玄学大佬是罪仙
(mtl: The boss of metaphysics is a sinner)
BG story. This novel has just started to be published and even the author is either very new but decent or it's a vest (yet who cares), but I actually liked the writing style and content of this novel so far. The basic setting is that Huayin wakes up with no memories of her past (her overall timeline should be something like: she lived for the longest time when cultivation world was still full of wonders, then she was punished and her memories sealed, for unsealing she has to collect merits, but she decided to unseal forcefully, which failed), she knows vaguely only few things that can be based on her temperament or her reactions, thoughts and emotions. Said to be a sinner, but she has no idea what is her sin and how great it is, not to mention in this modern age she is now, she witnesses many injustices, but completely hates that others also sin, but her punishment is so devastating compared to them. Just 50 years before Huayin return she was sent to one of the hells, she barely survived and returned, also had vague impressions about a man named Ah Zhao with whom she seemed to be in love with previously, but she was met with something that she did not expect, while her soul was away someone managed to steal her fairy bones, thus 80% of her cultivation is now gone, her merits were also gone, her body was almost erroded and now to return at least some of the previous condition she has to re-open the Chaoxi Pavillion, which solved human and ghost problems for centuries, which gets her the merit she needs to collect to lift the seal. So it's basically a modern-settings story with metaphysics and ghosts. The main character to me really comes out with a temperament, she doesn't feel flat like many MCs at all. The story is interesting, many things start happening right off the bat, so it feels quite upbeat. I know I'll be happy reading more of it.
国师带着皇帝的小金库一起穿了
(mtl: National teacher wears a script and brings an emperor's treasury with him)
BL story. Another on-going story that basically just started, so far so good though. National Teacher Xie Qingfeng to protect the dynasty blows himself up with traitors in the emperor's treasury. He expected to be dead, but he opened his eyes in modern times, sitting on the floor and foreign memories pooring in his mind. This is a tragic story of a boy named Xie Qingfeng who was wrongly held at birth, because both children were Xie. He just returned to his biological parents house, but did not live together even for few months, but was framed by the fake son. This moment wasn't only on the personal level, but because the fake son brought a friend who liked broadcasting this event and harming others spread online and ruined the boy's reputation. He was only 18 and just passed college examination, yet with his personality it was hard for him, the bigest blow to him was returning and finding that his adoptive parents died one after the other, which led to another wave of unnecessary rumors. The boy was devastated and died not long after, he was reborn, but he gave up this rebirth chance to someone else, he didn't want to live again. This chance fell upon Xie Qingfeng with same name. Unlike original XQF he knew that this set up and framing isn't a simple thing, what people saw wasn't real, but the distorted version because of a spell. Since he was a national teacher he knew his metaphysics well. He came back and decided to completely tear the connection between him and his biological parents who were so against him, he proved his innocence and walked away, not giving a damn that the fake son got a backlash because of his spell, this is what he deserved. He went back to save his adoptive parents and found out that it was the fake son who set everything up, so in original storyline all these people fell victims to a harmful spell. XQF starts his journey meeting different people and helping them solve their problems and if they encounter ghosts. At the same time XQF finds out that the treasury full of jade travelled to this time with him, he can spiritually enter and use jade, but he didn't want to, even if he knew that original treasury must be gone. It's indeed gone, we witness the emperor who galloped back to the palace to find the news of XQF passing, in grief he spends a lot of time in treasury where he finds a clue, first he saw one of the jades that were still intact lose its' luster, but then there was another ring that was added, emperor unlike others believed that national teacher is in others place. The summary promises that both of them will meet in the modern times. Will continue reading.
替嫁后我笑得想死
(mtl: After getting married I can die laughing)
BL story. Ning Sui was asked to marry instead of his fake brother. The two were mixed at birth and it was only not long after Ning Sui returned to the family, but his feelings were completely wasted on this family. In their eyes he wasn't good enough and wasn't presentful enough, no one cared about his well-being or feelings. So he stopped bothering all-together. Three years prior to his marriage to Ji Yucheng Ning Sui contracted a system, through which he can get money by keeping contact with certain people, so while others thought he was close to Ji Zhilin, only Ning Sui knew that it was all for money, even if he invested, even if he earned and spent a lot, but he loved money. So when Ji Zhilin offered to be sent to Ji Yucheng instead of his fake brother Ning Sui never bothered to say no, because unlike Ji Zhilin with whom he spent three years (without crossing the border), he jumped the offer, after all Ji Yucheng is on top of the list. Yucheng is in vegetative state? Doesn't matter.
Ji Yucheng actually wasn't completely vegetative. He also got a system, but it was almost a pointless system, it couldn't give him anything, only explain what is happening outside. Yucheng spent all years on the bed, but he was actually sober, before he had a little wife who unknowingly helped him out of this maddening state.
This is the setting of this novel, it's pretty funny. But some may not like one point, since for getting the money Ning Sui has to keep physical contact. It doesn't mean he ravished unconscious Yucheng, but he indeed kept touching his hand or abs. The most daring was to touch Yucheng's member. Some of it he had to play in front of others to show his infatuation, since he needed others to believe that he liked Yucheng before anyone else. He accepted it was wrong, after all it's system requirement to hold hands and such and he was waiting to be kicked out when Yucheng would wake up and Yucheng himself came from phase of being repulsed to accepting, since this is how the plot worked out. But yeah, here you have it. Will continue for a bit more.
炮灰的佛系日常（穿书）
(mtl: Cannong fodder's daily Buddhist lifestyle)
BL story. This one has just started, literally. I know this author, but I don't think I brought their novels before to review. Anyway, the beginning actually feels pretty rushed, since in just few chapters it feels like a lot happened. But the premise is that Wen Bai travels from ancient times to present, which is also part of the book script. He is a son of Ye's father first wife, he lived away for 15 years and after his mother's death he was brought in the Ye family (for some reason, who knows). Anyway, of course not many welcome him and not many even have a fracture of respect or expectations for him. In the book he was framed and sent to do Chongxi instead of his brother who regretted agreeing, because of this frame-up he was again hated and in the end his husband never woke up and he died from depression at young age. While Ye family with the use of his dowry and relationship with the Lin family entered a new prosperity. Wen Bai who traveled would not give them a chance, he survived at troubled times and managed to be loved by old and new emperors. Funnily his husband woke up like in the first or second chapter, which is really fast even in these type of stories. But the style of storytelling is really like a galloping horse. Will continue to read.
他们后悔了但我不要了
(mtl: When they regreted it, I don't want them anymore)
BL story. Tbh I did not like it, it did not hook me up, I spent several chapters just being sad for the MC - Yue Yu (honestly have no idea how his name should be pronounced except his last name, since it is mtl'd into hundred versions). ML calls him Xingxing so let's go with the stars.
Xingxing is the child of a divorced couple, so you can imagine that it's an oil bottle that nobody wants, I can assume that his childhood unhappiness was solely because of the unhappiness between his parents, no matter how he did, good or bad, no one cared about him much. His mother re-married into a wealthier family, as she wished, so she spent time fawning and taking care of her stepsons, though those boys were hostile to Xingxing at first and even now when they grew up the eldest had other thoughts about his step-brother. But of course no one cared. As for his father, he was a painter, he never regarded Xingxing's art good, though later this very art helped XingXing pay his tuition. yet when this father got a daughter, it was regarded as a treasure, which made me completely sad. What did the child do wrong, the child should not bear the blame of your failed marriage and it should not bear your hypocricy. But what made me sadder was ML. Although author makes thousands of comments how loving ML is, but honestly, can you not write a possessive person? Just for once? Lin Shifei it feels fell in love with YY long time ago, he made friends and they were really close together, but he continued to make moves, yet wrapped it up as "good bros". Tbh I felt sorry for YY. His entire life he looks for some bit of love and the one who gives it, still has his own possessiveness, yet it's also a bit morbid and concealed. You can say that he doesn't want to frighten YY. But honestly I think pure feelings coud have worked as well. Maybe someone likes such two types together, but I think with such backstory YY doesn't deserve to be treated like this, he deserves honesty and love. Will not contnue to read.
