3 STARS - I LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
If you couldn't tell from the summary, this is a MTL book. However, it's pretty easy to understand, so I definitely recommend it! Plus, it's pretty short and funny. Just enough to entertain you for an evening or two.
I loved all of the different ways Ye Moli constantly tried to find reasons to make Ji Mengchen and his family break up with her. His family's group chat are were also hilarious. This was a fun, entertaining book!
He Mianmian transmigrated into a novel and becomes the sister of the book's biggest villain, He Wenchuan. He Wenchuan is a sister complex, who spoils her sister into a masterpiece with an arrogant personality.
He Mianmian doesn't want to become a masterpiece, but if she doesn't follow the plot and doesn't act, she will be in pain all over. As a last resort, He Mianmian decided to save He Wenchuan and indirectly save herself. One of the most effective methods is to destroy the alliance between He Wenchuan and the black female partner.
However, I don't know which link went wrong. He Wenchuan should have been designed to have an indescribable incident with the black female partner, but in the end, it was He Mianmian herself! OMG!
------ When He Wenchuan was young, he picked up a pet for himself. He took good care of the pet and regarded her as his own possession. Until one day, He Wenchuan suddenly discovered that this pet could still eat and taste very good. But pets don't want to be eaten. How to do it? Then close it up!

2 STARS - IT WAS OKAY
MY REVIEW:
This was also a MTL novel, but it's also pretty easy to read. This is definitely not recommended for everyone though.
The brother is probably the most overbearing horndog male lead I've read so far. I was not a big fan in the beginning with how pushy he was and was debating on quitting the novel. However, I wanted to see how she would fall for him and kept on reading. Overall, it was an okay read. If you're into the domineering, overbearing male lead types, then this book is up your alley.
The wrong way to act as a villain no.1: Get rid of the protagonist while he still hasn’t become powerful.
The wrong way to act as a villain no.2: Take the limelight from the protagonist at the key moment.
The wrong way to act as a villain no.3: Make the protagonist fall in love with you, thus making him incapable of completing the final step – eliminating the major villain.
Han Changsheng, Head of the Demonic Cult, is the major villain who’s employed all three incorrect methods.
—————
As the leader of the first Demonic Cult in the underground world of martial arts and cultivation, Tianning Cult, Han Changsheng carried on the long-standing tradition of an unstable mind and a refusal to seek any treatment.
Originally, his life should have passed by quickly and simply, but one day he kicked a descended Immortal Lord off a cliff. In order to make up for this mistake, he must aid the Immortal Lord in ascending back to his position… but why does this mistake keep growing? Hey, Lao zi doesn’t need you as a younger brother, you should look for An Yuan! Don’t chase after Lao zi, you’re destined to be An Yuan’s wife! Don’t worship Lao zi as a martial arts lord, lao zi is the genuine leader of the Demonic Cult! Hey, Hey Lao zi is obviously the major villain! What the hell are you doing?!
4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
This was such a fun novel! It's so hard for a villain to maintain his cult leader reputation lmao. Who knew one mistake would lead to such disastrous results. And poor An Yuan kept on getting led around by his nose because of Han Changsheng's various plans.
After an accidental death, in order to continue to live, Gu Bai had to choose to go through various wonderful books to complete tasks.
Every time he became a variety of small cannon fodder inside the story, Gu Bai’s code of conduct when completing task is – by all means, don’t be inferior, don’t be shameless, don’t be upright… hold on to a golden thigh.
… N times after transmigrating
Cannon fodder: (angry contempt) … You’re already so powerful, why are you still shamelessly holding on to a golden thigh to deal with us!?
Gu Bai: (deadpan) That… holding and holding… got used to it…
3 STARS - I LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
Because each arc was pretty short, there was a lot of plot holes, especially in the beginning. However, if you suspend your belief a few times when Gu Bai follows through on his plans, then it's a pretty entertaining story as he fulfills the original owners' wishes. The imperial palace arc was really funny because of his body's instinctual reactions lmao. Gu Bai's emotional growth and overall storyline was also an interesting mystery that slowly unraveled.
Lu Nian transmigrated into the book, through the story she became a sickly woman with inconsequential role in the plot.
The Eldest lady of the wealthy Lu family the poor and sick beauty Lu Nian, the little cannon fodder who died within a few chapters in the original plot, but unfortunately, in order to assist the eldest lady, the Lu family took back a fake brother from the orphanage when she was young. His name is Elder brother, in fact, he is the servant of the eldest lady. He has a low status in the Lu family and is as humble as a dog. Anyone can beat and scold him.
Once Lu Nian transmigrated, she saw the pale and handsome young man stepped under her feet in front of her. His eyes were gloomy and cold, staring at her not far away. Lu Nian shivered when she heard his name. Qin Si?
Isn’t this what the last biggest villain in the book looked like when he was a teenager?
The last man in power of the Lu family was cold and uncaring, vicious, and overwhelmingly powerful. He took revenge one by one for the crimes he suffered when he was young, and he almost ended up with the male protagonist.
She was so scared to death that she decided to treat him well in her next limited life, hoping that he would save at least one dog’s life after he blackened.
Qin Si never thought that one day he would be able to receive the gentleness from her fingers.
The delusion that secretly grew, once came true, as long as she looked at him more and smiled at him, he could do nothing and give her life.
2 STARS - IT WAS OKAY
MY REVIEW:
This is similar to Guide To Raising the Sick Villain and Devil's Warmth where the main girl knows the terrible ending of the male lead and therefore tries to help him throughout their childhood and teenage years.
There's a lot of misunderstandings due to miscommunication or lack of communication, which I can understand. A lot of the time, it was like they were both having two separate conversations with each other due to their differing thoughts about the situation. Qin Si due to his low self-esteem and insecurity and Lu Nian due to her knowledge of the future.
However, I was more irritated with Lu Nian's naivety and overall lack of awareness. There were so many obvious clues about the family mystery, and her dad's plans with her and the Zhao brothers were blatantly obvious to everyone EXCEPT for her. Her passiveness just really annoyed me.
I wanted to quit reading the book, but I was already 2/3 through and felt like I should just continue to see if it got better. Luckily, their relationship got better and most of the misunderstandings were resolved, which was probably the best part of the book.
Lin Xiaoxiao, an obedient girl who is particularly prone to lose the golden peas, once a car accident, bound her fine work system every day.
The system allows her to penetrate into the world in the book, work hard to be the white moonlight of the future master hero, and then accumulate "value", and if she fails to complete the task, she will have to explode on the spot.
Xiaoxiao was trembling with fright, tears in her eyes: "Woo~~The hero is so terrible, I can't do it, what should I do? Huo~~~"
Seeing the host who can no longer counsel, the system hates iron. Gang, akimbo, threw out a copy of "Making Heaven and Earth", patted her chest and said, "What are you afraid of, learn from me!"
So Xiaoxiao followed the script with tears and courage to stop it. The male lead of a high school student, weak and weak: "You...Don't leave after school, I...I...I want to bully you."
Jun Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at the wicked milk. His future daughter-in-law, pulled someone into the grove and kissed her, took the initiative to take off her clothes, and Ren Jun picked it up and said, "Well, you bully."
Xiaoxiao:............... ........
To put it simply, this is a sweet story about the conscientious and dedicated female protagonist who wants to save his life and the male protagonist who only wants to spoil the female protagonist, "you are my pet"! It smells so good! Content Tag: Rebirth Sweet Wen Chuanshu Campus Search Keyword: Protagonist: Lin Xiaoxiao; Jun Ye┃Supporting Role: Other┃Others: Chuanshu; Female Match; System;
3.5 STARS - I LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
If you couldn't tell from the summary, this was a direct machine translation. If you can get over the incorrect pronouns, infer parts of sentences, and know enough idioms/slang like white moonlight, then I highly recommend reading this book! It was unexpectedly funny!
Lmao I love Jun Ye's relationship with his family. All the jokes that he was picked up from a trash can never fails to make me laugh. The best part was when his mom explained why they never pushed him to study hard! Lmao what a national treasure in their family!
Lin Xiaoxiao's relationship with her system was also pretty funny. I liked their banter and constant lying with their eyes wide open lol. I felt bad for Jun Ye because of Lin Xiaoxiao's tasks, but I also enjoyed seeing him confused and restraining his anger because he didn't understand why she was acting up lol.
All of the humor left me completely unprepared for the angst near the end though! Luckily, it was used to explain the past, and the book ended on a happy note.
Wu Jin, as a trainee from a certain entertainment company, had a peerless, stunning face. He was qualified to debut as a lead performer even if he just sat there and did nothing.
After signing up for a certain talent show, the shining path to stardom beckoned to him––
Wu Jin: Hold on, why is this show different from what we agreed on? Wasn’t it supposed to be about jumping around, dancing, and singing songs? Why do you have to send me out into the wilderness…
Program Producer: You’re a once-in-a-century high appearance value competitor! We’re relying on you to save the program’s ratings!
Wu Jin: … I seem to be on the wrong show. Wait a minute, this isn’t an idol show, it’s a fighting survival reality show ahhh!!
Ten months later, the little cutie who had been thrown into the show––
Turned into a human weapon.
Powering up through various instances, slight entertainment circle elements.
Extremely overpowered gong x little cutie who grows to become an overpowered shou.
5 STARS - I LOVED IT
MY REVIEW:
This was such an entertaining, hilarious, and informative book! The elimination rounds were varied and interesting, especially beginning with the tarot card round. I didn't expect to learn so much about the eras leading up to the evolution of dinosaurs or about the drama and politics about major players during during King Louis XIV - King Louis XVI's reign in France.
Wu Jin and Wei Shi definitely made the book better. I loved their relationship and how they grew together. Wu Jin's enthusiasm, fighting spirit, and sheer awe at Wei Shi at the beginning was super cute and hilarious. Wei Shi's laidback and hands-off but doting behavior was also super cute and hilarious. I love the POV shifts that go from action! fighting! gunshots! to taking the rabbit out for a walk and getting rid of pests along the way lmao.
The side characters were also great. I loved the White Moonlight family. The overprotective Zoe, the level-headed Wen Lin, and the all-brawns, no brain Caesar made their interactions so fun during the competition.
Caesar alone was such a fun character. He had that goofy, muscle-headed older bro type that got along with similar people like a house on fire. The best quote that described him was from his captain: Caesar was a single-celled creature, wasn’t he? What was his girlfriend thinking? Dating an amoeba? lmaooo
In between all of the elimination rounds that can start tiring you out, there's actually plot! And it's so good! All of the foreshadowing came out, and the plot twist was so good! The extras also tied up a lot of loose ends and were pretty fluffy, which I really enjoyed.
I bought some more poetry books lol.

I talked pretty big about reading some books off of this list last month and totally failed lol. So here I am talking reasonably saying that I will try to read at least something off of this this month lol. Progress :D
I read and watched a lot of things this month! :) Unfortunately, I didn't read a single thing off of my Books I Want to Read This Month list lol.
I had a webnovel reading slump where I wasn't really interested in reading any webnovels, so I read a LOT of manga and webtoons instead near the end of the month when I was working overtime lol. Was that the best decision? Probably not, but I still do it anyway lol.
I also ended watching some interesting stuff and rewatching Taylor Tomlinson's comedy special when Jessica came over for a weekend lol
