Mini Reviews: My Dad is the Galaxy's Prince Charming, The Short Story of ShaoWang, You Boys Play Games Very Well

Author: You Qian
Chapters: 198 chapters
Publication: 2017
Summary from Novel Updates: 
What would you do if your planet ceased to exist after a nap?

Once upon a time, there was a princess…

Scrap that.

Once upon a time, there was a hermit called Yao Si.

She was an orphaned hikikomori who lived a peaceful and mundane life in her cosy little apartment.

Just when she thought she’d live out the rest of her mundane days… she died.

By a strange twist of fate, she was somehow turned into a vampire, even worse, a fifth-generation weakling with no combat ability at all.

Vampires had their own little secret society, cultural feuds, and called themselves bloodlings.

With the threats of another civil war among the bloodlings, Yao Si remained composed.

‘Even if this war of bloodlings rages on again, it will need a miracle to affect me,’ she thought.

So, a miracle occurred…

When she was woken up from a millennnia-long nap, she found that her beautiful mother planet Earth had ceased to exist.

Even the oldest bloodling in the entire universe was now one of her grand [ times infinity] child.

Everyone will have to call her “ancestor” from this moment onwards!

The peasant Yao Si had successfully revolted and taken charge, let’s see who dares to call her a weakling anymore!

“Hey! You, that guy over there!

“Yes, you.

“Come on, let’s fight, if I lose, I will call you ‘dad’!”

So… she has a new dad.

Yao Si “…”

Mu Xuan “…”
4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

I wasn't really sure what I was getting into when I read the long description lol. It had vampires, a huge time skip, interstellar setting, action, and lots of comedy!

Yao Si suddenly found out that she became a low-level vampire only to suddenly wake up thousands of years later to find out that vampires are one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy, and that most vampires are in the thousandth generation. This makes her fifth-generation status so high that she becomes a princess since only one other person is higher than her!

What follows is a bunch of hilarious antics as she learns more about her abilities, the current world, and the people who follow her, including her "dad" Mu Xuan. 

I had a fun time reading this novel. There's action, suspense, intrigue, comedy, and a bunch of foolishly doting characters! Definitely recommend reading it!

Summary from Novel Updates: 
The omega school tyrant, legendarily known as “Yan Ge”, Jiang ShaoYan’s heat is approaching. He thought he had no other choice but to seek out an alpha stronger than himself to get him through it, but suddenly an underclassman appeared saying he liked him? Wait, wait, wait, having such weak pheromones yet daring to hit on this Ge? This Wang isn’t that foolish, right?

4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW:

This is kind of a reverse of your typical a/b/o story. Instead of your typical aggressive alpha, you have a strong and confident omega who rules the school. Instead of your typical weak and submissive omega, you have an obedient and puppy-like alpha.

There are so many misunderstandings in the story, which makes you go crazy because you, as the reader, know better. But it makes sense. These aren't your typical misunderstandings that can usually be avoided if they talked it out. Guess what, they do talk! But they still don't understand each other! Lol it drove me crazy but also made me sad because the male lead kept on getting hurt.

Once they finally got over their misunderstandings, things were exponentially better. They still had things to workout, but it was remarkably better than all of the hurt from the beginning. 

But damn, you really do hate some of the side characters. You'll know who they are as soon as you run across them lol.

Overall, a very good read if you're into a/b/o!

Summary from Novel Updates: 
When he defeats them, he leaves hospice care: A father’s love is like a mountain! Are your shoulders heavy?

When he is defeated, he leaves backhanded compliments: You boys play games very well~

Ling Meng is a high-ranked casual gamer playing “The Legend of the Galaxy”. Infamous for his poison tongue, he’s known in the forums as Lemon Dad and he carefully cultivates a following of black powder fans over time. The trajectory of his fate completely changes the day he plays a match against the popular god-tier live stream anchor, Mangosteen. A meme created out of his dying words makes him a countrywide laughingstock and he begins to stalk Mangosteen to determine his rival’s weaknesses…to beat him in a match for revenge!

They fight with each other, stream with each other, and even exchange a naked photo with each other.

This is the love story of a lemon and mangosteen.
4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

Look, I liked this novel enough that I read it a second time.

It's just so cute and funny, and I love the fact that every character in the novel has a fruit name lol.

This novel is about two popular streamers for a game called "The Legend of the Galaxy" and how they ended up together as watched through their streams and daily interactions. One streamer, also known as Lemon Daddy, is known for his poisonous tongue and hospice care he gives after he defeats others. The other streamer, known as Mango, popular for his playing and breakdown of the game. After a game where Lemon Daddy loses to Mango and leaves some particular hospice care, he finds out that Mango streamed the game, and he instantly became a meme!

This novel is a delight to read, especially when you want something light and funny. The characters are super cute and funny, especially when they interact with each other in the game. 

There's a lot of slang in this book, which can take a while to remember what they all mean. Luckily, there's a lot of footers to help explain everything. 

Why do I like reading esports novels when I don't even play video games? I don't know lol.
