Title: My Son is a Reborn Villain
Author: 余书乔
Chapters: 134 chapters + 9 extras
Publication: 2020
Summary from Novel Updates:

Chi Wen’s short life has been bumpy. Ever since he could remember things, he was already living in the orphanage, growing up without a family. Later, he entered the entertainment industry and became a first generation film emperor. However, he finally ended up in ruin. In the end, Chi Wen jumped off the top floor of a building, but did not expect that he would get a chance to open his eyes again…

Back to his infancy, Chi Wen coldly looked at the woman who was laughing s*upidly in front of him. He waited, waited until the moment she finally abandoned him.

Fu Yuanruo was transmigrated as the cannon fodder in the novel ‘First Generation Movie Queen.’ When she first transmigrated, it happened to be the plot point when the malicious cannon fodder tried to frame the female lead for the last time. After that, her evil deeds would be exposed. The whole netizens mocked, and her father angrily drove her out of the house. A former wealthy and pampered young miss fall into the mud and finally died after accidentally falling into the water…

Because of the high popularity of the original book, the author used the daughter of the original female and male lead as the protagonist for the second book. The villain who had been against the main couple of this sequel also met his just end and died tragically. After his death, the female lead let out some vague words that made readers speculated that this villain was the illegitimate son of the prequel’s cannon fodder.

After recalling the plot, Fu Yuanruo stared at the pregnancy report in her hand. She was torn: should she give birth or not?

3 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

I loved the family interaction. Wen Wen is such a tsundere with his mom lol. Their antics were so cute and sweet. You can really feel their affection for each other. 

I really hated the female and male leads in the actual novel because they kept on appearing in front of Fu Yuanruo to brush up their sense of existence and to act like victims, which was so annoying. If they just left her alone, they wouldn't have their ending as bad. 

This book focuses more on family, so the romance is very slow and only appears more towards the second half of the book. Overall, a cute, sweet book about family.


Title: Low IQ Supporting Female, Waiting for Death Online
Author: Wei Ke
Chapters: 133 chapters 
Publication: 2019
Summary from Novel Updates:

Every novel has a low IQ supporting female that serves as a foil to the female lead’s good and beautiful sides. She’s the stepping stone on the path of love between the male and female leads, destined to live her life doing s*upid things until her tragic end.

One day, all of the villainous supporting females came to their senses. They began to rebel! And quit! For the sake of world order, the System found a human to take their place.

World 1: The female lead risks her life to shield the male lead while the supporting female quakes in a corner (and watches the show)

Male Lead: ?? So you never loved me.

Supporting Female: He finally found out, looks like my job was a success. The end of the year bonus is mine!

Male Lead: ?!

A fun and breezy quick-transmigration story~

4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

I really liked this book! The protagonists usually want to change the plot once they transmigrate into a story, but Ye Wei is an outstanding employee who wants to stick to the plot! She becomes so great at being a vicious supporting female character that it's ingrained in her bones. She just wants to get enough points to get a chance of winning the Chinese Medical System so she can waken up from her vegetative state and not make her parents sad anymore. 

Every arc was great. I definitely didn't notice the tragedy tag when I looked into the novel, so I didn't know that every arc had a bad ending, but it was so good! Wei Wei played her part TOO well lol. The ending after she woke up was also pretty unexpected. 

I liked how it was kind of open ended and how she continued to work as a supporting female character. I'm just confused on how it actually worked? Like, does her time stop when she gets transmigrated into a new world, or what does her original body do when she transmigrates? Does she get paid real money now or does her payment still only work in the transmigration workplace? 

The author wrote another book in the same franchise called Quick Transmigration with Female Lead Aura, which looks pretty funny, so I ended up reading it next lol. (Spoiler alert, I did lol)


Title: Quick Transmigration with Female Lead Aura
Author: Wei Ke
Chapters: 148 chapters 
Publication: N/A
Summary from Novel Updates:

Jiang Nian used to be an actress. One day, she died and became a quester for the Lord God. Her task is to collect aura of a female lead and prevent each world from collapsing.

It’s just that every time there is a lot of twists and turns, however, the most troublesome thing for Jiang Nian is that once the female aura rises to 60, it won’t rise anymore! What will Jiang Nian have to do to get a breakthrough?

4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

I've never read such a shameless, money-grubbing, confident female lead, and I loved her! 

The first two arcs were pretty entertaining because Jiang Nian has such a unique way of thinking. She wants to follow along with the story plot, so even though she outwardly does something, she's really thinking about how much money she's gaining or losing lmao. 

The third arc was my favorite because Jiang Nian turned the first two arcs into idol dramas that shocked the whole entertainment industry. That and her band of little brothers and how they had to scrape and beg for money to get funds for filming was HILARIOUS. I was laughing at almost every chapter! 

The other arcs were pretty funny, too, but I'm sure some stuff got lost in translation since I was machine translating towards the second half of the book. If some kind soul finishes translating this book, I will definitely read it again because I love Jiang Nian and how her one true love is gold lmao.
