[Topic] Currently reading (completed/on-going)

  • 和残疾巨佬闪婚后 by 惗肆 [on-going] (no kidding, if you run this through MTL it'll translate as 'Shameless', isn't that cute?)/ After a flash marriage with a disabled business giant. This comes from the author I've been reading recently and it's my 5th novel from them. Summary: Shi Yunnan returns back home being called by his family from abroad. Once he had a weird dream where the story was about road to success of their third brother, who is an illegitimate child of their father. In that dream he and his twin brother are nothing more but cannon fodders. He doesn't know if to believe it, but first he must solve the family that wants to engage him to a dude from the Luo family, what happened next the Shi family didn't believe. The ptriarch of the Luo family came himself and actually agreed to Shi Yunnan's proposal of a flash marriage. Luo Lingshen is a notorious character, his legs suffered from the car accident which took his family, he now sits in a wheelchair after getting a strong grip on entire Luo family. No one knows that Yunnan and Lingshen share a few encounters in the past, it's just Yunnan who doesn't remember about them, but he still couldn't help his feelings that grew strong from simple agreement to deep love. It's a very well-paced story, the supposed protag is a vicious person who simply knows what will happen, but his adaptability isn't strong. Yunnan has see and act attitude towards him, since he caused many people demise in the original story, especially Lingsheng. Yunnan is a jewellery designer, so some connecting events will be present, not without face slapping routines, steady pacing, cute characters. One of few stories where family has a kid, nephew of Lingshen who is really adorable.
  • 走红后豪门大佬成了我粉头 by 雁飞行 [on-going] / After becoming popular a business giant becomes my fan. Summary: Jiang Fang is contacted by his younger brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time and asked to take part in a variety show that requires to bring their relatives. Jiang Fang agrees with a clear goal in his mind - earn money for the laboratory - and sets foot on a path of a traffic star. When Jiang Fang was little he was sent to a temple, since both him and Jiang Qi had tendency to get sick a lot and their family wasn;t well off at that time. The temple was a new home for him from then on. He mostly spent time there or in school, rarely even coming back. Slowly he became an independent individual where his parents hadn't seen him, but he was an outstanding student of the best university. The only stumble on his road to research were money, he didn't quit uni, he simply agreed for the show at first with one goal, I earn, but Jiang Qi goes back to school and passes entrance exam. Jiang Fang has extraordinary temperament, a bit alienated, a bit of a black-bellied person and has some sass to it. On the other hand, Cheng Si, the head of the Cheng family witnessed his family coming back to life when their lost daugther was found recently. His eyes long lost affection, since he had to bear the heavy responsibility of their family since he was young and had no support from his parents during this time. But then the little sister suddenly wanted to spend 2 million on chasing a star and as parents they were worried that she'd be cheated, so instead of her it was Cheng Si who added Jiang Fang on WeChat and started conversation. Both had no idea that this will be a start for them to become friends from strangers, and from friends to lovers. ML is very cute, he had never loved before, so his reactions are authentic. MC never cared to love despite the attention, but found Cheng Si really lovely and cute (his reactions, ML is taller and is hella handsome). The story is also a road through entertainment as traffic star to earn money, but without losing integrity. MC is a really cool and sassy character, so he's the main star to watch out for. Both were somewhat left by their parents, Cheng pair always was concerned about their daughter (Jiang Fang had a leg to save her actually) and Jiang pair kept Jiang Fang away for too long and also stopped even mentioning him at home since Jiang Qi always fought with them over it, before he saw Jiang Fang and became a bro con.
  • 和渣攻退婚后,我被豪门父母找到了 by 夕朝南歌 [on-going] / After retiring from a scum attack, I was found by my rich parents. Weirdly paced and constructed. MC is reborn and now plans to give a big surprise to his nominal fiance and his best friend who cheated behind his back. In last life he had no idea this happened and he had no idea why he was killed even, but now he can get back to them. He was also discovered through a variety show by his biological parents and now he realized why his "parents" never loved or really cared for him. Why I say it's weirdly paced, because first part is a routine revenge, MC is all scheming and more confident. He also meets his parents with whom he clicks pretty quickly, well he saw the evidence of how they loved and searched for him all these years. They also started to help him deal with the scum who actually bought MC from his adoptive parents. But then suddenly the scum dude family was discovered to be responsible for death of several ppl and they collected their severed head in a safe. Like wtf this was sudden. Also the scum had his revenge on the best friend of MC who seduced him for resources and actually abolished his legs. When it was suddeny over it was time between MC and ML, Both could be called childhood sweethearts, ML is a friend of MC's brother, he saw MC growing up before abduction, he always liked him and after reuniting continued to like him again. The whole tossing of MC was pretty fast and they enter the sweet love phase quite quickly. Also MC has a this strange change in character. There's no overall backstory, just these parts, it also feels strange due to sudden inserts of murders and stuff. And also how strange the whole MC being talented in acting is written. I dropped it.
  • 我在阴阳两界反复横跳的那些年 by 半盏茗香 [completed] / Those years when I jumped repeatedly in the yin and yang worlds. EXCELLENT! Really interesting take on crossing, but also seeing ghosts. I'm still reading, so giving a general idea. Summary: Xun Lan woke up in unknown place. He became a 18th line actor who has been hacked online and comitted suicide. The thing is the original owner did die, but Xun Lan crossed into his body with a bit of a bonus. He can see ghosts and talk to them, but ghosts are a bit afraid of him due to his abundant yin energy. Once MC helped two men to escape the ghost bus, but one of the two still got into  a serious car accident. How Xun Lan knew? He saw the person's soul near his house and from then on both were close to each other, trying to figure out how to return Qi Nian's soul back to his body while he was in a coma. Xun Lan helped to convey Qi Nian's words to his agent and in return Qi Nian taught him acting skills, but also they spent time together and helped people. Firstly, Xun Lan cleared his name from the harassment accusations. And later set on the path of acting. But actually his fans saw him more on social news. Arresting traffickers, saving people from comitting suicide, saving girl from a predator, running after a robber. There was no end to it making his agent almost having a heart attack every time. But this all happened in front of Qi Nian who actually took part in it and also had emotional changes in his heart, while witnessing Xun Lan time and time again, being reckless in saving people. Really great and interesting read to me.
  • 穿成替身后我跑路了[穿书] by 瑜眠 [completed] / I ran away after dressing as a stand-in. Just NOPE. I really feel weird about this one. The MC, Yu Xiang, is a realism painter that crosses to a cannon fodder type of person, he is kept by a gold master, but his next plan is to just leave. He is not a pro painter in this world, but he was a renowned painter in his world, he used it to his advantage to paint and slowly become famous, before he finally left. His main pet peeve was that hs gold master, ML, was in control of his life. But tbh it wasn't that bad. Sure thing ML was a bit selfish of - I need you here and let's meet here. But his biggest mistake was not protecting the person you're with against the so-called friends and such. He never made it clear about his White Moonlight he didn't really cared about. The story also feels weird, while it started as a normal routine with fighting against others and later getting a master to follow. He basically had a chance to move to new country where he escaped. ML wanted to understand MC and be more respectful and slowly integrate in MC's life, but just in spite MC did some really stupid shit. Especially befriending some weirdo that is obviously had a plastic surgery to look like ML. Which is impossible, but all in all weird. This dude happaned to be a serial killer, which was a sudden turn of events so ML saved MC from that dude. Later the gallery he worked for had an accident and he also helped to deal with it. Anyway many turns of events just didn't follow logic and were weird. The murderer part was the weirdest, like why suddenly bringing that in. I read it all and didn't like it in the end.
  • 我靠算命成为万人迷 by 凉白开开 [completed] / I became popular by fortune-telling. I finished this one and it's relatively good! I think I've mentioned it before, it has several loopholes that are connected to details, more than the story. It has a painter MC who had a car accident, he was hit by a car and the driver disappeared. His left hand that others praised as godly was abolished, yet he earned a bonus from it, if he looks ppl in the ey for 5 seconds he'll see their fate. Especially if they're close to their death. That's how he saved ML. ML comes from a wealthy family, but because of a fortune teller he was claimed as unlucky. That's why he hates fortune tellers and had a bad impression of MC at first. MC had to conceal everything to stay in the company and later became assistant to president (ML), which brought them closer together and ML started to see the good sides of MC. MC's hand was saved later. There's a bit of a family scuffle during the process, there's also a part where MC saved several people due to his ability. They also found a person responsible for hit-and-run that time. The only loopholes in details are actually about MC's hand. Like ML asked to tie his tie a lot, even though MC supposed to have rehab at that time or before when his hand wasn't really functional. There's also little about post-op rehab. So basically it's said MC can't use his hand, but used it a lot. I've read this one close to the one mentioned above, both had painters MC and actually a perpetrator, but here at least it was wrapped more logically. Also MC's painter path was shown different and although he had his hand working again he didn't leave to become a painter right away, he actually got used to his new life and didn't see it as bad. The other painful thing was that both MC and ML were quite oblivious and I'm not a fan of that.
  • 穿书后与偏执大佬HE了 by 有诗无酒 [completed] / After crossing the paranoid president and I have a HE. Summary: Shen Shu crosses to become a cannon fodder in the story of BE. Where an actor who is infatuated with the president creates all types of obstacles for all people who come close and has no scruples. But when Shen Shu crossed he didn't want to be near Qiao Rong, yet when he saw absolutely stunning and handsome man he thought he might as well do the deed. Although they had this night, Shen Shu later refused Qiao Rong's contract to take care of him, yet their encounters never stopped there and eventually he felt for Qiao Rong and saved him from BE. Pretty easy and leisure read to me. 
This is part of works I've completed or read on-going lately.
