        了渣攻后我跟他小叔HE了 by 织墨. It's a short one. MC has a condition after being kidnapped when he was a kid and can't touch others and has insomnia. The one around him basically insincerely used the grace of saving him. But on engagement MC changes him to another person. ML helps MC with his condition. Naively written, but can be put in "okay" category.

        男配不想被安排 by 八爷党. It's on-going and I only started. I was attracted by the plot where MC is basically forced to follow novel nodes, if he does something out of bounds the plot is rewinded to the previous point like a save point.

        穿成大佬的炮灰联姻小娇妻 by 公子寻欢. Although it's naively written, especially the business part is just too much I think :'D but the overall feeling of it is with good humor. MC become a cannon fodder, but wants to save himself, but is bound by the system who wants him to earn capital and also save marriage. It gets funny when ML can see MC's thoughts above his head.

        And the thing is, the story itself at least seevral times had reminded you that the accident that happened to ML is not so simple etc. But things don't really progress beyond that.
        At that I can count that there were at least more than 40 mentioning of taking shower I mind you.

        When you read it all together you end up with only one impression - oh, their family is very clean.
        But generally it can be described as - MC crossed, agreed to marry ML, instead of original host abuse loved his nephew, loved ML's nephew, filmed in a series, played theater with ML against both families (both have family drama)

        And mostly apart of that is a lot of daily life. I admit most of it is cute and not bad and chapters are not long, but when you look back at 150 chapters and think - huh, the content so far was this much... interesting. I bet you anything, they will write to at least 200+ chapters and later will also add 100+ extra chapters about the children. Last time was like this

        I feel so pointless when I see settings like these. Maybe authors find it challenging to do, but why they think that acting the opposite isn't interesting?
        Like honestly, is it inspiring to read how a person who could do so much more is beaten back to simple collect of regret points (not just in abovementioned)

        I just don't like oblivious or super naive MCs and also stories where even if MC is ok, but he has to follow the plot and not OOC the character.
        Why am I so lucky lately to see so many stories where MC is a cannon fodder, but he still has to act like one, is it so fun for people to watch the drama, where's the joy of ripping everything apart.

        Ok, this novel [狗血文圣父受觉醒了] just started, it's from one of the authors I'm following, but basically conveys the feeling of smart and I'll do my thing, I'll fuck you up type of MC.
        MC plays his cards when he crosses beautifully and basically manipulates the scene, plays only when needed, but at other times - QUEEN

        Mostly I do it because recently I only had seen the type of QT where MC is always tasked to do something, which is totally uncalled for, or he's a dunse/oblivious etc. He must follow the script and other shit.
        God of Knowledge has one most perfect part, which ridicules it, when MC says to the system - when you see a pile of shit, you don't jump into it.

        I love it when his system was under the control of the Lord God at first, but recognized the power of MC who killed sons/daughters of Destiny picked by LG. And they mostly die mentally collapsed (and it's justified, not simple cruelty) and later system goes to light the candle for all of them when they simply arrive to the plane.

        You know how sometimes MC does things that are outside of boundaries and you feel wrong that revenge/face slap etc. are way more radical than the fault, but here you know why MC "loves" SoDs and drives them into corner.
        Not to mention that MC is a smart person and he keeps in the frame of science instead of being OP in everything.

      Found several good QTs by 牧白, although may not be that bomb, but you can see they have their own ideas. The ones I finished in comment below
      1. hy-d-ra
        hy-d-ra
        快穿之主神归来 (2016) judging by year it's a decent one, interesting worlds, decent characters, decent backstory in general. These characters now have their second novel, but genre changed to Infinite Flow.
        I was surprised to read some unique worlds and stories in this one. I like confident and smart MC, so it clicked with me well.

        Second I finished was 每次人设都是反派[快穿] (2021) has similar backstory of false gods robbing new main god of his power and MC looking for ML's soul shards in different worlds, some similarities were present (I read this 1st btw), but also had its' own unique stories as well. And a bit simpler in terms of backstory. Again liked MC, I love smart MCs, which have charm

      Fashion of MLs chasing wives to crematorium should either stop or return to logic. Making characters suffer for the sake of hurting is..

        I'm not against the genre, but it follows logic and not convenience and it is balanced and not an obvious beating.
        Damn! Like last 4 novels were either boring or this, I really have a bad luck in search or smth lately :'D And there are authors I want to read, but they've just finished and are collectively on pause.

        @Mr Popo Hahahaha yeah I know, I've seen tenths of comments under such novels that applaude to misery, but honestly I wish it had more sense and logic and not plain artificial conflicts that reek bad writing, just for the sake of it. though those who want things like these won't care, I understand that.

        A lot of creating drama about one thing and mulling over it. That's the type of story. I read their 你是我宝贝[重生], which I also couldn't finish at the last stage, because it gets a bit tedious (though this one is more melancholic and dramatic).
        Tbh both are mulling over something and having this angsty feeling
        Aug 28, 2021
      2. hy-d-ra
        hy-d-ra
        But conflicts in both are..a bit questionable to me. I'm not a fan when one setting or characteristic of a character becomes the premise for drama. Like here a lot of drama came from MC not knowing what to decide since he doesn't know if he travels back one day, so despite already being emotionally entangled with ML, he doesn't want to hurt him. Add 'uwu' at the end.

        No really, I'm like rewatching and for the first time I see so one-sided MC, other side characters got better opportunities and also have better adaptability, while he seeks only one and only way to enter the fashion circle, which tbh is a bad example how to live.

        Basically this one is almost over and it's a good one, at least I like it. I love the MC that although he's all confident now, but he had his own past which was not all flowers. It also has the slapping of bad relatives and also inadvertantly blocking path to "protagonist", though it's just a rotten person who transmigrated and used the plot to his own gains

        The relationship line is the best, several good emotional outbreaks, but it's all reasonable. Trust me. I've been trying other novels these days and two out of three had problem with logic and reasoning and it's all bad cliche and boredome. Here author gets better with their writing. At least it's a 5th book I'm reading and can tell they have their own style

        But the funny thing is a professional line. MC quit the dance school when he arrived, since he didn't want to continue that line, he was too involved in tech and games. He basically created a groundbreaking softwear and sold it to create later his own company and empire, while ML still thought that MC is unmotivated and doesn't want to learn etc. :'D

        It's also funny how at first ML was simply for pleasure, but MC turns things in such a way and has such demands as if it's ML serves MC in bed and not otherwise :'D In the period when ML considered himself the gold master. MC always treats ML's serving as default and it's really funny to me :'D This novl is really easy to digest and fun to read.

        [UPDATE] The novel became inbalanced in terms of feelings. MC was always on the higher ground, ML was the first to confess and made to wipe the dust. He put himself in a too inferior posiion with a not much background that would justify it. In general it's just a dance on ML's bones like he's not a human being and can be tossed howerer

        My recent-recent is 一觉醒来影帝揣崽了, which is quite basic rebirth novel (also jittery writing), but under the influence of me reading an ongoing 我哭了,我装的, which has some top non-routine MC I've seen lately, that it made the abovementioned rebirth novel seem so tasteless :'D

        Even more, before I found this one - 夺位[重生] This one is crazy. At least protags are. It's written weirdly, though idea of the plot isn't bad with transmigrator stealing MC's life while that person is being captive, before MC is almost driven insane, but plot twist not everything he was shown was true
        Aug 19, 2021
      3. hy-d-ra
        hy-d-ra
        Another one, I believe it's - 你是我宝贝[重生] was truly melancholic. Because ML didn't know that who he searched for is MC and MC had no idea about his life exerience and basically when he did figure out it was too late. In rebirth he didn't want to spend time on ML, though now ML knew person he wanted was always by his side

        Review: https://hy-d-ra.blogspot.com/2021/08/chinese-bl-novel.html
        MC crosses into another world, bonus is ability of seeing ghosts. ML will act as a soul (since ML will bein a coma) through part of the story. Seeking justice for wronged ppl and setting on a path where everyone thinks MC has ability to overturn your car if you've done something bad.

        Something happens on 31st of Dec every time and he is reborn as a newborn. Although he tries to live fulfillingly, but still is reborn. When becoming numb he then tries to find the solution and remembers what triggered the rebirths, made him join the boy group, ex-mate of which he saved before his first rebirth.

        Basically it touches on the entertainment and singing. MC, Jiang Bai, joins the idol boy group - Oxygen, to get closer to the ex-member he saved back then.
        Some entertainment routines, some face slapping. It's actually an easy type of read with little drama. But honestly when it came to feelings between him and ML, I really liked it. So 5/5.

        MC is my biggest pet peeve. He's like a silly mascot. The problem that was raised was that MC is really unlucky, so he wanted to quit, but later found out that many of those were artificial, so it should have changed his disposition a bit? You bet. Not. Till the end in many cases he stays very unconfident about everything.

        The problem of such writing is that yeah you might distress for MC for a minute or two, but when he gets recognized and gets awards, ppl say his acting is great, basically you have to believe because you're being told to. And that's a no to me.

        Anyway, I feel shallow about it. It doesn't have faults of being really bad, it's just hella boring and nothing new. Protag isn't a threat, since many things are cut off for him. The romance is shallow. I dislike when they describe oblivious character and then boom - greasy love.
        2/5 for the effort, otherwise I'd smash 1/5 for the boredom.

        MC basically puts money into almost bankrupt company, tries to fill in all his money with no return. But it got different result, people are loyal, brain supplement is strong, they often try to guess MC's moves and do things for the benefit. So his empire grew in size.
        He wants to bankrupt because he is cannon fodder in the story with bad end if he struggles

        ML happened to be an actor who comes from a wealthy family. He fell for MC at first sight and basically they came together after some times of knowing each other.
        Although it sounds normal, but these parts are really fleeting and their relationship doesn't occupy much. Basically you forget about ML while reading.

        The whole thing is 166 ch. The routine is the same - MC invests and waits for no return but returns are big, he tries to invest in other fields, but they also get a huge return. Each situation like that or going against a rival are absolutely the same in their pattern. Everyone gets a slap in return.
        So although easy, but turns repetitive and longer than I'd prefer.

    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.
