★★★★★ (i remember couldn't fall asleep cz im too hooked up on the plot lmao. the villain is so so good it really makes me... more>> hate him. the side characters are interesting and funny, i personally really love yan xie's character). <<less

★★★★ (forced marriage, the plot isn't really that heavy it was surprisingly light. a pleasant read, nonetheless.)

★★★★★ (been waiting for the translation to be completed and man, it didn't disappoint me. PLEASEEEE read it even though you're not into e-sport danmei).

★★★ (it mostly okay and that's it... but i love the MC's character though).

★★★★★ (came for smut but end up crying lmao)

★★★★ (it's cute)

★★★★

★★★ (it was fine and not that bad but honestly maybe slice of life isn't really my cup of tea except it's also heavy with... more>> comedy but unfortunately this one is not that's why i got bored). <<less

★★★★★ (i like it but definitely won't reread or read story similar to this lmao my heart can't handle) ((pls read the tags and warnings))

★★★ (pls read the tags and warnings)

★★★ (the smut was hot though...)

★★★★ (funny and smutty)

★★★★★ (i absolutely f*cking love this novel right here. trying to read some danmeis with similar story but end up dropping them cz i always... more>> compared them with this one ('T᷄⌑T᷅) and maybe it's my fault...) <<less

★★★★ (im crying)

★★★★ (cute and short)

★★★★ (the romance is super duper slow but it's worth it. involved outer gods from lovecraftian horror and has that harry potter vibes. the identity of the gong surprised me the most HAHAHAHA)... more>>

spoiler: the gong is yog-shothoth (y'know like,,, one of the outer gods from lovecraftian mythology) <<less

★★★ (it kinda didn't meet my expectations...)

★★★★★ (ah yes the enemy to lovers trope where the enemy part isn't lying. they do really hate and trying to kill each other countless... more>> times. the plot twist is shocking, the gong is insanely insane, and the relationship between the shou and his father emperor is bittersweet). <<less

★★★★ (MC goes back into his high-school-self. it's good, i've been wanting to read this for a long time. i like the MC's character and the ML is surprisingly have fun (and cute) personality. very different from our first impression of him. MC's relationship with his friends and his friends' family is heartwarming. i kinda didn't expect that this one would have explicit romances and even explicit s*x scenes lmao. idk why but when i read the summary, my first impression was that this novel would barely have romance scene and would mostly focus on the MC's relationship with his friends and the economic development of china. it doesn't mean that i dislike it though,... more>> it just surprised me. nonetheless, it's a fun read.)

(also, i understand that some people might dislike the romance part here with their first meeting was just out of character, sort of. but it was okay for me, not that a fan of their first encounter but i wouldn't say it was bad either.) <<less

★★★★ (warning spoiler!!)... more>>

so. i decided to drop this novel despite i really like the premise etcetera and been wanting to read it for a long long time. the reason was, when i read the summary i expect i would read some serious s*xual or just tension between sha qing the serial killer and leo, the fbi agent. BUT sha qing disguise himself as this character named li biqing. who is li biqing? he was introduced as leo's older sister (molly)'s new boyfriend (and they plan on getting married so biqing is basically leo's future brother-in-law). the thing is... li biqing's character is really not my cup of tea. he's that type of cute, soft, sunshine, innocent, and all that similar characteristic type which i... really don't fancy. when they have their own moment and sparks gradually formed i couldn't feel it and the so-called tension is not really there. it also because of he's leo's future brother-in-law and reading them having those dog foods is kinda weird personally... 

but i really like the serial killer sha qing's personality. he first appeared and interact with leo on that chess game arc and reading his interaction with leo was hella fun. i LOVE their banter and interactions. even if they only interact briefly, like maybe 3/4 chapters? i can feel the tension and it was really really nice. i was really excited reading those parts. and then after that it's gone. it's li biqing again and i got bored and tired with this persona that i feel nothing when they interact.  <<less

★★★★ (truly a tragedy...) (thought it was transmigration until the last part happened.......)

★★★★★ (it is sooooooo good. the cases are interesting and the mysteries about parallel world are intriguing. i tend to avoid parallel world because i... more>> feel like it would be hard for me to understand but the author of this novel explained it so good that i understand it easily. the main characters are chef's kiss. like the side characters too, they have their own personality and characteristic that it was really fun reading them interact. i personally like the ML but i do understand why *some* people might be interested with ML's brother more. also despite i like the pairing, i kinda think that the romance part is too fast... want to see more slow burn lmao. idk maybe cz it's a bad habit of mine where i lost interest quickly when the pairing are already dating or already  confessed to each other heh i just LOOOVVEEE mutual pining). <<less

★★★★ (now i also feel shameless after reading it lmao)
