but MC definitely has a misunderstanding.  <<less

I definitely liked some arcs more than others. It's established relationship but through the transmigrations to solve the ML's illness, the MC discovers all the tiny flaws in their relationship; the MC loves the ML and the ML is crazy in love with MC but that doesn't mean everything is perfect. ... more>>

The MC is a calm, mature, sweetie and ML is the loyal dog with a dash of inferiority complex (and loves eating vinegar). <<less

Wow, I love this story so much! MC is relatable and dorky. The romance is SLOW burn like SLOW 72 slow cooked beef type of slow. The side characters are so quirky and even though it took some time, I ended up liking ML too. How can I not with MC simping for him all the time? Lmao. ... more>>

The MC and ML have such a beautiful love; it's very 'I love you, but we can't because etc etc' but you can FEEL how much they care about each other. The ending is kinda sad ngl; I definitely cried for MC and ML... But it's okay! The sad ending is basically not that bad when you notice there's a whole other sequel. There's a definite hopeful note that their romance is far from over. <<less

Ahem... The sequel!!! Okay tbh I don't usually like sequels because the sequel is never as good as the first book to me... Which is also sorta true here, but the first book was so good, there'd have to be witchcraft at work if the sequel matched up. ... more>>

It's very very good though and my broken heart from the first book is soothed by the 2nd book.  <<less

COugh cough... Not for everyone. There's a father son pair but the MC is kinda special in a lot of ways. The ML....... It takes... more>> some time to get to like him, as he's kinda a playboy at heart. When they actually get together though, ML rly only has eyes for MC. It definitely has some flaws though; I would definitely hate to transmigrate into this kind of novel for sure.  <<less

PLEASE! WHEN I SAY A TRANSLATOR GROUP NEEDS TO PICK UP A NOVEL, I'M REFERRING TO THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR. You know a group that likes translating ghosts/fengshui/metaphysical creepy BL stories? Tell them to take a look at this novel.... more>>

I LOVE THE MC. He seems like a goody two-shoes at first but he's relatable and cute. Lowkey reminds me of the Kaleidoscope of Death MC a lil. The ML is the cold/pampering kind but he's not unapproachable or anything. I love the ghosts/monsters here because some of the stories read like those urban legends where 'an ordinary person encounters something out of this world'. Absolutely give this a try!  <<less

Also has so, so few chapters. But I love it regardless (for now). I don't usually like insta-love stories where the MC and ML get together right away (on the other hand, I also don't like The MC and ML getting together after countless dumb misunderstandings. I'm just picky I guess) but their relationship almost feels like an established relationship.... more>>

The MC is cute and smart. The ML is the pampering male yandere type but in a good way; it's cliche but they do the cliches right.  <<less

They have until ch. 23 but you'll have to get their discord password for that. MC is the foxy, tricky type; he rides the line... more>> between cute and cool very neatly. I can't say much about couple dynamics because even up to ch.23, I still don't know who the ML is but I have a guess.  <<less

A very very nice harem BL with a queenly MC shou. I know some people think he should be more morally white than how he is after he transmigrates (because he's from modern society) but... Even the white collar workers today aren't guaranteed to be good people. To me, it just feels like he was transported into an era where he could finally let loose. There's a lot of world building but not too much. The romance starts out shallow and picks up in speed. There was rly only one ML I didn't really like near the end (the gentle scholar) even though he redeemed himself. The rest of the ML's are just... Chef's kiss!... more>> Muah! I love em. Mostly Gu Yunzhou. He's definitely in some of the funniest chapters (like ch.65).

Don't be fooled; this story has some parts where MC tries to make money and manage the people but this isn't a super serious story; there's actually a ton of funny parts.  <<less

I think all the stories under Chrysanthemum Garden need a password but it's super easy to get it; don't let that stop you from reading it because it's definitely worth it. ... more>>

MC is strong and smart. Y'know the 'berserker' class group in games? He's like that. He's beautiful and crazy; sometimes the blood lust gets to his head a little. He's definitely one of the most wild MC's I've read about. 

There's actually a lot of chinese historical information here?? Like you can tell the author definitely did their homework; I don't understand everything but I admire their hard work. Also... The ML's animal form is so cute!!!  <<less

The MC may seem like the morally good, bland type at first but he's definitely not. He's petty sometimes and he's a hard worker. He... more>> plays along with the caring and sometimes wacky side characters. I really, really didn't like the ML at first because of MC's first life... But it turns out there are misunderstandings here and there and the story is looking deeper into some of those and how the MC truly lives and strives for a much better life. The original 'Main character'... Ahahaha he's so cringe but it's so believable because there really are people out there like that.  <<less

Okay okay don't come at me... I know a sweet and cute shou MC and cold pampering ML is super super unoriginal but this one... more>> does it so, so well!!! The MC and ML actually have a healthy relationship where they actually communicate with each other. They help each other so much. It's been done before but this novel is rly good for it's genre.  <<less

Don't take this too seriously. It's super super comedic inwardly but outwardly it sounds serious. Outwardly, it's all these ML's going yandere over MC. You have love triangles, love squares... It's not a harem novel though, because they are VERY yandere. MC always dies tragically and the ML goes mad with grief... Inwardly, it's a cute MC who doesn't catch feelings easily just trying his best to finish the system missions and the ML's fall over themselves trying to catch MC. ... more>>

I believe as long as you don't take every ending as doom and gloom and focus more on the MC's perspective (who is a surprisingly positive person), you'll end up liking this.  <<less

It's 47 chapters at the time of writing... I'm not sure who uploaded chapter 74 of some other novel onto its novelupdates page. And it says it's been completely translated but it's definitely not? I don't know why there's a completed tag on here (2/6/23)... more>>

This has a rly comedic undertone but I wouldn't go as far to say it's comedy. It has such a unique setting: modern china but with cultivators and supernatural and fantastical elements. I like the MC a lot. Y'know some novel's MC do a whole phase when they realize they're falling for the ML? A dense phase, a denial phase, etc etc.... This MC realizes he's falling for ML and he faces it head-on. Instead of hiding, he wants to cherish the little time he has with ML. And ML doesn't seem to love MC at first but he seems to have special feelings for MC almost right away and slowly, slowly grows to do more and more for him because he (LOVES) cares for him.  <<less
