I've been using it to decompress for quite some time (even before you-know-what-happened).
Also, while working I read this novel and it was bad - https://hy-d-ra.blogspot.com/2022/07/chinese-bl-novel.html
After reading it I felt I was too harsh on Secret love guide by author of FOD.

And they created another hateful system, which I don't understand why MC doesn't just throw out the window and serves like it's his grandfather, while it does all the despicable things and almost a verbal abuser.
MCs tollerance or EQ are on a different level, it's so unreal that it reaches a Virgin Mary level

Also the plot so far isn't anything new, at all, I can understand the feelings and cooperation of MC at the start (like he wanted to go back and find out truth), yet now he knows why he was cast aside, but if MC keeps up like that, I can say that, unfortunately, I'll be pretty disapointed. I've been waiting for like 10 chapters already fro someone to kick the system's ass.

Oh yeah, I wrote two reviews on BG novels I read previously
1. https://hy-d-ra.blogspot.com/2022/07/chinese-bg-novel-female-supporting.html
2. https://hy-d-ra.blogspot.com/2022/06/chinese-bg-novel-light-of-technology.html
RL is same old

Since I haven't seen the Eng version (I really wouldn't want to see anyone wasting time on it), I created the review. Haven't finished it yet, but boi it's enough for me so far. Really the delivery of the story is just... not good to me. And many things that should be good messages are nto well integrated imo. I think I might drop it...

Posted the full review on the blog, since this novel is not translated on NU, at least I haven't found it - https://hy-d-ra.blogspot.com/2022/06/chinese-bg-novel.html
I also posted another review about a novel I read before this one - https://hy-d-ra.blogspot.com/2022/06/chinese-bg-novel-rebirth-shadow-queen.html

I'm not sure if I'll continue to post, at least posted these so far.
My overall situation hasn't changed. I spend time with my phone and reading is one of stress reliefs same for reviews.

And what could I do with my time, since laptop was packed with essentials (it's always packed, so I could grab it at any time and go), my phone and I never been so close, since I'm not addicted to phones. I read and played the relieve stress. I actually switched to BG too, read like 8 or more novels by now (most are bad).

Stay safe bruv~

Ok, gotta go do my daily routine (measuring blood pressure, no kidding). And then eat. Who knew the matter of food that was considered so trivial is now just... anyway, we do have many things available, not like before of course, but you get what you get. You can't be choosy and I'm quite happy and try to make same things in a different way.

Stay safe and take care~

please stay safe and hopefully rest well! we'll be praying for you

stay safe and strong, my friend.

And the second one is actually quite hilarious at times. But with a note: I've been searching for good old strong main character, who deals with several villains and changes fate for the better. I just missed it, thus I found this type of novel. But heroine is a bit black-bellied one and I like it. I know villains are dumb types, but (tbc)

The style of it is so light-hearted, mostly it's written with good humor and made me laugh not once. Author themself admit to low IQ of villains. The arcs and stories differ from the BL transmigration genre, at least to me they're different. Plus heroine doesn't follow the "fated" man in every arc genre, so it's good. She's the one in the lead :'D

But these are long (to me it's a good thing). The first one was like 400+ chapters, I actually wrote a review on that one.
The second is already reaching 500 chapters soon (it's on-going).
I feel like I disappeared while reading.

Though I must confess that the amount of read stuff makes me a bit exhausted from it and I must change lines and switch to something different in order to recuperate :'D

Unlike previous novels this is outright humorous despite all the blood and gore mentioned. I still can't get over the fact how Sangwo masterfully manages to connect details in arcs and slowly start mentioning the bigger plot that is happening on background. Still my main favorite will always be 'mother of the world'.

Spoilers, but 'mother of the world' is a state that MC enters from using a prop 'Holy Infant'. Most touching is how he got that prop in the arc by becoming (not literally) a mom to a hundred of ghost infants. I mean the story itself was touching and funny, but also comment area was so bomb at that time.

In my opinion they're very anti-routine. I heard novels about MCs who are not afraid of ghost, they might be ghosts themselves or MCs on the contrary who are scared, but they manage to survive. BUT HERE. MC is a fraudster and a liar. And he lies back and forth and it works. And he's scared more than anyone. Has high alertness due to his occupation :'D

Review on this novel is here: https://hy-d-ra.blogspot.com/2021/12/chinese-bl-novel-i-wear-it-back-after.html

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

The ankle-breaking guy or someone else?

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.

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

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.

Hi hydra, i love your list about bl recommend, but i'm curious about other danmei u read mtl, what apk you recommend to read mtl more easy bcz google translate not help at all

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

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
