        And I speak with statistics. I stumbled upon it and it's a big dumpster fire.
        Yes, I find it fun to study trashy stories, but boy some of them are like bad fanfiction. Especially urban stories, they're so out of proportion, like every girl has to be a: hacker, chinese med practitioner, designer. Like these are top three aahhahaaha

        I previously thought that jjwxc had copy-paste stories, but nah, in comparison JJ is decent and here is a whole different level.
        The one of downsides is that I may have read a lot, but there's nothing to recommend lol
        Oh, and I slowly started watching some Korean TV dramas to save the day xD

      在“全员恶人”的综艺里摆烂爆红 was hysterical. I don't know but this is one of few where I liked the humor and the show was close to what I've seen.

        Usually, the humor isn't anything funny, but here I was sincerely laughing a lot. Plus the show was actually closer to what I'm used to seeing instead of many shows that are described in the novels. It also helped that I tried to find episode of Running Man where I stopped watching previously and watching the show livened it up.

        Despite actually having a pretty bad life experience of the FL, which you can later see that she may look like a normal person, but some parts seem weird. And it's all because of her own story and growing up environment.

      It's new year and I'm currently laughing my ass off at the trashiest and dumbest BG novel I've ever read in these years. No kidding, the top

        I really can't fathom why she would still have ability to talk to an ex-husband who was responsible for her first child disappearance. She basically has no leads and I'll surprise you - she's not even looking.
        All hacking and all powerful. Sometimes her OP-ness doesn't play at all. Like she needs to make a family down, just hack them, why walk around buying the company.

        And it's all filled with such purposefully put misunderstandings, like kids know their parents are their parents (for some reason), but they cover their identities and in front of parents too, at the same time matching both parents.. I mean knowing that she found her child, wouldn't it bring them instantly together and then they could fall in love.
        Author you can deliver nonsense, I applaude XD

      Wow, the summary for this one is kinda misleading - 白莲替身他人设崩了[穿书] - doesn't say that if you read further it's all like case solving novel

        The thing about beginning is how original owner was kicked out by his gold master, since white moonlight appeared, but he also did not leave any ways of survival, like blocked cards, banned him from the circle etc.
        Original one would have died, but the one now is different type who doesn't mind being ridiculed and earning any money

        Yet the pair of novel Gong and Shou actually act really despicable, one acts as if he was hurt by people or emotionally and this stupid Gong runs against others all the time just to please this obvious green tea.
        So they feel brain-dead, and I suppose this is why I stopped.
        BUT NOW.. when things started to get bloody I was really surprised O_O

        This is why they say - don't judge. You have to read enough to judge.
        But I say, this has a turn of 180, since we just see MC who finds way to earn living expenses, but then BAM murder in the news, murder on the set, MC has a past that is not explained but is said that he was wrongly accused of murder. Like hey... the beginning and summary did not prepare me for this

        I noticed I have more metaphysics in modern settings lately. Most of these are decent, some are not my cup of tea. Who knows why I started them, I know damn well that in a while I'll put them on hold to wait for their full release, since it's a long wait to follow the updates.

        My mind was blocked, I looked at it and usually I can start remembering things once or twice pulling the memory string, but this.. I started to re-read and then reached middle to finally getting - oh, it was like THAT in this novel ahahahaha
        It's an okay one though
        But I'm still amazed how I couldn't remember anything

        It's a new one where MC wears 20 years prior and becomes same-name ex-wife who would elope in future.
        It has a lot to mention in this novel and beginning was okay, but second part was mixed. Anyway, what I'd like to mentioned I mentioned in the review.

        I have a feeling I wrote a lot and looking back I did.
        Good thing I managed to finish, because I feel like my head starts to pound and that means upcoming headache. yay....
        All in all an okay BG novel I guess, a bit weird here and there. At one point it's an okay one, but sometimes it goes out of proportions.

        I laughed the hardest, though did not mention about it, how the changes ML written off as he was getting old X'D I laughed like crazy. Age does play a role, but because when you age your view on things changes and some past things become less significant to their initial impact. And ML is like - I'm getting old..
        ahahaha
        But I rate it around 3-3,5 out of 5 tbh

        Also, if I lived in US my paranoia level would be so high after watching this one, I'd totally join the housewives who like to take something to calm their nerves.
        I find that it is put together nicely, funnily after the second watch I find how some things were obvious and more like - here you have it.
        But I remember long time ago when I first watched it, I was tense until the end.

        It has such a strong shoujo sniff at times XD an okay start, but honestly I wasn't so sure by the end of it. I also have questions about the ending but whatever.
        World of cultivation, which is rare in my book, it just doesn't get me as excited.

        MC is more like a lively twittering bird, he sometimes can be really wilfull but at other times really loving and caring. Gong is like an iceberg at first due to "forced" marriage, but warms up soon.
        Really short and easy to digest story. oh yeah MPREG though. I just wanted to read about babies *shrugs*

        I've also read it after watching like 6 movies and reading 5 historical romance novels lol. Some of it I put on the blog, others are kept for later. I looked through my blog and thought it actually looks a bit like a bot ahahaha since it's different things all-together.

        OH! I only now found out that it's being translated on NU, so I basically copy-pasted my review here as well. Should have seen it before, but forgot to check.
        Short reviews are coming soon. I collected few that I read or partially read lately.

        If I'm not wrong, I just forgot this point, usually I always check if the novel is on NU, but these should be not. Anyway short reviews for several titles, this post being pending in drafts forever, I wanted to add more that I checked out, but that can take forever. So here we go.

      重生之顶级超模/Rebirth of the top supermodel. It's a BG one, not BL. Though both are messy. But this is messy in a different way.

        I understand that MC is ambitious, though she comes off as a greedy person that doesn't stop, she starts this and that, and basically is involved in so many businesses that you wanna ask - sis, when are you gonna stop?

        It's a rebirth text with MC being like a cannon fodder in the book, he never did anything bad, just died on the highway after seeing his husband on the hot search with another person kissing.
        Another person loved him his entire life and this is our ML who comes upfront in this timeline, but...

        There's really nothing exciting, I don't like this type of novels that also mull over one thing for too many chapters. Like the feeling of getting tired from this novel came after ch28, since nothing much happened, rebirth, one evening, quick divorce and it's basicaally in the span of two days.
        I skipped through and it's all mostly cookies

    Around early '19 (I think), I went for a deep dive into Chinese BL novels and can't surface since.
    Personal attraction is actually because of heavily edited novels the stories come across as.. actual stories, cleaner stories.
    Regarding preferences:
    • Fav genre: QT, rebirth, entertainment
    • Satisfactory factors: plot twists, author's personal style that makes them unique, positive messages, bad guys get what they deserve
    • MC candidates: strong personalities, but actually those with compassionate heart as well
    • ML candidates: non-obsessive, supportive and loving partner
    Though I read other genres as well, but these are my favorite that keep me involved.
