    Finished this one. Good read. Thanks for recommendation. :cookie: Even if plot structure is the same and MC is mostly doing nothing except interacting with FL it was still not boring. And yeah last ark was hilarious mess.
    Finished this one too. It was great! :blobscream: even if it was not relaxing read. BE in main arks. Possessive to abnormality FL. And that ending... It was expected that it was HEA but not like that.
    If it is about chart - top left - Kase-San, bottom middle - Kashimashi.
    If about others - bottom one is Mage and demon queen.

    I am requesting help from my fellow Yuri gardeners.

    For some reason I can't find a proofreader for my yuri works and have about ~8 chapters that needs proofreading.

    Anyways hoping to find a kind lurker soul who has good English to proofread my yuri releases. I got quite a few for my BG but one for my yuri works who is really busy....

    It's getting to the point that I stop translating to let them catch up.

    Thanks!

    Daily recommendation: The Space Between by Michelle L. Teichman.
    I loved this story, and quite frankly, although there were two main characters, Harper just stole the show. I loved her very much. This book is about coming out and experimenting with one's sexuality. I love stories like this, because it tackles how coming out can affect not only the person in question, but everyone around them. Many stories don't tackle this, so this is a breath of fresh air.

    It's filled with drama, but the romance is worth it.
    Harper is a super popular girl in school, taking after her older sister. She's been out with tons of boys, but there was always something lacking. She starts to really dislike this whole facade she placed on herself all because she wanted to be just like her older sister. Harper doesn't know how to escape this cycle, until she met a nerdy yet super cute girl named Sarah, a girl who is filled with anxiety in making friends. How is she supposed to react when Harper, the most popular girl in school, starts to get...awfully close to her? Is this how female friends are? Must be, right?

    This is probably one of my most favorite books, but the only problem I have with it though is that
    Harper was so, so brave in confronting people who had a problem with her sexuality, while all Sarah wanted to do was hide in the corner. In my opinion, Harper deserves better than Sarah. However, even though this is my own opinion, these two girls do complement each other very well.

    Another book I have read:
    后宫拯救计划[穿书]
    It's a transmigration novel, 1V1, HE. All I can say is that this is a fun ride. I thought it would just be fluffy but unexpectedly it contains actions and all that. It blown my mind. Also this MC is quite pitiful to me...

    I'm finished reading this: Sticky
    The first chapter is really heavy, a
    TsunYan (no dere at all!) is asking her big sister to die, before being implied to stab her in the chest, they were kidnapped, the kidnapper are a sicko who asked them to stab 3 cm on their body, but fl said she always hope mc her big sis to be gone forever from her life, her every wish is to her to go away forever. big sister is always really kind to her, spoiling her since she was small. the big sis is fl's uncle's adopted child who was later stayed with fl. after mc died, police sympathized with her, and fl went home to take a bath. fl saw no towel, she groped around for towel, before asking ot "hand me towel." she realized that other person doesnt exist anymore and she's all alone now (no relatives left in the world). mc reborn to 8? years old, and fl is 6. she realized fl has hared her and decided not to spoil her and get her to like and accept, since she failed in last life. fl realized mc has changed, and threw temper while keep being tsundere brat. fl keep saying she hate her, while mc said I know. fl once asked, if you didnt try, how would I know that I won't like you? in which mc whispered she have tried, and she didnt dare to try again. loli mc spanked 6 years old loli fl, and fl complained to her parents. parents actually let mc spank fl, but dl told mc that the parents drove her out from house, in which 8? years old mc agreed and started to pack up. fl is stunned and prevent mc from opening the door and said she didnt want her to leave.
    .. fl changed a lot, and her mom talked about mc back then, if mc really left abd wont give her another chance, mom said fl will cry or something like that. anyway its... ailly text, the 6 yo fl and 8 yo mc actually cook ! and made rice. there was no adult supervision, they were left alone for few month? I'll just assume they used rice cooker ==a
    End game fl become more posessive and less tsun, later outright become yandere, she has been posessive since childhood.
    they both later get married, yet in the extra... its implied fl finally remembered her past life after nightmare, and apologized to mc while thinking and thanking to bring mc back to her and she's willing to attone for the rest of her life

    .... angst and sweet, HE
    Damn the little sister last life is too scummy, and she only chased mc cos mc was ignoring her. later she got possessive and loved her.
    thankfully mc is reborn and fl has changed

    Daily Recommendation from Kindle:
    A Moment in Time by Lisa Moreau
    It's a Romeo/Juliet style romance, and really sweet. Kinda short but sweet and to the point.
    Ivy Savoy has been having reoccuring dreams about her future love. She remembers mist and a very specific song in the dream, with a feminine figure reaching out to her, yet she could never see her face. What'll she do once Ivy finds out the woman in her dreams is part of the Fontenot family, her family's bitter enemy?

    Thanks for recommendation! :cookie: Still read only one ark but it was funny. :blobrofl: Hope it will last. :blob_grin:
    ----------
    p.s.
    Chinese yuri stories are quite unique even in MTL when you read those. I never expect while reading one of stories where confession/marriage proposal comes in form.... citing chinese communist oath and socialism principles. :blobsweat:

    Daily Kindle Recommendation:
    Battle Scars by Meghan O'Brien

    Ray, a soldier, comes back from war as a celebrity due to a video of a hostage crisis. Being the only survivor, she suffers massive PTSD, and coupled with the fact so many people recognize her face, it's hard for her to relax. A sort of recluse, she stumbles upon a woman who can slowly move her out of her shell. Only problem is, how can Ray reveal her feelings when therapy barely helps her cope with her trauma?

    I am going to read this story again to remember some of the finer details, but I remember really loving this story. Ray is such a bundle of love, however, you need to have patience with her due to her mental scars. She's such a lovely character whose only flaw (of being unable to portray her feelings) isn't really her fault. I loved seeing her struggle and overcome her trauma to achieve her happy ending.
